Ringing in the New Year

This NYE was the strangest ever. Au debut, I'd like to say that I wish I could have hung out with everyone on NYE. I didn't realize how many people went to Woodhaven. That was probably the greatest concentration of friends in one place. I really didn't want to go to a house party for some reason. Anyway, Jeff went to Ann Arbor. Jay and Jack stayed in at their respective places. Mike went to the GC. Many other people I know went to Chicago. My sister had a party at her place.

Well, after much debating on what to do, I decided at 4pm on NYE to go to Jenn's. Jenn's supervisor Erik came out with us and we went to Red Robin for dinner. We had a horrible waitress named Lauren or Laura or something. She was probably 15 and had such disdain for us. Oh, to be a disgruntled teenager. I officially am old because I said "when I was her age I had to work every holiday". OLD. After dinner we headed to 5th ave. We walked in and the bouncer asked if we had tickets. We said no. He said it would be $60 for the downstairs and $90 for the upstairs. WTF? It was clearly not worth it so we left. The parking lot was dead too and it was 10:30. If I pay $90, I want dinner and an open bar.

After 5th Ave we went to Gus O'Conners. They were short staffed so we didn't drink much. 80s music was played and it followed us everywhere that night. It was pretty quiet at Gus's and there were weird people. We then left and went to the Post for Midnight Celebration. FWHAT? The Post? The bane of your existence? Yes, and it wasn't packed and was actually kind of fun. So we did the midnight thing. We got two glasses of bad champagne. Score. At the Post at one point this guy tried to get behind me and put his hand on my ass. I looked at him and he said, "you like that don't you." And he slapped my ass three more times. So weird. And then he looked back as he walked away. If I wasn't so schocked I would have told him to meet me in the bathroom. Also, we saw a guy totally get to 2nd base with a girl while they were sitting at the bar. It was a train wreck. I couldn't help but stare and hope he pink bra matched her underwear. After the Post we went to the Mixx. We drank Pomtinis that tasted like candy but were STRONG. We were there for a while. The DJ played 80s music. We danced a little. There were tons of freaky girls and guys. On girl tried to drag Erik onto the dancefloor but he was scared so he dragged me with him. After the Mixx stopped serving at like 3am or so we went back to Jenn's and talked.

It was a fairly unevenful NYE, but it was so much fun. There was so drama. There was no scandle. There was no stress which is what I wanted.

And I got a great NYE kiss. Who could ask for more?
