I Should Probably be doing my Homework.....and just so you know Im not proof reading this so sorry for mistakes :)

So as some Arete guy pointed out, there are vast gaps between my posts on occasion.  But really, he's one to talk, at least I post sometimes.... :)
Anyway, the reason I do not keep a set schedule of when I will blog can be broken down into multiple reasons:
1. I have a life
2. I have homework
3. I can't always think of what I want to write about
4. Sometimes I begin a post and do not know how I want to end it
5. Seriously, you should see how many drafts I have on here

But today I decided that since my life is insanely stressful and super busy that on my two hour break from work, I would talk about what has been going on in my life! :)

Last week my friend invited me to a Thunder game which was really fun, we went out for dinner with her family and then stayed for the whole game and watched the Thunder absolutely dominate!  Then as we were leaving I got accosted with love by my second family, it was so fun to get to see them and I wish I had been there with them.  That night my second family and some friends went out in Bricktown, and I sadly had to drive my 20 year old friend back to Norman.  I ended my night, alone with Lance and a few episodes of Greys on Netflix.
Then last weekend, my parents went out of town and I had to make the trek up to our home in the city to watch our dogs.  I was less than excited about this because I can't stand being alone.  I was really bummed because all of my friends were busy with this or that, I had dinner with my grandparents and was about to retire to my bed early when Arete texted me saying that he was actually free to do something.  I was so excited because as stated above, I hate being alone and I really wanted to do something with my friends!  So I changed out of my sweat pants into some nicer clothes and I went to pick up Arete and we went to my parents country club and had fancy brandy drinks with wealthy old people.  It was fun, we had a great conversation however we watched the heart breaking defeat of the Thunder at the hands of the Spurs.
After drinks, I gave him a tour of the club because I think it has a pretty cool history and then my Dreaming friend and my Fantasy friend texted and called me saying she/he wanted to do something I was elated because originally I was all alone but soon, I would be with three of my very close friends.  Arete and I went back to my house where we were met by a dreamer and her friend, we all came in from the cold and had a few moments of awkward small talk before we broke out into a game of Harry Potter Clue. The boys were none too pleased to be partaking in such a ridiculous game and would have greatly preferred a rousing game of Twilight or New Moon.  The boys though in the end, ended up being the best at the game, Arete came out victorious.
Soon there was a knock at the door, and behind it was my Fantasy friend!  He came in wearing a very cool wooden tie and began cracking jokes at the Dreamers expense, but they were enjoyed by all of us!
After a while Dreamer and her friend left and it was just Arete, Fantasy and myself, another wave of awkward talking occurred because we had nothing to do and then, Fantasy pulled a deck of cards out of his coat pocket.  And the games began, I don't remember the exact order of events because I think we ended up playing cards for almost four hours but I do recall playing poker and some other betting game in which we turned my animals and objects in the room into our own monetary system. (1 Bella = 50 Nemos) Then we played spades in which I was the champion, we play ERS in which Fantasy dominated and then we moved on to playing odd forms of memory games invented by Fantasy which I was down right awful at and Arete absolutely dominated.
By this point in the evening we were all a little delirious and I believe around 3 or 3:30 we decided to call it quits on the games and we all turned in for the night.
I had so much fun with my friends, I am so happy that I have such an amazing group of friends that, when they know I'm sad or feel left out, they would come and keep me company. :)
This week has been incredibly stressful. I was assigned three papers and a group project in an online class which up until last night at 11pm, no one had contributed to.  I have been so frustrated all week that last night, I joined my friends at the PanAm party.  We danced the whole time but I was so stressed out that it was hard to let loose and have a really fun time.  Twice my friend pulled me up onto the stage to dance which was pretty exhilarating, that was probably my favorite part of the evening, I felt on top of the world, the high from dancing on stage is outrageous.  The night however turned sour whenever I would walk away from my friends, every time, without fail, if I stood still for too long, some random person would be bumping and grinding on my backside.  Okay I have things to say about this:
1. Yes, I like to dance
2. Yes, I like to dance with guys, even if I don't know them.
3. No, I do not like to be grabbed and rubbed up against by someone whose face I never see
4. I greatly prefer being courageous and going up to guys that I WANT to dance with.
That may seem rude, but its just something that bothers me a lot about dances like this, the style in which our generation dances is so impersonal, I just don't enjoy it very much.
Because of the multitude of creepy grinding strangers, I departed the party before the rest of my friends, which does not bother me, I wanted them to enjoy themselves and I never want to be the person who stops others from having fun.
Highlight of the night: Dannon dancing on the table, hands down the greatest part!
Today I am working all day which is.....less than desired by myself.
But tonight! I am going to have a late night sushi dinner with friends :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

The songs of the week are anything by Maroon 5 or from the Tangled soundtrack because I love them!!!

That was kind of intentional, because I said I wasn't proof reading it at all, I was hesitant to leave it that way because of the subtle grammatical error but I found irony in having error in a disclaimer about error. haha :)
