But I thought it was just for fun!

I have returned safe and sound from the north!

Megbo, Jimbo, Johnny, Ben and myself just spent a much needed weekend away in lovely Niagara Falls. I needed it, believe you me! All I could think of while at work was a delicious cocktail and some good company. Sure, we could have potentially lost our lives in a Buffalo bizzard but we didn't. We should have drank to that. Everyone went to bed buzzed the first night only to gear up for round 2, which I will affectionately call "12 Hour Saturday". We drank for the first 12 hours non-stop...at a restaurant, 2 bars in the casino, a weird 1940's dance hall/Mexican sports bar, another retaurant, and our hotel room. There was no water, no soda, no nothing. If it didn't have alcohol in it, we didn't drink it! And then we slept for the next 12 hours unless we were waking up for aspirin, bathroom breaks, or to beg for an end to the snoring! I won some money playing Roulette, had the best raspberry margaritas in creation, got to see Johnny in my bathing suit bottom (stuffing like a 13 year old would her bra), and laughed more than I have in a long time. Oh, and we saw the Falls where we wrote the new hit song, "Falls In My Face". Brilliant.

Also while in Niagara Falls, I started my record lable which Johnny named SHARK ATTACK! My goal is to put something out for the Yokels when they're ready. Ever since I helped Ray with Rubberband Records, I've wanted to put out something of my own. I'm just gonna do it. Ben is going to guide me along. We're in ca-hoots. We're getting matching robot tattoos. We bonded over Knob Creek which makes us friends for life. Not that I had any doubts.

My love life is yet again in turmoil, which I discovered over the weekend. I'm really ready and anxious to have a boyfriend. I have my "guy" but I want something a little more permanent and concrete. I'm starting to get all wishy wahsy when I see couples holding hands and junk. And there was some talk about me and the ex that made the gears in my head exhausted...how it's too bad we're not still together and how we're more compatible now than we ever were before because we've both changed. It was difficult to hear. Especially when it made things pop in my head. I could see "him" being there with all of us and the two of us goofing off and posing for weird pictures and walking with our arms thrown around each other. It was a bummer to consider. Especially when the guy in my life isn't totally IN my life and doesn't seem to be well recieved by my circle. I know they're looking out for me and say I deserve the best (thanks Ben!) but I made a choice. Now he's just got to choose me, too.

My life is like an After School Special these days. But I love it!
