When I texted you Friday night it was only half way through the evening, otherwise I would have had even more to say about the night and how great it was.
A group of friends (15 or so) surprised me with a party downtown. Started with drinks and then a comedy skit show. One member of our group even got recruited to go on stage, which was great because he was actually a friend of a friend and easily the most reserved of the bunch. We thought he was going to be irritated about it but he ended up having a great time.
After the show we decided to hit a club. I had a really nice, new, high-end place in mind but one of the group pointed out that his friend was spinning at another place on the way to my suggestion. We had been there a week earlier and he did a great job, plus the place was perfect for the group we had going, so I was totally on board for that again. The friend called ahead and the DJ sent someone down to comp the entire group. We went upstairs and ended up on an outdoor terrace with the entire "VIP" area surrounding the DJ to ourselves. At this point I decided that champagne was in order. I tried to order a few bottles without everyone knowing so that I could pay for it but as soon as my friends found out they said they were having none of that. So 6 bottles of my favorite champagne rolled out to the group and I suddenly realized... Here I am, surrounded by a huge group of friends, all about to toast me and our friendship on a rooftop terrace under the stars. Life is good, the job is good, home is good, I'm happy and have (almost) everything I had before. In that moment, with my flute raised, looking at all the smiles around me I realized that it truly has come full circle... almost. :)
We had a fantastic time. The DJ spun us a great set. We drank, danced, laughed, hugged and everyone went home with huge smiles on their faces. And for me it meant even more (which I tried to convey in my toast to all of them), but I think only you and Ang could possibly relate to the impact the moment had on me.
It was easily the best night I've had since I moved here and one of the best of my life.
Still not in the top 3 though.
Almost. :)
Frou Frou - It's Good to be in Love
I don't know where to start
Say I’m tired or throw a party
These cucumber eyes are lying the more that I smile about it.
And all of my clothes feel like somebody's old throwaways
I don't like it.
It's good to be in love.
It really does suit you... just like everything.
I'm happy you're in love, 'cause every color goes where you do.
I'm adoring you.
It's all good.
You're so beautiful.
I'm black and blue all over.
You're breaking my flow, how could you know what I'm saying about it?
When all of my clothes feel like somebody's old throwaways.
I don't like it
It's good to be in love.
It really does suit you... just like everything.
I'm happy you're in love, 'cause every color goes where you do.
I feel so powerless
I've got to stop it somehow
oh come on, what can I do?
Why's it happening?
How's it happening without me?
Why's it happening?
How's it happening that (s)he feels without me?
It's good to be in love.
It really does suit you... just like everything.
I'm happy you're in love, 'cause every color goes where you do.
