Hit Me!

Hello One and All,

I am here to tell you that today, I gambled for the first time at a Casino. As sort of my 21st birthday celebration, my father and I went to one of our lovely local Indian reservation's casinos, and impressively came out with a net gain that paid for our dinner! What a high-rolling Scottsdale night: RA Sushi, the W Hotel, and then some gambling! For awhile, i was pulling my weight through some serious blackjack. I dabbled in some three-card poker, but this wasn't for me. I'm much more of a Texas Hold 'Em or Five Card Draw kinda girl. Anyway, i'll make sure the next casino is more fitting for my poker tastes.

So team father/daughter was successful at blackjack? Not quite. We definitely were in the hole by a good amount. However, luckily my dad had the Midas touch on a handful of slot machines, and in three big wins we had replenished our funds and made a nice surplus as well!

So now, it's 3:30 a.m. again and I spent a couple hours in poker practice rooms reading poker strategies.

And as usual in these late night hours... I've noticed something. Where is everyone? No one's on Facebook Chat. I know it's a little late, but i remember back in the AIM days, someone was always online. I found myself signing onto AIM just to see, and realized no one chats anymore.

The people who sign onto AIM put themselves out there and say, "I am online, I am by my computer, and I want to chat." Those on FB Chat are putting themselves out there a little less, but they're still reachable if you need them.

While signing on, I accidentally found a hidden "recently opened" file of old chats. I found two particularly interesting ones. I read through them, reading that old freshman or sophomore Joanna speaking, laughing, through them. I want to chat! who's with me! (and if you really want to have a good time, maybe we can go to a poker chatroom!)

....aaaahhhhhh summer nights ...in my bedroom.
