happy new year!

we went out to a club for new year's eve and just returned. it was a mixed gay/lesbian event with go-go dancers. i was staring a little too much at one of the go-go boys i guess because he started motioning for me to come over. you see, everyone was leaving tips in that boy's underwear and well, i was just trying to figure out the source of his power. there were three rooms, each featuring music from a different decade. i thought i'd be in the 90's room but i never heard before the kind of 90's music they were playing so i stuck with the 80's room. one kid asked my why i wasn't dancing. he just couldn't understand how someone could refuse to dance to madonna. i didn't mean not to look like i'm holed up in a corner but i was really waiting for some cool tunes to play. i did make my way to the dance floor before midnight and stayed there for about 2 hours, which is a long time for someone who doesn't dance. there was free champagne for a midnight toast but if you went to the bar to get a glass, you'd miss out on the cash balloon drop. no way was i missing that so i danced my way to the center of it, just like everyone else. we were packed in there tight but it was worth it as i got $30 in balloons i popped which helped to offset my entrance ticket and drinks. i realize i need to go out more but my new work schedule isn't very lenient with staying out at night. here's to 2008! may it be better than 2007!
