I survived the party (Piccies included)

Okay…I lived.  *looks around* I think. *laughs*

No, actually I did.  And I’ve got pictures!

First ones are me and Mum in our outfits. Hardly wore the masks at all. Mum couldn’t see out of hers very well anyway.

Okay…pictures of other people…This is John and Sheri…I actually went to school with John…but we didn’t run in the same circle.

This is Nicole…They call her ‘Barbie’.  She’s the shop Barbie doll. *laughs*

Okay…didn’t get any ‘normal’ pics of these next two…Though I’m not sure normal and Steve can go in the same sentence. Anyway…This is Steve in the loverly pink dress. *laughs*  And the other picture is his wife Kathy.

And here is The Mad Hatter…

And…Here we have…Ryan

Okay…Let’s see…pre-dinner cocktail hour was at 6:30…I think dinner was about 7:30 (which would make sense as it was a cocktail hour. *laughs*) . Well between those times, I took some glasses back to the room that they were handing out to all the employees…By the time I had gotten back to the room, I was really starting to kind of freak out a bit. I really wanted to hide out in the room. Mum wouldn’t let me take my cell phone with me to begin with…but while I was in the room I got it out…I tried calling Raya, but her line was busy…I tried a couple more times on the way back to the building where the party was at…Just having the phone there, in my hands made me feel a bit better….Like I wasn’t so far disconnected from my friends…

Ate dinner, then went and got changed into our outfits.  Came back…and I actually left my phone back in the room by then.  Did try calling Raya one more time before heading back to the room…*pokes at busy signal* *laughs*

Ryan was bouncing between his table and our table a bit. I didn’t really get to talk to him much at all. Though I do now know that he was awake when I yell back to Derrick that I wasn’t going to say hi to him…and he thought the whole exchange was pretty funny. *laughs*  Ryan was tech. there with a girl named Faith from the shop anyway.  Didn’t get any pictures of Faith…I think she looks like she got hit in the face with a shovel…Not to be mean or anything…but I swear her whole face is just…well..flat. *shrugs*

At one point I got that whole feeling of not really belonging there…And as I didn’t have any of my own friends…all I could manage to do was look longingly at the dance floor. *sigh*

This other random guy who walked by a couple times smiled and nodded at me. I haven’t a clue as to who it was…and Mum wasn’t around at the same time…so I couldn’t even ask if she knew who it was.
This other guy was standing by our little gathered group at one point, and got awfully close to the chair that I was staning on my knees in…Well actually he rested his hand on the back of my chair…brushed my hands when he did it…not sure if it was intentional or not…I think he was a whole lot of drunk. *laughs*

We left before the party was done…as not much was really going on. I was actually kind of reluctant, as I was still hoping to get to dance.  And kind of hoping to get a chance to at least talk to Ryan a bit.

Anyway…went back to room…And got changed into swimsuits (which we had to go back to Wal-Marts after we got to the hotel to get, as neither of us thought to pack any)…and headed out to the hottub. And I proceeded to swim around the hottub. Yes, I said SWIM! Bloody hell…this hottub is the size of a swimming pool, but is an actual hottub…with nice hot water, and lots of bubble jets.

And then went back to the room…I was in bed, and headed off to sleep at 12:30 am.

Oh…and Arwen…I guess you are right…there are going to be Harry Potter people everywhere.  *laughs*

Sitting at the table before dinner, the conversation turned to tattoos…so the obligatory (sp) showing of the tattoos began. Out goes the left forarm…and for the first time out in the general public….someone recognized the Dark Mark! *laughs*  (That would be Steve from pink dress fame *laughs*)

Me and Mum shared at table with Steve & Kathy, and John & Sheri…there was only one seat left…which is the one that Ryan kept coming and sitting in off and on. Which did actually happen to be by me…And the first time he came over was right after I had been kind of looking over to where he was…But I really don’t know if any of it has any kind of connection what-so-ever. *shrugs*  Not that it really matters, I’m sure.

I think that’s about everything…other than the (tiny bit late as it’s getting close to tomarrow already)…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYA!!!!

So yeah…that’s things…I think…or suppose…or something…*laughs*
