This Was The End Of The Weekend
Oh goodness, I don’t know where to begin but at the beginning.
Wednesday
I got the brackets for my braces put in. My mouth was so sore afterward because the attendant had to mold the back bracket around my teeth but was having trouble and had to keep stretching out my face in order to insert it. She had been yanking on it so much that it got ridiculously dry and scabbed a little on my face throughout the weekend. Yes, that hurt. I had to miss all of my classes for that so I ended up taking care of my errands… last minute packing, dropping off the cake, getting my manicure and pedicure. The whole deal.
Then, dinner finally came around. JYL stopped by to just drop off a present and left. A part of me is a little disappointed but considering that she was going with me to Las Vegas, I let it go. I had quite a few people show up. EC gave me a bouquet of pink roses and a box of Godiva dark chocolate. Okay, I have to admit that as nice as that is, I feel as if it was so generic! Perhaps there is some reason behind all that, but I think I’ll let it go. I had a hard time trying to figure out his gift from Vegas too. The night was pretty awesome. I had dinner, shots, and my first hangover! Okay, it was very short-lived, but at least it was there! (I had to wake up to pee at some point during the night and felt awful. I fell asleep again and woke up fine)
Thursday
EC left early in the morning to head to work. I hated letting him leave, but I had to. I needed to get up to take my Vietnamese midterm and then get ready to fly out. JYL and I flew in pretty okay. Las Vegas was windy but it was warm. We got to the room at Caesar’s, which was completely awesome. We got a pretty view of the Bellagio water show from where we were staying. NN, JYL and I went downstairs for a bit to just walk around. When the others had arrived, we headed back upstairs to get dressed and ready to start the night.
E, RS’s housemate (RS = NN’s boyfriend), has some friends living in Las Vegas, so they were able to get us into Blush, a nightclub at the Wynn hotel. I was expecting a dance club, but it was more of a lounge. At first, I didn’t mind. They hooked us up with bottle service so that was nice. However, it was a bottle of Belvedere vodka and after the lady had mixed the first drink, I decided that I hated it. It was awfully strong and tasted nasty. JYL wasn’t a big fan of it either and we both came off as a bit ungrateful. I didn’t mean to; I was just expecting something different and was taken by surprise by what I was given. It was nice of them to get us all of that, but it was not the scene I was prepared for.
Friday
JYL and I woke up relatively early, but then realized that we all needed to wake before 11 since we were moving out of Caesar’s and into the Paris hotel across the street. We were uncertain if we would be able to check-in before their normal check-in time, but it was fine. Once we got to the room, we noticed an awful smell, but couldn’t determine where it came from. RS went back downstairs to get us a different room and while he did that, the rest of us were just hanging out. I decided to rest my head on a pillow when I smelled something so fucking awful. When I turned the pillow around, I saw puke. Yes, puke. Before RS came back, another friend called in a housekeeper and she started to take off all the sheets. When she did that, she discovered more vomit at the foot of the bed and that was then we knew we had to leave. Luckily, the new room didn’t stink.
NN, JYL, and I decided to go shopping that day. We walked down the strip stopping by Margaritaville first to get a drink. We ended up at the mall where I then bought my new Halloween costume. I had bought a corset with bunnies on it earlier at Hot Topic, but seeing the mannequin in Frederick’s with that devil costume made me want to switch. So I bought the corset, devil kit (headband, tail, and trident), and the bottom skirt. I don’t like the skirt however and have something at home that works just as well, so I’m going to return that. We were at the mall for quite some time and then we headed back to the hotel to rest and whatnot.
On the way to the mall, we were stopped by a promoter for the Tao nightclub, located inside The Venetian. He gave us free VIP passes and kept checking up on us to see if we were going. By the time we got back to the hotel, we were so tired, we took a nap. NN had decided that she was going to stay in for the night with RS. So JYL and I got ready for Tao since JYL’s friends, CZ and two others, had just arrived. Since we had talked to the promoter, we were able to bypass almost the entire line and got in for free (the ladies anyway). Once inside, CZ proceeded to get us all a round of drinks. I think I ended up making Patron the unofficial drink of the night because starting that night, the only shot I would take would be a shot of Patron. Later on through the night, three more of CZ’s friends arrived, however, one felt sick so she and her friend were told that they had to leave but could come back tomorrow for free. Two had ended up going elsewhere so there were four of us left: CZ, JYL, NZ (CZ’s friend), and I. We were just dancing and having a good time. It was crowded, sure, but I was too buzzed at that point to care. Plus, it helped that they were playing some pretty good music (minus that half hour of complete oldies). I think I was also just excited for a dance floor considering how Thursday night went that made me feel a little more excited.
After that, we couldn’t figure out what else to do so JYL and I went back to the hotel to pass out.
Now, I must end this particular post here since I do have other things to take care of. The updating continues!
