Another first for me..

((FIRST! Not Fist, for you crazy, one track minded readers I might have.. LMAO))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I've been meaning to blog about it since Thursday night. Well, really Friday morning. At the age of 24, I've experienced a major first for me.

That was, I met up with Jimmy at the Nickolden on the Coralville Strip. It's a small bar, and cozy. I liked it. Don't laugh.

How did this happen, you may (or not) ask? I know, I know, I said I was never EVER going to go into one(a bar), but I've been trying to experience new things lately.

We made plans on Thursday night to meet up with each other and watch a few Adam Sandler movies, around nine thirty. Well, he invited me to come down to the Nick and meet his friends. I had an ABSOLUTE blast. I don't drink, but it was so fun to watch everyone else getting stupider in relation to the amount of alcohol that they drank. (That wasn't the only fun part though! LOL)

Jimmy played pool, and found out that one of the guys he meets down there often has the SAME EXACT name as he does, even down to the middle initial! How crazy is that?

We were down there for awhile, talking and they played a bunch of pool (in between their cigerrette breaks.) At around twelve thirty or so, we went over to one of their houses a few blocks away and sat around a fire-pit, talking and them drinking some more. They wanted me to go do a beer run for them, but that's something I refuse to do. That brought on the brilliant idea of one of THEM using MY car for a beer run. I had to laugh, I mean, think about it. I won't do a beer run, but they thought I would let a drunken person drive my car to do a beer run. UM NO. Dorks! Especially when the bar was only two blocks away.

But it's all good. They are pretty cool people, and they invited me down there again, but it won't be this week.

After a neighbor came out and asked us to be quiet, (they had started losing their volume control), Jimmy and I started to think about leaving and going back to North Liberty. We finalized that thought when their voices was back to the high volumes not even five minutes later. We didn't want a visit from a lovely officer in those gorgeous squad cars of those. (That's the nice way to put it...in case you are wondering.)

So, we left and went back to his aunt's house, and he made me breakfast tortillas. They were yummy.. and then we talked more. :) He's a pretty cool guy, and admirable with all the things that he've been through.

I ended up not getting home until around four, but that's okay. It was a really fun night, and I met some new cool people.

So, dear reader...Spill it!! LMAO

Honestly, did you misread the title like I predicted might have?

How old were you when you made YOUR first appearance in a bar?

Meet any cool or interesting people lately?

How boring are my blogs? I mean, really. They bore me sometimes!! LMAO

Please...I think I know you well enough for that thought not to cross my mind, lol.

I think I was maybe 7. I obviously wasn't there to drink though. My godfather used to take me and his daughter to a local bar for pop during the day when really no one was there. The place was called Bramer's. It doesn't exist anymore.

Not really...been too busy falling in love. ;)

Would I always read them (and I do read all of them even if I don't comment) if I thought they were boring. You're a friend, what happens in your life is important to me. ^__^"

I did not misread the title. We all have typos here and there. I made my first appearance in a bar when I was, sad to say, 34. Although I didn't drink. I went there for the great burgers they had as well as a lemonade. lol

No, didn't really meet any cool people there. I try not to look directly at the regular drunks in there. Remember, don't make eye contact. :P

And yes, I really enjoy reading your blogs. You're a great writer, so please keep it up! :)

I've spent too much time in them over the years, I'm on a self ban unless i go with someone I'm with otherwise random trouble and random women find me, last time that happened was back in 04. Hate waking up and thinking "wtf did I do?" lol
It's good to experience new things tho, that's the only way to live your life :D

Good Girl! I am proud of the fact that you are getting out!

I grew up in bars.... My grandparents owned a motel / bar / restaurant...

Bars have never been a big deal to me, unless you count the year that I turned 21.... Other than this.... Not so much!



Have a great week!
