Jul. 30th, 2010 03:55 pmLast night was such a good time! Alex was nice enough to invite me along with DJ and Chris to her family's beach house. The house is located at the Indiana Dunes, so we drove up there late yesterday afternoon. A few of Alex's other friends, her boyfriend, and her awesome mom, Tyra, were also there. It takes me a bit to feel comfortable around new people, but it's now gotten to a point where I've hung out with them a few times and I'm starting to feel more at ease around them. They're a bunch of fun and sweet people. The house was quite nice, too. It's kind of old, but light and beach-y. It's a large house, but it's split into a bunch of small rooms, so it still feels cozy. It's also not even a minute's walk from the actual beach. Shortly after we arrived, all of us went down to the beach and tried to watch the sunset. Sadly, it was a bit too cloudy for a really nice looking sunset, but the beach was still very relaxing. We returned to the house to grill some burgers and also brought out some booze. It was nice because we all had a bit, so we were relaxed and giggly, but no one drank to levels of stupidity. It was Alex's first time drinking, so she was a bit nervous, but she ended up being just fine. We also played a game of Circle of Death and Tyra even joined us (XD). It was all pretty amusing. We meant to turn in for the night afterwords, but half of us ended up staying up pretty late. DJ and I ended up giving advice to a few of the others because they're a couple years younger than us and we had already gone through some of the things they're currently going through. Oddly, enough the same half of the group that stayed up late was also awake surprisingly early the next morning. We spent time talking with Tyra, while we waited for everyone else to get up. Once they were awake, we all crowded in the adorable little kitchen while Tyra made us raspberry pancakes. DJ, Chris, and I had to leave shortly after that. The whole time just put me in a very good mood for today.
I'm going to go wake myself up a bit with a cup of tea. Though I'm not quite as tired as I would have thought with the lack of sleep I've had the past couple nights.
