Yes, I am so bad at updating anymore. But then again, I don't really know who reads this besides Lisa, Liz and myself. No one else probably really cares. Anywho...where to begin?
Lisa and I went out on Saturday (the 19th). It was a girl's night. We had a blast! We were a little worried at first since we saw girls walking towards the door in like turtlenecks! We were afraid of freezing but we didn't really have to wait long at all. We saw Steve and his friend Ed. Steve talked to us and asked if we were coming out on Wednesday. He also gave us some info on New Year's. Yay Steve! And we actually danced! I don't think we've danced since the birthday party. There were these guys on the dance floor doing silly dances so of course I had to do it too. We also met "Corey" who I like to call MC Hammer. He's one of those guys that's always there with "Prince" in the silky suits. He was dancing by us and was all "Go white girl! Go white girl!" It was funny. But when he decided to dance behind me, I suddenly felt the need to grab Lisa's ass...no! I mean I grabbed her camera out of her ass pocket and took a picture of her. It was a great excuse to get away from him. Ta-da! So this evening just got us pumped up for Thanksgiving Eve.
On Tuesday Rob called me to figure out our plans for Wednesday. (History lesson: Rob helped me survive CS 110 at BSU with the world's most ancient Computer Science professor. He is my hero. He also used to live in my dorm...well the boy's half anyway. He lived with a guy named Nate...no, not THAT Nate. When he moved out of 431 to become an RA, a guy named Kyle moved in...yes THAT Kyle. And now back to our story) So I was going to have dinner with my old friend Rob from college. After much discussion, we decided the most convenient place to meet would be Valpo. The place was to be decided after research on Valpo eateries. So yay! I was tremendously excited at this point! Dinner with Rob and then partying with Lisa on one of the biggest party nights of the year! (Especially since we missed it last year due to snow...)
Well, I had been monitoring the weather like it was my job all week. Guess I didn't do a good enough job... Wednesday I woke up late, looked out the window and yelled "OH CRAP!" Somehow it snowed overnight and was still going! I was freaked because I had a flashback of last year and saw all my plans crashing down around me. So I went to school and hoped all day that it would stop. I even sent Lisa a text message on my forbidden cell phone during lunch checking on the weather out west. It had stopped and was melting which pleased me to no end. I was getting more and more excited throughout the day.
So I went home and planned it all out so I would have enough time to take a nap and then get ready to meet Rob. So I'm all snuggled in my bed sleeping and some loud noise woke me up. At least I think so. It's one of those things where you think a noise woke you up...or was it the dream you were having? You don't know but your heart is pounding all crazy and you can't get back to sleep. So then my phone starts playing 867-5309 and I know it's someone that doesn't call me often because they don't have their own ringtone. It was Rob! So the conversation started out not so good. He told me that he had bad news and wasn't going to be able to make it. I was so disappointed but I had to be understanding. Apparently they got a lot more snow over where he was, something like 4-6 and the roads were bad. So we chatted for a little bit and all of the sudden he decided to check and see how the weather was. He was going to call me back and let me know if he could indeed make it. So I went off to take a shower.
Now when I was just getting out of the shower (Yes Rob, you called me and I was naked! Didn't think that was a dinner conversation piece.) Rob called back and said he could make it. So I started getting ready and grossly misjudged my time and how fast he must drive because he called at 7:10 and he was already in Valpo. Okay in his defense I was running late as usual but I didn't think he'd be that early! So I rushed out the door to meet him. I got there and the place was packed to the rafters! He is such a cutie! I wish that he didn't live so far away because he would be so fun to hang out with all the time. We talked for like 2 1/2 hours. Our waitress even went home! We talked about all kinds of things like his job, my job, people we knew and what happened to them, stuff like that. It was great catching up with him. And he paid for my dinner so he kicks ass in my book! (THANK YOU ROB! You're awesome!) So unfortunately, my "date" with my old friend had to come to an end. I thought about asking him to come out with us but I thought it might be too much since he had SO far to drive home.
After I left Applebee's, I had a restroom emergency. I really had to pee and I didn't want to go at dinner so on my way to Lisa's I tried to stop at BK but the doors were freaking locked! So I had to go across to the gas station. You should be worried if a bathroom has a sign that says "If you sprinkle a little tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie." Well the person before me wasn't a sweetie if you know what I mean. GROSS! So then I was on my way to Lisa's. Josh and Nick decided to drink early and sober up at the bar so Lisa and I could be unsober on the way home. Works for me. So we get to the bar and the line was so freaking long I wanted to cry. We had to wait in the cold...for 45 minutes...with no coats. At least Josh was a gentleman and let Lisa and I huddle in his coat. Then we were only semi-hyperthermic. While we were out there, we saw Steve walking around. We *thought* about calling to him but we didn't because we AREN'T bold girls, as we all know. Well we found out later that we should have. He could have gotten us in fast and for free with his VIP card. Damn it!
Once we finally got in, Lisa and I headed for the alcohol. One Red Headed Slut and a Long Island later, we were ready to party. EVERYONE was out (except for Rob who I didn't invite...sorry again!) It was so awesome! Steve kept coming by and talking to us. Unfortunately he was there with Josh the CW. He totally checked out my ass and groped it. Niiiiiiiiice. And he has a gf but that didn't stop him. Ugh. Then Steve's friend Ed wanted an intro but thankfully Steve said he had already done that. Yay! Lisa and I were feeling a little twirly and so the funny comments came out. It didn't seem like the alcohol was really affecting us but then again, everyone seemed to be moving rather quickly. Lisa goes "There are a lot of cheetahs here tonight. Rowr!" That cracked me up. A little later, they had on the "strippers going into the light" screensaver that we all love. (JK) So I start dancing and I go "Look at me! I'm like the strippers! Oh no wait, I need THO for that. Talk to me when I'm outside!" Oh the things that Long Islands make me say! Later on, Lisa and I went to dance. I had an unwanted dance partner named Dave. He seemed to think that I wanted him to grab my waist and thighs and grind into his crotch. All I have to say is "So don't pull on my hand boy. You ain't my man boy. I'm just tryna dance boy and move my hump." So despite that, Wednesday was rocking!
I decided to go home after our failed attempt to get Arby's. It was starting to snow and I didn't want to deal with it if it got bad. So I went home to bed and then got up for Thanksgiving lunch. It just wasn't the same but I dealt with it. This entry is a year long so I'll end it now but I need to write another one about my depressing convo with Jules tonight. Bah.
