another big lapse of time between blogs.
LAST FRIDAY... what happened. well i went to class then most likely met w/ gabe and bianca and jake on campus. i am not sure if that was friday or not. but we just hung out, pure and simple. and we stood at this spot near an entrance to campus and got a ton of people to stop-n-chat. jake came to lunch w/ us and was VERY late back to work - as usual. and it started raining. so instead of going to the library as i planned, i hightailed it home for a refreshing
nap.
i slept til the cows came home. five hours! i've got a grand habit of doing such, and it will continue for the next week's worth of recounting my life. i was supposed to go to a Brand New Theater play w/ jake but i slept through everyone's calls (and missed bianca in man-panties in the play!).
finally i woke up, and we went to some fancy schmancy party of sorts on 30th. it was a halloween party but i was saving my costume for thurs, so i went just as my cute self.
and there was laughing and dancing and hugging and all good fun. i went there w/ jake and gabe and a ziplock bag full of minibottles of alcohol (puckers, schnapps, etc), doubling as my purse (i put my cell in w/ the drinks), and all was crazy fun.
until the party started winding down and guys started swarming for my number and email.
one guy was pretty persistent and kept dragging me off to kiss me and i was pretty persistent and running back to safety. and joe was persistent and did some errands for a guy in trade for a cigarette, only to find that the guy had NO cigarettes.
this made joe angry, and a huge fight entailed. leaving joe w/ a bloody fat lip, a bruise between his eye and nose, and some sore teeth.
i went home w/ my drunken roommates. jake went in the bathroom to hang out for a while after my room started spinning. i started getting ideas, and i didn't want to type cuz it was coming out all wrong, so i had some guys drop me off at a friend's on 37th Pl (or St) and we talked out on his porch. i am glad i am not hot for his rod anymore. eventually the guys came back w/ my fries, and i went away w/ them in a squishy full car.
on the way back i ate my entire thing of seasoned criss cross fries from carl's. and the ride couldn't have been more than 5 min. that is ridiculous.
back at the ranch, i conned a bunch of guys to watching ANNIE the musical w/ me at 5am. two of them actually KNEW the words and had favorite songs. shane passed out across the entire couch and started sleep talking about jordan, joe passed out on the ice pack i made him, and nate left eventually. so there was me and jonny c. watching annie and trying to stay up til 8am to get joe off to his earthquake fieldtrip. we got him up, but he didn't stay up. jonny c slept in his car for 1.5 hrs while i was in my cozy bed, and i awoke to the sound of the sports bar that is my life.
honestly it was 10 am saturday morning when i started waking up to this ruckus. i was out of bed by 11, and maybe did some reading and music listening and then went to starbucks w/ ian. i was going to the library after, but never made it. of COURSE. but it was nice to sit and talk w/ ian and catch up, cuz our lives have pretty much gone in different directions as of late. well mine hasn't gone ANYWHERE and that is the problem. ok that is a lie, i'm feeling down i guess hehe.
i must have slept again that evening, cuz i remember waking up in time for a late dinner at church's. jake and i scouted, and found a few parties to be confirmable, then we headed out w/ ian. nate and shane came w/ us for a bit but i decided to find a party we would have to split up and call each other when a good one was confirmed. so we did, and the three of us ended up at jessica's friend's (sierra apt) halloween party. i didn't recognize ANYONE there but it was a blast and the decorations kicked arse and they had jello shooters, and the people were nice and singing and dancing.
but it was hot. and eventually we moved on to 24th street or something (it used to be the navy house, i have no idea what it is now). they were charging $5 at the door but we said we'd already drank (which we had - i still had a church's chicken-cup w/ my mix in it!), so we were on the dance floor in no time. flashy colored lights, a dj, costumes. it was a real party. it was also pretty hot.
but eventually jake and gabe and ian wanted to leave. it was probably pretty late anyhow, but it WAS daylight savings....
so i stayed w/ jessica, and eventually we headed out to ellendale to meet nate and shane. but we found a different party by accident and as we were there looking, they showed up to check that party out. so the group was finally reunited (and it feels so good!). and even more friends showed up w/ time. even heffe, who got thrown through some glass window by a psycho marine.
i was pretty down for some reason, and decided not to drink anymore. it just didn't feel like a good night. maybe cuz it was the one year anniversary of when i met mike. not to the day, but the whole eve of daylight savings....
well i was just sad in general. i felt like no one liked me. even friends. it was so annoying, this feeling.
one guy actually came up to me and started up a conversation, and he was pretty good looking. in a funny costume like a bear. all fluffy. and he walked me part way home, and asked for my number. but only time would tell - HE HASN'T CALLED!
eh but at least i felt kinda good when i fell asleep that night.
sunday jake and i went to philippe's for french dip sandwiches and stuff, and he'd never been there so it was quite the experience. i paid w/ a roll of quarters. finally i had him drop me off at doheny to get a book for my sociology outline that was due wednesday. then i met ian at starbucks again, and did a little reading, until sandy called me to go to lucky boat (and get my $$$$$).
when i came back, ben c and i went to ground zero for the kscr sponsored concert, featuring PLAIN WHITE T'S. i thought they were pretty neat, catchy driving music, so i got a cd. the guy from the friday halloween party called me, and i saved his number (i really don't remember what he looked like though). and afterwards ben and i stood outside his house talking for like an hour, til i couldn't see straight (i hadn't napped that day and it was a daylight savings effect i guess). so i was off to bed.
monday - thurs, class class assignments due, studying blahblah. there was a perty cool CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM this week, and lots of simpson's halloweeeeeeen specials. i didn't get much sleep tues night so i slept for a few hours at my favorite time of day - 4pm! at some point during the week, we decided i was pregnant w/ RIZZO the stupidest fetus in town. he is the potential offspring of STUPID ______, the last guy i was even somewhat involved with. not because we had sex or anything, but because he was the closest i'd been to a penis in quite a while. hehe. what an awful thought.
no i am definitely not pregnant. and if i were it would not be a Rizzo (name of the rat from muppet movies) or a stupid fetus. but i am two weeks overdue for my period. and my last one was a week early, and hella long. so i am completely CONFUSED.
ANYHOW, thursday finally came around, and it was the halloween to end all. well not really, for the world's sake. but it was pretty fun. first i had lunch w/ jon and jake. and i gave jake my money for our ULTRACHEAP stroke's tickets ($20 for two!!!). then we went to upstairs commons for CAKE AND ICE CREAM. no kidding. and some of that great pretzel bread! i was SO wired after, jonny c was probably scared to death of me but it felt great, and we all had a good time. i studied for my friday forensic psych on campus, sitting on those cool hidden couches at GFS w/ jonnyc and eventually had to go to my last class.
we learned about more affiliative motivated behaviors, and my favorite concept was that of empathic physiological attunement. i get that, and it makes so much sense to me now!!!
life is beautiful sometimes.
so i went to leavey to do some assigned readings from the reserves, and came back home to attempt studying. but i got all distracted. jake and i went to ralph's to buy candy for trick-or-treaters cuz gabe made me feel guilty (and none showed up!), and we got smirnoff and some n n n nasty eggnogg (but damn cheap). then we called ben c and found out he had access to a tambo-urine for my GYPSY costume, so we went over there and ended up getting trashed off some disturbingly strong sugar cane alcohol and vanilla coke.
i like his house a lot, it just feels good to be there.
so go figure, when i got home to put on my costume, i was having one hell of a time. i decided against phu's party cuz (1) no ride, (2) test early the next morning, and (3) venice seemed SO FAR when i was SO DRUNK. so thank god, ian ordered pizza and i sobered up a little. and realized that not eating anything but cake and icecream for lunch had helped me get pretty wasted pretty fast. and papa john's is sooooo good. i hadn't had pizza in forever!
anywho, i got together my outfit. a black skirt and thigh highs, my red slip on shoes, my red and pink scarf as a top of sorts, over a strapless bra, and my big red silky scarf draped over like a toga. i had a few gaudy necklaces and bracelets, long earrings, and some little braids in my hair. i did my make up like cleopatra but took some off by the end. red lips and silver eyeshadow, blush, and extra eyebrowage (a must). i hope the pics come out! ian was disco stu or something, w/ his burnt orange courds & matching loafers, a green button up long sleeve shirt, my brown leather jacket, and his granny wig all fro'd up. plus a huge disco ball necklace. he was dressed to kill!
jake had nothing. so we MADE him wear my black hot pants, spikey collar, bondage bracelets, fuschia wig, blacl feather boa, and a black shirt. he looked ADORABLE! esp cuz he has a beard now!
now gabe did the same costume as last year - an UFO investigator, in a suit and army jacket and a clipboard w/ top secret written on it, and alien pics drawn on following pages. he carried an alien mask, maybe to catch someone in the act.
and so it was.
our rag tag crew.
we took some shots and met ben c. and his pal outside. we headed to 29th and ellendale, and attended yet another sketchy helene's party. i don't know why the vibe there is always so bad. some bad crowd mixed in w/ the rest or something. i don't get it. i'm sure it's not the helenes, i don't really know many of them *but MOLLY is cool*, but it is always just so weird! from there it's all kinda blurry. we got in the car at some point, and i got out on the corner at another point, and lost everyone, and went for more vodka but never got home and then ended up at the menlo party and then at the 37th St (Pl?) party and from there i remember more.
we somehow acquired ERIKA and we had a car-full, so we we to the party over on 37th, and jake ended up w/ a granny hat so he and ian looked like a couple when we were driving. but the hat got stuck, and jake hadn't seen it, so he let it stay on his head. meanwhile, guys all night are checking him out from different angles, thinking he's a cute little girly. i kept calling him princess, and he had no idea why.
but 37th street was the worst party of the night by far. really lame. music was pretty good, but no one was dancing. no one was cute. and there was no alcohol (all the parties were dry by this point).
anyhow, this was mike's party. and i got him to acknowledge me, and i thought maybe he would be cool and we could be friends. but i am not sure that was the effect i got. maybe i'm just over sensitive. anyhow, i tried. and i guess he was there w/ his new girlfriend, or whatever. doesn't matter. i dont' really want to talk about that anymore.
i must say it took me all of 20 min to get over that. i was onto the next party. i never made it to the row, and hadn't really planned to, but went back to the menlo house. that was definitely much cooler, and there was a live band. and everyone was there, even nate et al. jonny c was 'the happiest' he had ever been haha. he was having a blast and cracking me up. danbaz was holding onto the stair railing for dear life. STUPID ______ was avoiding ME like the plague - which is really dumb cuz it's not a big deal, we should just act NORMAL, but he doesn't know what NORMAL means.... argh. dumb boys.
i was looking for my bear friend, and asked ace about him, but all i got was a butterfly kiss.
shane tried to pick a fight w/ me but jonny c resolved it. i was too drunk to have much of an idea of what he was even talking about at this point.
eventually two guys were getting kinda fresh w/ me so i wanted to leave. it took us forever, but eventually we got home at like 3:30am???
the first thing jake does is go in his room to take off his garb - and he yells "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME HOW RIDICULOUS I LOOKED IN THIS HAT!!!???"
and i ran in and i was laughing hysterically - i said "but YOU put the hat on, i thought you knew it was ridiculous! it's halloween! PRINCESS!' and he said "no someone ELSE put it on and it got stuck - i hadn't SEEN it til now!!!"
and he realized just why he was the apple of so many male eyes last night : )
gabe was lying on my bed w/ his eyes closed enjoying his drunken jaw and talking about psychics and such. then he went to his room to enjoy his state.
derek called looking for danbaz. he was appearantly misplaced in the shuffle.
and i went to bed. but i could not fall asleep, and i had to get up at 8!!!! which i did. and the test wasn't so bad.
i am gonna nap now. this took longer than i'd expected, but the test let me out of class early so i made an exception for my viewers.
tonight i am going to ebeth's birthday dinner (OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE in burbank), andd then to jessica's party, and maybe some others, and TOMORROW morning i should check out the loyola open house, and at night go to the stroke's concert at the greek theater, and god knows what else. but i'm kinda sick so try to get me to wake up tomorrow at 7 am.
ahh much better....
