10 couple dances.
10 couple dances IN A ROW.
This is not acceptable. Amanda, Emily, and I went line dancing at the Grad on Thursday, and I was so excited to be getting out. However, in addition to there being a crack ton of people there, they played 10 couple dances in a row. I think I danced to maybe 5 songs in the 2 or 3 hours we were there. Seriously girl dj? Ihateyou. After complaining through a good 8 songs, we decided that if the next song was a slow one, we would peace out. Guess what. It was in fact.
I want my $5 back.
On Friday, Chrissy turned 21. Yay! She’s the baby in the group, and this was exciting. Julie, Val, and Helen all came into town and we partied it up. Now, I am not a fan of the bars. I don’t know why . . . I used to love them. But when I think about them slash when I’m there, I get this really back anxiety. I wish I knew where it came from. Anyway, I had not been to the bars in the last time I went with Allie and Rachel like last April or May. It was a blast though. We all dressed up, and Amanda came too. Good music too . . . Push It and Jump On It were both played . . . so great. It was nice to get out with all my old friends, but Amanda and I definitely left at 12. It was raining and honestly, nothing sounded better than my bed.
Saturday was a fun day, and I felt really good about what I did. One of my fellow Promise Fellows works for United Cerebral Palsy. So Amanda, Heather, and I volunteered to help with the outing to the Morro Bay Aquarium and Round Table. All the kids that were there have some sort of developmental problem, so it’s something completely different then what I usually do. I like working with this group though . . . it feels really fulfilling. Also, whenever people come visit now, WE ARE GOING TO THE AQUARIUM. It’s super small and a short journey, but you can feed sea lions and harbor seals and it’s all native California fish. It’s so small town and so classic Morro Bay. That night I went to the movies with my friend James. It was maybe a date . . . he had asked me out before by asking if I wanted to watch a movie, and I had said no because I was going to bed that night. For future reference, that, to me, is not asking me out. Haha. Taking me to a movie and buying my ticket and telling me I look nice is more of what I picture. We saw “Defiance,” which I really liked. The premise is that Daniel Craig rounds up fellow Jews escaping from the Germans and they live in the woods to avoid concentration camps and ghettos. It was really well done and I definitely recommend it. It was fun hanging out with James. I’ve been so hung up on John and the whole situation that it was definitely different . . . but good different. I’ve pretty much given up on the John thing. I threw it out there, and he never gave me an answer and is now acting like a horrible friend. Forget dating . . . friendship is on the line here. But whatever . . . I need to let it go.
Sunday was a Target trip (loveit) and “He’s Just Not That Into You” with Amanda. I loved the movie. There were numerous times while I was watching that I thought to myself “Oh my god I do that.” The whole thing just made sense . . . which probably sounds super cheesy, but it definitely made me think. After that, I dropped by Legends, the bar in MB where James works. We had a little visit before I went and dropped $93 on groceries. I joined Weight Watchers last week, and I was stocking up. I’m really excited about it . . . I’m confident that it will make a difference. I like having a guide, something to look at and gauge how much of something I can eat. I get weighed about at a meeting tomorrow, so I’ll get to see how the first week went. Exciting!
Wow . . . I basically just wrote a novel. I’m still suffering from a cold, so have been pretty useless today. However, I’m putting updating the blog in the “Win” column for the day. Love you all!
