here i go again on my own
So here I am, a Saturday night at 10:30, sitting on my bed wearing pajama pants. Sometimes I think I should be depressed when these kind of nights occur. After all, I could be downtown with Mike at a Naughty by Nature show (which I thought he was joking about when I texted him earlier). But since I already spent oodles of money this evening on dinner and bowling with a couple other friends, let alone the past 2 months, I thought I would save a few bucks tonight.

It's wierd how much I look forward to having time off, but then when I actually have it, I don't know what to do with it. I have soooo many things I could think about for school but, ehh, it's supposed to be free time! I don't know.

Maybe I'm a little depressed...I know it's not the end of the world to be by yourself on a weekend night. And I could probably call other people but we always all call Mike to see what's going on; the rest of us hardly ever call each other. It has been this way for years; why stop now? However, it usually results in nights like these.

Never mind the fact that I'm one of like, two single friends that I have.

Well I'm babbling. These entries always feel like they are more appropriate for livejournal rather than here, but I don't have a livejournal. And I don't really want one.

Can't wait for Christmas, and I REALLY can't wait for New Years at my favorite Linwood mansion.

And hey, if you're free tonight, let me know. The pajama pants haven't completely killed my urge to party tonight... :)

Nothing is inappropriate for your estrip journal. It is your journal after all, ;)
ladycroft - 12/24/06 11:21
yah. it can be hard when you're used to having people, or a particular someone around, then suddenly you find yourself home alone on a weekend night. it's cool though. we need that. maybe you didn't plan for a night alone, but use it to pamper yourself, or sit on your ass doing nothing. i usually end up cleaning like a maniac when i don't know what to do with myself. paint your nails, soak in a bath, do some yoga, eat cheese, paint, cook, read...whatever floats your boat. that is the bonus of being single. you can do whatever YOU like!
metalpeter - 12/24/06 10:35
Naughty By Nature the band? Or is that the type of party it was? sometimes it is better to sit home and just relax and be away from all the crazzyness.

massage needed...STAT
Well actually I'm looking for a spa/massage place so I can get a gift card or gift package for my mom for Christmas/birthday. Does anyone know of any good ones???

joshua - 12/20/06 20:45
I keep hearing an ad for a place called Toscano but I can't vouch for how good they are.
enknot - 12/20/06 10:42
there's also that Message Studio on Allen next to what used to be Drool, that raver place, near Quaker Bonnet Bakery. I know some people who work there, I think they're all from NYIM, and they've been there for quite a while.
zobar - 12/20/06 10:19
Salon Excuria?

vincent - 12/19/06 23:33
There's always the NY Institute of Massage on Transit. It's a student clinic and they're really cheap $35 for an hour. They do have gift certificates. The # is 633-0355
mike - 12/19/06 22:31
yeah, it's called I tihnk it is called like Pete's Happy Endings or something. It is on Fillmore somewhere. I hear they are good.

randomness as usual
a) I am the worst gift wrapper ever. Period. I am awful. I always manage to cut just slightly less than is needed to make the folds on the ends of the box, causing me to either cut out more paper and awkwardly attach it somehow, or leave a little bit showing so that the person opening the gift gets a sneak peek before they've even taken off the bow.

b) Thanks to everyone for suggestions about the spa. I ended up getting my mommy a gift card to Euphoria at the Galleria. Convenience. And they had some nice stuff it looked like, so I'm sure she will be happy.

c) I'm very excited because I decided that I'm going to take both of my classes on a rockin field trip to................the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!! I think they will be so excited. Almost as excited as their dorky teacher (me).

d) I would like a White Christmas. Just for like, 4 days. Stupid global warming.

e) This is the second time I'm writing this post because it got erased before. I remember that my list at least went to F, but I have no idea right now what E and F were. So I guess I will say that I'm super excited about Secret Santa and New Years at PMT's on Linwood!!!! A party thrown for the estrippers has yet to disappoint, and I hope to see everyone there ... !!! :D

f) Bye!!!

I was going to suggest euphoria- I get my hair cut there and I like it- but I didn't know if they did spa stuff. I guess they do! cool.
