Today is Sunday which means three things: I'm at FOCA, Craig is with me, and I'm exhausted from the previous night's dancing. Like the growing trend, these are all true today.
I went stompin' with Amber last night, but BEFORE that we went to Crush to visit Geoff. The lovely and humorous Eric was there along with (new Sneak?) Julie. Adam and Ellen showed up towards the end. Amber was persistant that she buy me a drink, but all Crush sells are beers and wine, so I had a beer for the very first time ever ever. It was a pale beer called Tucher. Not bad. It had an orange slice in it! But, it was the hugest beer!!! I did drink all of it and it put me in my happy place. We stuck around there until almost midnight, then we parted ways. I did get to see Adam do the white man's version of the "butterfly." He was trying to do the Charleston. Heh. Ellen did manage it quite well. She is such a cute pixie girl. Oh, and apparently Amber thinks I should date Eric's younger brother. Hmmm...
So we finally got to Eclipse and the crazy girl at the door actually charges us to get in. What!? The guys never make us pay. I must say that I was looking very, very "do-able" last night. Black lacy tank top, little denim skirt, red fishnets and my new "magic" boots. They are the best dancing boots in the world! The bottoms are kinda slick, so they move well on the dancefloor and they are so comfortable. I had my sexy rockstar hair (not the pomp, but the sideswept bangs and the ponytail) and my red eyeshadow. Add a cross necklace and a lot of chains. I'll be ressurecting that outfit when we take our band photos. I felt ever so pretty and desirable last night.
The dancing, ahh the dancing. Me and Amber lit it up. Well, Amber danced more than me, but for once I think my skills were up to par with hers. You know it has been a good night of stomping when you're legs and arms ache just a tiny bit the next day. It had to have been the boots. That and the confidence. During one song I went up on the main stage and was dancing by myself and God's honest truth there were people watching. And not watching and laughing or smirking, they were wactching appreciatively. Damn right. One of the guys who works there was apparently talking about me because as I was going out to the patio he said "there she is" and I went over to where he was standing with another guy. He said he thought I was a good dancer and her was glad that the stage was there so I could use it. I've talked to him the past few times we've gone to Eclipse. He normally works the door and he is very nice. I'll tell you though, being up on stage (but not under a light) is liberating. They've got mirrors in there too, which means if you're a narccisist like me you can watch yourself on the floor. Also great. I think I may be liking goth night... which is odd because I hated it at first. Time will tell on that one.
Boys named James like to hit on me. There were two of them last night! I think I may be going on a date with one of them. Maybe, I mean, I don't want to think of it as a date, so I s'pose I'm not going to. I'm still not ready to "date" anyone. Not now. Not this time of year, at least not this October. Too many memories of what was and will never be again. I'll not have Halloween ruined twice. Besides, I don't want to tie myself down to one person. Not yet anyway. Can you have a boyfriend and have it be an open relationship? Oy!
Amber says we are soulmates! Hee, she was too adorable last night. Too bad she was wearing a stupid hoodie all night over her outfit! She says she's chubby. I think she's curvy and cute. I was getting way too protective last night when a friend of hers came around. I didn't like that girl very much. I like Geoff better. Stick with Geoff! His new haircut, by the way, looks very nice. Anyway, about the soulmates thing, she showed me her favorite constellation last night, which is Orion. Orion is also my favorite constellation. I told her that when I was little I used to say I was going to marry him. She used to say the same thing! She even wrote a story about it! How awsome is that!? So we had a moment looking at Orion together. If only she were "Josh" it would have been perfect. Well, she is my Josh, but not in the physical sense. Why does the person I love have to be in a body that I'm not attracted to? Not that Amber isn't beautiful, but if she were a boy... oh well. We're better friends anyway. This way I can wear her clothes.
So anywho, the night went well, and I was very much wide awake for the drive home. Amber kept my new dance CD (titled "Quagmire: Dance Mixx") yes, two Xs. I'll burn another later.
I'm skipping Thee Imperial tomorrow night so I can be rested for Tuesday. I'll probably stay in tonight too so I can work on my exam review and my speech. Ick.
I still need to discuss the apartment with Laura and it is time to start getting rid of stuff that I don't need anymore. That is not going to be fun. I am a pack rat and I keep absolutely everything. Anything with the tiniest bit of sentimental value gets hoarded away. Not good! I need to de-clutter. I don't need my old Rainbow decorations anymore and why the hell am I keeping a package of napkins from when I was WA in 1998? I mean, keep a few in my scrapbook, but I've got around 100 of the things. Why? The limbo stick stays, but old streamers and candles and hand pieces? Those need to go to other homes. I also need to turn that box of shirts into a quilt like I've been planning. Maybe I will. After October though, I can't deal with another project now.
Holy crap, this is obscenely long.
Time to go.
