It's a new year and I need a creative outlet so...I'm baaaack! I didn't want to abandon the old blog, you know, like my parents abandoned me in 2001 so they could retire half a country away (just kidding, Ma!) but the blog needed a fresh re-start. I saved some of the old posts that I thought could get a good chuckle at least....check 'em out if you're bored or need something to put you to sleep ;)
Blog #1 was only about updating friends and family...well, that got boring for us all. Now it's Blog #2 and I just wanna talk about $h!t, tell bad jokes, share my (possibly unwelcome) opinions and post about things I like. I don't even know yet but it's my blog so I'll cry if I want to.
One story about New Years and then I'll let you go...I know, hooray!
So this year B, and one of his friends and I decided to go out in D.C. for New Years. We found a bar that had live music and we'd been there before and knew the crowd - not at all trendy and even encroaching on goth - so we figured it'd be a decent 'win'. After arriving and discovering that the live band was a swing band, I knew this was not going to be an epic sort of evening. Long story short (collective sigh), it wasn't. Award for most funny: the coat check line was (seriously) 50 people long so we hung our coats on the wall...nope, not kidding:
The band was good but I was wearing sky high heels and was with two avid non-dancers; that's a no-go for the dance floor. The NYE countdown was anticlimactic when the lead singer counted down from 10 on the microphone but there were no TVs around to actually watch the ball drop. I saw a *really* drunk girl slip on her ass and whack her head on the concrete floor...I'll never get that sound out of my head...and those sky high heels were totally rejecting me on the walk home (but I'm not dumb enough to wander the streets of D.C. with no shoes on so I swear I lost a pinkie toe somewhere back on U Street). To add insult to injury, even after a really valiant effort, I barely even had a buzz. My 2013 New Years resolution is to have a better New Years experience next year. Time Square, anyone??
