the emotions of a night can be many and diverse. tonight was such a night. from the opening awkward moments of 40-50 people sitting in a room, to hearing them belt out songs like "livin' on a prayer" and "the rose"....and getting so tired that we laughed about everything and broke many things. or i should say derek broke many things. including the love-heart candelabra that chris got in the gift exchange. i, the "curb-side prophet with my hand in my pocket" received a rocket. my contribution to the recycled gift exchange was the 'shall we dance' dvd, which shaun got. it made me feel special because he kept my homemade wrapping paper all pretty and nice - he liked my drawing!! it consisted of strings of lights. not faulty blue christmas lights, but just normal ones. those are too hard to draw.
other thoughts of the evening: john and michelle are leaving, i'm going to miss them! a table of girls, both young and "experienced" talked about boys and boy things and expectations and vulnerability. always interesting and eye-opening and challenging. i met some really awesome people, but didn't get all their names - bummer. we had a pinata, that was fun. i'm rambling now. no DDR tonight, but oh the karaoke and off-key singing. i may not have a voice on the morrow. but i got a rocket, and i like it. jen and i are enjoying tea to make us sleep...funny, i guess we should actually get into our beds to do that. i have no sheets on my bed. i should put them on. jen says this must be an intense post, it's so long. but it's not. i'm just tired and overall, happy. i have a nice rocket. good night.
