Blackout
It is a well known fact that I like alcohol and that I can drink a lot of it without losing my faculties. However, last night was not one of those nights. This morning when I woke-up, I went to the kitchen/ living room and was quite perplexed by what I found. There were items such as a bottle of tequila, wine coolers, jalepeño poppers, amaretto, 2 empty cases of beer, shot glasses, cups, plates, and a Hello Kitty marshmallow lollipop. I tried to figure out where some of the stuff had come from. I remembered the beer but the rest was a mystery.
Our Friday evening started early. Jason came over to our house after orchestra with some beer he had leftover. The three of us (Devin, Jason, and I) started drinking and socializing. We had a pizza, lots of laughs, and Jason and I really bonded while talking music (and about our insecurities). Jason usually goes to bed early so Devin and I took him home a little after 9 I think. When Devin and I came home we continued to drink and we were pretty intoxicated considering how early it was. Around 10:30, our friend Tim (doctoral conducting student) called because he was having some personal drama he wanted to discuss with us. He ended up coming over, chatting, then he wanted to invite another friend of his, Derrick, over also. Tim and I went to pick up Derrick around 12:30 and by that point I was pretty drunk. When we came back, we all did Dr. Pepper shots (where you drop an amaretto shot into a ¾ full glass of Miller Lite and chug it). According to Devin, we did three pretty much back to back. Sometime after that is when I blacked out.
This morning Devin filled me in on the rest of the evening's events. I found it both humorous and disconcerting that I was awake for 3-4 hours of time I absolutely do not recall. Around 2am we ran out of beer and decided we wanted more. We went to the Shell station just a block away but it was 2:15 and they stopped selling at 2. After that, Derrick recommended we go to his house and pick up alcohol he had there. Devin explained this plan to me but apparently I could not understand it. Devin told me I said, “So, we're going to Derrick's place to drink?” and Devin replied, “No, we're just going there to pick up some alcohol to bring back to our place.” and then I said something like, “So we're going home?” I continued to be confused and told Devin he was driving the wrong way. On our way to Derrick's I exclaimed, “Wait! We have to go back, I forgot something.” Although I didn't explain further, they succumbed to my request and stopped by our apartment. I ran in the house, grabbed a bag, and brought it back with me and got in the car. Everyone asked me what it was, and it was my bathing suit and a towel. Obviously I was very confused about where we were going and why, but I have to say that's hilarious. At Derrick's place I saw the Hello Kitty marshmallow pop and he was nice enough to give it to me.
After a successful pick up of alcohol, we came back here and were drunken and rowdy. Allegedly I visited a neighbor who had his door open and I talked with him for 10 minutes or so. I have no idea what I said to him.
As funny as it all was, I really do need to be a little more careful about the way that I drink because obviously it could get me in pretty bad trouble. Luckily I was with close friends who kept me safe and happy.
