I never thought I would ever say this, but I think I actually found a group of people crazier than me. And I've come to the conclusion that theater people have no boundries when it comes to expressing themselves.....especially when you add a little drinking to the equation.

 My little Germany trip started out early. I only got 3 hours of sleep cause I had to do so much laundry that night. And i ended up flodding the laundry room....ooops. But anyways, I went with my friend Melissa in her car. We didn't really get lost because she has a GPS system in her car, but when she programed  the route, it took us that long way. It was supposed to only be a 9 hour drive....it ended up being 12 because we ran into traffic on the autoban. We left earlier than everyone else and we got there almost last! But we didn't have to pay a lot of tolls either so that was a plus. Well when we got there, there we a couple of people aready there and had slept and relaxed so when everyone finally showed up, we went to eat at TGI Fridays. Let me tell you, that is the only thing that i am jealous of. The air force doesn't have that but the army does??? WTF?! It felt like i was in the US for a split second. We ate and started drinking and after that we went to the bar and that's where it started getting alittle out of control.

 Well for one, they were having karaoke that night, so of couse we stole the show. But add a little liquor and beer and the songs got a little interesting. It was so weird. I had never walked into a bar with a crowd and just acted like we owned it. It was probably because there were a lot of guys there and there were some girls, but come on lets face it, AF girls are way better looking than the Army girls. Right as soon as we get in there people started showing their wild sides. And now, i can't ever look at them the same. It was almost like i was intimidated by them. I'm usually rowdy and real talkative when i'm drinking. Well on this occasion, i wasn't. I spent most of the night watching everyone else be silly. It's like they took my thunder! Which is fine, because sometimes i need to be mellow. But what really shocked me was that i already had like 5 beers and i didn't really feel anything but sleepy. Melissa finally got me to to some tequila shots. We took two and i could finally feel the alcohol running though my system. Well near the end of the night, i started talking a little more to this guy that i thought was really cute for a while and with my liquid courage i asked him out..I know i know i really don't do that type of stuff....but it never dawned on me that he had another love interest that was with us on the trip! And it all of a sudden clicked at the end of the night. So when i woke up the next morning...i felt so embarrassed (and i had a little hangover). So me and Melissa woke up early the next morning to get some shopping in. I had brought a pair of nice black slacks to wear to the awards show, but then i saw what everyone else was wearing and i had to go look for something else to wear. I kid you nnot, it was like i was going to prom. If i knew that it was going to be so dressy, i would have had my mom mail me my formal gown to see if it still fit! But luckily, i found a cheap dress because i had already spent over 100 euro at H&M. And if ya'll haven't discovered H&M yet, you are missing out. It's like Old Navy prices, but a better quality of clothes! So after that i realize that i didn't bring anything to do my hair with and neither did Melissa so we had to find the PX which as so freaking hard because it was separated from the rest of the post, and it looked like a warehouse...too weird. But we finally got one and we were running out of time so we didn't get to really sight see anywhere. So we went back, changed, and waited for everyone else to get ready because the show was about to start and people were already drinking. Well when we get there, some of the cast members were already seated and i sat by on of my cast memebers, with Melissa by my side. But then i saw someone that i would have never thought was going to come. My friend Joe had brought his fiancee and his friend Jason. i knew both of them though another friend Jenn because Joe's finacee, Bonnie was really good friends with her and Jason used to date Jenn. Also, Jason works in the same squadron as Roland. So as luck would have it, i ended up sitting by him and we got to talking and he had remebered a while back when our mutal friends had introduced us. But i think that Melissa and Joe had pre planned the seating arrangement. During the show everyone was drinking and i ran out of my wine in the middle of the act so i went up to get more wine. Well sure enough, Jason follows me and offers to pay for my drink! Okay, he scored some points for that. So we get  back to the table...the show ends. We got 6 trophies and 9 nominations at the end. We should have got best musical, because lets face it, Sondheim is pretty hard to do. So then he asks me what everyone else was doing. We were all going to the bar again, but i didn't think that he wanted to go because the night before he had backed out on TGI Fridays. But he ended up showing up and we didn't start hanging out till that very end of the night when i attempted to play pool. i was pretty drunk about this time. But Melissa kept on telling me that him and Joe were talking about me...and i'm oblivious to that kind of stuff. But when she said that, i automatically thought that they were talking bad about me because that's what a lot of people do which i brought some of it on myself, but most of the time i didn't. By the end of the night everyone ditched me and we walked home and ended up in his room. We talked until 4 in the morning then i attempted to walk home, i think i fell because i had grass all over my jacket........

 The next morning, me and Melissa leave for home and i was so tires that i fell asleep in the car. Jason and I are supposed to go out tonight, but i'm kind of apprehensive because one: He's leaving in June forever, and two: He dated one of my friends. I don't think they speak anymore and i really don't talk to her, but i still feel weird about it. and he is way older than me i think he might be in his early 30s. Ugh..enough writing i have to go to the doctor. My ear has been hurting since this weekend and i can't hear anything out of that ear. I hope it's not infected!
