…so she can understand WHY she needs to come to Las Vegas and so she’s got a good story to read.

I went out Friday night and thought it might be better to do homework, laundry, and sleep on Saturday. A group of five of us ended up going for dinner at some amazing Mexican place in some sketch part of town close to the old downtown Las Vegas – think Rosa’s (but not quite THAT amazing – I had chicken mole and it was tasty).  Pictured here: Liz B, me,  Brian, and Steve (who are both master’s students – they have a separate but similar program for them). Not pictured: Max (he’s taking the picture)

So after dinner, we go to meet up with some of the other interns at a dueling piano bar in New York, New York. Like the MOMENT I step in the door, I have this guy head to toe me like three times, oh, and his friends too, and then he approaches me. He’s an AUSSIE! His name is Craig and he’s here in Vegas for the next week or so with his 11 friends for a bachelor trip for his brother. Side note: this piano bar was not nearly the same caliber as The Big Bang, but it was fun nonetheless (despite all the emo/slow songs requested).

At any rate, we totally hit it off and the rest of the interns are sort of scattered around, so I try to keep tabs on them to make sure they didn’t leave me (although I drove, so I don’t know why that was so important). So I’m dancing with homeboy and he buys me a drink or two, all these boys are more or less wasted and just rowdy and out of control. The general consensus was that I have the most amazing ass ever and they were obsessed – I kind of felt like I was at the petting zoo…but as one of the animals. Craig’s making moves and getting all like protective or something. And there was a little stripping involved. Oh, and his brother pulls out his wang at some point and…let’s just say I’m surprised he didn’t get kicked out. In the picture: Craig, some total creeper who was wayyyy faded, and Wang Boy.

Well, finally homeboy is like, hey, you’re coming to my place. And I’m like, um, no, I’ll walk you home, but I’m going to sleep in my own bed by myself tonight (little did I know). So maybe I AM the world’s biggest tease, but whatever. On the way from NY NY to MGM Grand (right across the Strip), we stopped three times: he bought me a flower, we stopped at a club (and then left straight away), and he lost his room key so we went to the front desk. We get up to the room and the guy he’s sharing it with, Nathan, comes strolling in all in a frenzy (he lost his credit card at some point). So I’m thinking, okay, I’ll just go home since these boys have made it to their final destination – but NO, I get suckered into cuddling. And let’s just say that Craig is pretty drunk and super horny so that was a special experience – I kept telling him he picked up the wrong girl if he’s looking for some action; Nathan, not so much and FAR more respectful. So cuddling fest and some other stuff and finally I get to sleep at like 6-ish, so the sun is already coming up and I got up to leave at 7:45am to head home and get ready for church, etc. Needless to say, I’m TIRED.

The end. And then I got free drinks and some good cuddling. No $5, sorry. Hope you like that juicy story, Lindsay. And get your ass up here this summer. I can’t keep doing this – two boys, one night, HELP!
