Well: First Semester's over...
And looking back, the only word that can adequately describe it is "wow."
Well lets start with the last few days before re-capping the semester.
Tuesday was pretty long. Woke up around 9:30 to go to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, then went to my 10:45 english exam and rocked the hell out of that, then flew over to my math professor's office to see that I got an extra 15 points added to my test becasue of the re-writes, and got an A on that project that took me 3 all-nighters to do. Then went to the dining hall with the crew, and then went to my education final and got my journal report back that was 14 pages and got a B+ on it. Then went to sell back my books but the line was too long so I hit the road for home. Had to drive home to drop off some stuff so I didn't have to haul everything back wednesday. So I got home around 4:30 and ran some errands, got subs with my parents and then since the people I was gonna pick up for the party never called me back so I went back down and got there around 7:15. Mike and Kait went to Shoprite, seperately, but were both there to get stuff for our respective parties. But I ended up having to go cuz we needed coke to mix with the Malibu.
So here we go the night I've been waiting for since the beginning of the month. Had a 30 pack of beer on ice. BTW quote of the night goes to Mike when he told me that his cooler didn't have a leak stopper. He says, "dude...there's um, no stopper!" **blank stare**. It was just really funny the way he said it and the facial expression he had. Sean and his friend Nick got here around 8:45, and then Carissa and her girls got there like 2 minutes later. She brought her cousin who lives in my neighboorhood, Sarah and Sam who were there the first time, and this girl Nikki who I haven't seen since like 4th grade, she remembered me as always wearing my Rangers clothes. Well we all got loaded pretty quickly, I remember doing a wicked kareoke to "Vindicated" then the girls played mini-me beer pong on Brian's computer desk, and then we just wandered down the hall to Kait's party. Apparently asshole phil was supposed to come down, so I immediately got my 'posse' together and "Italian Mafia" walked right on down to Kait's room expecting a fight. Turns out that it was a hoax, DAMN I wanted to kick ass. It will happen soon enough though when I go up there over break, right Kait? Then some other stuff went down and needless to say I wasn't happy, then felt madd depressed all of a sudden. Came back to my room and found Carissa passed out on my bed after having like 10 shots and then a beer or 2, and the other girls were pretty messed up too. Well they woke up, and were supposed to spend the night, but I find Carissa all ready to go home and stuff and it was only around midnight. Me, very confused, must have came across as being really pissed off, so they just left. A very wierd night. I apparently flipped out and went and wandered the hotel parking lot, prompting everyone to go and try to find me. Thanks everyone for your support tracking me down and listening to me babble and yell and stuff. Then Brian and Sam came back to the room that was completely destroyed and cleaned up, thanks! But gah, 2/3 of the people I invited never called back and/or never showed. Thanks a lot. The night turned to shit real quick and I ended up just hangin out in my room until 6 as I didn't feel like going to sleep and made myself another drink around 5.
12.21.2004: A night I'd rather forget.
That leads me to another point, I kinda realized that I'm not cut out for this kinda of stuff. My problem is that when I become friends with girls I tend to get too attatched too quickly. In other words I want more than just friends right off the bat and it just doesn't work that way. I made that mistake with amanda and I vowed I never would do that and rush things again, but I guess my feelings got the best of me again. Shit now I really hope that this doesn't mess anything up on the friendship level with Carissa as she is just awesome in every sense of the word. I just gotta take a step back, and keep our friendship good as its been without making it uncomfortable, as I am very comfortable being myself around her. If I came across as being really wierd and pissed off the other night I'm really sorry and feel bad about overreacting. :(
Wednesday morning I woke up without a hangover which is suprising because I drank a lot the other night but lol anyway. Kait, poor thing, woke up with a throbbing headache and the sensation of the room spinning. Anyway we went to lunch with Shadow and Brian, and then Kait and Shadow tagged along with me to sell back my books. Waited on line for like a half hour but got 100 bucks back so I guess its all good. Then we all hit the road back to the hotel for the last time to pack up and stuff. Said my goodbyes and then booked it for home around 4:30. Made me kinda sad leaving, but it was comforting knowing that we'd be back in a month. Called Carissa in efforts to straighten things out, hope it helped. Went to work that night and everyone was madd suprised and happy to see me.
Also worked tonight 5-midnight, and was full of priceless moments. Oh my God the people that work during the week are awesome lol. Me, Sidney, and Dominique had this whole conversation about Tickle Me Elmos. She thought I said something like "go home with elmo" sooo quote of the night goes to Sidney:
Dominique: "Hey Sid, you're gonna go home with elmo tonight and be butt-buddies with him."
Sidney: "OH HELL YEAH!"
Other priceless convos and then the "where's waldo's balls" can that I altered to say that. Also one of my cashiers came in and gave me a Christmas present which was totally unexpected. That's never happend before, I guess my "Boss" status helps, eh? Made me feel good to know that I'm loved and respected like that in there.
ALRIGHT now lets recap the semsester.
WAYYYY back in september it started off with me and Brian's room being COMPLETELY different from the layout we came up with last year lol, and I remember the first thursday night, we didn't do anything, Brian slept, and I sat on the computer, lol sounds retarted right? Then we moved on and I had the whole obsession with Danielle. God. I even drove up 3 times randomly just to see her. Great girl, just some issues there, and decided it wasn't worth the risk to pursue anything more with her. Then we had the Yankee playoff thing with the sox and all, the Lake Esplanade and ultimate frisbee, then throwing shit out the window and making movies, then all the DRunkin Donut runs at 4 and 5 am. Then I became friendly with Carissa who then brought her girls down one October night and we had an AMAZING time. Then they came down the next week and yeah, more good times, got really realy drunk lol. Then we kinda had a lull point where I started stressin about grades and the massive amounts of work I had, then Jeff came to visit a few times, then more work, Carissa and Casey came down and slept over, which was fun, then more work, then we put 800 lights up in the room, and then we had me and Kait's drunken Christmas caroling one drunken thursday night, and the fire alarm that went off 9am the next morning. All the friday morning english classes that I went to hungover as shit, much to the suprise of Krystle who never thought I'd make it a few times. Then more Dunkin Donut runs, and WaWa runs, then old school elmhood bowling, to more drunken thursday nights, then one where I was DESIGNATED DRIVER cuz I was sick as fuck that day. Then the hardcore work at the end with the observations, the journal, the project and the essay. How can I forget the DANCING MACHINE?! The man who supplies the shit. Then finally getting in a groove at the weight room with Mike. Man countless good times, but it all came to an end on a rather forgettable night, but hey, they can't all be great.
All in all it was a pretty good semester, considering we never thought we'd make it in the hotel. Becoming friends with Shadow, Andrew, and the other guys down the hall is pretty good, but the two people that really made the semester for me were Kait and Brian, I don't know what I would have done without the two of yous with me in the hotel. Let's start off with the roommate. It's not very often that you get to room with one of your best friends. I was lucky enough to be able to. Countless good times, "IM VIETNAMESSE BITCH!" Who could ever forget that first night drinking? Remember we both had no intent to drink for a while? Boy that went down the toilet pretty fast. Thanks for bein there to listen to me about some stuff, especially the whole Danielle thing, and then for bein just cool. I <3 you like a brother. Kait, you are just absolutely amazing. Probably my best friend at MU without a question. We always seem to do everything together to the point where everyone thinks we're dating, "HEY DONT WALK NEXT TO ME THAT HOT GUY OVER THERE THINKS WE'RE DATING!!" Then I grab your arm and give you a hug then push you away and we yell at each other. Ha. Then our WaWa trips, and DD runs and stuff. Good times drunk as hell with you. Thanks for being who you are, and if anybody tries to tell you anything but that you're gorgeous and a great person they obviously have their head up their ass. Love you like crazy.
I think this one definitely takes the cake for longest LJ entry ever, my fingers hurt now and I gotta get some sleep before working noon-6 tomorrow, Christmas eve baby.
If you read all of this, I thank you for taking the time to do so. <3
Goodnight.
