So i'm new here, but I have this little ditty. i'll write more soon, but i thought i'd share what i have so far. let me know what you think!

So what do you want to know about me? My name is Sookie, I'm 21 years old and a math major at UNLV. I don't like the desert and the bright lights. I do like the warm weather and my friends. If you haven't already guess it, I am a huge nerd. I love to read, I actually enjoy doing math problems, and I can easily lose track of time and waste an entire day playing computer games. I'm one of those people - a music snob: I read pitchfork daily and I love it whenever anyone gives me the chance to say "ugh, I used to listen to that band years ago." I guess some people would call me "indie" but you won't find any flannel in my closet and I prefer high heels to converse. I swear by the J Crew catalog and have an extensive collection of headbands.
Now prepare yourself, because any notions you may now have of me are about to be shattered.

Nah, its not my name. Oliver James is the name of a song I like: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=80EvSBwm2Bo

Another thing you should know about me i that I love free stuff. It doesn't matter what it is; if it's free, I will take it. I've dined off of the free samples at Costco many more times than I'd like to admit. I've joined numerous clubs at school that I had no interest in because the meetings promised free pizza. It's more than just food though, I love the free trials of shampoo and conditioner you get in the mail and am a huge sucker for buy 1 get 1 free sales. So when my friend rings me up on Saturday afternoon saying he got a bunch of free tickets to the opening of some swanky nightclub on the strip that would normally never allow such commoners like ourselves inside, how could I say no? Free booze? Count me in.

These things aren't really my scene, I tend to prefer bars to clubs. Somewhere my friends and I can commandeer a table and just sit and drink and laugh late into the night. But variety is the spice of life, right?

There are going to be just 3 of us tonight, the one who got the tickets, Jared, my best friend who I've known since freshman year and my roommate Jess. Jared and I had OChem together that first semester and quickly discovered we had a mutual hatred for everyone else in our class. A bond like that lasts many lifetimes. We have the same taste in everything, from music to movies to food and have wasted many days just sitting on a street bench staring at people, trying to guess what their life stories are. Jess, on the other hand, is nothing like me and that is why we work so well together. The best way to describe her is glamorous. I think she was meant to be famous, but she insists that I am crazy and just imagine it. On multiple occasions, she has had the paparazzi mistakenly photograph her at the airport. It's because she has that air about her, but she claims "It's just because I'm tall and skinny and its Las Vegas." Either way, she does love all things fancy and fabulous, and I'm pretty positive she would never forgive me if we didn't invite her to join us tonight.

As soon as I tell her about the tickets she squeals, "Oo! Can I do your hair and make up, pretty, pretty please? You can't show up to a place like this looking like a librarian, like you usually do." I am getting flashbacks of 6th grade and makeovers and slumber parties, but I agree. I'll let her work her magic, and maybe tonight I'll be the one thats confused for a celebrity.

2 hours and a manicure, facial, and 30 hot curlers later, I must admit I look pretty good. She lets me borrow one of her dresses, a short little black number that scoops low in the back and the front with cap sleeves. It probably sounds pretty plain to you and it probably is, but too me this is about all I can handle. I add some black tights and my favorite red pumps and we are ready to go. Go big or go home, right?

We get to the club, walk right up to the velvet ropes, show our golden tickets and are quickly ushered inside. My ears are immediately flooded with the bass of the house music and have to shout, with exaggerated hand gestures just so they understand, to Jess and Jared "Me. Bar. You. Wait." They nod in agreement and then keep it moving to the beat of the music as I turn around and walk towards the bar. As I'm waiting for my drinks, some guy next to me tries to start up a conversation, "This is a pretty cool place, huh?"

We both know he sounds lame and I could be nice and humor him but the music is already starting to get to me and I can't help but say, "Yeah if unbearably repetitive music and several pretentious rich 20-somethings are your kind of thing" He seems slightly taken aback by the sharpness in my voice and for a spit second I feel sorry when I see his puppy dog brown eyes and ridiculous paisley shirt. I can't help but think that this can't possibly be he kind of scene either. Just as I'm about to apologize, the bartender hands me 3 vodka sodas and the thought slips my mind.

"Have a goodnight," I say as I turn around and walk back to my friends, already forgetting what he looks like as I begin to think about how many drinks its going to take to dull this music thumping in my brain.

I bet it's RYAN!!!
only cause you said paisley.

I could be entirely wrong though.
