OOooooohhhh....I miss Harrah's (I come from a long line of gamblers and drunks...well...not really but let's just say the casino was definitely one of the first places my 93 year old grandmother wanted to visit when they came to visit me in New Orleans.) Yeah, I usually have more luck in casinos with slot machines than I do playing lottery or scratch off or bingo even. I won a good amount when I went on that cruise last year.
'twas fun. ^_^
We have a casino here on the Indian Reservation near Ft. Lauderdale, originally it was just the Micosukee (spelling?) Indian casino and hotel but now Hard Rock Cafe got in on the action and put up a casino and hotel that looks AWESOME. I've yet to go. But I've passed by it.
Eh...yeah...other than that...what do you want for me to do for your birthday? I know we're going to celebrate when you get here, but...
OooH! Should I say that I'll post at least the first chunk of Estranged for your birthday? Or something else?
And I must say, it's entirely thanks to your visit that I'm looking forward to the end of the month. *wishes she could just skip passed July 25-26 and head straight to going to pick up Sandy at the airport...*
Pfft. I come from a long line of gamblers, drunks, and smokers. I make no excuses for 'em and though I inherited a love of alcohol XD I draw the line at gambling my money and smoking (I'm no fun ;P).
But Matt wants to go "spin the wheel" so I figure I'll do this with him. I miss having him around on our birthday. He's been gone off to god-knows-where the last two or three.
I'm very protective of my money *stands imperiously in front of huge safe*
HARD ROCK CAFE *gleaming eyes* It is my mission in life to visit (and get a shirt from* every HRC in existance XD
You do not have to do anything for my b-day!!!
XD YES YES YES ESTRANGED!!!!!!!!!! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! *dances around singing, "I love the nightlife"* <--- I'll have to do that little jig for you at some point. Michelle DID choke she was laughing so hard at me when I did it for her.
GRRRRRRLLLL. I haven't decided what I'm going to wear yet (yes, I plan these things this far in advance) - the airport, but I was thinking of wearing my Archam Asylum Inmate shirt until I thought of Airport Security XD And then I remembered I'm going to work that day. I could just IMAGINE what my boss would think XD
Oh, don't worry. I'm very protective of my money too. My mom says I'm no fun, but what I do is I say, "okay, tonight I'm going to gamble $10 or $20" or whatever depending on my cash flow at the time and my gut-gambling-mojo-instinct. (One day at the casino on the ship, I said I'd only gamble $5...and that's all I gambled. I lost it in like 5 minutes, but then I was like, "Okay, time to go...no luck tonight..." and walked away) I think that's the key to gambling and coming out if not on top, then breaking even. So, if I win money, I always put some aside so that worse comes to worse, I don't leave with less than I went in and if I'm bored, I might just continue to gamble until the initial 10 or 20 or whatever is gone even if I win. If I win, I just keep playing, or, like the time I won the 150 on the slots on the cruise ship, I just walk away.
I don't smoke either! Yey. My parents used to smoke, but they've quit, and my mother is a "casual smoker" which means every so often she'll crave it and go onto the back porch to smoke a cigarette and have a glass of wine.
Hard Rock: Really??? Well, you know there's a Hard Rock Cafe, the restaurant/pub whatever here in Miami and there's one, really kick ass one, in Orlando. We can go to both! I love the food there. The one in Orlando looks like a Roman Colliseum...it's great.
We shall indeed get you a t-shirt! I did that for awhile, until I started wearing them all and then they got mucky and ugly. I had one from Mexico City, Acapulco, Cancun, Madrid (I wonder where that one is? It was a cool one, damnit...), Miami, Orlando (obviously), New Orleans, New York, um...I think I had one from Paris and Barcelona but I don't remember if I finally got the one from Barcelona. I don't remember going to the hard rock there, so maybe not. Oh, and I almost got one from San Francisco, but I decided against it last minute, though we ate there. We're so alike, it's freaky-cool!
I would LOVE to see your Archam Asylum shirt! I want one! I was supposed to go see Pirates 2 today, but it fell through...anyway, my plan was to wear my Pirate shirt that I got at Disney when I went in April just outside the ride. (I have a keychain of the cursed gold from the first movie...heee)
XD I'm only going to spin the wheel . . . and make sure Matt doesn't gamble too much. But yes, that's it exactly. I don't understand people who gamble like hundreds or thousands of dollars away during a losing streak. You'd think they'd stop when they realize they're not winning >-<
Yeah, I loves the HRC. It's the ambience, I think . . . and the fact that I'm such a hard rock FAN. Best HRC experience EVER was in Rome. We did the YMCA on top of the chairs and did the train all around the restaurant. It was insane kinda fun.
I have . . . . I want to say 5 HRC shirts? Something like that. I can't remember where all of them are from but I have one from Rome (of course), New Orleans (which is my favorite), Jamaica (which I didn't get cuz I never WENT to Jamaica - my parents did), Orlando (which is OLD), and Las Vegas (never went to Las Vegas either XD). I might have one or two more, I just can't remember at the moment ^_^
I'm telling you, we share a brain!
I'm bringing the Archam Asylum Athletic Dept. one ^____^
ACK! I WANT TO SEE DA JACK MAN! T_T I'm so going this weekend . . . or next week. I have a half day off, I can go to the matinee before my dentist appt!
OMG...the HRC in ROME! *drools* I'm soooo jealous. I went to Italy, but we did only the northern part of Italy (I think...) we did Venice and Milan and Verona we didn't get to go down there. My friend, lilac_rose24 lives in Vicenza (which is right next door to Venice) and I meant to go visit her last summer, but plans fell through. I planned on going to Rome and having her meet me there for a few days then go back to Vicenza with her. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for one reason or another and I didn't get to go.
*pout*
But whoa, I'd soooo have gone to the HRC in Rome!
And you've been to the one in Orlando? So you've seen how cool it looks!
I love the HRC atmosphere, you're right. The wait staff is soooo upbeat and just really enjoying themselves and everyone there is like, "yeah, we're just at a big party" all the time, it's great. It makes you feel really into it. One time I went to the one in New Orleans and the waiter kept trying to get me to try a Margarita thing while I'm sipping on my Daiquiri and I'm like, "Dude...I'm Cuban...I much prefer Rum to Tequila...so, leave me with my Daiquiri, please!" he just laughed.
So would you still want to get one from Orlando, since you already have one?
I'm supposed to see "Da Jack Man"...*giggle*...on Sunday now. We'll see.
*rofl* Well, you know, one of the fun parts about Speedy/Rae writing is that if Robin were to suddenly kiss her like that, in my verse, she would overthink it too much I think to let herself enjoy it. I just can't see Robin being so straight forward with his feelings...
...unless he were to be coaxed into it...
...like say, perhaps, by being jealous...
...jealous of Speedy maybe...
...hmmmmm.....
...sounds like something I might use in "Stupid Cupid" don't it?
'twas fun. ^_^
