I'm going out tonight and I'm soooo nervous!!

[nancy2394]

I NEVER go out because I always get made fun of or I feel like I don't fit in. I'm always worried that when I see people whispering that they're talking about me. Sometimes people are rude and just say things about me right in front of me and I wind up getting upset and leaving. So, it's been easier just to avoid the whole club scene.

Well, my cousin and his girlfriend and a few other friends are going to this... uh, well,...... a sort of establishment I have never been to before. I'm a bit worried about the crowd of people that will be there because I'm just not used to that kind of atmosphere. But I've been told by several people that this place treats people kind and the people I know that have been there all had a great time.

I'm just nervous that I will get made fun of or I won't fit in the seats they have. Or that I will feel so out of place or under dressed... I haven't been out socially in years. I really can't remember the last time I've been out. I even have jewelry on.. and I never wear jewelry anymore because I never feel pretty. I still don't feel pretty, but it feels kind of hip to wear jewelry...lol. Now I just gotta figure out something to do with my hair. I don't think I will bother with make up since I really suck at putting it on.

Oh, I feel like a teenager getting ready for a date.. this is awful. I just hate it that I am so nervous about it. It's almost like I'm expecting to have a bad time and be so self conscious that I won't allow myself to have a good time. I need someone to slap me and tell me I'll be fine and that I will have a wonderful time.

I just have to be real careful in the finance department. I know it's only a ten dollar cover charge per person and I'm sure the drinks are 5 bucks a pop. I will have to just pay attention to how much we spend. Oh gosh.. I got butterflies in my belly...lolol

I really, really hope you have fun.

And i hope if you don't have fun, you don't give up on going out. You just have to find the right place and the right people.

Happy New Year, Nancy!!

I know I dont post a lot, but I hope you have a great time tonight, you really deserve it!

ROCK ON NANCY! It's a new year and a new you!

Just repeat over and over to yourself: I will have such a great time! or I forgot how fun going out is! Get yourself psyched up for a good night and you will have one!

With makeup, I prefer the "less is more" look...a little mascara and some lipstick and voila. Done. I'm not sure what your hair is like, but it's hard to go wrong with pulling back the sides with a nice clip or a funky twist with some bobby pins. Get Arielle to help!

And mixed drinks are a cheap bet...the more liquors put together, the less you have to drink to get a good buzz. Or, cherry vodka and sprite always makes a good combo, I think.

HAVE A SUPER TIME!!

With Zoomer on the makeup. But I'll suggest you put on a light base. Get Arielle to help you. If she's got some shimmery blush give yourself a light dusting across your cheeks and then use it on your eyelids instead of eyeshadow. A couple coats of mascara, some gloss on your lips and you're dolled up and you'll feel festive.

my hair is a little past my shoulders.. it's thick and really doesn't do much of anything. I have dark blonde/light brown hair.. more light brown now that i am getting older..lol. I'm kind of thinking of twisting it in a clip and have the top poof out like that messy look sprouting out of the top of the clip. I hate to wear my hair down.. especially when this place is going to be packed and it will probably get hot in there.

I'm also not good with cigarette smoke, so that worries me a bit too. I can handle some .. but a whole place full of chain smokers will most definately get to me. I get the whole runny eyes, dripping nose and sneezing thing going on.

TJ is going to be so out of his element at this place. I had to beg and guilt him into going. I will be out of my element too... but I really have heard from several friends of mine that they had such a great time there. And they're going to put on a show tonight right before the ball drops. I already have a designated driver lined up in case we have a couple of drinks.

Maybe I'll try a little masgara and lip gloss... can't hurt anything. But if I do that.. then I will most definately have to do something with these out of control eyebrows..lol Geez, there's too much to think about just to go out for a night.

Stop making excuses, Nancy . . . put on a little foundation, some blush, that mascara and gloss . . . . tweeze a few stragglers underneath the eyebrows if you must . . . there's nothing to think about

Sure, you're gonna be out of your element! Your element has been home and work and worry and bleeding for so long that anything outside of that is out of your element!

GO!

And, Nancy . . . let your hair down

^^^ What Renee said! Sometimes it's nice to be somewhere totally different...it makes you feel like a whole different person. Enjoy! Have fun!

Oh Nancy , this is great !!! A smile on your face is really all you need to wear !! I'm one that feels less is best in makeup too . I can't wear mascara anymore....look like Tammy Faye ! I can't even find a good base ....blush , eye shadow , lipstick and off I go ! Happy New You to you !!! Let us know !!

 

[milos_mommy]

Mascara makes your face look 400x fresher and more awake without making everyone like "omgggg she's wearing MAKEUP". A little brown eyeshadow won't hurt, and some lip stick or gloss. I agree on getting Arielle to help you out. I wouldn't want my hair hanging all over the place if it was going be hot and crowded. I'd get Arielle to help you out on that one too (i'm the most uncreative hair-doer ever).

GO GO GO have fun! (and be careful driving around tonight. Lotsa crazies out)

 

[Angel Chicken]

Ohhh Nancy! Everyone is right, your ringing in the new year, celebrating a brand new you. A brand new you that has lost 25 pounds already!! Show it off girlfriend!

One thing my mom always said to me, don't sweat it. So tonight, don't sweat it! Your going to have a grand ol' time!!!

Happy New Year Nancy!
