Yesterday was definitely one of
Yesterday was definitely one of my better days. I went skiing for the first time at Seven Springs. Skiing is crazy fun, even if I'm not going particularly fast, or only going on the green trails. I wiped out like a million billion times, but I did learn the art of getting up in one (or two...or three) swift moves. I didn't get to take ski lessons until three hours after I actually started....so I really sucked at the beginning. Beth was so nice, every time I wiped out, she would wait for me and make sure I was ok. I felt so bad b/c Beth and Jen were actually pretty decent skiers, but b/c of me they had to slow down and wait for me. But, it was still totally fun. Too bad I only know how to stop with one leg. So, if you could imagine, there I was, going down the slope, always leaning toward the right. There was no turning going on at all. Every time I had to sort of turn, I'd just fall. It's kind of like ice skating, and stopping by hitting the wall. Sad, but true. I also busted up my thumb (it's nice and swollen now) when I wiped out big at the end, but I think it was totally worth it. I totally want to go again. How come I never did this earlier? *sigh*
If that wasn't exhausting enough, we then went to Babak's house warming party. That was ok. Lots of faculty and random people that I don't know. I wish I would learn how to mingle. I stuck with my group of friends, and we just talked. But it's not like I don't see them all the time and we don't talk all the time. That's something that I hate about myself, I don't know how to mingle, and it drives me completely up the wall. And it's not like these people are people are unfriendly or anything like that, I just don't know what to talk about. But, it's ok b/c we didn't stay there that long...we went to Touch afterwards. =)
Touch is crazy fun, even if the drinks are ridiculously expensive. The music is pretty decent (even if the DJ himself doesn't know how to spin to save his life), and the whole atmosphere is kind of nice. We danced for the entire time...except to get drinks every once in a while. I tried to dance mostly with Shelly and Jen, but I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't completely true to that. Eno is fun to dance with, and my entire image of Mike has been shattered. Hehehe. I can't believe I lost my bet to Jim. He said he was a wuss and never dances with random girls, but I make a bet with him, and wambam, two minutes later he is dancing with some random chick that is actually pretty cute!! I think I was conned. Sometimes I think I have way too much fun at these clubs. Dressing up and letting loose after a whole week of crud is so relaxing. I know that I'm not even crazy busy right now, but I still feel the need to go out and dance the night away. The best part is that I'm buzzing right enough that I don't even care if I look like a complete moron. It's just fun to let loose. The one thing that I didn't get was that one of my friends said to me, "you're boyfriend is so lucky, you're so atheltic" And I've been sort of turning that in my head a few times, and truth be told, I still have no idea what the hell that is supposed mean. Atheltic? Does that mean I look big and buff and gross? Are my calves too big? Do I have bulky arms?! I think that was supposed to be a compliment, but I still had no idea what the hell he meant. It's kind of frustrating.
Anyway, after that we just went to Jim's and had mac'n' cheese. Love that stuff. Notice how unhealthy food just tastes fifty times better when you are tired (ie buzzed)? I miss my Waffle House. I miss my Krystals. *sigh*
