Faux Paz big show last night! I am in the second row, directly to the right (in the picture) of Jackie, the soloist:

I'm so pathetic to be alone on a Saturday night. The girls are going clubbing tonight and I, being only four months from the age of majority, am not. I'm disappointed because this is my first weekend where I'm either not at Faux Paz or at home in a month.There's a part of me that wonders why I'm not with the guys having a boys' night out, but I've never been too close to the guys anyway.

Anyway, last night's big show made up for it. I enjoyed myself. On stage I'm not really nervous but my mind wanders and I've been told I make some very strange faces. At rehearsal on Wednesday Jackie jokes that I'm "the most boring person she has ever seen on stage" and I was horrified. So I've been trying to concentrate on the music and dance around like everyone else does, and it worked. Everyone told me how good I looked - and even better, I felt good doing it.

Afterwards there was a party at Lesley's house out on Adelphi Road. I drank, but not like at retreat, and I was surprised how quick to yell I was after two beers. I got a chance to impress the guys, however, with the beer funnel. I'm surprised how many guys can't take it. I can barely swallow that fast, especially with this long tube in my mouth, but I hang in there. I left at 3:15 this morning. Most people were too drunk to drive, so me and a few others had to walk back to campus. That's a mile, at three in the morning, in sub-freezing temperatures. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad.
