After I got home from the relaxing day after partying with Carson and my other club friends, I got home around 6pm or so. Had a turkey sandwich, showered, and tried to watch TV with my parents. That failed miserably. I ended up falling asleep while watching TV with them. (That NEVER happens.) Anyways, they finally woke me up around 8:30 or so and I went up to sleep. I hadn't sleep that good in a long time. Probably got about 12 hours of sleep or so that night... The best.
Monday, just kinda hung out around the house. I was in such a good mood that day. Even moreso when I found out my good friends Alisa and Jeff were coming in town for that one night. ;D Not a lot of details this day... Just waited for 8-8:30 to roll around when Carson would be picking me up. Finally met up with Everyone up @ Lizard Lounge around 9 or 9:30. The place was completely decked out with balloons, hats, noise makers, confetti and all sorts of decorations for New Years. The regular house DJ's spent all their time in the video bar, as usual. Raydar, Shaolin, Andy Szontagh, Johnny Funk, Snow White all spun really good stuff. Though, when Raydar and Shaolin got up is when I really felt compelled to dance. I think we all got out there for a good while. It was one of the rare nights when we all actually danced. Not just myself or just Alisa or just whomever. That's what made that night really enjoyable for me. I liked seeing all my friends having fun. ;D
BT put on a really good show. I didn't get to catch his intro because I was distracted by the dancing that was going on in the video bar. But, I walked in during "Love Comes Again". The crowd really loved that song. Everyone was singing along to it. I worked my way to being right underneath where BT was in the DJ booth and I swear he was only about 5 feet from me. It was awesome. Alisa and Jeff took the stage right next to me. We all danced and sang along to other great songs. "Force of Gravity" was one of my favorites. That bass in the intro was amazing to feel. (Especially when you've seen all the speakers that sit right underneath the DJ booth.) Apparently he did "Godspeed", too. But, I missed it when I went in the other room to cool off for a bit. I was sad. I've known that song for almost 8 years. >.>
BT finished his set around 1:30 or two. I was kinda dissappointed because it seemed like he only played about 5-7 songs. But, it was still cool to be able to see him play. Myself, Alisa and Jeff went back in the video bar and started to gather everyone together. Carson headed out to another party, (which I heard was insane.) The rest of us split up and headed out towards Insomnia. I was real happy for a number of reasons. One: Insomnia opened up at 2am instead of 4am and...two: My good friend Connie, who I thought I wasn't going to see again for almost six weeks, ended up showing at the last minute. Well, she showed up around 4am, but it made me very happy either way.
I think out of my friends I somehow had the most energy. Steph and Connie were still pretty awake most of the time. I remember seeing Lara, Zach, Brian and Wesley all crash out on the chairs a few times. Alisa and Jeff ended up heading out around 4 or 5, if I remember correctly. There wasn't as much dancing going on there as usual. I was acutally kinda dissappointed in that sense. But, I got to hang out with people I really care about, so it all worked out. I think we all headed out around 7:30 or so in the morning. The sun was just starting to come up and it was a nice 40-45 degrees outside. I walked out with Connie to her car to say bye to her and apparently the valet people rolled up her windows. (Which is a bad thing seeing as her car can only unlock from the inside, I hear.) We spent about the next 30 minutes in the freezing cold trying to get into her car with some of the most redneck inventions ever. After all that work, we finally got Connie back in her car and she was off. When I get in Leon's car, everyone tells me that she has a flat tire. v.v So, I called her up and let her know. She was pissed off. But, understandably so. We ran over to her real quick so I could try and help her with her flat. She didn't have a jack, but she had a spare. She didn't have a wrench that had the right lug nut size either. So, we ended up not really being able to do anything for her. So, she ended up driving home having to fill up the tire once every 20 minutes or so. I felt so bad for leaving her in that position. But, she made it home okay and so did we. So, everything worked out.
When we made it back to Lara's place, we all sat on the couch and covered ourselves with blankets and slept. Right there on the couch. It was probably the most relaxing sleep I had in a long time. Apparently I jerked around and twiched and everything every few minutes or so. To the point that it made people not want to lie next to me. (At least, that was the impression I got.) We all laid around and talked and just generally took it easy all day just sitting around. I don't get days like that often, so I really took advantage of it.
My friends are the greatest.
I finally got back to my parents place around 6pm or so that night, ate some dinner and headed back to D/FW.
Very long drive. My mind wondered a lot that night. I felt less than stellar that day. I'm much better now. But, still not in stellar status. Hopefully that will come back soon.
