Stanzie is moving to Portland
Last night was really fun despite the morose overtone and the fact that I was eXhAuStEd. I tried to write this LiveJournal last night but I was pretty tipsy and just never got through it. Had to go over it again just to clean out some of the typos lol. For example: “Stanzze is moving to protland, or tomorrow so we hyd our last hurrah tonight!”. It was pretty bad. Anywayz! Stanzie is moving to Portland, so we had our last hurrah yesterday evening. Lindsay from school, Stanz, Me, Matt (one of her sweet Xs), Jordan (a guy from Austin?), and four people I can’t remember the names of for the life of me, met up at Zake sushi restaurant around 8 last night. We got our drink on a little bit, and I really love their lychee martinis. They’re delicious and I’ve never had them anywhere else! Dinner was pretty fun. We discussed my plan for a sexy pumpkin costume and my desire to wrap my fists in Jacob Black’s hair and kiss his face lol. Lindsay couldn’t fit the sushi she’d ordered in her mouth so she tried to use a knife to break it up. Stanzie started to crash a little after her MaiTai and cosmo so we had to get the after-party started. We took just a few pictures and after dinner we headed to South Beach. Lindsay didn’t want to go so she headed home and the rest weren’t big fans of the gay club, I guess. Matt would have gone but we decided we wanted it to be ladies night so we told him we were turning in too. South Beach was the first club that Stanzie and I ever went to after we moved in together, and I can still remember her trying to get me onto one of the stripping blocks with her. When I said no, she asked a giant..hairy…sweaty… black man to pick me up and put me on the block annnnnd he did it. Gross!! I was pretty much covered in man-sweat for the rest of the night. And not the good kind…. =\
Soooo, Stanzie’s holistic chiropractor, another Lindsay, met us up there. Amber and Stanzie’s Stripper Xboyfriend, Justin, showed up later. It was pretty dead when we got there at 10:50 so we ordered some drinks at the bar from a FINE shirtless bartender. He winked, I blushed… it was awesome. Within the hour the place was hoppin. Whooo Southbeach! Everyone was out on the dancefloor but me. I was txting James and playing questions again with Jonathan. They kept trying to full me out there, and at one point petite, little Stanzie literally picked me up out of my chair, bridal style and got me half way to the dancefloor before I was screaming and kicking and dropped. Justin bought Stanzie a capecod and me a Cherry Vodka Sour and Amber bought everyone a round of Vegas Bombs. Justin kept saying I needed to loosen up and he knew I could dance and I should go dance with him. I insisted it would be embarrassing for both of us. He said I should just come out there and he would dance on me. I told him I would blush and it would go badly but thanx anyway. Amber and I loudly chatted over the music about school and work while Lindsay, Stanzie, and Justin tore up the dance floor. Then! I headed to the bar to do a Watermelon comacausi (spelling on that?) that Justin had suggested. I definitely thought it was a drink but nope, it was a shot. I was standing close to this black guy then another, bigger black guy came over and kissed him at the bar. Maybe it made me smile but then they were both blatantly staring at me and winking and touching my arm and I was like, “hi..”. I never get hit on by black guys unless Cherry and I are on the metro on our way to the zoo! Then it’s a free-for-all. Anyway, they asked me if I was straight and would I like to go home with them and could they buy me a drink and could they have my number before I left. I insisted I was flattered and appreciated the drink offer but I had it and my boyfriend was a Marine =).
The nice thing about SouthBeach is that they have this cryogenic freezing fog stuff that comes down from the ceiling so it cools off the dance floor and you can’t see anyone around you even with the colored strobe lights flashing. It’s like dancing in a fucking cloud! That far into my drinks, I was finally ready to bust a move I guess, cause I let Stanzie and Justin pull me out there. Justin and Stanzie sandwiched me and I really just stood there screaming how uncomfortable it was lol. But after the fog came down, Lindsay said I needed to literally let my hair down and get out of my cage. To stop overthinking it and just move. I did for about three songs. When I went to stand over by the stairs, two creepers asked me to dance and I said no thanx.
Pretty soon, everyone was exhausted except Justin and the party was breaking up. Stanzie and I headed for the car. There was a police car two spaces behind us and Stanzie and I mumbled to eachother to walk straight as possible and be cool. A Po-Po was in the process of writing us a ticket for parking on that side of the block but she gave Stanzie the lesser amount and it was only 35 bucks. Stanz drove me to my car in the Zake parking lot and I def started crying. I told her to be careful and stay in touch and that I absolutely love her. She said she cried the whole way home and that’s good cause I know I did!! I was listening to my new Meg & Dia CD just crying about my roomie leaving town and feeling like I was gonna vom b/c of all the jumping around and drinks in my stomach. I might have drunk dialed Jeff a little bit for a semi-embarrassing episode but its whatever. I feel like he’s used to the call lol.
Last night when I sat down at my computer at 2:48AM, I was exhausted with smudged eye makeup and a serious case of the hiccups. I didn’t get through all this then but I’m glad I got most of it out today before work.
