January 22, 1994 - Saturday - Mardi Gras Gator Style

I went to Mardi Gras Gator Style last night just to have a really good laugh at the dorm area governments' attempt to even begin to imitate one of the biggest sex parties in the United States. I also saw it as a good way to take Leigh Anne out and have some fun for free, since there was no admission and I later heard that the food was free as well. We then gathered up a group consisting of Aimee, Michelle, and Edward.

Everybody got ready in a decent amount of time except Leigh Anne. She was getting to the point where she was pissing both Ed and I off a lot. She started off by changing clothes a couple of times and then couldn't find this one pair of shoes and couldn't supplement one of the other fifty pairs she owns. It was getting kind of ridiculous. All I kept thinking was about how I am the type of person who likes to be on time, or better yet really early, and she is constantly taking forever to do things and I really hate that. That alone is almost enough reason for me to never go out with her again. The way I see it, if she doesn't care enough to keep our plans, then fuck her. I would have left her last night if she isn't as useful as she is in everyday life lately.

When we got to Mardi Gras it was funny how few people were there on the outside. It was freezing cold, however, because this crowd wasn't emitting the kind of heat the real Mardi Gras crowd does. They had a bunch of little game booths set up including, but not limited to (ha ha), toss a ring on a two liter bottle, football toss, a wedding booth, and face painting. They also had popcorn and cotton candy machines. We went inside where they had set up a fairly respectable dance floor with a decent sound system and a crappy disc jockey who went to high school with Leigh Anne and fucked up way too many times. Ed quickly saw the food line and we headed over there and were lucky enough to get one of the few tables to sit at.

I took one bite of the chili and almost burned my tongue off! It was really shitty, though, because all they did was take cheap chili and add a bunch of tabasco sauce to it. They had cookies and professionally made cake which was good. We ate and then headed upstairs to their so called casino. At the entrance they would draw a big permanent blue smile on your hand to signify that you've received your five hundred dollars worth of free poker chips and five free carnival tickets. that as awesome because I didn't realize this part would be free. It was a classier atmosphere upstairs with a snack buffet and a local "jazz" band. We walked around and looked at all of the betting tables which had blackjack, acey ducey, roulette with real roulette wheels!, and rooms where poker games were being played. Ed and I then took off to see what was up outside because it all seemed so much better since it was free!

Ed found the ring toss and thought since he was a good frisbee player that he could probably do it. He overshot almost every one of them and spent all of his tickets doing so. Retard. But hopefully he had fun which is all that matters. I, on the other hand, have always been really confidant that throwing bean bags at a pyramid of cans would be really easy. I used to see it all the time at Busch Gardens but never tried it. Each ticket got you two complete tries. There was suddenly a line of about five people and only one guy was good enough to knock all but two of the cans down once.

I stepped up and shifted the bean bag to contour it to my palm to get better aim. I knew that speed wasn't the goal, aim is. My first toss knocked down all but one of the cans!, and my second sent them all crashing down!!! That was awesome!!! Ed was with me to see it and we were joking about the carnie. He looked like Axl Rose which was funny. When Ed saw how good I did he joked that I must be in good with some carnies and I reminded him that I dated Shar¡ so I know how to win some of these games! I kicked ass. Some more people played and one guy knocked them down. On my third try I knocked down all but one and since I played three times he let the crowd vote and since I was the only one coming even close, they gave me another fifty dollar slip. these were to be used at the auction at the end of the night. I played and one again before heading back in.

As I walked by the cotton candy machine, I realized it was free and got me a nice big one that was delicious. The girl told me to come back for more when I was done and I did. I gave the first one too Leigh Anne when I walked in the door to make up since I left her for so long. I then got another for myself. I haven't had cotton candy in so long and it was wonderful. I ended up either eating four or five huge sticks of it even though Ed or Michelle would dome by and snag a small piece every once in a while. They all wanted popcorn at one point and a big black guy had taken over. He was filling one really full because nobody was there and as I threw away my stick, he offered me another. Yum yum!

I then offered to marry Leigh Anne and she used two of our tickets to do so. We each got a certificate and a ring. We then got to throw on a hat and hold a bouquet and have a Polaroid picture taken. I had everybody get in the picture with us and it turned out awesome. The vows were only for the night and consisted of stuff like not giving your beads to any other girl. Yeah right! The picture is great because we all look really happy and are crowded together and is the kind of picture that you look back at later in life and will have some really good memories about the time you spent imprisoned here. So I made sure I had it at the end of the night.

We then headed back inside and they wanted to dance. I didn't feel like it, nor did Aimee. I talked to her a little bit and am starting to really like her now that she and her boyfriend broke up. After a while I headed upstairs and stopped by the free tokens table again. I had conveniently used excessive amounts of saliva earlier to remove their smile off of my hand and doubled my cash. I then headed back out and played bean bag toss five more times and grabbed some more cotton candy. Leigh Anne came outside once and threw one of my bean bags and actually won. They all played a couple of times after seeing me win.

I later headed back upstairs and decided to start watching the Roulette wheel and after figuring out the rules, I started placing small bets. I then got carried away and went on a roller coaster ride with my money. I eventually blew it all but had an awesome time doing so. I also was glad to have the chance to publicly gamble without really spending any money. It was a good lesson. I then realized that those fifty dollar slips could be turned in for tokens and I had accumulated nine by that time which means I won that game seven times!!! out of ten rounds. I went back and lost all of my money and found it funny as I told Leigh Anne that I gambled away all of our honeymoon money!!! I had a great time, though, and am sure that she had more fun dancing.

There were some really awesome looking girls in the place and I walked by this one whose balloon had floated to the ceiling. This guy was desperately jumping to get it for her but it seemed hopeless. I offered to get it for her and he wanted to try again to not be shown up. I laughed as his attempt failed and jumped up and grabbed it in both hands on the first try. I handed it to her and after she thanked me, I walked away. It was really funny. There's this girl named Holly who everybody next door calls a whore and Hollywould because Holy would and so forth. She can dress up rather nicely and has a great body. It's just because she runs around talking to all the cute RA's all of the time. I also make an extra effort to flirt with her and she noticed me doing so last night. That was a lot of fun. There also was a really tall girl with gorgeous breasts that I flirted with for a while, all while Leigh Anne was dancing obliviously just in front of me.

I kept trying to protect Aimee form this guy who kept making passes at her all night long. That was ind of funny and I teased her about her new boyfriend later. I then slow danced for a very short time with Leigh Anne and at the end of the night and I included Aimee as a threesome once by putting my arm around her. I have started being increasingly liberal with them all and hope that things will work out to my advantage. Well, we all seemed to have had a pretty good time last night and now I have to go make a phone call and wake up Leigh Anne.
