Of All The People I Could Have Seen

Sunday February 15th

Here's what went down. Most of you know that in past blogs i've talked about my friend Nick. The dude is like one of the most popular guys I know and has the social life I kind of always wanted. Plus, his girlfriend Emily is one of the most beautiful girls i've ever met, and she's a big flirt (not with me, but i'll explain why in a bit). Anyways, me and Nick barely have time to see one another anymore. He's got Emily and his Buddy Cale to keep him company, but from time to time it's nice to hang out and remember that he's got me around as well.

Well, on this past sunday my family had the privledge of going to Nick's mother's second wedding. Her first marriage ended a few years back and since then she's been dating this great guy named Jim. They finally tied the knot on sunday and I couldn't be happier for them. But for me, the wedding wasn't all that important. Sure, I love Kim, she's a great mom and she's done tons for me and Nick over the years. Seeing Nick again is what made the wedding what it was. We talked every few minutes, but we kept it short since he was in the wedding party and was with them most of the time. His friend Cale was there with his girlfriend, Nicole, and of course Emily was there for Nick. Now, I don't really know these people...like at all. I've met Cale a few times over the years, but Nick and him are much better friends than I've given them credit for. It kind of makes sense since they work together, go to school together and get shitfaced together. Yes, Nick drinks, and if the day ever comes that I stop being a pansy and decide to live, meaning drink, i'd probably have my first one when I'm chilling with Nick. Nothing against my other friends, but Giacomo and Felicia don't drink, Kristina...well I would, but I guess i'm more comfortable drinking with Nick. Anyways, me and my sister, Hilary were sitting at the teen tabe, consisting of Nick's friends, his younger sister Katie's boyfriend and two best friends, and some girls from his mom's work. Now, if you know me, i'm not much on conversation. Years of being a loner have made it hard for me to converse without trying to act like someone different. Hey, you gotta impress the people, and J-moose doesn't cut it with this crowd.

I get off topic very easily, don't I? I tried to converse with Nick's friends, but really I found myself being more indulged to talk with Emily. It's not that we spoke that much, but that girl is something different. She's like a Kristina mixed with a little bit with Felicia's kindness (Not saying that your not kind Kristina, but you know as well as I do, Felicia is something different), and then all of the party girls from my graduating class. So you can imagine what a girl like that is. This girl is an "Enabler". Enabler meaning, she drinks and wants others to drink with her. She got Katie's boyfriend, (two years younger then her) to have a few glasses of lord knows what, which in hindsight probably wasn't a good move, but hey, she's dating Nick so i'd expect nothing less. Every free moment Nick got to come to our table, she would offer him some of whatever she was drinking and then get more. Since she's underage till september, as were Nick, Cale and Nicole, I ended up being the one to get them drinks.

I'm 19 now, incase most of you don't know. Feb 6th for future reference. I probably got her and Nick a handful of drinks, but not that much. She knows how to pace herself, so she didn't get drunk or even giddy. Then again, i'm not around drunk people much, so I don't know what it would be like. At this point in the wedding reception, the music was blaring and people were staring to dance. As you all know, or maybe you don't, I'm single and damn proud of it, so of course I didn't have a date or anyone to dance with. Here's the kicker...to a girl like Emily, that's not an excuse. She dragged me off my seat and pulled me onto the dance floor. I was pretty sure that it might have been Nick who told her to do so, but then again, this girl isn't like most other people (In a good way that is. If you ever read this Nick, you know i'd never bad mouth her) so she might have done it of her own accord. Now, you might be asking, what about your sister J-moose? Well, unfortunately for Nick, he had the dishonour of dancing with her. I wanted to laugh at them, but since I was dancing with Emily, she made it a competition to prove we were better than them.

Now, by this point if you haven't gotten an image of what Emily is like, then I'd say your pretty stupid. If you have, then you'll assume she's one of those camera loving girls, who have to have photo with almost everyone. Well, much to my discontent, I actually got in on some of these..although they looked hideous..even she told me that in one of them I looked a little awkward. Not that it matters much to me.

All in all, I had fun..Probably the most i've had in some time, or at least since the last time I went out with Kristina and Eric...just seeing Kristina is one of the many highlights of my life.

Me and Nick both agreed to make a conscious effort to try and see one another a bit more, since we enjoy talking and playing guitar together (He does most the playing, while I attempt to sing) In fact, the last time we hung out we made a cd for Emily, something he did with a bunch of his friends, for their anniversary.

Anyways, it's late and i'm tired,

so farewell for now
