23 is the new 33
luna and roxys were fun last nite. my chest still hurts from roxy smoke. i sang 'beast of burden.' after the first verse my lyrics shut off. it is funny because i know every word to that song - but i blanked. yikes. i almost choked but luckily pulled myself together.

after roxys i stopped by coles to say hi to my sister. while i was there i started chatting with 2 gentlemen who were quite sweet. after about 20 minutes, the one asked how old i was. "23," i replied. this guy acutally says back to me; "oh man! i totally have an older brother that is perfect for you!"
i am never going out again.
to make matters worse, after exiting directly after this i fell right on my ass on the ice outside.

Not much of a bar person myself (plus I wake up to early to go out to them). But I would like to see the Stripteasers some time again. I saw a couple performances of there's this summer at Music Is Art that where interesting and good. I know they used to preform at Roxy's some night of the week and another night they had what was refered to on the radio as "Lesbian Karoke" at Roxy's.

la luna is this bar on chippewea - they have open bar on wednesdays from 11-12 (no strings attached, not even cover). it isnt like a chippewea chippewea bar(i swear.) it is known more for being a salsa bar. a lot of the old blu crowd turned hardware crowd is there. stop by next wednesday - it is fun. (although rumor is the open bar nite may be drawing to an end.)

i overdrew my bank account by $436.52
with every good thing there is some bad.

good thing #1:
i wanted to get my dad a business card scanner for christmas. yesterday i got one free from work!

bad thing #1:
i overdrew my bank account by $436.52. that is real bad. i don't understand how i have the best paying (if not the only paying) job of all my friends and i am the one that is always broke! holy crap it is gonna be a dollar store christmas.

good thing #2:
i won a $250 dollar gift card from best buy at work today. maybe it wont be a dollar store xmas after all.

bad thing #2:
dinner last nite was torture. my uncles girlfriend it the worst. it was so uncomfortable i almost had to leave. they have been together about a year. i havnt really liked her off the bat. i hate to be a girl hater - but she is so awful. i wont launch into detail too much, but last nite she spent dinner talking about when they are married and birthing their children. i'm sorry, but in my family these are not subjects to be brought up in front of my grandmother with out a ring on your finger. i thought poor nana was going to faint. man, that was awful.

i know with the current status of my checking account i shouldn't be going out...but its wednesday! luna then wherever later

mooshu who
last nite theresa and i ordered chinese and settled down for my guiltiest of pleasures - The Gauntlet.i drove from her house on Bryant to pick it up at that place on the corner of Elmwood and Delavan. When i got it back to her house i noticed the veggie mooshu i ordered was chicken mooshu. i called and they offered to deliver which was badass. theresa was excited at the prospect of more left overs. but when i went downstairs to meet to deliveryman - he asked me for the other back. i find this bizarre. what was he going to do with it? gross

i was awakened at 5am to my room shaking and pounding with music and dancing. i hate my housemates. hate. them. seriously - 5am on monday? what the hell. i don't want to be the cranky neighbor, but this is ridiculous.

cecilias tonite for matt's bday (my uncle.) i can think of nothing better for a 25th bday present the Trapped in The Closet Volumes 1-12

Never eaten at great wall. Now that I know they take back wrong orders I won't eat there. I taped the Gauntlet and may watch it tonight it is a great show to watch, there is nothing wrong with watching it.
iriesara - 12/13/05 19:32
You're talking about the Great Wall, yeah? I used to live right above there. I ate their food also, but I must say in all my 20-odd years in Buffalo, living above there was the only time I ever saw cockroaches (until I moved to Texas)....hhmm, coincidence?

ellis and douglas
eread Less Than Zero today. i havnt read it in a long time. i think the first time i read it i didn't really grasp it, because now that i just read it again i am so blown away. it is wierd how that happens. different life experiences make you identify so much more with something that was just 'good' before.
anyways. today i did the tree thing as well. for whatever reason my mother felt the need to get one for the upstairs living room and the down stairs family room. this seems fairly unecessary to me. i got a small tree for the apartment as well. i wanted to get a normal full size douglas fir - but the idea of transporting it in the colbalt back to buffalo and moving the furniture etc. for it seemed more trouble then its worth. i ended up with something a little more charlie brownish. i will provide photos when i am home and it is decorated.
ps - don't leave (e:jason)

rochester nite
in rochester tonite. needed a break . something about coming to my parents house that is soo soothing. seeing my parents together, seeing my puppy, my brothers... is it wierd to miss home at 23? maybe i just miss good food and a thermostat turned past 58.
last nite we did tudor , hardware, pink - the usual friday sequence. i skipped out on the party on highland with the girls to hang out with the boys. bad idea. i kinda regret it. tudor just annoyed me. there is only so many times i can hear harrington sing 'Obsession' at karoke. the girls said the party was fun too, like a broadway joes renuion from the old days.
