Salsa Drama

Why is that when i'm not dancing/feeling sick/look ugly do guys take notice. Is that the weirdest thing? What prompted me to say this? Well, at around 9 (while i was watching Step it up and Dance!) my friend called me and said it was a long overdue salsa time! We were meeting around 10.30, so i got ready at 10. I've been coughing all day, so my throat is pained. Anyways, we met at my older sister's apartment. Me and two girls went to Copa first and met 3 other girls there. I wasn't feeling well and started to cough a lung out, so i sat down most of the time. As the night progressed, more and more guys kept asking me to dance. Some i would agree (so that one couldn't call me a party pooper) and others i would refuse. I met really interesting people. My favorite old guy wasn't there. That was a major disappointment! I met him the last two times i went and was really hoping to reunite! I hope he's alright. Anyways, i met a professor teaching at UT with a degree in chem? His name is Rod. Isn't that a funny name? Then, there was a guy name Fidi/Fido, i can't remember. He was charming. Fido reminded me of my friend's friend because he couldn't really dance. He used me as a guinea pig to try some of his "cool" tricks. They were kind of cool, i have to admit that. The next character i met, i nicknamed him "drunk snake." It was because he was drunk and moved like a snake. NOTE**: i met these people throughout the night, starting from the time i got there, 11.30ish, to the time i left, 2ish. Drunken snake is really funny when he danced with my friend. He has some crazy moves for a little guy. It was probably 1ish when i danced with him. I refused several times before because i wasn't feeling well. We danced and i had a good time. Then, we had a talk. He's a very nice old man! I don't remember what he said because he was yelling in my ear, but what i did make out, i really valued. Thank you drunk snake. After that, i perked up my mood and made the best of the remainder of the night. I danced with this mustache man that was so funny. He made me look like i actually had some move/groove, which is quite impressive. When i sat down to take a breather, a guy comes over to talk to my friend. Then he slinks over and talks to me. After awhile, he suddenly left. I didn't think anything of it, until i saw him play the congas! He was part of the band. I think it was his part-time gig. The guy's name was Laodo (sp?). He was really sweet. By the time my friends and i were ready to leave, he asked for my number! I was so shocked. I told him i already had a bf and that he was going to get in trouble. And then, my friend also said that i had a bf. Poor guy. I've never been on the receiving end of rejection, but i would hate to be rejected. He seemed like a really cool guy, possibly a cool friend. Oh well, i'll never know.

When we left Copa, my sis decides to meet her other friends at Tin Can (?). Everyone else wants to leave because it was getting late. My sis tells us to go home and she starts walking off by herself. How annoying! I can't just let her walk alone! So i ran after her and made sure she was ok. As we were walking, i told her about the Laodo thing. She goes, "Well, you should've said you had a bf. You said the right thing. I met someone in MX and that didn't turn out well." I don't understand how you comprehend that situation but not your own?! GAH! One of the reasons why i wasn't "feeling" it tonight is because i found out that my suspicions are true. My sis has been dating this guy for about 3 weeks (roughly a month!) and she didn't tell me. No, she lied right to my face. So not only was i sick today, i was upset, disappointed, irritated, annoyed, etc. I should never let my sister or anyone ruin my night. Anyways, when we got to the place, they wouldn't let me in, so my sis leaves me outside while she goes in after her friends. All of a sudden, this gay guy walks up to me and starts saying how he needs help. He needed me to be his "friend" so the hobo stalker would stop following him. At that time, my sister suddenly appears and starts getting all sisterly. It was weird. Apparently, she called our other group of friends to pick me up so that she could stay with her other friends. What the heck.

I've been trying to get rid of this cough all day. I think it's a result of mucous build-up. So when i showered this morning, i tried to spit out a loogy. I've never really done it before so i thought i would try. I see my friends and bf do it all the time, so i tried to channel them. The first attempt was awful. It was a dribble of spit that landed on my foot! I'm such an idiot. The next attempt was a little more successful, but it still trickled down my chin. I decided to wait till i was out of the shower to try the third time. When i was was dry and dolled up, i coughed up a lot of gunk and spat it into the toilet! It looked really nasty, but i feel so proud. It felt like a titanic moment, when jack was teaching rose to spit. Yay!!

I think one of the most memorable moments of the night was sitting in my friend's car. She just learned to drive and so we decided to take her car out for the night. She has a van! Not just any van, it's a mommy van. It also smells really bad. Apparently, she left raw meat in there for 2-3 days. She brought it back from home and forgot about them in the van. So when i first opened the door, i was nearly taken over by the sickening smell. It was just awful. The smell was so bad, my sister grabbed an air freshener and sprayed the car while i ran around and opened all the car doors. I've never smelled anything that putrid in my life. Someone could definitely mistake that smell for a dead skunk, or maybe even worse. That's just disturbing. It's 4 in the morning, so i'm going to hop into bed!
