Last night I went out for drinks at The Midnight, a nice little bar a couple blocks from my house. I played trivia with some friends and vets (not vietnam, veterinarians) and had so much fun! But, apparently last night was something called Gator Stomp. Now for all you non-florida non-country folk, that means that thousands of undergrads ( with fake ids) take a trip downtown to get drunk at all the fun bars for half the price or free or something. I saw a fight between a goth and a frat boy,  and a frat boy drinking fertilizer water. Real fun stuff.

I guess I should explain Gainesville. There is University street/ave?, which is where the school is located. On this street are bars and resturants where jocks, frat dudes, sorority girls, and clueless undergrads hang out. Most of these people live on the west side of campus in shitty apartments next to chain restaurants and stores. The east side, downtown, is where I live. These are old country houses, brick buildings, and you know cute architecture. The Downtown night life is a few blocks from university night life, and on any given night you may see a familiar scene from Portlandia, Reality Bites, or Where the Wild Things are. Hipsters! Local cafes and restaurants! twinkle lights! fun bars! live music! fun people! and probably some clueless idiots! SOOO, Gator Stomp brings the university people to downtown, and shows off downtown like it is a tourist attraction. On such a night you see thousands of drunk white kids in matching t-shirts saying things like, "oh that guy is a fag," or "this is interesting," or "hey who wants to fight."

Anyway, so that was last night. In the midst of my worst nightmare, I actually had a great time. Scott was drunk, which is always fun, because he is the kind of drunk who tells you how much he loves you. Last night, he loooooooved me sooo much. I literally have never experienced someone actually in-love with me this much. And what is awesome is I love him that much too! It's weird. I never thought I could find someone who would be able to give me what I need, and he does! I never felt so solid and comfortable in a relationship. I am never paranoid that he will date my bestfriend, or cheat on me, or anything like that. And! hes sooooo hot! How did I get him?

Moral of the story, stay home for Gator Stomp, or don't.
