Downtown

So I wanted to expand a little bit on the whole downtown experience. I have been out to a few other bars before but until Saturday I hadn't ever been downtown. Which apparently is a completely different experience. Which it was. So Denise and I started off drinking at her house because we didn't want to pay for drinks while we were out, which was just fine by me. We met up with a few of our other friends (and some of hers which I didn't already know) for a cookie exchange party and then headed downtown after. We first went to China Blue and we got into the VIP section which was pretty cool. They had a good DJ and a really cool dance floor that lit up with different colors. It was pretty fun dancing there because we were literally the only onesnon the dance floor. But it was also a little bit awkward because everyone else was just watching is dance. But whatever. We didn't stay there too terribly long because there wasn't that many people here and we were meeting up with a few other people. At least I got to feel important for a little while with my floresent orange wrist band. Haha. Next we headed to Mac and Charlies. This is where we spent most of our time. I had a drink there, and it was really good. I can't even tell you what it was because I let someone else order it for me. I like trying new things. Here's where the story takes a turn. Nohing horrible happened. It was just weird. There were tons of people there and Denise was trying to point people out but it was so loud in there that I could hear her about half the time. I'm not any good at lip reading anyways. So conversation proved difficult. We made our way to the dance floor. I was dancing with the girls when this group of like three guys joined us. Which I am totally fine with. I mean, it's just dancing. No big deal. So I gave him my full attention. This, apparently, was not the best of ideas. Dancing was fine but it got a little uncomfortable when he decided he should place open mouthed kisses on my ear/hair/neck. But I just told myself to get through the song. It's not like he was groping me or anything. After the song was overnight literally turned my back on him and tried to join the girls again. Which would have been fine except for the fact that the other members of my guy's group were dancing with my group! Pretty soon I found myself dancing with this guy again only dancing with my girls too. When that song ended he girls ditched me! I don't think they purposefully left me behind but they did. So I dance with this guy for like half ofthe next song and then he said he had to go. Which was more Than fine by me. I must have looked confused (even though I'm pretty sure me face read "please do leave!") because he proceeded to explain toe that he had a friend waiting outside by that he did want to get to know me. At this point I don't know how I kept from laughing. But I did. I reassured him it was fine and he left. First off, I definitely was not offended by him leaving. I was glad! Second, I went downtown to have fun, not to meet someone. I did not want to get to know him. Third, I'm pretty sure that "get to know you" was code for "see you naked". This most definitely was not going to happen! I mean, I give the guy points for trying. But does that line work on anyone?He obviously didn't actually want together to know me or he would have at least asked me my name. Oh boys... Haha. We stuck around for a little while longer but then finished up our night at Roddy's. This place was my favorite I think. Although it could be just because I was glad to get away from that guy. But it had a much more relaxed environment. It's a country bar :) We danced there a bit too and I did some lip syncing. Haha. We left at two when the bar closed and started looking for a taxi. My nameless guy appeared out of no where! I was too far away to hear anyhin he said but Denise yelled at him that we were gettin a taxi home. Alone. Haha. I lover her! We made it home safe and sound (after some sister drama). And that my friends, was my first downtown experience. So fun mixed with some drama and stalking. But hey, at least I lived!

blah...

Today I am feeling uberly unmotivated. My house is a disaster area. It seriously looks as though I had a frat party here last night. Or something equal to that. In reality I haven't cleaned my house since before NaNoWriMo. *sigh* I really need to clean. But the messier it gets the more I don't want to clean. I don't know where to start, it's too much work, blah blah blah. haha. Also I need to film a video for my collab channel. But I'm feeling unmotivated to do that either. This is going to be a really whiny blog. yep. Also, I can't decide on a charity for my p4a video and because I don't have much time left I'm thinking the video isn't going to be that good anyways and so I should probably just give up now. Yeah, it's definitely a very unmotivating day. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I slept most the of the day away. I got up at like 3:30 this afternoon. I had my first ever downtown experience last night. It was fun. I didn't even drink that much, but I had to get up at like 9:30 and drive Denise to get her car. I pretty much never wake up that early on weekends and so I came home and went right back to bed and slept forever. But I think I slept too much, which just leaves me groggy and unmotivated. (I wonder how many times I've used that word in this blog. hmm...) So, I am writing to vent in the hopes that I will actually do something. I did start some laundry... so that's at least something. I think I may just need some caffeine. That could be the problem. Probably is actually. Okay... getting some caffeine. I knew that blogging would help!

NaNoWriMo ends...

Geez! It's been awhile. NaNoWriMo has come to an end and I've been having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. It gave me an excuse not to clean house,cook,vlog,or do laundry. None of these thing have gotten since either. I have become addicted to Grey's Anatomy and that's what I've been doing in place of NaNoWriMo. I'm almost done with the fourth season! Back to the whole NaNoWriMo thing for a minute. I did win! I'm really proud of that with it being my first year and all. Writing 50,000 words was easier than I thought it was going to be. Yes sometimes I felt unmotivated, but for the most part it was awesome! Plus it helped keep me distracted from some personal things that happened this month. Having that goal helped me keep my mind off things. I may write about this some oher time. But for now I'll leave it at that. I really can't wait until next November to try again. This time I will have a better plan. This year I knew where my story was going, because I pretty much wrote out a story I had been writing in my head for years. The problem proved to be that I don't really like my main charater, I can't write dialouge, there were major plot holes, and I wrote it from the wrong point of view. You know, really minor things like that! Haha. I reached the word goal but did not finish the story. And I'm pretty sure I won't. It's just crapy writing. This is the first time I have attempted to write anything even close to this long, so it doesn't really bug me. It was a learning process and next year I'll be ready with a god plot line, character sketches, and hopefully better dialouge writing! Since I told basicaly everyone I know I was doing NaNoWriMo (so I wouldn't back out) people naturally want to read my story. I keep telling them no because it's really bad. I mean, did you see my reasons above? Obviously I don't want people reading that! But they don't understand. They are simply impressed by my attempt at writing a book (and rightly so) they're not factoring in that I'm not a proffesional writer (which sadly I am not). I even had a friend on facebook tell me that I should get my writing to where I  am comfortable with others reading it! At first I was put off but then I just had to laugh. That is kind o the goal. But obviously this person has never attepted to write a novel. I know the difference between good and bad writing. I do not want to let people read crap. That isn't fun for anyone. They wouldn't enjoy reading it and there isn't any constructive critism to be given. The best they could do is say, " wow this really doesn't work! There are some good spots but overall it's a mess." which I already know! So I don't really see the point in that excersice. Seems like a waste of time to me! Eventually I will write something I will let others read. Just not now. Oh! Totally off topic, but I got a formspring account! Go ask me ridiculous questions! http://formspringme.com/chrystieness I think that's all for now. Oh! Except I am at work and typing this on my new iPod touch, Luna, whom I absolutly love! Cheers!
