Roxie Beane: The Person

Your average cubicle dweller by day. Sarcastic and pigeon-toed. Often overly precise about the tiniest details - I exhaust myself. The ultimate Donna Summer fanatic. I love to laugh at things... silly things. I'm a grouch. Music makes and breaks me. For me, the world wide web is endless jubilee! Welcome to my blog. I'm Roxie Beane.

Six Flags and RockBand Eve

There's something really satisfying about having a really engaged weekend. Having the time off to simply relax is nice enough, but returning to work knowing that your days were filled with activities and well spent...

This past Saturday (the 18th) Ashley, Myself, and 6 other friends went to Six Flags: Great America. We only payed $15 to go and had the best possible weather. The park wasn't packed at all, because it's only April. We rode hard and often.

Upon our return to Milwaukee, we immediately embarked upon an amazing RockBand party, with over 15 friends & friends of friends attending (including the Six Flags gang). Did I mention there was a dog there? Yeah... a pit bull, actually. Hi Tommy. =)

We had numerous diverse personalities, plenty of food (taco night!), plenty of tunes, plenty of booze. Chairs seemed to be the only thing... we didn't have plenty of, lol. (Thanks Target for the $9.99 last minute blue lawn chairs!)

It was just... an amazing time. I just remember looking around thinking "omg, there's a party going on... and it's at my house!"

We stayed up to nearly 3am. What's interesting to me is that the folks who remained til the end of the night, consisted mostly of the individuals who were up with us at 8:30am for our Six Flags adventure. Soldiers!

Staying up and being with friends for nearly 20 hours straight never felt so good.
