Myspace is only good for one thing and one thing only. And that, my friends, is to reconnect with old friends.
I had these tickets to Blue Man Group for tonight and had no one to go with me. I was pretty bummed because they weren't exactly cheap, but oh well. I had just decided to stay home and clean, especially since we were supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow. I was changing my call tone on my cell phone because for some reason my friends didn't like the I Hate Everything About You song that I had playing (go figure). Anyway, 10 minutes after I closed my web browser, a new voice message came through. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I only check my messages about once a week, if even that. Well, for some reason I checked this message. I am so glad I did. It was my friend Dan who I went to high school with and hadn't seen in 16 years. Yes, we hadn't seen each other since freshman year. By the way, he was my skater boy that I used to share smooches with in the park lol. Ahh, to be young again...I hope my daughter isn't reading this ha ha. Anyway, he's been on my friends list on my Myspace forever, but we hadn't talked or seen each other. As luck would have it, he was free tonight and was able to go to Blue Man Group with me. He was also starving which meant that I was able to keep my reservations at Fogo de Chao (if you're ever in Chicago, eat there...$50 a plate but worth every penny of it). He had never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before and he loved it.
Blue Man Group was just as amazing as I remembered it to be. We had great seats, in the poncho section, and in the second row from the stage. It was so much fun and I'm really really glad that I decided to use the tickets instead of staying home to clean.
As is typical of Chicago in the winter, there was already about an inch of snow on the ground when we left for downtown, but traffic was light and the roads were clear so we had no trouble getting there. We parked in a garage and just cabbed it for the night. Very convenient. Getting home was a completely different story. By the time we left, the snow was falling at least an inch and hour and the roads were terrible! What typically is a 20-30 minute drive took 1 1/2 hours! Can you believe it? 1 1/2 hours to go 20 miles. Wow. But we laughed about it.
When I was on my side streets I had a little bit of fun making the car slide. I know, what is wrong with me, right? It is so out of character for me to do something so unsafe and, well, childish! But it was fun.
It seems like the old Jenn is coming back. Yay! My friends will be happy I know because they've missed me for the past year. So to all of you who have stuck by me, listened to me cry and complain, and kept your comments to yourself as I made the same destructive choice over and over and over again....I'M BACK!!!!! And I love you all dearly. Muah!!!!!
