The Octagon Bar: Swanky and Soaked for 2005

[u2bonogirl]

Im majoring in history. first class is archaeology 102
a beer bong sounds excellent!
too bad we didnt go to college together
what hell we could raise
all the mac stores within a 4 hour radius are out of the iPod.....
bastards

 

[nurse chrissi]

no all graduated now (how that actually happened I'll never know ) And yes it is in Columbia - It is basically known for its Jounalism department and the fact that Brad Pitt went there


and a lot of parties - but you figure when you are stuck in the middle of Missouri you options are slightly limited between parties and cow tipping - sometimes a combo of both

 

[pax]

I have been to Columbia a couple of times. Enjoyed some drinks at the Heidelberg. And loved Rasoi (Indian restaurant).

And the Columbia, MO Target was the first one I ever visited.

 

[pax]

Wow, kids, I'm sleepy. Behave yourselves!

:: drains sangria, towels off, stumbles off to bed ::

 

[nurse chrissi]

the Heidelberg (at least the orginal) burnt down about a year ago - they have since rebuilt - but that where I hung out during my time as an Art History major (as the bar was located right across from the quad and the museum) Many, many late nights at the Heildeberg
And yes the Target in the mall is impressive

cow tipping! sweet. Never got to do it though I live right near a cow pasture. People shoot at cans here....and each other sometimes
Theres really nothing to do in a little beach town but break the law and sleep

 

[pax]

Yes, I think I remember my Mizzou pals mentioning the fire at the Heidelberg. I love Columbia's downtown--so relaxed and yet so busy. It's very college-town-ish.

**Walks into the bar**

For the first night in a very long time - or what feels as a very long time - and for the first time this year, I'll spend more than just 5 minutes in here...

Quick give me a before LemonBoy gets the wrong idea!

Happy New Year Merc! Where are you off to next now that University is over?

Thanks!

Over?!?!? My University days isn't over yet ... got exams until the end of January and then I'm off to my internship... and then there is 1½ year left at uni, so it's hardly over yet...

 

[starsforu2]

Hi Dorothe! When do you take off for your internship? Doesn't it put you closer to Lemonboy

Thanks for saving me from Lemonboy's lips. I'm sure they are good for something, but not for me.

Hi Henry! You sure are Noisy! Thanks Pax, that's better. Only 1.5 hours before I can flee this joint...

SWEET.

:: plays tambourine ::

Darn it, I didn't bring my belly-dancing outfit.

Did someone say bellydancing? Tara got busted bellydancing in the ocean in Hawaii

I have already confessed my weakness for the art.

Belly Dancers

 

[pax]

I'll make a note to take some lessons.

 

[u2bonogirl]

speaking of the bellydancing girl, here I am!
I got bored at eleven last night and dyed my hair brunette
it brought all the red out in my hair
Im exhausted from work *plunks down on floor*

 

[Merc]

Hi Dorothe!

I'm sorry, but... ... my name isn't that exoctic, is it?! Try with only one "o" next time, dear!

When do you take off for your internship? Doesn't it put you closer to Lemonboy

January 28th... and no, actually it puts me further away from him, so you don't need to worry!




... so can I get a drink in here, or whatever happend to that handsome bartender we had once...?

 

[starsforu2]

Sorry Dorthe Must be my foggy head.

What can I get you to drink this afternoon / evening?

Hi Tara I didn't know you were there when I made the bellydancer comment Now, I'm turning all red from being busted.

Drinks for Pax and Tara while I'm here?

 

[u2bonogirl]

he got whisked away by some chick *shrug*

I really need a drink....
*reaches into her minifridge and pulls out a bottle of white wine*
ah, thats the stuff. I think I need another bottle

 

[u2bonogirl]

Tim, I had just walked into the building when you said that
Thats okay, I already broadcasted it here before anyway
I wore part of some fishnets on my elbow today. starting a new trend

No, I think I got busted for bringing you into the conversation when you weren't even here, thus revealing a weakness for Tara

** Snaps fingers and Sends Garson out to get some more white whine for the lady **

Hey, did you hide your profile for when you're online? You're not here on my friend's list?

 

[nurse chrissi]

quite a few here today - I've been working on a report all day so coming here is part of my treat for getting some stuff done
Too early here for nice mixed drink so I'll stick to the diet coke - will add rum later

also in eleborate time wasting scheme - have posted my work station - Tara - Merc you must do the same as I've seen Pax and Tim's space (btw nice use of Yoda)

 

[u2bonogirl]

whoa! Im invisible! Cool
that makes me ultracool like rebekah
Sorry tim, I dont really know how that happened but ill go back to visible so you wont get busted for talking about me while you think Im working
not!
My workspace is a little nook with an espresso maker and a lot of spoons
adam would LOVE it

 

[Merc]

Sorry Dorthe Must be my foggy head.

It's okay - I'm kinda getting used to it and I know it isn't a very common name in English-spaeking countries... but I also know that English-speaking ppl can get it (and the pronunciation) right...if they pratice a little...

What can I get you to drink this afternoon / evening?

... a rum & coke would be just fine!

... btw, I almost when I saw that YOU had made a post in pleba's fan fiction!!! What's next?! Posting pics on Leather Day?!





... and Tara!

 

[u2bonogirl]

hey merc! Im not going to even try to butcher the spelling of your name
you saw Tim post in my fic i was pleasantly surprised to say the least.
nice to see another girl here who likes the rum and coke. I like it made it diet, otherwise its too sugary and gives me a hangover

 

[nurse chrissi]

I like it made it diet, otherwise its too sugary and gives me a hangover

make it a diet lime coke and rum and avoid the fruit issue altogether

 

[starsforu2]

** Pours Rum & Coke for Dorthe **

It's funny, I wouldn't have been there if it hadn't been in one of the top 10 recent posts. Someone wrote a response and I saw that Tara was the thread starter, so I read it. And I was impressed!
But if you catch me commenting on Leather day (whatever that is ) , get me some serious help!

Tara, I don't like it when your invisible , I like to see your body! Brunette huh? How'd you know that I favor them?

Chrissi, I love Yoda. Remember, Star Wars geek!
