Crown Hotel - Post Party

Filed under: Activities — by sackrosanct @

I wrote an entry detailing the post-Crown Hotel activities.  After re-reading it several times and trying to fix it to convey the true atmosphere and camaraderie of the evening, I simply couldn’t do it.   If I do ever refine my literary skills to the level of Last Comic Standing, I will give it another go.

So a simple summary of the evening.  Tesfaye, the guesthouse families and one of the other visitors at the guesthouse gathered in the common area of the guesthouse.  It started out as just reviewing/looking at the digital photos I had taken.  One of the reviewers, not to be named, spent an inordinately long time admiring a photo of himself and his very nice teeth.  That basically instigated some teasing/joking that just snowballed from there.  (You only tease the people you like, right?) 

I had trouble catching my breath a couple times and my bladder was pulsing so hard I was sure I was going to pee my pants.  Considering how much baby/toddler urine I’d had on me the previous 5 days, I figured no one would notice.  At one point, I could actually feel my abdominal muscles cramping from laughing so hard. Wow!  If that’s all I have to do to get 6-pack abs, I’ll sign up for the program!

The aforementioned guy is handsome, does have nice teeth and was an awfully good sport about everything!
