First trip to Vegas is always the best
The first time I did coke was in 1998, that is so long ago but I'm going to tell the story now. My best friend and I wen to Vegas because we had never been, we stayed of the strip, off the beaten path at a hotel that had been posh in the 50's and was fine for our purposes, a place to sleep and a pool if we wanted to get some sun.
We walked the strip and checked out all the hotels and we ran into some dudes she word with, they had just one big ona random dollar slot machine when we randomly ran into them the first night we were there, they invited us up to their room and we all did bumps or lines...like one and I was back to normal. The night before i had gone on a date with a dude I worked with and had flirted with for months and I ended up getting no sleep and when I got home had to toss some clothes in a suitcase and run out the door to catch our flight. So with no sleep I was tired and this bit of coke made me feel normal. That's always what it has done for me. Yay, ready to go out and have some fun, isn't that the appeal?
Anyway we went to their room and did some, so random but so good at the time. I was awake again. Down to the floor of their hotel and sitting at the bar, we were drinking and talking and the dudes we were with kept leaving and returning and our very smart bartender recognized what wa going on. I think we just left and went to our own hotel room eventually.It was just a wake up and have fun kind of night for me.Made up for the random sort of bad date sex I'd had the night before with my coworker who it turned out was not quite over his girlfriend.
So that first trip to Vegas was worth something...I would take many more trips to Vegas but this is the only one where I did coke.
It was no big deal and I lived to tell the story.

So I reposted my resume and all I get is emails from insurance agents, so glad I'm not that desperate yet. I think I'd want to kill myself before I was an insurance agent...or be a barista again.
