Keep u YOU

paid a visit to martha's vineyard (aka MV or the V) with a group of friends...

some highlights:

*headed to the V with pain meds, antibiotics, and nasal spray- this should be interesting

*the group dynamics could not be more appropriate or shall I say inappropriate?

*the V: after vegas and miami...and DR, we were under the impression that MV was going to be a boisterous party. We brought enough food to generously feed a family of 10 for two weeks and definitely stuck out like Alfalfa's cow lick. Little did we know that the V is a quiet island for family activities. An island in which residents offer friendly greetings to complete strangers, a late night closing for a bar is 1:30am (original pic attached) and the youngsters walk around publicly voicing their drug testing concerns.

*This is what happens when 7 strangers stop being nice, have a lot of food, alcohol, time & curiosity and start being real.
-We made the ferry therefore avoided spending friday night in the car-Thanx Gabe
-sessy dance was conceived and adopted-Me+6 :)
-i learned i can take more verbal and emotional abuse than i thought/ever wanted -as
long as its coming from friends. LOL Thanx Damien
-SHOTS!- Fig
-my eyes were not ready for that- oh Nat...
-that was just disrespectful!- Aims
-your indifferent aka icebox where your heart used to be-Crack

*I was proudly the most sober person of the group (for I was on medication) but definitely enjoyed several meals (lobster was amazing), the beach, wonderful conversations and literally ONGOING laughter.

Point?: Being loopy off of vicodin housed in a two story 8 bedroom, 3 bath beach house, with 6 people, and absolutely no censorship was exactly what I needed! After 2 bedridden days, a molar extraction and being completely wiped out by my allergies, random borderline wreck less behavior was highly overdue. Productivity at work is 99% (-1% for this blog entry), makes me happy.

* unavoidable serious tangent:

~I did LEARN a lot. Its fabulous to learn about yourself through other's experiences and words. Its also amazing to know what people are REALLY thinking. Fanballs has always said that the superpower she'd want was the ability to read minds, after listening to people's thoughts, I could not agree more.

~This I will reveal: My earlier entry about MISinterpretations was not only confirmed, but displayed in a new light. AMAZING/ highly enraging. I am thankful for the way I am. Being truthful has never been so liberating, some people should try it.

Recommendation: Mental health is contingent upon "breaks from reality," so I URGE you take as many vacations/spa days/personal days/ daydreams/toilet breaks (u get the point) as it takes to keep u YOU. I definitely felt more like myself than I have in a long time.

Still Laughing
