I have the funniest story ever!!! Last night, Cindy, Caroline, Ashley and I decided that we wanted to go out dancing. We picked a couple clubs/martini bars to go to, got all gussied up (Cindy at one point referred to me as "a harlot from the 40s"), and headed out. The Roxbury was a bomb because there were like only 6 cars at it. Then we drove out to 150th and Maple to a martini bar which there were only older people drinking at. So we decided that we were going to go to Club Maxx, which is the largest club in Omaha but also a gay club. So we were walking out of the martini bar and there were like 2 or 3 guys coming in right then. They were like, "hey, don't leave ... we just got here" and Caroline says, "we're going someplace with a dance floor" and we continue walking out to my car. Then we get in and I'm backing out and Caroline yells from the back "they're coming back out to get us" in this freaked out voice. So I start freaking out and try to drive away and I just about floor the gas pedal, the engine revs and we go nowhere. I look down and yell, "It's in neutral!!"" at the top of my lungs. I can laugh about it now but Caroline freaking out made me freak out and then I felt really stupid because we drove away from cute guys!! Stupid, stupid!! Cindy was cracking up because I was so freaked when in fact, the guy was just standing next to my window and trying to say something. Not that we wanted to pick up guys but we did want to meet some new people and have fun. Instead, I drove away and we ended up at Club Maxx and then went to Ameristar, where Ashley won $18. I spent $5 total on my night so it was pretty good. Although hilarous and embarrassing at the same time. Oh yeah, and we drove through Taco Bell right before I dropped everyone off. I was soooo hungry. I'm going to be fat next year, yuck! Anyways, tomorrow is TCX, hurrah!! I'm realy excited about everything. Seeing everyone, including Jill and everyone from France. It should be a hoot and holler! Although we are stuck staying at the Doubletree instead of the Hilton because there were too many people that signed up. Whoops. That's a good reason, though. I'm excited for party time ... aka, New Year's Eve! It should be a blast. Things I am also looking forward to: a) playing Nerts and/or Spoons; b) talking to mes amis francais; c) hanging out with all my iowa state crew; d) making fun of TP with her pager; e) sharing a room with Dana; and f) being in Minneapolis for New Years!! :D I'm excited about the New Year, new semester and everything else. I have some resolutions culminating in my head but I have yet to pen them all yet. I am excited, as usual, about the opportunity to turn a corner in my life and do some things that I haven't yet. Maybe I will make a resolution to do something that I have avoided doing at least once a month. Maybe something daring and fun. We will see. I'm just stoked for the new year in general. I wonder what 2006 holds for me. So that's my life in a nutshell right now. Embarassing and hilarous and exciting as usual but real life, none the less. you know you love me ;)
