holy balls am i spent. the past couple days i've been in vegas partying with hayes, isabelle, ashwin...and with a few special guest appearances by janet, anne, kim & rachel.
Day 1 - Tuesday
so i wake up early and head over to santa monica to pick up hayes and his "friend"...(don't take this the wrong way but) i was expecting to meet just another horny guy that wanted to tag along for some partying and buffet-cleaning...instead, i was introduced to a nicely tanned texas cutie, isabelle. things were goin' great when we first started talking...but then over the course of the drive to vegas i realized that sweet little isabelle is in fact my exact opposite. first of all, she's a feminist that hates hearing the word, "bitch." secondly, she's vegetarian. thirdly, she's a health/fitness freak that LOVES to walk...to put it in one small word...isabelle is the ANTI-MEL. here's a sample conversation of me and her....
Mel: mmmmm Fat Burger looks goooooooood. Isabelle: eww gross, red meat!! we are not eating there!! Mel: Mel: lets take a cab. Isabelle: but its such a beautiful night to walk around the strip!! Mel: fuck that. i want a cab....(but i don't wanna pay for all of it)....FINE.
anyways, eventually we got to vegas...hayes and isabelle swam a bit (i forgot my board shorts again, damnit)...went back to the room and smoked a bit...then eventually headed out to eat some pizza...even though i was craving for Fat Burger, little miss anti-mel couldn't...so anyways as the night went on...i can't remember what we did after eating pizza...we probably smoked some more...but we eventually met up with their friend Ashwin (pronounced "osh-win"). as soon as we all met up, i caught up with janet & co and we went to Harrahs to get one of those yardstick Long Island Iced Teas (the one with the big ol plastic bottom and a long ass neck)...costed $15 but it was worth it.
we ended up walking around the strip for a long ass time...and i was really really buzzed from the drink....and all eventually decided to hit up a bar. the original plan was to go downstairs (of the hotel that we were staying) and drink at the nearest bar....i was tired as fuck from all the walking earlier...but i decided to go with them...after all, we WERE just going downstairs...
but no...when we get there, they all conveniently decide that we should hit up the Voodoo Lounge at Rio....since i was outnumbered i had no choice but to go with them...so off we went...and...about 1.5 miles and 45 minutes later we get there...only to find out that we didn't meet the dress code...so basically...all that motherfucking walking for nothing...so there i was, all sober & bitching....we all went back to the hotel to talk things over about what to do for the rest of the night...but i passed out.
Day 2 - Wednesday
we all woke up around 12ish and my parents offered to pay for our lunch...at an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet at The Palms...
so after cleaning house, we went to downtown vegas to do some really cheap gambling (25 cent tables). i ended up playing 50 cent roulette for a long ass time....i won about $20 at it....but then i gambled it all away....so anyways...after all the gambling, we bought some bicardi for the night and then headed back.
later that night, we started taking shots of the bicardi...each of us got like 5-7 good shots and then we headed out to the Ghost Bar at The Palms....and when we get there, the bouncers completely laugh at isabelle's (what we all thought was an EXCELLENT) ID and deny her admittance....but at least they were cool and they explained to us why they could tell the ID was fake...so whatever, we talk about it with some stripper chick and somehow i ended up giving her my phone number...(bitch hasn't called me yet...)
anyways, we end up at the Voodoo Lounge and this place was bumpin!!! the live band was fucking awesome and the place was just rockin. hayes decided to pay for all of our drinks...so that night i ended up downing 3 long islands again (keep in mind we had bicardi earlier)...and very shortly i was compeltely trashed. the place eventually closed up so we had to go downstairs....and then we realize how "friendly" the casino is to you when you're completely shit-faced....somehow ashwin ended up blowing a ton of cash at $10 roulette and i was running around telling random people "happy birthday!!!" drunken isabelle and i talked about us and "even though we are complete opposites, we're still cool together cuz opposites attract."
anyways eventually, janet calls me up and tells me they're eating $2 steak and eggs at The Orleans...all of us get there but i ended up being the only guy sticking around with janet & the girls for some breakfast...(ashwin & isabelle were kicked out so hayes had to bring 'em back to the room)...and we totally pig out and then i get dropped off to my room at 5 in the morning, still drunk as fuck...
Day 3 - Thursday
we get up by 10:00 and head out. we were all hungover...but ashwin was by far the worst...the whole motherfucking afternoon he was yacking in my car into a little cup...."uuuuuuuuuwet....uuuuuwet.....uuuuuuuuuuuuuwet " was all i could hear throughout the drive...
anyways, to close things off, i finally had a real vegas experience...which of course included the overload of alcohol and the losing of $150...and i absolutely loved it. i spent 2 bangin' days getting drunk and fuckin' around...got to bond with my HS buddy for his birthday...got to kick it with janet & co...and last but not least, made some new friends in ashwin and my attractive-opposite, isabelle.
