Ya' Snooze, You Lose

How bummed am I that I completely missed my opportunity to get photo stamps????

Last night I met Liz and Gabe at Fireside. A bar in downtown Maryville. I can't really explain that to those who don't know my hometown area. But for those who do, I need not explain. I put on clothes that I was sure I would not want to wear for at least a month b/c they were going to be so completely immersed in smoke. In this choise outfit, I was approached by two men. The first was a Fireside regular who overheard me describing Subconscious Boy as your garden variety "dorky white boy." The regular decided I was talking about him and proceeded to make reference to it for the rest of the night. Eventually, he (very politely) asked me to dance (to a slow song). I declined with the help of my girls - thought I kinda felt bad about it. Don't ask.

The second was a long haired artsy looking guy with a nose ring whom I later found out Liz had mistaken for me when he first came in (no, he was not black). He came up and said I looked familiar, did he know me from somewhere. We asked if he went to EHS, to which he replied no. Then he says, "well, I'm a tatoo artist, so I meet a ton of people..." and I was like, "well, I don't have any tatoos..." and he said, "hm. yeah I guess I thought I knew you from work... well, you sure are pretty anyway." Which was sweet. But irrelevant to the situation at hand.

I'll have it known that I resisted Steak 'n Shake on my way home.

When I got home, I apparently smelled so completely of smoke that my mom forbade me to walk back and forth across the room ("pick a seat! Stop moving!").
