Laser Tag, Kleptos, and Butterballs.

So I know it's been a few days since my first post, but I decided to wait until I had adequate content to share in this second post of mine. I do have to live up to my claims in my introduction post to you all.

We'll begin with Friday: I had the day off, and thought I'd get some work done on a wedding invitation I am currently working on, as well design a header for this lovely new blog of mine. So it's safe to say I got into one of my design zones. However, I snapped out of this zone to my roommate Becca charging up the stairs to our apartment shouting, "ROOMMATE MEETING!! MELISSA GET OUT HERE!" At this point panic takes over me and I dart to the dining room where Becca had already gathered Tom. I try to think of what this could be about...did I do something wrong? Were we robbed? I had no clue what to expect as I waited in anticipation while Becca caught her breath. Once she finally gathered her self, she presented a genius plan to us: Trek to Buffalo, to play laser tag...us (the Rochester team) against her girlfriend's team (the Buffalo team). After I recovered from the slight heart attack she gave me before presenting this plan to us, I quickly agreed that it was a great idea! Unfortunately Tom could not attend, which was sad since laser tag is right up his ally and he'd most likely be our MVP on the team. ( I gather this theory from his excessive video game playing, regular attendance to Yoga class, and his ninja Ultimate Frisbee moves.) But we didn't let his absence stop us. So after Becca was prepped and ready in her black spandex on underneath her street clothes), her, Kelan and I made the trip to Buffalo, in hopes to dominate the Buffalo team and send em home crying to their mamas.

goofs.

something you all should learn quickly, I'm obsessed with skies.

 But first, we ate dinner with them. Okay okay, I know we shouldn't dine with the enemy before such a treacherous battle, but I guess we were doing the "keeping the enemies closer" deal. So after scarfing down a delicious burger and seasoned waffle fries, I was ready to do this. However, being the poor person that I am, I decide to ask how much this laser tag session was going to be. To which I learn, it is SIXTEEN DOLLARS for a half an hour of laser tag. I know right?! I hope everyone reading this realizes that that is a ridiculous price to pay to shoot lasers at each other and possibly some annoying kids for only 30 minutes. So as you can imagine, everyone besides 2 people (Becca and her girlfriend, Alison) had to awkwardly back out. Making our trip to Buffalo not nearly as epic as we expected. However, when I find myself making more money someday, I do want to play laser tag in Buffalo, because after backing out we learned that there is a bar at the place, which I find to be pretty genius. Playing laser tag with a buzz...officially on my Bucket List.

And we move on to Saturday: This was a very exciting day that I had been anticipating since Thursday, because one of my besties from my Oswego years, Kate, was coming to visit me for the night! I hadn't seen this girl since....September? Sure. Either way, it had been forever and a day since I had last seen this girl and I was ecstatic that she was visiting. Upon her arrival, we immediately got to catching each other up on our lives, you know, typical girl talk. We then had a few drinks with the roomies, and headed out to a bar for a friend's "new job/goodbye to old job" party in legit...the middle of no where. This detail soon contributed to our growing urge to take random shit from this place. It all started with a "Happy Birthday Casey" sign. Becca and I had our eyes set on it, and Kate, our star kleptomaniac of the night, finished the deed and took down the banner in three stealthy moves. Now as you can probably imagine, we did not stop there. To make a long story short, our total inventory from this nowhere bar was: The "Happy Birthday Casey Banner", a 1/2 price appetizer sign, a sign that read "No unauthorized popping of the kernels of the corn" [great wording, eh?], Malt Vinegar, a set of Salt and Pepper shakers, A1 sauce, Hot Sauce, 3 ping pong balls, and here's the best one....a giant stick of butter that we dipped in the popcorn maker...in other words, a buttered popcorn ball. So I believe it's safe to say, we had a very successful, hilarious, Klepto night. My roommates and I soon learned that Kate fit in with us PERFECTLY! I had a blast having her visit me in Rochester, and can't wait until she returns!

great signage.

Pro Kleptomaniacs.

we may or may not have made this mess....

So I hope this gives you all a glimpse of what is to come in my future blog posts. Basically expect complete randomness.

Any proud klepto accomplishments you wanna share with me??
