(no subject)
it was another great weekend on east 19th. it was little 5 weekend aka a week of drunken madness. my cousin todd came down friday night, but not before i dropped my phone in the toilet. so i had to call my aunt at 11 at night to get his cell number so i could give him directions to my house. we got yelled at by the police for disorderly conduct quite a few times. i have never had so many last warnings. they have me on video talking to the policeman about throwing water balloons at cars as they drove by. he was laughing at me though. and his presence didn't stop cars from honking at our sign.
christine came down from chi-town thursday night, but i went to bed early that night. so we made up for my laziness the rest of the weekend.
saturday morning we woke up and i made pancakes for everyone and in the meantime the cops came around again to yell at us for playing our music too loud. they said that if they had to come back within the next 24 hours i would go to jail. we turned the music back on and i never went to jail. there were so many cops walking up and down our street all weekend. we live in an infamous neighborhood.
we went to the race. it was kind of boring, but a good thing to experience. then we came home and got drunk. we were doing 2 story beer bongs, cops were honking at our sign, a fire truck roared at us, the devliery man, the ice cream truck....everyone. people were still honking even after we took the sign down on sunday.
kristen and dan came to visit too. by the time they got here i was a little tipsy, but i think they had a pretty good time.
i know i forgot to write a ton of crazy stuff from the weekend down, but it wouldn't even explain how much fun we had.
now that they madness is over i feel ovewhelmed with all the work i need to do. i need to find a job and i really want to move to north carolina, but the idea scares the shit out of me. i will know no one there and i will be walking into a place that i know nothing about. i really want to be close to my family, but there are no teaching jobs in michigan...unless i want to teach in detroit. i also feel like my friends aren't very understanding about anything that i am going through. it is one of the hardest things to connect with 100 people and then just up and leave them, have to think about moving 15 hours away from your family to live the rest of your life, and experiencing the loss of a family member. it is exhausting to always smile and try to have fun and act like i am not bothered by anything.
i wish someone could make decisions for me but life doesn't work that way. all i know is i need money in a bad way....
