Thursday 1/25, I vacuumed after work and did some other chores like taking all the garbage in the whole house out, that was a big load. I snacked on some stuff and watched tv then went upstairs to take a shower and prep for OC. I called Michael to see if he wanted a ride to Neighbours if he was going but never heard back from him before I got there. OC was a really great episode, so fun! I know I’m a huge dork, but I was laughing out loud and talking to myself the whole time. Fantastic. On the commercials I’d apply a little makeup or put another piece of clothing on so by the time it was over all I had to do was straighten my hair. Talked to Susan about meeting up, finished my hair and took off into the big city. Susan and I arrived at our usual parking spots at the same time so we walked in together and said hi to Travers then went in. We checked our coats right away because it was hotter than hell in there, and stayed that way all night. Some song Susan liked was playing so we hit the dance floor right away. Tye came over in his spandex shorts and said hi, that he liked my Vans and that he painted his first car like that. It took a long time for other people we know to show up and first was Darren, kind of keeping to the sidelines, and eventually during a bad song we found ourselves on the sides as well so he came over and was really carrying on with Susan. About what, I’m not sure, as I was keeping a careful eye out for who was arriving and didn’t want to scare Darren off. Soon Jeff showed up and the two boys went off to dance and Susan and I decided to go join them. So, we’re dancing away, la la la, having a fun time when all of a sudden these two guys come and start dancing RIGHT behind Susan. I look at the one and think, hmm, he looks familiar…where do I know him from? Suddenly I figure it out, panic, yell at Susan “I have to get off the floor right now!” and take off. I knew she’d be right behind me and I could explain there instead of on the floor where I might be discovered. Judging by the shocked and intense look on her face I blurted out “It’s Peter!” then pointed him out to her. She found this to be really hilarious and even commented, he’s short, to which I replied, yeah I know. So then Darren makes his way over at some point as I’m still having a breakdown and Susan gives him the rundown on why I’m frantic and hiding on the side of the dance floor. She even pointed him out and I was mortified. I kept saying, It was so long ago! I’m not proud! I don’t know what I was thinking! I didn’t want to make out with him! It was terrible! Then Teal showed up and I got a delicious kiss on my cheek. The boys disappeared and then Michael appeared right in front of me and I was so excited, I squealed and gave him a big hug. We told him I was hiding out from a guy I made out with forever ago and he laughed and was like “WHERE?!” but I was so embarrassed I didn’t want to show him and luckily didn’t have to because he had disappeared from the dance floor. Phew! So I tell Susan I’m going to go dance by the stairs and Michael told me not to worry now that he was there, aww. I love you Michael! Even though you don’t read this! I love you! So Susan and I head to the back but she was getting dangerously close to the middle of the floor, the same place where P was last seen, so I would wrangle her in then spotted him again. I got the camera out a few times and got a couple of good pictures (of us, not P), especially one that Susan took of M and me. Yum. He told me he’s on myspace now and that I have to ask him to be his friend and post that picture. Will do Michael, consider it done! I’m getting ahead of myself. So M comes over and starts dancing with us and wants to know where P is but he’s disappeared again so I couldn’t show him. I tell Susan she can leave me with Michael and dance with Teal and the Gang if she wants so she heads over to that area and M and I are dancing our cares away. We talk a little about Eric (I know a little more about the birthday night) and how each other’s weeks had been going. He needed a refill and told me he would be right back, and of course, as soon as he leaves I turn and look up on the stage where Tye usually dances and there’s P with his friend. Dancing, I kid not, about 4 feet from me. AUGH! I keep my back to him and keep dancing, telepathically telling Michael to hurry his ass up and come back to me, and he eventually does and I tell him “Ok, he’s right behind me” Him: “In the white shirt?” Me: “No, in the black shirt” Him: “Ewwwww” Me: “I know, be quiet!” Michael just kept looking up there and laughing and finally Susan came back and she kept looking up there and was like “Um, Karrah? I don’t think you have to worry about him, he’s really giving it to that guy” Hm. Must be bi. Whatevs. Now I’m going to be checking his blog like crazy to see if he writes anything about it. It was so hot in there and we were all dancing up a storm and I was so sweaty it was disgusting. But at least I was burning a ton of calories. It was like a sweat lodge or something. So Michael leaves again to refill and Teal & Co come over and start dancing by us then M comes back over and apparently recognizes Teal because he’s like “Hey!” and then motions like he’s performing fellatio on an imaginary penis right by Teal’s chest. I’m like, Hm, ok, Michael’s so random sometimes. Like patting people on the head that he doesn’t even know. Or yelling “Yeah! I want to go dance with her” to girls who are really breaking it down. Or commenting loudly “Wow, she’s a really good dancer, and I can totally see her ball sack!” I laughed for about 5 minutes after that one. I’d look over at this particular lady and just hear Michael in my head saying “ball sack” plus it was quite a large one anyway and she was making no effort to hide it. Anyway, so the group of us are all dancing and Susan keeps laughing at some of my dance moves, but I think Michael appreciates all of them and we’d really get in sync on some of them though we did kick each other on one of them. PMT (only Susan will know who this is, sorry kids) was lurking around and Michael said he’d met him outside in line and likes him because he was there by himself. I told M that he likes Susan and follows her around the dance floor. Michael said that Susan and I are like lesbians and I yelled “I know, I’m even wearing a wife beater!” He asked whether or not Jeff was gay, and Susan says no but we don't know for sure, so he says, I'm going to find out! I yelled "Michael no!" and mock bit my fingernails in fright. So he didn't. A kind of bad song came on so we decided to head out and as I was saying bye to Michael he told me he was so glad I called him to come out and I told him I think he’s great and love him so much and he gave me the biggest hug he’s ever given me and lifted me off the floor, though barely, cause let’s face it, I’m not a petite girl. Then he gave me a big kiss on the cheek…wait a minute, there was a time when I was getting kisses on the lips from Michael, I’m going to have to rectify that. He said that his friends don’t like to go dancing so he jumps at any chance he gets and that he would be going next week too. Susan was saying bye to PMT and we headed toward the door where we met Teal and Jeff. I talked to Jeff for a little while about Vivace as Susan and Teal talked about something that I can’t write about on here but is so cute, and hot. I got another kiss from Teal on the cheek, we grabbed our coats and headed out. Got a hug from the bouncer who wasn’t there when we came in and we started walking to our cars. The guys who were congregated at the hot dog truck asked us if we were leaving already and we told them yes, with a sassy smile of course, and continued to our cars. Drove home and found that Kassie and Skylar hadn’t arrived yet. Went to bed a little before 2:00.

Wednesday 1/24, I went on a walk after work, only my short one, but it felt really good and the only way that my calves would stop hurting (because I was busting ass) was to start running. So I did. It was really great and I’m getting more and more pumped for Spring to come so I can walk after work while it’s still light. After I got back I hopped in the shower then made dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. I don’t really remember what else I did but it probably wasn’t anything interesting. I know I called Michael but he didn’t answer.
