good ol' redneck fun

ok, tonite actually wasn't as boring as i expected. we had a rather impromptu goodbye party for S. (aforementioned housemate). we made our own tacos with a smattering of scary leftovers and fresh ingredients. think black enchilada meat and fuzzy sour cream. the rest was good though!

then we started a bonfire. now, mind you, out west we have "burn season" and "non-burn season". burn season means things don't burn easily. non-burn season means that things burn readily and nature doesn't need our help in starting any new fires. this time of year is NON-BURN season. we burned anyways. well, we personally weren't on fire, but we definitely started one. we extinguished the *ahem* less-than-desirable portion of the fire with ease, and proceeded to enjoy the evening. we put bets on whether the legs or the center of the flame-engulfed picnic table would collapse first. we played flaming teeter-totter on one of the boards. we had "jumping-over" contests, if you get my drift--there are only winners in that game, you know, not a lot of room for error. fun, fun.

we fought over/played the guitar around the campfire (if such an eyebrow-scorcher still falls in the "campfire" category). we banned kum-by-ah from the event. then we made milkshakes. one part ice cream, one part milk, one part whipped cream. oooh baby.

now i have to wake up in 6 hours. hasta la vista.
