Yee Haw!

"Honey, WATCH OUT FOR THE DEER!!!"
Have you ever noticed your own facial expression when some random person calls your name? I took note of it at school the other day. . . I realized that I do the old "Deer in Headlights" look when my name is called. Shocked, lost, scared... until I see the face that matches the voice. I'm pretty sure it's not all that attractive. I was thinking that movie stars must have to practice the cool, calm and collected look, for anywhere, anytime and any situation. How often do you see Nicole Kidman looking like she was just struck by lightening? Never! Take note of yourself next time this happens to you, I think that you'll learn a lot about yourself, as I did :) Oh Nicole, if only I could be more like you. Actually, come to think of it, the only Nicole I'd ever want to be is her part in Moulin Rouge... sigh... what a tragic movie...
Anyways, my whole point here is that Nicole Kidman, among many Holleywood stars, really is poised, and I ... I am not so much.

Ride 'em Cowboy
That's okay though cuz I'm a cowgirl! Well a fake one to say the least... I always feel guilty singing "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson because she is the real thing, and I'm just a poser (However, I can still sing "I'm here for the Party" with all of my heart). Actually, I never knew I could be so "cowboy'd" out! Thursday I came home from school and fell asleep on the couch watching CMT, which I almost never watch, but really should cuz country music is really where it's at. When I woke up Chad called to say we're all gonna wear our cowboy hats and pearl snap shirts to the Longbranch that night. Okay then! Well since I am STILL car-less until tomorrow night, I of course had to get a ride, meaning that once Lynnel and I got there, there was no leaving until someone else wanted to... scary situation. I hate more than anything being stranded. Most people know that if I'm going somewhere with a bunch of people, I almost always drive, JUST IN CASE. Because we waited in line for TWO FREAKING HOURS!!! I was not a happy cowgirl. I would've gone home if only I had a vehicle there. It was very annoying because there was about 8 of us and we were all decked out, and they really should've let us in. Ah well, once we got in by 11:30 we had ourselves a great time, we danced the night away. I was impressed by the boys' willingness to get out on the dance floor and have fun, and they all got better at two stepping as each song went by. Anyway tonight I went out somewhere else for a birthday and was with some people who really CAN two step, so that was fun. Dancing is some of the best exercise that there is. At least tonight I didn't fake being a cowgirl, cuz I know you can see right through the fake ones. That fact was confirmed at the Longbranch, when a guy came up to me and said,

"Ma'am, I thought I should just let you know... you have your cowboy hat on backwards."

And with that, he tipped his hat and galloped away on his horse into the sunset. It was incredibly romantic.

Goodnight ya'll.

P.S. Feel free to comment on New Year's Eve weddings while you're here, even though I didn't talk about it tonight! Don't be shy!!!
