This story is continued from this blog entry.
So I sat there watching Everybody Loves Raymond and drinking as much Bacardi Rum as possible. Have you ever noticed how funny this show is? By the time Sheridee came and got me I was very, very happy, if you know what I mean.
She maneuvers me through the casino and out onto Fremont Street. It’s beautiful.
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
Downtown, you’re gonna be alright now
Downtown
Shar and Sheridee have these ginormous slushies. Well I wanted one. So Shar whisked me away to a shop. We again slid past slot machines galore to arrive at the slushy counter. The lady asks what do I want? “I don’t know”, I say, “All the colors!!” She asks me if I want some extra Everclear in my drink for $2 more.
“WHY YES I DO. HOW DID YOU KNOW??”, I respond. She smiles and makes me a gigantisquishy. slurp. slurp. slurp. We head over to the pretty metal ball. People are driving motorcycles in it.
They are awesome!! Then the Fremont Street Experience starts. The lights are so colorful. They start playing 80′s music. I started screaming along to them as we head over to the next attraction. One of those long ribbons hanging from the ceiling where the strong guys dangle from them and wrap them around their legs with no hands and stuff. I’m yelling out the lyrics to the current song as loud as I can.
I come home in the morning light,
My mother says “When you gonna live your life right?”
Oh,mother,dear,
We’re not the fortunate ones,
And girls,
They wanna have fu-un.
Oh,girls,
Just wanna have fun.
Corey takes away my drink. I beg for it back. I need it. All of a sudden this lady says, “Aw give it back to him. It’s Vegas!” I successfully get my drink back. We start singing together. Her name’s Leigh.
I love Leigh!! The guy comes out and starts his ribbon twirling but there is some malfunction and they cancel it. Me and Leigh are screaming at the top of our lungs. But I’m happy. I’m totally snockered. My drink is starting to get lower.
So I slur my good-byes to my new friend Leigh. Everyone leads me too my room to avoid any further embarrassment. WHAT?? I was having fun!!
Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You’re making me dizzy
I watch tv and dose off. Finally at three am I force myself to vomit so I can sleep more comfortably. AHHH WHAT A NIGHT!!
