Pros of going out tonight:
Potentially may not suck.
See people I haven’t see yet this break.
Maybe hear live music.
Get to wear really great dress (courtesy of American Apparel and bethlehems.)
Able to drink more than one glass of wine (Mom’s maximum… awesome.)
Cons of going out tonight:
Potentially may really suck.
See people I really don’t want to see.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS THAT I WILL PROBABLY BE LIVEBLOGGING IT. Actually, I’m not so much excited as really, really curious as to where they sent them to do Real World-esque things. Because, like, it’s DC. DC does not really support Real World-esque things.
