49-24.. Purdue won over Akron.. yaya.
I was kind of surprised we let Akron score 24 point on us, but at least we did well and won. This entire weekend, just like the football game, has been so much fun. Friday night, my roommate Rachel and I had a few of the swimmers over and we did a power hour, which started at like 4 lol. From there we went to campus and meandered around a few house parties near Ted's house. I really can't even remember where all we went, but I know that we called it an early night and decided to head home around 11. But then came the real excitement. Rachel and I couldn't get ahold of our roommate John, who normally comes to pick us up when we've been drinking on campus. So, being the smart on-the-spot thinkers we are, we walked to Mad Mushroom Pizza. We went inside and asked them if we ordered some cheesy bread could we make it a delivery and just ride with the pizza guy to our apartment. Unfortunately theys hot us down... bastards, next time I'm calling Pizza Express ;). But, no worries, right outside of Mad Mushroom we ran into a Jimmy Johns delivery man. Since three of the cheerleaders work for Jimmy Johns, and I know at least one or two workers it seems like every time I go in there, we thought we would give them a shot. I made Rachel do the asking since it was a sausage fest behind the counter, and with the help of her good looks we were shortly on our way back to McCormicks. Brandon was kind enough to take us home on his way to deliver some sandwhiches on the outskirts of campus.. including the Family Inn were these people were paying by the hour... SICK. I was asleep by midnight, and that was a good thing since I had to be up early Saturday.
I awoke around 7:30 Saturday morning, giving us about 15 minutes to clean up the alcohol mess from the pervious day, before Rachel's parents arrived. Rachel's parents arrived right on time, entering our spotlessly cleaned apartment. The game started at noon, so my ride came to get me around 8:15 to go start tailgating. I was tailgating with my captains from last year, Chris and Jenny, and both of their significant others, and then about 8 other mutual friends. It was my first time getting to tailgate, and it was soo much fun. Cooking on the grill, drinking with everyone so early and outside on campus, playing different games... yaya. Jenny and I had tickets in the student section, and everyone else we were with were on the opposite side of the stadium. There is a big difference being ont he sideline cheering and being in the mass of the student section screaming. Our tickets were in section 113 and up in row 50 or something.. but that just simply would not do for two former cheerleaders who are used to being in the action.. not watching it from so far away. We squeezed, pushed, and pretty much jammed our way down to the very front of section 108.. directly in front of our cheerleaders. It was so fun to see them, and they all came up and gave us hugs and kisses.. which then made the people who were glaring at us on all sides back off and realize we were 'cool' ;) lol. Rachel and all of the swimmers were just the right of me so I went back and forth visiting them as well. I really don't remember much of the game because I only watched the cheerleaders lol, but we won, yaya.
After the game, we went back and tailgated some more, Jen, Ted, and Jeff joined up with us. I went over to Rachel's parents tailgate for a bit and then ended up riding with them back to our apartment. We got back around 5 I want to say, but I was drunk, and the sun had made me so tired that I don't really know. After her parents left, Rachel and I laid down on the futon and the couch and woke up around 7 p.m. The nap was wonderful, gave me a 2nd energy and I was ready for the night ahead. Everyone I knew had taken a nap, and apparently everyone Jen knew did the same because as soon as I got up she was like.. I want to drink, I want to drink, I want to drink!! So she came over while Rachel and I hopped in the shower and got ready. We waited around to see if our other roommate John was going to show up back home but he never did, so we eventually left for campus. Saturday night made me soo happy because it was the first time that swimmers and cheerleaders actually partied together as a group, and a pretty large one at that. We partied at Ted and Jeffs, the 400 club.. aka home to Kat, Jen Merte, and Rory, and then went to 509 aka Shannon's place, for a dance party haha. Next door they were having another party so it was fun to just go from house to house. We ended up back at Ted and Jeffs at the end of the night, playing KINGS, beer pong, and other fun games. I sat outside on the tramp talking with Rachel and Ben. I have no idea what time it was, I want to say around 2 or 2:30 but we eventually realized it was late and we wanted to go home. We called a million people before we finally found a sober driver, Ben's Boiler Gold Rush Leader.. Stephanie. I'd like to say I remember what she looked like, maybe what car she drove, but I don't remember anything other than she is how we got back to McCormicks haha. Ut oh.... houston we have a problem. I left my keys at Jeff and Ted's on the counter in the kitchen.. CRAP. We tried breaking in through my window.. then the sliding glass door.. damn McCormicks and their high quality security doors and windows. It took about 45 minutes before we realized John was home in bed, and we spent the next 20 minutes violently pounding on his window to wake him up. He basically thought Iraq was bombing his room because we were going crazy.. I would have been afraid to see who it was also, but he eventually got up and let us in. It wasn't until I was in the shower that I even realized.. Ben came home with us... Ben was staying with Rachel tonight... weird but exciting at the same time.
I can't remember if it was that night, or the night before, but I talked to Chris. FUCK ME!!!! Grrr.... why was I so dumb.. what the hell was I thinking. How can I go so long without talking to him and then decide.. oh tonight would be a good night to try and talk to Chris. Of course he was a jerk... talking about how he meets 2-3 guys a day, goes on at least one date every night, how he gets blue balls from making out with so many guys but not giving them anything else. "the guys here are all so gorgeous, but they have no persoanlity" At one point I realized I didn't want to hear any of this crap and it wasn't the best idea I've ever had to talk to him, so I said my goodbye and said I hope you find the right guy or something to that affect. He responded with.. "how can I do that when I've already had the right guy?" Well unless he's had some amazing relationship in the past year that we've been apart, which is possible because I wouldn't so much as know since we don't talk, I assume he was talking about me. IF I'M THE RIGHT GUY THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE FEEL THE NEED TO SEARCH WHAT ELSE WAS OUT THERE!?!?... and why does he not talk to me for months, and then when he does talk to me. tell me about his blue balls????? Anyways, being drunk as I was and him putting up an away message after that fun last message, I decided to text message him. I told him to save us both the trouble of ever having to face and deal with these emotions again and just never talk, respond if I talk, or communicate with me again. I'd rather him not talk to me ever again and just let me sort out things the way I have the past year, than have him talk to me and throw in my face him dating a guy every night and dealing with blue balls... but then speak about me as being the right one.
Yesterday was definitely a lay around and recover day. I woke up quite early again though, around 8. Sat in the living room with Rachel going over all the details and memories of the past two days, watched a movie. We went out by the pool to study.. but it was hella hot and we didn't stay out long. I went to tumbling at Cheer Express with Drew, Jen, Jeff, and Ted in the afternoon. We had a roommate dinner, cooked steaks out on the grill and watched some episodes of Nip/Tuck. All of us feeling the effects of the long weekend, we retreated to our rooms earlier than usual. I did some more homework, chatted for a bit online, and have no idea what time I eventually laid down to a movie and fell asleep before the opening credits were through. Today has been nothing special so far. Another start to another week of school. The first round of exams are already starting next week, crazy.
I should stop writing and do some studying or homework, but I don't want to just yet. I just want to listen to some music and do what I love.. write/ramble on about things. I'm gonna end this post here instead of make one ridiculously long post and start another one about other topics.
