The Arrival of the BFF and Minda

Brett and I have two sassy little friends coming into town this weekend and although I plan to keep it relaxed and calm, ultimately when we hang out with these two things get crazy. Last time we were together was the “random guy I don’t know your name in Berlin” night.

Adam, Mindy, Brett and I all worked together for years in college. We spent our time in the summer working during the day and then going out at night. Like most of us in the position at the time, we got past the “I work with you to much, so I don’t want to see you socially” concept and moved full force into “Let’s spend all of our time together” line of thinking. The summer after my junior year, my entire senior year and the summer after my senior year of college is filled with crazy memories of these guys.

Adam, better known as the BFF, is a charmer from the beginning. Regaling us with stories from Harvard, Illinois, you cannot help but fall in love with his easy smile and capacity to care. He really is the nicest of the bunch but that does not make him lack for a good time. When you get him drinking he really gets going. We became “BFF”s when he said (in an incredible drunken slur) one night, “that was funny, I think we should be BFFs”. We had barely spoken 10 words to each other, but from there on out we had the BFF bond. When he came to visit us that last time he said to a bartender at some bar in boystown “I’d like a dirty martini please…extra dirty” apparently said in a very “sexy” and “seductive” voice…well what he thought to be so in a that state of inebriation. He is such a great time; those of you that will not meet him should be severely disappointed.

Mindy (or Minda as we like to call her) is the craziest sorority girl you could ever meet. She is everything you might think a sororitude to be…but in such a good way. Not only is she brilliant, she is fun, blond, and loves to drink. Mindy can always be counted on for a good time…even if she isn’t up to it-if someone needs to get drunk-Mindy will take one for the team and go out! My craziest times senior year involved Minda. We constantly went out and I do believe that she is the demise of my GPA my last year in college. She loves everything fun and alcoholic but whether she is in “party girl” mode or not, she is lovely and kind.

This weekend looks to be trouble. I don’t like anticipating it for fear of ruining the spontaneity. Tomorrow is Anne’s “Wasted Debauchery Part Four” party and we will all be attending. The theme of the party is to incorporate “Four” into your wardrobe. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! Here’s to good times for all!
