Wow I wrote in small font and filled the entire page. This better have something interesting happen!

I saw Ricardo at work today. It took me a while to get courage enough to talk to him. once I did we talked all the time. I didn't get to talk to Carlos much - I didn't even know he was working for most of the day. I snooped into Ricardo's life & found out he's 22, married, and she's pregnant.

Why was I so shy? And then so nosy the same exact day?!? This is not surprising. I haven't changed.

When I went home I was the only person on the bus the whole time. I sat in the front & the bus driver & I talked the whole time. Wow, this does shock me. Joe tried to get me to stay til closing. I said yes, but didn't want to, so Jamie said she'd work the extra hours. Thank you Jamie. What an awesome friend you are!

Marcy & I were hungry so we went to the Gooding's area & ate at Perkins - terrible service the shuttle never picked us up, so we had to get a taxi home. Around 11:30pm, Sarah, Macy & I went over to Benji's party. 

Back up - when I came home from work there were 6 red roses for me from David with an apology note attached. I bet you I still have that note.

Ok, the second I walked in the door Juan saw me & talked to me. Everybody wad drinking & smoking. Everybody kept trying to get me to drink, they didn't realize I was having Sarah's & Marcy's. Wait, what?!? I was drinking my roommate's drinks?? I do NOT remember that!! It was lemon juice, water, fruit punch & vodka. They dumped a ton of vodka in right before Marcy got her cup. VERY STRONG!

Juan and Benji - our bartenders, if you will.

Alejandro talked to me more than ever before. Seriously he was so cute, too! Benji smiled & waved at me like usual. David showed up, so I had to forgive him & thank him for the flowers. I got to talk to Bassey, too. Dan showed up. He was pretty much a wallflower, too, so I felt good about that. I'm so shocked Dan was a wallflower. He had such a cool demeanor about himself. I wouldn't picture him as a wallflower at all. 

Benji brought out their Jello shots. They were very, very strong. Basically straight bourbon & rum (according to my mom). Sorry Mom, pretty sure you are way wrong on that. I was brave & did it. Security came twice, so the party ended. 

Jello shots! Do YOU have photos of your first Jello shot??

Marcy got to talk to this guy, Stacey, that she was checking out. He's going to call her (at least he's supposed to). I don't think he ever did. Everybody went to Alejandro's after Benji's party stopped. Nick didn't want us there, so we went to 1804 or something.

Oh boy - and this next section explains why Vista Lay Way has a certain nickname! 

It was lame, so Sarah, Marcy & I went swimming - 1:30am. 2 people had sex in the pool while Sarah was there. Marcy and I came home before so we could go to bed. Finally, around 3am - after me spitting cracker on marcy & knocking over 2 glasses, we went to sleep.

That right there is a completely typical night at Vista Way!!

Ooh, our next post is a good one.... "my boy" Vinny finally makes his appearance and it was a day we STILL talk about to this very day!
