8/15/01

A giddy, fun night out at Applebee’s. Dawn, Ani, Emily, Sean, Jenny, Meg, Grethe, Sonya (why can’t I spell her name at the moment?!), Ellie, Erin, Rob, Brum, Jordan, Val, and Shane were my dinner “companions.” We all arrived around 8, but had to take up the entire waiting “room” until around 8:30. We got some strange looks. 🙂

Then we were shown to that awesome, huge table in the back left corner of the place. Dawn and I “headed” the table. I got my “senior pics” with Ellie, Dawn, and Rob. Those are the only three I’m lacking photos of, especially Rob. I’m really going to miss my backrub bitch. 🙂 Being in English with him sophomore year was amazing…and amazingly fun. He also saved me from Haese. 🙂 I owe him TONS for that.

Played two rounds of telephone –

“Underneath my clothes I’m naked.”

“Ellie likes Casey Casem.”

(or something like that)

I assaulted Brum with jean jacket from the GAP, but when he and Rob found out it was on sale AND from the outlet store, they decided not to kill me. I also stole a bit of Rob’s pizza (quite good), and had a fun time at my end of the table. Val and I talked about homecoming, Shane looked scared (as usual, when he’s around me), and Dawn and I made sexual comments directed towards Ani about the handle of my blondie pan. 🙂 We’re a nutty crew.

Was struck with a rather painful bout of “please-don’t-let-me-puke-on-the-floor” so I gave Val a $20 and made a beeline for the car.

But driving settled my stomach so I did my usual tour of Janesville. I actually have a “set” pattern/route that can be altered, depending on where I start from. It’s soothing and comforting…something I use when I’m feeling disoriented and ill at ease.

But it was a good night. I said my “real” goodbye to Dawn. And saw Jordan and possibly Grethe for the last time (for a while, at least). I’ll see Brum Friday (hopefully!) before he leaves, but he won’t be very far away. And I’m sure I’ll see Rob every so often up at UWM. I plan to. 🙂

A good night.

And tomorrow should be just as fun.
