Strange Trip

This weekend I went on a really fun trip to Seattle to visit my sis. My folks came out to celebrate my sister's b-day, so I decided to go out, too. But it was an overall strange weekend. I went to a party to meet my sister's coworkers and felt waaay out of place. That is, until people got pretty trashed. It was at the house of one of my sister's coworkers; she and her partner were ultracool and really nice. At one point, I realized what a strange turn the evening had taken when I had a pullup contest with them. I lost by one pull-up to this woman's partner...I think she stopped volitionally to save my pride. Like I said, they were super nice. She then proceeded to open a bottle of wine with her bare hands using only a unwound paperclip....I'm pretty sure I'll never see that again. Awesome.
Later that night, I went to a halloween party with a friend that moved out there. He dressed as an orkin man with two gallons of kamikaze in his sprayer. Needless to say, we were a hit (I was a hit only by association...and yes, I was wearing my coveralls). That party also ended strangely with a fight between a white trash prisoner and an airtraffic controller in the street. We decided to leave when an SPD squad car was called in. Mom woulda been pissed if she had to bail me out.
I spent the next day on the flight home with a rather rotund man with a sweating problem hanging 30% of his body into my seat. He was unfortunately a talker and I thus spent most of the flight feigning sleep...at least he kept me warm....and moist.
