last night made me feel like i was 23 again. since jen's back in town we all decided to do the saturday night clubbing adventure for old times sake. by default we ended up at the century club, but this time it was a little different. of course we had the token quinn bodyguard/driver, hoochie mama kristine with her short ass skirt, and jen with her white boy dance moves, but despite the old gang, it just didn't feel the same. for one, jen wasn't the first to get plastered. quinn spent a majority of the evening with "the boys". not to mention kristine threw up from just 2 drinks! i found myself losing patience with all the college kids crashing into me b/c they can't even walk, the ho who stepped on my toe and ripped my toenail off, and the dumbass pickup lines that guys think work but really don't:

"hi. so are you waiting for your girlfriend to come out of the restroom or do you have a boyfriend because you're standing directly between both the guys' and girls' restrooms?

my response? --> "what kind of a dumbass question is that? go away."

don't get me wrong. clubbing is still fun, just not that kind of atmosphere. now that i think of it, i just don't like the young crowd. i think the older crowded clubs are more fun. maybe i'm just getting old. whatever.

the night was topped off with the usual hangout, my personal favorite.... GARDEN CAFE!! woot! woot! (applause)

yesterday morning my brother asked me, "did you see neeki?". intrigued by what he was talking about, i went outside to look at the dog and i had no choice but to jump back and scream. he had just picked her up from the groomers and they shaved ALL her hair off!!! the damn dog looked like a ferret. at least you can see her shiny white coat (or what's left of it) and a hint of her pink flesh underneath. poor thing. she's ugly now. i give it 3 months to get to a normal puffy length again.

i asked jen if i could bring andrea to her engagement party and her response was:
yeah. that's fine. tell me the truth, rose. are you fucking her?

so i was talking to one of my girlfriends yesterday (who shall remain nameless to prevent future embarassment) and she said, "oh my gosh, rose! you're never gonna believe what i did!" that line alone scared the hell out of me b/c this girl is a trip and always follows that statement with shocking news that i either have to sit down or pull over and stop the car. it turns out she gave head for the first time. not only that, she's a pro! you go! record breaking time of 2 minutes! her description and details of the event left me screaming and laughing to the point my stomach started hurting.

due to certain events in my life, i've found myself turning to certain male friends of mine for the comfort that i'm looking for. not to say that my female friends don't help - i love them to death - but male friends give that sense of protection like they don't want anyone to hurt you. yeah, that's kinda what i need right now. it's funny b/c ry and i have been talking more than we normally do and it's always the emotional roller coaster incidents that bring us closer together. people wonder how i could still be good friends with my ex, but i knew we became friends for a reason and we were friends before he ever asked me out. not to mention some people were trippin out when he came down a few weekends ago to visit me and stayed at my house with my parents around. wait til i tell them he might come back down again this coming weekend. it's weird b/c regardless of how far he lives he'll still come down to spend time with me and keep me company.

on a lighter note, i'm getting closer and closer to meeting one of my all-time favorite artists --> BRIAN McKNIGHT!!! he was supposed to come into the studio yesterday to record, but something came up. if not this week, maybe next week. what am i gonna wear?!!

yay! i finally know how to drive stick! and i only stalled ONCE! my brother is the most patient teacher on earth. of course i would still panic as soon as i saw oncoming traffic, but man, it's hella fun. my brother says you know you're a pro when you can drive stick, smoke a cigarette, and talk on your cell phone all at the same time. uh... yeah. right.

i did the dorkiest thing today. i was trying to walk through a door but my shoe flipped sideways and i ended up doing the "wave you arms in the air and do everything you can to maintain your balance" dance. i crashed into the side of the door and stood there trying to balance on one foot so i wouldn't fall. i wanted to laugh so hard but i couldn't b/c it was so quiet in the store. yes, this was in public. IN PUBLIC!!!
