The Octagon Bar: Love is in the Air, Spilled Guinness Is on the Ground

[pax]

Give'r.

 

[ewen]

Pax, i'm fine - I was shaking my head at the Gerard Butler pictures and the like.

 

[nbcrusader]

*raises glass*

Cheers!

 

[U2democrat]

I knew you wouldn't be happy with those.

 

[wolfeden]

has anyone seen the puppies?

 

[pax]

Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

:: was totally stressed ::

 

[U2democrat]

hola, nb! glad to see you here.

my mom just asked me why i'm always in about mood.

gee, could it be because anytime i'm around her SHE DRIVES ME INSANE?!?!?!?!

 

[pax]

Oh my Bono, nbcrusader is in the Bar!

No politics allowed in here, old boy!

:: sends nbc a Guinness ::

 

[starsforu2]

*raises glass*

Cheers!

Cheers! Welcome home! Norm's over there!

 

[ewen]

:: Just three words, my love: you meant everything ::

 

[starsforu2]

has anyone seen the puppies?

Nope, but I saw what they left behind

 

[wolfeden]

*finds my beanbag*

*flops down in it*

spilt Guinness, that's alcohol abuse!

 

[pax]

Mmmmm, that song destroys me.

See, there's a story, though, which is why you really should listen from beginning to end...because it all makes sense.

 

[U2democrat]

tell my mother to go away, please. she may not realize it but i bite my tongue SO MUCH around her. it's unbelievable how much i hold back. she should be thankful that all she gets from me is a little tone and nothing more.

 

[pax]

Be good to your mama, Laura!

*hands Dem's mom a tall cocktail glass of something and smalltalks her off into the corner to get her off Dem's back for a bit*

I'm a parent, I'm learning this whole "schmooze other parents" thing, albeit slowly....

 

[ewen]

Mmmmm, that song destroys me.

there's a story to the one i'm making for you too. there's songs i want to put on it but they just don't 'fit' and it's driving me crazy. i can't get the sequencing right. first two songs are perfect and then it just seems messy. the songs are appropriate but just don't sound right after each other. i've also just realised that what i'm putting together - the compilation should maybe titled "songs to jump in front a train to"

 

[U2democrat]

she annoys me so much. the few times when she's out of town and it's just my dad and i i'm SO happy. i don't miss her one bit. when she comes back i'm so mad. even if we're away from each other for over a week, i still can't stand seeing her when we're "reunited." she's always acting like she's got a stick up her a**, meanwhile my dad is very laid back, like me. i can't stand being around uptight, anal people.

 

[pax]

I know EXACTLY what you mean...hence, why I was a total freak worrying that you hated it.

It's like, everything has to be totally right.

I can't remember one of the songs I put on yours and I've been trying to remember all afternoon...I'll have to look when I go home.

(30 minutes. Woohay, I'm giving notice tomorrow.)

You'll be amazed at how much your parents will grow up in the next 10 years. It's an incredible maturation process they go through when you're between the ages of 18 and 28

*waits for her mix from pax


I understand, dear, you were busy with other projects.


:sits down, orders cosmo:

So any plans for the hotel yet, Philly party people? I'm booking my flight this weekend.

 

[pax]

Something tells me that the first person who makes his or her hotel reservation gets to decide where everyone stays.

:: reserves Motel 6 ::

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Will you leave the light on?

the worrisome thing is, once you cross a later threshhold, they start regressing again!!!
my dad is acting like a freaking 22 year old deadbeat, he just turned 63 and half the time nobody even knows where he IS....

 

[pax]

Motel 6...that would be not only hot, but hella-classy.

 

[wolfeden]

Heh. From my own Philly experience -- the Comfort Inn is *crappy* and way overpriced for what you get. Avoid avoid avoid....

 

[pax]

Howsabout the Red Roof Inn? Probably a couple of us were conceived in one of those.

And I thought only boys were afraid to call girls in High School

You do know that Public Speaking is required for you to be President

Though some would say that it's not that important (before you zing our Prez )
