Anything that costs money that soon after Christmas is most likely going to be out for me. I'm up for a get-together, though.

I really suck around, like, actual people, but if you want to do one on a weekend in January, I might be game. I just won't be able to spend more than around 20 bucks on whatever we do.

Someone form out of state is by... but I'll only be here until Friday morning and I'm visiting family... oh well.

Stormy, I'm not inviting you to a sleepover here! I'm just talking maybe a few beers and/or whatever Chris thinks is fun (since sports are out, and so is anything pricey). Bowling maybe? A movie? Jai alai and the heck with what Chris likes? Howl at the Moon/Jellyrolls/Blazing Pianos? Karaoke? Improv?
Heck, for anything other than a theme park, I'll treat if that's the issue. (Though if we gamble, you're on your own.)
Does your schedule actually prevent you from being able to grab a meal or a movie or something?
If it'll help I'll get my Dad to write your parents a note.

Has Rakeesh seen this thread yet?

Things are in flux for me right now, Icarus. I'm going to be working two jobs as of the beginning of January. I won't know my schedule until then, but I'm going to reverse my earlier post and say that it does look I'll be able to do weekend evenings.
Have you ever played Settlers of Cataan or Starfarers of Cataan?

I could probably do something the weekend after New Years. Jai alai, movie, dinner, drinks, anythings fine by me. But don't anybody think their going to get lucky with me or anything.

Rakeesh has indeed seen this thread, and I bless it in the spirit of hedonism.
Oh, and Christmas
My weekend afternoon-to-god-awful-in-the-morning days are free, with a little notice (say a week), but I won't be able to swing anything like a day at a theme park. Expensive, that, and money's tight.
Fancying myself a fine card player after watching some World Poker Tour, I'm game for grabbing some drinks, perhaps, like we did last time I was there, and then some form of gambling. Poker night at someone's place, perhaps? Then again, a movie and late-night BS shooting at Denny's is also good fun.
So to put it plainly, with a little notice I could do something like meet somewhere Saturday night, as long as we like. Friday would be a little tougher, and I can't guarantee I'd be able to do anything before...let's say 11:00pm. (That's about when I could get to Orlando to do anything).

Please note that I don't have a problem with ritual sacrifice or casual sacrifice for that matter.
I think I could swing the Saturday, Jan. 3.
Crap, my wife just reminded me that she's going to a bridal shower that day. If it's in the afternoon, I think I could still do it, but we need to find out what time the shower is.
Joe, can you do Saturdays even after the holidays?

Sure. My schedule's pretty open, actually. I was just hoping to take advantage of the vacation time. But nights and weekends are fine the rest of the time as well.

^bump^ Come on guys, the Boulder people had fun. Anyone wanna try and organize this? We need to figure out a good date and some place to go/ things to do... If you all want, we can meet up at my place or something, and carpool to wherever. I know a couple good restaurants, but maybe someone who knows the area better can suggest something. Anyways, thought I'd try.
Oh, btw, I have board games, and if we have enough people, we could even do a big game of Cranium.

Not I, said the J4. Tuesday would be impossible, unless there's like a fire or something at both my jobs that I hear about hours in advance, heh.

I could maybe do something Tuesday after work. My days off are at an end. Which sucks since most of my "days off" were scheduled far in advance leaving me with no actual days to do nothing.
How about next Saturday (1/10)?

Unfortunately, Cor and I pretty much spent our entire vacations in the hospital, with Cor suffering from a series of "cluster migraines." More on this when I have more time. She's still suffering, and we go back to work tomorrow. Anyhow, Tuesday is definitely out. I won't know for a while when I'll have time again, but I expect it will not be a school night.

Monday I can do, but I guess thats short notice, and tuesday I can do before 6pm or after 9pm because of class. If we actually get the date and time set, anyone have any ideas on what to do?

Well, it's Monday, and I still haven't slept from Sunday night. So I'd say Monday's out, since I definitely have to stay up 'till like...3pm today.

One of the groups in my theater arts class did Barefoot in the Park as their final. The male lead was played by this guy I had a huge crush on at the time, and now I have a soft spot for that play.
Of course, he was far too busy being madly in love with the preacher's daughter to ever notice me. (He was a senior and I was a fish)
Over the summer we started bumping into each other pretty frequently at this park I enjoyed reading in and he enjoyed walking his mom's dog in. Actually conversing with him pretty much killed the attraction. He was hot. He was also totally not my type. And still madly in love with the preacher's daughter.
We stayed glancingly in touch when he went to college. My senior year, I took him to prom. Just so I could have a date with a junior in college. And so he could say he'd been, since he'd skipped his own when that girl wouldn't go with him.
I wonder what ever happened to him.
Don't you just love it when celia shares something personal? It's always so horribly off topic and never really gives you any insight. Posts: 3956 | Registered: Jun 2001

There was an all night party. I was hosting. I was far too busy playing hostess to have snuck off, even if I'd been interested.
There were some other complications. Like him spending a lot of the dance flirting with a bubbling blonde junior and most of the night smoking with my sister on the front porch talking about life. And me being a little interested in another guy I'd actually set up with one of my friends for that night rather than asking him, myself. (He was a bad idea. Too bad an idea to ever be worth finding out if the attraction was mutual) And that friend starting to see another guy about a week before, but still going to prom with that guy and bringing both of them to the party. And another girl being really flustered that her date had basically dropped her off and sped away because his parents were all freaky about curfew.
And a lot of twister.
And no one took pictures.
I did kiss him on the cheek and thank him for a lovely evening.
What an interesting mood I find myself in today.
