December 17, 2000 - Sunday
Today was a pretty good day. I slept late of course :-) and when I got up I did laundry.
I ate some of the brie that I had bought before. It was darn nice.
I played a game of Scrabble on my computer but it took forever. I was supposed to
be getting ready for the party, but I played the game instead. Oops. That meant
that when I finally quit playing it was really close to the time that I had to get
ready and leave. Oh dear.
I got to the school where we were meeting people, changed and then went into my classroom
to put on my makeup. While I was doing that, everyone except Justin left. I came
out of my classroom and found him turning off the lights. I wasn't too happy about that.
We got a ride with one of the students to the party place and played the mixing game.
I got a picture frame and a pair of gloves.
The food was nice. There was antipasto, pizza, tarako spaghetti and chicken or fish.
I did a lot of mingling, and talking to students. Everyone seemed to be surprised
that I wasn't drinking alcohol at the party.
After the restaurant party, a lot of us went to karaoke. That was fun. I haven't
been to karaoke in months. Of course I was sick for a long time so I wouldn't have
been able to sing, but I'm fine now. I sang quite a lot...fun! I sang Last Christmas,
Lipstick on Your Collar, Living La Vida Loca, Time after Time, and Blondie's Call Me.
There were a couple of other songs too, but I didn't want to hog the microphone
too much! I actually had a drink there too.
There was a lot of drinking at the party, and unfortunately a lot of spilling! One
person was so drunk that he fell asleep, and another accidentally showed a bit more
of herself than I think she meant to!
After 3 hours we left. It was long enough, but next time I really want to try singing
Pat Benatar...Hit Me with Your Best Shot. I didn't have the nerve tonight because
I'm not really a big fan of hers, but I wanted to try the song.
I went to the washroom after the party and when I came out everyone had left. That
made me feel really good...not. I took the elevator downstairs and met up with some
of the people. It seemed like they were deciding whether to go a ramen restaurant
or not. I don't know, I wasn't really invited, so I announced that I was going home and
left. I walked home in my long dress and boots. It wasn't that bad. I wanted to
walk anyway to normalize my head.
When I came home I turned on the TV and caught the Made for TV adaptation of A Streetcar
Named Desire. I've never seen this version, or any version so I watched it. It was
great. It starred Jessica Lange as Blanche, Diane Lane as Stella, John Goodman as
Mitch and Alec Baldwin as Stanley. I named myself "Stella" because the yelling scene
in the Brando movie was so famous, so I felt it was fitting to watch this version.
It was good, but I've decided to cancel my lesson in the morning. I'm tired from
the party and I just didn't want to be asleep the lesson.
Anyway, I'm going to wash off my make-up and then get myself to bed. See you sometime
tomorrow...maybe!
