as usual, new years didn't sweep us away to a party until 15 minutes before midnight, this time to a bar where Bre is over worked. it was an enjoyable time, though it became painfully clear that i need a female companion. if there are three guys and me, i hardly ever get to speak, not that i don't have something to say, but my voice won't carry over man voices that are raised to carry over bar noises. plus, guys i don't know usually assume i'm standing next to will primarily to look pretty, and while that was one of my goals, i am also very capable of intelligent conversation. but this is never tested and i hardly even get eye contact.
i was victorious over a bad combination of drinks and one too many cigarettes after another too many cigarettes. looking around, i just didn't want to be one of those girls. every one of them was hardly dressed in order to preserve their new year's image. either they couldn't lift their heavy heads off the table or they were flailing blindly for the nearest guy to catch their fall. i fought off the sick in the most amazing warrior-esque manner. "i will not bow down." i choked back a couple of heaves, sat down to catch my breath, and stood back up ready to rock and roll. now i know why we're not friends.
all that aside, i will be gracing texas with my presence from the 8th-19th. i would like to see many of you! let me know how busy you are, and i'll do my best to come see you! i'm not quite sure how the transportation situation will be, nor can i predict the neediness of my family, but we have time to plan!
