Oops! I Did it Again.

Last night, I finished my last grad application, and worked through seven pages of writing toward the rockstar story. The past month or so, I have become a social shut in. I have left my phone off for days, and have a reminder bell that goes off every few hours to remind me to eat. Otherwise, day turns to night turns to morning.

Everything has been on hold. I had planned to go to Vegas to ring in the new year. Two of my friends had rented suites at the Palms and the Rio. When my girlfriend called me from the Palms I swear there was an echo. She said there was a hot tub in the room and a "pole" in one of the bedrooms. After that call, I was glad I chose to stay in California, celebrate low key and work on my writing.

I knew that Annette was meeting up with some friends at Pure. What I didn't know, was that I was on the V.I.P. list to Britney Spears party. When Annette arrived, her friends asked where I was. She said I was too busy to come to Vegas. She was then swept through bodyguards up to the roof deck where Britney herself was partying with about 70 friends. She told me all the fabulous details of their seven-course meal by Pure's Larkspur chef.

I'm sure I'll have another opportunity to see Britney, but this will go down in the books as the biggest V.I.P. Party I missed.
