OMG! New Years in New Orleans was INSANO!!! Almost as good as Scotland, but not quite ;) lol
Although New Orleans is unbearable when you're not drunk, being drunk there is a whole new scene! You cant be there and NOT get drunk at least once. Its utterly impossible no matter your age.
Seriously, Half the places DONT card and the other half dont look at you, only your ID which can be sooo awful but it still doesnt matter.
For example, My best friend Mykel has red hair and freckles and we did a pass back with WHits sisters id and whits sister is blonde and tan.... hahaha THEY DONT CARE! Its sooo different from FL!
So Mykel and I stayed with our gay friend from High school, Jeremy, in uptown by Loyola/Tulane. By the way, i am driving 25 down this little ghetto road (yes i know i was doing the speed limit, but damn i HAD to or my car would have died on all the damn bumps!!! I needed a TRUCK! haha) and I suddenly see all these crappy ass houses start having greek letters on them... yeah i was in the greek (ghetto) Row of Tulane.... random! The Pike has was SOOO shitty it needed to be torn down!lol Our houses are so much more beautiful at UCF <3
We rode the bus down to Bourbon street which was $1.25 not bad at all! and it took less than 30 minutes, so not bad....
When we got there, Jeremy and his friend ditched us to try to make it to the gay lcub before they had to pay cover so we were waiting for whit and he wasnt answering his phone....
I bought us daquiris at this small stand and they didnt even card. They were expensive but big... $9! from Mango Mango. I got mykel a strawberry one and myself a 151 hurricane. Hers tasted ALOT better. We are standing in front of the Bar Frat house whihc we would have gone in but they were charging $10 cover---gay! (they never charge cover on bourbon st) and we stood out there, and randomly whit walked by. He was with his sisters friend and she was HYSTERICAL because someone had put beads on her and then stole her wallet =(
We finally found her some friends that she knew and dumped her off on them... seriously she was ridiculous because she had been drinking for sooo long at that pt.
We go in some small country like bar and whit buys each of us an Abita Beer which is New Orleans own wheat ale =) and its pretty good- probably better out of a glass than a bottle though. After the beer, we find Kelsey (whits sister) about to go to Pat O's which is cool bc ive beent o Pat O's in orlando and i got to go to the original! =) its not really Much like the one in orlando at all and I was too drunk to even enjoy the piano bar room that we found waaaay later. We all got in, with doing the most amazing passback to mykel! lol, and went to their outdoor courtyard. We all got hurricans but they dont serve them to you in the glass- i guess way too many people? and they are cheaper- like 7.50. I love Kelseys friends by the way. I couldnt have hung out with more fun people for New years!
I talk to her friend Whitney and she is so dead set on giving me her ID, it was too cute. She was really awesome- she went to Ole Miss but was friends with Kelsey! Kelsey and i have a heart to heart for half an hour and she said she wants me to be her future sister in law blah blah blah lol and that whit needs to treat me right and i cant let him treat me like crap and if he does im supposed to call her and she'll set him straight and she was really pissed about the whole formal thing.... She talked to him for a long time about that one. And she said her and her mom talk about wanting me in their family and that whit is choosing unquality girls right now but that he will get out of it sooner hopefully than later! The whole thing was just so adorable and made me feel really welcome =) Whit was hanging out with Mykel the whole time and he was like what are they talking about blah blah blah. Mykel said it was really cute.Also, i dont KNOW how this came around, but Kelseys boyfriend, Jamie, and I start talking about how we are goign to be future brother and sister in law and we call each other brother/sister all night. It was hilarious!
New Years came, and i dont evenknow if we hit the right countdown or not. I think i remember someone passing out Hats for everyone to wear lol. Mine kept falling off! =( i wish i still had it though, oh well. and Kelsey told me i should kiss whit on new years so i did, but it wasnt that big of a deal. just a closed mouth kiss but it was more than a peck. Mykel, on the other hand, kissed 4 boys that night!!!!!!!!!!!!PIMP haha.
Oh what a good time. George, whits roommate, somehow came around and we hung out with him. The last thing I remmeber was him taking us to the bathroom and then we couldnt find whit or kelsey or anyone...we finally walked back to the Ritz where they were staying and whit was getting ready for bed! BOOO.
I asked him for some water a nd he wouldnt get it for me so i made a big deal about it instead of getting in for myself only bc kelsey told me to make him treat me right and they made a HUGE deal about it and they started yelling at each other in spanish and then mykel started yelling in Italian and it was just nuts and finally whit got me water.hahah Whitney and Jamie and I were just looking at each other like wTF? lol Mykel said later that kelsey was telling whit to treat me right etc etc. Shes too cute =) and she stands up for me lol. aww
So at one point after getting water, george and mykel and i want to go back out to bourbon st because it NEVER goes to sleep and Whit is being gay and not wanting to go so i vaguely remember trying to put his jacket on him lol. it must have been so funny to watch this whole thing go down.... but he wouldnt get dressed and i gave up when kelsey reprimanded us and said she wanted to go to sleep. So george, mykel and i left and went back to bourbon, well dauphine anyways which is parallel to bourbon and not so crazy. Oh and stole whits phone in an effort to get him to come out with us lol but he didnt so i had his phone all night and mine whihc kinda felt weird sinc ei was holding everything in my pockets.
It was on dauphene that i randomly ran into LIGHTHOUSE- the ato at our school! =) it was sooo funny seeing him there. aww. I knew someone from my school!
I also told george that i didnt get a good enough new years kiss and to find me someoen else to kiss and low and behold, one of their brothers comes stumbling up and he tells me to kiss ronnie. lol so i made out with ronnie for a few minutes and he is a GOOD kisser! =)
We were waiting on that street for a long ass time.... and it was cold and then we went and caught a cab which took about 1 hour! jeeeez louise. Finally got home around 4 or so and realized we lost our disposable camera =( mots likely int he cab booooooo!!!!!!!!!
So all we have are the few pictures kelsey took and they are on facebook and SOOOO hilarious.
The next morning, we got up and ate and whit called his phone from his sisters and i told him i had held it hostage and would get it back to him. I told him i made out with one of his frat brothers when i saw him lol and he was like "What?! dont tell me it was so&so" and i told him who it was and he was like "thats ok!... hes cool" hahaha it was too funny. Ashley says that might have been the best move ive made and he might realize he was jealous... who knows. So anyway we met up and then he went with mykel a nd i to meet courtney and stephen in the french quarter for some lunch. Lunch was...awful. the streets SMELLED LIKE ASSSSSSS! If you were at laurens house practicing the ato serenade the night after the big phi delt party at her house, times that smell by 100 and think EVERYWHERE outside smelled that way. Blech!!! Shit ass town. Iswear that town is only goood for getting drunk in!
After lunch we walked over to Cafe DuMonde and had beignets and hot chocolate. Which was the best ive had almost ever(england has good hot chocolate!)
and it got really cold!!! so we took whit back to his car and took naps later.
And that was my oh-so-adventurous new years in new orleans =)
It was crazy,it was fun,it was memorable....if you could remember.lol
and my biggest surprise: i only had 3 drinks on new years and i was trashed!!!!!! crazy! Pat o's always does you in!
I love Kelsey and Whit and all kelseys friends and her bf and Mykel and all whits frat brothers that we ran into. i dont think i could have had any more fun in the US on new years under 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooohoooooo
