adventures.

adventure number one: i finally got my hair cut today. :]

before:


after:


i've been meaning to do it for a while now. i almost made an appointment last time i was in vegas with the lady who cut it for my birthday. then i got sick, so it didn't work out. plus deepa's friend hannah is just finishing up beauty school, and deepa kept telling me that i should let her cut my hair. hannah has been cutting deepa's hair so much lately. seriously, every time i see deepa, she has a new hairstyle. ha.

anyway, i'm so happy with it. we'll see how it looks when i style it on my own, but i'm definitely excited about how much less time it will take to dry and straighten my hair. :]

adventure number two: last night.

we decided to have a girls' night because deepa's friend was visiting from boise. we met up for dinner at bangkok cuisine. a clear favorite within our group. it turned out to be one of the most hilarious meals ever. we had five [slightly loud] girls sitting around this big round table, and at one point, we looked around and noticed that the rest of the tables in the entire restaurant were filled with couples. meanwhile, we had two newly single girls talking about how relationships suck. :]

after dinner, we went to the chocolate bar for some dessert.
the fondue is the best ever. and i always forget to take a photo of it. ah well. at least we managed a group shot outside. [photo order is deepa, me, roxana, marissa, and natalie.]

after that, we headed downtown. we had a table at 210, which was nice. you get to have your own private little area to hang out. there are couches to sit, plus space to dance. so either way, you are pretty much good to go.

the only problem was that the business fraternity at unr had a table that night too. and way too many people. annoying people. [i never did like the business majors, no offense to any of my readers.] they kept trying to invade our space. deepa and roxana are friends with one of the bouncers, so when his shift ended, he was hanging out at our table and keeping them out. but at one point, natalie and i were left alone at the table with instructions to keep them out of our space. so we did. and one of the few girls who was hanging out with those yucky business majors decided to be rude to us. well. mostly just to me. i was going to just ignore it, but it sort of upset me. so. i told deepa and roxana about it. and then i pointed out the girl. [she was wearing a very memorable and recognizable too-tight purple dress.] and then the girl got kicked out [where she could join some of the other yucky business majors who had acted like fools] by our bouncer friend. but not before roxana and deepa talked to her. the only line that is clear in my mind was roxana responding "i'll break your face!" to the girl when she asked deepa and roxana what they were going to do about her being mean. by that point, natalie and i were laughing so unbelievably hard that i don't remember much of what happened. but i was no longer upset.

soon the yucky business majors cleared out. my guess is that they'd had too much to drink and wanted to join their friends who'd already been kicked out. then some of natalie's football player friends from boise joined us. at which point i was accurately described by one of the guys as "the mellow friend who stays sober." yep. pretty much. :]

the rest of the night at 210 can be summed up by this photo:
ha. i actually danced a little bit too. i just wasn't as brave as deepa, so i stayed away from anyone i didn't know, like these basketball players for example.

after i dropped the girls off at home, i stopped by tonic to visit my friend scott. i only stayed for about twenty minutes. by this point i had nearly lost my voice and was getting tired. but it was nice to see him and catch up briefly.

it felt nice to shower and crawl in bed after this long [but fun] night. luckily i didn't have work today, so the four am bedtime wasn't too painful. i just had to wake up around ten to get ready for my hair adventure.

tomorrow = work + laundry + cleaning.
not nearly as much fun as these adventures, but oh well. :]
