Jess and I got back from Louisiana at about 12:30 am. It was a fun trip. JJ is hilarious to hang around with. She has a dog, named Diego (for san diego). He is a yorky, but is adorable. He is little and furry, but so cute. He has a lot of energy and likes to run around a lot, but he does not bark all the time. When people are outside playing on the tennis court right in front of their window, he will bark at them, but teddy and ella would to so you can't hold that against him. so he is not an annoying hyper dog which is great. and he is hilarious. He doesn't like windshield wipers, and JJ has kind of trained him to try and attack them. she will turn them on and then start saying "diego, save me, save me..." and he will jump in her lap and attack the steering wheel. It is hilarious. I was laughing so hard i almost peed. there are bite marks all over the top of the steering wheel. seriously funny.

For the most part we just hung out a lot. JJ had to work some, but jess and I went shopping and got manicures, and JJ did our hair. Mine is chopped off again, and she redid my highlights and added some lowlights. It looks pretty cute, I might post a picture. Her boyfriend Derrick is in the air force and works as a Mechanic on the jets, i dont know which ones. He worked like 2-11 so we really only saw him at night. Their apartment rocks. It is one bedroom, but pretty huge. The bathroom was awesome, and the living room is a great size. they have a nice portch and a storage room off that that is big enought to hold a queen size matress and a bunch of other furniture. plus the community is gated (although you can walk in) with a pool and tennis courts and a kick ass gym. and the rent was just like a little over 700. and it is brand new. it is awesome. and it is all decorated, with NICE furniture and a huge kick ass tv. Derrick is a gaming freak, so he had to have the kick ass tv. JJ refused to pay for any of it, cuz she thinks it is rediculous, but it is cool .

Thursday night was our night out on the town. We picked up one of JJ friends who is 32 (although she only looks like 27). she had a blast cuz she was id'ed everywhere we went. we had quick appetizers at a mexican joint cuz we didn't have enough time to eat, before we went to see the comedian at the funny bone comedy club. It was pretty funny. They had a two drink minimun so I had a lon island and a tootsie roll shot (we got the shot because you got to keep the glass, which was cool). Then we headed over the the casino. I lost $24 (actually i only lost $19 cuz i gave jess $5 cuz i owed her some money). and I had two long islands. I love free drinks. :) then we went and played pool. I had another long island, and was pretty much gone, since I was singing country songs. (seriously though, i only know like 3 from when i was younger and they were all being played....). I called nicole when I got back to the hotel. Jess thought i was really drunk, and I felt that it was important she knew that I was only slightly drunk. I wasn't falling down, or tripping, or saying lots of stupid things. I was just willing to sing to country music (but not really loudly or anything). It was definatly a lot of fun.

we left shreveport in the afternoon to head home, and it was a pretty good drive, until we hit the lake at 11. This is when i got pulled over. I am so pissed to, cuz i deliberately was not speeding, not even 5 over, cuz it is the lake on a friday night. I am not stupid. but at one spot the speed changes from 30 to 45, apparently i sped up before the sign. when i saw the cops lights I just pulled to the side cuz i thought he was going to pass me (he was coming from way back) and when he pulled me over as asked if i knew why i was pulled over i was like no. I was going 45 in a 45. then the prick got a smug ass look on his face and was like, the speed doesn't change until the mcdonalds....I was parked at the central bank. I had to have been 5 feet in front of the sign when I sped up, 5 fucking feet. and he had this look on his face like haha. stupid fat prick with no life has to sit there and try and trick people into tickets. I was seriously pissed. Nicole you had better tell your BF that if he does shit like that he is not a real man, but a pussy. a pussy with a big stick up his ass!!! I probably wouldn't be as pissed if he hadn't smirked and gotten that look on his face. Then when he told me i could go and reminded me to slow down, I almost said yes officer, I will go the "speeed limit", but i didn't want to piss him off. Oh I am so mad. I only get tickets when I am not actually speeding. stupid bastard cops. Oh well, I will be in canada for two years which will be enough time to knock the points off my id. bastards.

PLUS, it started raining just south of jeff city, and it was impossible to see the lines on the road. and they just repaved 63 so there are no lines on the side, and the reflicters in the middle. and the roads at columbia weren't draining so i really couldn't see the lines and the water was pulling my car. so missouri is bitch. but the rest of the trip was good. :)
