What's gonna dance like it's 2005.

Come on get up.

What a time to feel.

Talking nostalgia now, the biggest fan in the crowd.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

It's Lagoon Beach.

What is up, everybody? Thank you for listening to another episode of nostalgia. And now, as always,

it is your host, Kelly. And let me tell you guys, I had quite the weekend. Like, I feel like I haven't had a wild weekend in a very long time.

Even like my birthday weekend, it was just kind of like, yeah, you know, we got pretty drunk and did karaoke. Then I was home in bed by nine. Now, that has kind of been my story since, you know, beginning of COVID, right? Like, I was talking to my brother and I said to him, I was like, I feel like COVID changed my personality. Like, I used to be able to go out. I would be able to talk to anybody. But after being, like,

basically cut off from the world for two months. And I know I was lucky. I was able to go back

into the office after two months. And I know a lot of people were locked down and are still in

lockdown. But, um, but yeah, I feel like it changed me a lot and like kind of made me an

unhappy person. because before that,

you know, things would definitely get to me. But I tried really hard to stay more positive, even though

I will never say that I've been like the most positive person. I will say I try to make things a little bit

more positive. But anyway, I do think my personality changed to a point, especially when I'm out in public. I used to be able to talk to anybody. So I'm going to tell you about my weekend. I know sometimes my stepmom listens to the podcast, so please just fast forward or don't get mad at me. One of the two. I'm telling you right now, Karen, if you're listening, just like skip ahead or you can never bring this up when you see me. So Thursday, I ended up

getting drinks with someone who I worked at at the marketing agency before I was let go. And I was

telling her about like how crazy I was in my early 20s and how I had all this confidence.

And maybe I wasn't super, super confident in my looks, but I still went out. I still had fun. I still talk to guys. I still talk to girls. I still talk to whoever. Like, just had a blast no matter what. And it has been so long since I felt like that. I will say probably even a few months before COVID, really. No, that's a lie. I would say just before COVID. So what's that 18 months, however fucking long we've been in this hellscape. But anyway, she was like, come to my house. I'm having a little party on Saturday this past Saturday. And I was like, okay, yeah, I'm going. So my friend and I show up, and it's not a cookout. There's no food. So I did not eat a lot before I went. but they did order us pizzas, very kind of them.

And it's about six.

Like, people are starting to leave.
