ratti pillo loves you always.

last night was so much fun! it was one of those nights where you truly understand the meaning and need for awesome friends. Even amongst the drunken hilarity. I had my grad party with my friends, and most of my friends were able to make it, though I was a little upset that a couple of people didn't end up coming even though they said they were. Oh well. Mommy and I slaved about the kitchen to make lots of yummy food, and everyone loved it. I made chicken skewers with thai-red curry peanut dipping sauce. It was a winner. Everytime I have a party with food, everyone always goes home more than satisfied.

So, like all my close friends were there, and I was really happy that everyone who came made it. It was nice to see everyone, especially since I leave for the Philippines in four days (!). I gave john his love overdue xmas and early birthday gift, Pedal, which is a dvd of a documentary made on bike messengers in NYC and also came with a book. He loved it. He also loved my house and gave my mom a hug, which I thought was very sweet of him.

Drinking started at 5:30 for me, haha, and I was pretty much blitzed by the time it was 8. I love drinking at my house, because I don't have to go anywhere, my bed is right upstairs, there are no long walks, etc etc. Anyhoo, my dad kept on coming downstairs to make sure we weren't blowing up the couch or something, and my friends who are undergrads kept on congratulating him on having such an awesome daughter, haha. It's pretty funny to hear my friends tell my dad that I'm a role model to them, but also very heartwarming and verge-of-tears kind of feeling, ya know? Anyhoo, Emily and I started chanting 'Number 1 DAD!" and my Dad was just making fun of me the whole night because I was so drunk. hahahahaha.

It felt like everyone at my party was pretty drunk, but in reality, it was only really me, Megha, Mike, Stephanie, Alexis, and maybe Marisol. Haha. I had so many shots last night (out of my trust JWU shot glass from back in the day...I never picked up a RU one) and Mike played a familiar role of the "Devil", his nickname in high school, because he'd always try to make us drink or eat more than we could. I was pretty much a champ, though.

I remember me, Mike, and Megha at the end of the night, laying down on my dining room floor, and me and Mike taking very Vogue-esque pics of ourselves (well, Stephanie taking them) and talking about out plans to go to Bergdoff Goodman drunk, demanding to be dressed in couture. Haha. I used 3 disposable cameras (and I don't know how). So many pictures were taken last night! Kareoke was redoc. and we had 2 pretty good sing-alongs with the whole gang- Total Eclipse of the Heart and Sweet Caroline (I'm talking about getting down on your knees, and adding in all the extra lines that go in the song, etc etc. SO GOOD!) and we were pretty much ridick. the entire night. So much fun. So many cigarettes. So much vodka (oouf). I totally want to have another party....erm next weekend. haha. But this time next week- I'll be here:

so, booyah.

However, the rest of summer awaits me when I get back and me and the crew have big plans.
