In class today, we had to randomly draw an object from a box. I got a silver plastic beaded necklace. I am not really sure what I can write about it. It may remind me of some holidays involving beads like Mardi Gra. I am a fan of the holiday originating in New Orleans. It is a reason to party with good freinds or go watch all the crazy drunk people at the pub crawls. The tradition of giving beads away is rather interesting as well. Someday I would like to go to Louisiana for this holiday to see the traditional Bourbon Street festivities. I think that beaded necklaces are also customary of many other holidays like New Years Eve. Normally I have to work on New Years Eve, but this past year I changed jobs and had it off. It was fun because the restauraunt I work at now closes early on that day so I got to go out with my girlfriend and other freinds. We went to this party that was close to downtown and waited for midnight and I popped a champagne bottle. It was kind of funny because it didn't actually pop the first time it just started to emit smoke and then I tried to take a drink of it and then the carbonation made it fizzle. It ended up spilling a little bit on my shirt, but what can you do except for laugh. We ended up leaving that party to go to another one where more of my friends where there so naturally it was more fun. We stayed there all night and I think it was my favorite New Years Eve of all. So when I look at this beaded necklace that I put around my neck I think of good memories with freinds and holidays past. It is pretty interesting how people can associate so much with an object and instantly remember those times.
