The Most Awesome Bachelorette Party Ever

After the liquor store we went to Heather’s. The horns were such a great idea and after being presented with them, Heather’s somewhat bizarre questions made so much sense! Though after looking at myself in some of the pictures, I probably would have benefited from using a mirror to put them on. 😉

This was the Most Awesome Bachelorette Party ever. I sent my mom and older sister links to the flickr sets from my trip today and my mom said, “Great pictures honey, but aside from playing twister, which is fairly spectacular by itself, what was so awesome about this party?” I have all the dirty pictures on friends only to avoid any awkward questions.

And I tried to relay to her what was so awesome about it, leaving out the over-abundance of penises, but I don’t know that that will come across well enough for her to really understand. Mostly because it was the company that made it so great. I was worried that I’d feel out of place because I only started reading most of you guys within the past few months because of Karen’s wedding (not that I’d ever made a decision NOT to read you guys before, I just worry about appropriating people’s favorites so I try not to note-hop too much). But I didn’t.

I had a couple of glasses of punch early on, which I didn’t realize had alcohol in it until the next day, so that might have helped with the social lubrication, but I really think we all just clicked. And that’s not something you can really explain.

I’m an Honourary Newfoundlander! I still can’t decide if I want to put the certificate on my cubicle wall at work. I’m fiercely protective of things that are special to me and don’t want to explain the whole screech in custom to people at work who won’t get it.

Jenny might kill me for pointing this out, but I think it’s adorable that she was sticking out her tongue to concentrate. I didn’t notice it at all during the Most Awesome Bachelorette Party Ever, but after looking at the pictures it just jumped out at me.

Erin was in the midst of asking me what my trick was. I didn’t have one, honestly. I just tossed it without giving it much, if any, thought. My spatial acuity is horrendous, which is why I thought it was funny that I got the closest.

The slide whistle was too much fun.

Now with less butt in the air!

I loved Dicktionary and Pass the Parcel. These are things that I will probably include if I ever throw a bachelorette party. It wouldn’t come close to how completely awesome this one was, though. Heather, Erin and Jo did a wonderful job!

I think hanging out with you guys for most of last week has altered my perception of how friendship should be. I’ve always imagined groups of friends could get on like we all did throughout the week, but I’ve never really been a part of a group like that so I was figuring it was me and I might as well take whatever friendships come my way.

I figured I’d have a hard time coming back to work, but I’ve had three days of work already and still feeling frustrated at the girls at work because frankly, they just don’t measure up. It’s weird because I used to feel like I was making some sort of progress in the friends department with these girls because they’re fun and we can laugh and joke together and get along well enough, but honestly, the sort of humor and fun that I have with them is paltry in comparison to last week. It’s not their fault that they’re without, but I find it less easy to tolerate the small talk when I know there’s better stuff out there; that I can have a deeper connection to people (in real life, even!) and still laugh my ass off with them about cakefarts and butterflies flying out of penises.

I’ve never wished for significant advances in teleportation technology moreso than in the time since I’ve been back home. And I was in a long-term long-distance relationship for a few months a couple years back!
