tequila

from sister
If you know us at all, you know we have a love of Tequila, which prompted many margarita nights at the joe4oil household.  We have tried to recreate them since, but have had no luck.  Margarita nights, it turns out, cannot be planned ahead- other wise you might be sitting outside of your place of work with your margarita in a coffee to go cup, feeling a little forced.

A few funny things happened on Margarita nights that I thought I would share.

First, and this folks is embarrassing.  There was this little mexican restaurant near where we used to live before joe4oil... you know in the house where we were abandoned?  It was the closest one I knew of to the joe4oil house so sometimes (like maybe 5 times in a year) I would go there.  My very first time, seriously a good 2 years ago, I went in and asked if they had margaritas. They said no, whatever I ordered a coke.
Last March, I literally walked into the place and they guy was like hey!  we have tequila now!  We can make you your margaritas!  Come dine in next time.
He seriously remembered that?  Sweet Jesus I think I may be an alcoholic.

My favorite Margarita night, though, was spawn at one of our famous "in poor taste" parties.  I will dedicate a whole blog to them, as the next one is coming up soon, but lets just give you a background.

The second in poor taste party happened in February, and it was themed "white kids throw a black history month party" so obviously, I went to iparty to get supplies... like a giant portrait of MLK, and an Obama window cling.  Then, theme or no theme, something caught my eye.  In the passover section there were these things called "plague masks" and like one was yellow and had big black bugs on it and it said "lice" one was green and had frog theme, pink one with red boils, you get the idea.  How could I not buy those?  They were the MOST fucked up child's lesson I ever saw.

So amazingly, no one took them, so they stayed in the log cabin of a house.  One night, during a margarita night, brother and I were doing the usual and having a dance party.  What is it weird to have Britney Spears dance parties in your living room as an adult with your brother?  and we decided the masks had to come out.  There is currently a photo album on my phone dedicated to that night.... but once the dance party resigned, brother ended up having a puppet show with finger puppet jesus on the floor.

I am going to have to stock up on tequila and the margarita requirements... this newest apartment is badly in need of a margarita night.  Maybe that will be my present to myself when I get my taxes back.
