So...the suprising thing is that I am not the youngest person here....just tend to be in the minority. It's okay..everyone is drinking and playing pool and SMOKING. I hate the smell of smoke and it is going to leave it's stench in my hair and clothes no doubt.

Drew hasn't arived yet, but there is about 40 or so people here. I should get back to things I guess....even though I am not socializing with anyone, and not drinking because I plan on leaving soon I think. Just not my scene.

Until later....buh bye.
