It Just Keeps Getting Better!
This weekend was seriously one of the BEST weekends I have had in a long time! The thing that makes it the best is that everything was last minute and random :)
Friday night my roommate and I found ourselves in a cigar bar. Never have been to one, and would have normally thought that I would be sitting in a hot ashtray-like bar filled of smoke and sweaty men. It was actually pretty decent and everyone there is so chill. We met a friend there after he had told me that him and a buddy needed an entourage. That was only the beginning to a good night.
Next we decided to go to a different bar, until we randomly decided to go to this Hole-in-the-wall white trash bar called the Beacon instead. My roommate may have not enjoyed herself as much as she would have at a frat bar, but I think the shittier the better! I had an awesome time and it was so nice to catch up with someone that I haven't seen since last October. Rekindled friendships are good...especially when you feel completely at ease when you see them again. It was great to be around people who could totally care less what the hell you do or say and just let loose. I was pulled out on the dancefloor to dance with him, but he surely showed my ass up. Guess my daddy didn't teach me ALL the moves when it comes to country dancin! Virgo-Boy (the new friend that has the same birthday as me...ironic) was accompanied by an ink-toothed crack head in a puuurrrrdddyyy red dress. Lady in Red she was! The night had to end but that was just for Friday night.
Saturday night I decided to take this girl that I have been tutoring out to dinner for some REAL American food. She is Korean and has always wanted to go to Famous Daves. I gathered along some friends and we all headed to the South side of town for some good fixins! It was a blast...we were all laughing about the most ridiculous stuff and My Tutoree had a good time too. She has only been in the U.S. for 2 months and her English is better than I thought. I was originally supposed to help her with speaking for her test coming up, but we have found ourselves just meeting up to talk about normal every-day life things. This tutoring thing developed into a friendship and it feels good to help someone understand her surroundings. I always tell her "I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY!" So whenever we meet up on campus it's just fun to talk.
Later that night my good friends and I went to a country bar called Uncle Ron's. Now, this is no ordinary bar...this litterally will make you feel like you are on vacation in the heart of the promise land with cowboys and cowgirls who just got done bailin' hay and are ready for some two-steppin'! None of my friends know how to country dance, but the 10 of us or so were watching others and some had random dance partners. Rangin from old men to switchin off between eachother, everyone danced with eachother. Boy did we look like a bunch of hooligans out there, but it was something we have never done before and it felt good. CHANGE IS GOOD!
Oh, one thing that I find very comical: My one roommate had her eye on this cowboy all night. He was wearing a pink button-up and tight ass wrangler jeans. My other roommate showed up near the end and sure enough the cowboy asked the late-comer to dance. The eye-baller was furious and said "I'm not gunna let that ruin my night!" lol We all know she was pissed.
Finally for Sunday...It was one of my best friend's baby showers today. I drove back home to Iowa to see her and give her her gifts. It was sooooo good to see everyone, especially since she is 7 months pregnant and I haven't even seen her since before! It's crazy how people look so different when they are pregnant. Almost like an entire different person!
This weekend was well worth it. I wish things like this could happen more often :)

Top Five Most Embarrassing Moments
Everyone has weird, crazy, embarrassing things happen to them in their lifetime. Mine are a little different. Wanna know? Here they are:
1. The Pissing Shoe: I'm luckily an open-minded person and rarely get shy to tell horrible things about myself AND I finally came out about this to my friend last year.
I know that almost everyone has had a peeing-incident in sometime of their college drinking life. Mine? Well, my friends and I went our drinking one night and got completely hammered. I woke up the next morning on his futon with no pants on and totally worried. It was completely abandoned land country down there. I'm still laying there and he comes in to get ready for church. Picks up his shoes and dumps out a puddle of something...smells his shoe and yells "Someone pissed in my shoe!!!!!" These weren't just ANY shoes, these were his favorite shoes....:) I totally denied it for so long because I dont' ever remember doing it! It had to be me though. I was the only one sleeping in his room and inhilated. He made me wash them for him. I was so embarrassed but now we laugh about it.
2. The Forgotten Formal: Freshman year of college, my friends and I decided to attend a formal that was held by our residential hall. We headed over to the other residential hall and started throwing back tequila shots, one right after the other. (girls with insecurities can make themselves more confident when intoxicated!) Well, it was time to head for the limo. Next thing I know, I woke up on my friend's couch. "Uhh...what the hell happened last night?!" I was so scared to hear what all happened. Apparently I had done everything wrong in sight. Wore a dress with no underwear and decided to lay on my back and flail my legs in the air...exposing EVERYTHING! Trying to ride elevators at the Champions club in front of cops and repeatedly doing it after they kept telling me know. I don't remember what else my friend told me during my rehab session of three hours, but I never allowed myself to drown my insecurities with alcohol ever again.
3. The Panty Pull-Over: Every girl, in sometime decides to take off their underwear and hide it in their car. Why? I can't remember for sure the reason, but I can probably assume that it was bc I went to work out and then go tanning. I refuse to put back on my workout clothes after I tan, so I usually go comando afterwards. Anywho...I get pulled over one day for running a stop light and the cop comes to my window. The traditional "Can I see your license and registration please?" I reach for the glove box and there they were...my underwear. This wasn't any ordinary cop, this was a guy I had a crush on my freshman year of college that decided to join the police force upon graduation. There was no warning...for me there is NEVER a warning. A solid $125.00 ticket and the fear of seeing him again.
4. Jumpin' JaHOOSaFAT: Drunk...yes I was. Decided to do a side/body-slam/jump on my roommates California King bed. It is like the Cadillac of all beds. Instantly, I tanked it and it plummeted to the ground. The sound was nearly equivalent to a sonic boom
5. The Treadmill: Many of my followers already know this story, but it's so unreal of how real it really is. Allow me to set the scene:
I was having one of the worst days of my life and decided that I would go run off some stress at the rec center. Let me tell you that the rec center has a balcony with a row of treadmills lined so everyone in the entrance can see them. That is exactly where I was. So I was running...bumped the speed up a little because the music was intense and it felt good...then I bumped it up again until I found myself sprinting at a speed that I have never ran before in my life! Before I even had a chance to think I slipped. Grabbing the handlebars in front of me, I am dangling from the treadmill...legs dangling as I am trying to catch myself back up. Why didn't I just let go? WHO FRIGGIN' KNOWS! So then it happened, the treadmill caught the bottom of my yoga pants and ripped them right off of me. I believe my dignity was ripped from me as well at that time. I finally let go and my ass hit the wall. I still don't know why any of the people running beside me didn't push the STOP button.
The guy next to me finally got off the treadmill and asked if I was OK..."Yeah, I just can't believe that really happened to me."
"Oh, that kind of stuff happens to me all the time," he said.
"You don't have to lie," I replied. "THAT happens to NO ONE!"
