Stuff going on in my head..

Crazy, CRAZY people! Wait, what am I saying? They're so what we're going to be when we're 40!!

Oh my gosh. I am amazed everytime I hang out with Trish and her "crew", because I see more and more similarities between them and "us" (MTH people). It's uncanny. So, Friday night we went to this local restaurant, Cafe 541. It's cute, but not that great and kinda expensive. But, it's the company that counts. So, I think there were about 12 adults, and 3 kids (Trish's and another little girl). So, first similarity.. LOUD! And drawing attention from the whole restaurant! SOund familiar? lol. I don't think they go anywhere without making a scene. So, we were all talking at once, laughing etc.

Wait, first let me get all these people straight for you.

Trish: work with her, take care of her kids, husband is Clint who can't be described with words. I think I am most like Trish...
Lori: Trish's friend, rode with her to Gatlinburg, husband Jimmy just came home from Iraq, they have a son JJ/Jimmy/James (he goes by all 3- I'll stick with JJ) Lori reminds me a lot of KM
Codi: another of the girls, husband Rick, recently married, no kids. She reminds me of Tucker
Evelyn: single (divorced), big red hair, very particular about her hair, clothes and makeup. She soooo reminds me of Lauren.
Rebecca: she's the youngest, I think, married to Brian (who's a pretty boy), she has a 22 year old son in Florida. She reminds me of Amy
Jules: she's married to someone, I'm not sure, and has 2 little girls. I've only met her once, so I'm not sure who she would pair up with..

Ok, so you can refer back to here if you get confused. So, first I must tell you about riding to Gatlinburg with Evelyn and Lori, just so you get the whole story, and see why I say they remind me of who they do. Lori was riding in the passenger seat, me in the back seat. She was yelling and swearing at the other drivers, telling them to get out of the way, etc etc etc, telling us how she'd be driving if she were driving. (which is why I say she reminds me of KM.. ) Evelyn, everytime we stopped, had to reapply her make up, fluff her hair, etc. She brought like 5 pairs of shoes and had about 3 outfits each day. And, while Lauren has calmed down a bit, it still reminded me of her and putting makeup on to go rent a movie or go to the gym. ;-) So, while we were driving, they were talking about their kids.. and Lori starts talking about her son, and shows me a picture, I think it was his senior pic, at least a few years old. But still, he's hot! Ok, so now we fast forward to Friday night. After we'd been sitting for maybe 10 mins, Lori's son comes in. :-O Much better looking in person. About 15 mins later they went around the table and introduced me & Meda to everyone we didn't know. There were quite a few new faces, all of whom I'd heard about, of course. Anyways, after we caused a big scene leaving, we get outside and people are trying to decide what's going on. I walked out and JJ kinda stopped me and was like "Hey, Nicole, it was nice to meet you" I didn't think anything of it, it was pouring down rain and I was being a door clog. They couldn't decide where they were going, so I was like "ok, bye, I'm going to the gym I need to work out." So, when I got to my car from the gym, I had 3 missed calls from Trish and another Clarksville number. So, I called her back and she was like "well, um, we're over here playing cards at Lori's, and JJ's here and he thinks you're cute, and wants you to come over and hang out" :-O Dude. A hot guy thinks I'm cute, I'm so there. So I told her "let me get ungross and I'll be there". I tried to call KM and Lauren, but they weren't home so I couldn't spaz. :-P Punks. So, I went over and we played phase 10 till about midnight thirty. Crazy. I didn't actually get to talk to JJ about anything other than what came up over cards, but he seems nice enough. So, Trish, being her un-bashful self, was like "JJ, don't you want Nicole's number so you can call her?" So, I gave it to him and when I left he was like "Thanks for coming all the way over here" Cute. So, we'll see.

Then Saturday night, we went to O'Charley's for Ricks birthday dinner, with even more people. And more alcohol, so people were a bit louder. It was hysterical. Lori & her husband and mom came in after most of us were there and she says to me "We left JJ at home sleeping (he lives in Nashville, btw), but he wanted to come, but has to be to work tomorrow morning." So, I'm not sure what that meant, but they were all "selling" him to me being that they were all around when he grew up. So, we'll see. Trish and I will have to conspire tomorrow and see what the plan of action is. But, the dinner at O'Charleys was too funny. Evelyn, being like Lauren, had to ask the waiter 20 questions before she could order her meal... Codi had a couple beers and got a little loud, they were doing cat calls and whistles when the waiters sang to Rick.. then we tried to make a mass exodus and realized no one had paid, so we milled around for a while. I swear, it's like being around my own people!! ;-) They're going to be my new best friends. Then, we went to Rick & Codi's to play more cards until about 1am. And they were all shocked to hear me say bad words and talk! But, that's how I get when I play cards, but they're just like it. Trish, Jules and Lori, Friday night were yelling "bitch!" "whore" "hussy" etc. It was too funny. Oh my. I'm going to miss them when I move. Each day I think it's getting harder to think about leaving. =( But, it's just as hard to think about being so far away from home too..
