Wienie Roast

Sometimes My brothers have a birthday but they don't want a party.

But i want them to have a party.

So after hearing about wienie roasts HERE on the Art of manliness website.

By the way, if you haven't been on that website, take a minute or sixty to read a few articles. I agree with 98% of the things there. read it. love it. apply it. 

anyway...

We decided to have a birthday weinie roast on the condition that i wouldnt tell people it was their birthday and i wouldn't bring out a suprise cake. whatever.

I thought it went pretty well! minus that awkward group of lames who showed up just to sit in the corner, ignore everyone and complain about how small the fire was. i didn't invite them, that's all i'm saying.

So apparently, roasting Starbursts is a thing. I didn't believe my friend Zach when he told me about it, but uhmm, it's flipping the best thing on the planet!! seriously though, it's totally worth the like 2 and a half minutes it takes to get it just right. YUM.

a small group of us were cool enough to play no bears are out tonight. a family game that is like a crazier, WAY more intense game of tag. times a thousand. but apparently being chased in a dark vineyard is not "fun" for some people. whatever, losers!! HATE ON IT.

after the gaggle of awkward girls left (while still complaining. oh please. NO ONE INVITED YOU, GET OUT OF HERE! stupid people should get beat up by Albus Dumbledore once or twice, then they would never murmur again.)

anyway, after they who shall not be named gratefully scurried off, the party got super fun for me. and more people came. and everyone was talking and laughing and that makes me happy - when people laugh. and then my dad decided it was high time for a spiritual story. in the middle of that wienie roast. my dad likes to make everything serious. which is cool, he's a cool guy. and the story was actually pretty cool, because even though I've heard it several times before, it's not one he usually tells.

and i don't think anyone else thought it was weird, so 10 points for Gryffindor. good job Professor Hansen.

So the night was spent laughing and roasting and talking and creeping and excitedly jabbering about the Olympics and about how my friend should marry your cousin and things like that. taha.

all in all, it was great times. 

oh yeah, and shout out to Bret and Ryan. You would have had a real cute picture up on here! but it whas super blurry and made y'alls hair look like simba. which maybe was not a bad thing? but anyway, i  deleted it. but hey, thanks for comin' and roasting some wenies. 

we bought 134 wienies which means we still have like 70 in our fridge. yay?...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Derek and Jonathan!
I should have taken a picture of y'all with the fire! what the heck was i thinking?? flip.

next stop: ranting post about Brandon leaving me for college!
