I guess I figured out within the last year or so that whenever I'm having some sort of crisis, the best thing I can do that night is be with a friend. Hasn't failed me yet, lol. I headed over to Joe's after work, and we sat around and significantly lowered his handle of Beam, while watching some good movies - Napolean Dynamite, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc. Then Giarla called and said some friends were in town and that he was gonna take us all out to some secret place. So we hop in, off we go, and bam...here were are at one of Roanoke's finest gentlemen's clubs, lmao! So a few minutes later we were all freshly made card-carrying members, and we chilled out there for the rest of the evening.

Now, I have to say, that this being my first trip to a strip joint (seriously, never been before now) that I was mildly impressed. The chicks there were actually pretty hot and talented, and the atmosphere was pretty laid back. So it was cool, even though a bit wierd to be the only non-dancing female, aside from the noticably large and lesbian lady sitting down the row from me, lol.

It was cool to hang out with some old school buddies. Frankie called, and I told him where I was and asked him if he minded if I got a job there. He said no, as long as I didn't start dating any of the other dancers, lol! Good times.

So yeah. Feeling a bit less overcome. I wasn't really as dramatically upset as my previous entries may have seemed to be. Just very thoughtful right now, about some things that keep rolling through my mind time and time again. I don't know if I've made good decisions in the last few years.

At least in these bad times I can enjoy my evening and get a good night's sleep, eh?
