Road to Damascus Pt. 1
Years ago, you said to me,
"I think I'm losing the fight,
Or the fight's losing me, I'm not certain,"
And here we are-the closing scenes,
And all the house lights come up,
Oh, the falling of our final curtain...
I've played a role for so long that I've forgotten myself,
But I said I'd be there and I'm keeping my word,
You've played yourself so well,
And now I want to be you,
A great imitation of losing my nerve.
The great day has arrived. How interesting. So far its been good. Yesterday was hell in a hand basket. But we started counting down the time at about 10 last night. People ebbed and flowed around our little group. Amelia (my new fav person) Trey, Gadi(a friend of trey's who is rather awesome), Will, and Christian made an appearance. We waited until midnight with good conversation, and at 12 we left for the Wal-Mart...because of fucking bible belt liquor laws we were down to wine beer and champagne, which is what we got. We went to hang out at Gadi's. The boys amusingly opened the champagne and we toasted. I also bought (with b-day money from friends yay!) a Riesling and a Chardonnay (jeez i like white wine don't i). Will played his sax for me which was kinda amazing. At some point i slipped in the back with the more mature party-ers which included a bunch of people i didn't know. We chilled and talked. Gadi made me a martini and a few hits of KB that he saved for the occasion. We meandered back to campus at about 3:30, where i promptly fell into a coma.
Now today...as in day light. Something feels off, but that may be the lack of food/ hangover im enduring while being at work. Coin toss at this point. I'm pleasantly happy (or i will be as soon as i get food). Mum is coming in tonight, tomorrow is made of win and Saturday im gussying up for the dinner party at home. I'm going to need a weekend from my weekend i think.
