The "Shower"

So yesterday was one of my very good friend's bridal showers. It had a very clean theme of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Tiffany Blue and diamonds were everywhere. It was really nice, Adrienne and Porcha did an awesome job.  Everyone looked so mice in their black dresses.
            Then the craziness started to happen. Adrienne asked us to share our happiest memory of Shenika. Adrienne went first and of course here come the damn tears. NOW... If you know me, you know I'm not a cry er. I have to be almost on fire mad before I even start thinking about shedding a tear. I couldn't help myself. It brought me back to my college days. That was my comfort zone. I had my friends and it was certain what I would be doing on any give day. I would be making dinner one day, I would go out with Adge and Shenika and we would have fun. We would spend hours in the mirror getting dress and putting on make up. Watching our reality shows such as "Flavor of Love." What happen to those days and where have they gone. I honestly miss them.
           Yeah, sure everything wasn't always peachy, but I would have done any and everything for them. There are always moments you wish you had a delete button for.  I also realized last night that not every two share the same memory the same. There is really something to be said about a persons perception and their reality. Something that may have been significant to me, may just be a sliver of a memory for someone else. I was unaware of a lot of things. Its true, though, there are always 3 sides to every story.

    But here were are, at this shower sharing our memories, as i re live my past. It was almost as if it was 2006 again. Sitting around a room with friend, reminiscing on our shared history between 2003 and 2007. I felt as though we were back in Mississippi Hall, goofing off. We pick up almost like we had never left. I learned a lot in those 4 years. I grew up. I never thought that I would miss those years, but I do. I do wish I could shape it the way I want to, I would like to delete a few bad people and some bad days.
     We then began to play games. The first was a scramble game. Jessica took the lead with that one. Who knew my brain would stop functioning when trying to unscramble there "wedding" words. Then there was the purse game. We grouped up with our tables, and of course being the throw everything but the kitchen sink in my purse type of girl I am, we won. It wasn't even me that made us win. I just had random shit in my purse. Then came the "How well do you know Shenika?" game. I wasn't sure how I would fair on this game. Yes, I spent practically an entire 4 years with this girl, but you never know everything, just like this game  showed. I lost. I was pretty shocked. lol I swear she said Purple was her favorite color, but haha joke on me I guess not.

How well do you really know your friends.... ha ha

I'm glad I decided to go, even though I knew I needed to be sitting down writing my 2 fifteen page papers that were due...
