A new love.
Hello,
So, I have been having quite a lovely spring break. I have been putting off this paper that my professor said don't put off until the end because it's kind of complicated, but hey, that's life. I will worry about that when the time comes. As I said, spring break has been fabulous. I have been staying up daringly late, which is something that I forgot I love. I haven't done it too much since this semester has started, but I will have to revive this habit come summer. Also, sleeping in. What a joy of life that is to me. I love skipping those morning suicidal thoughts and waking up to a brilliant blue sky and temperatures of 70 degrees or more. Fabulous. Life is good. I forgot that over the past few months, and I was fooled into thinking that school and work are the only things in life, but I was so wrong. So many lovely things. School really taxes me, emotionally and physically.
Now, the title of this entry is "A new love." That of course is referring to the Cosmopolitan. I might have mentioned that I was going to have a few drinks with Michele, Art, some of their friends (who as it turned out were PJ and Amy who I would like to now consider friends of mine, provided that the notion isn't too forward), and Kyle. Well, I did do that, and lost my Cosmo virginity in the process.
We used SKYY Citrus Vodka, Jacquin's Triple Sec, light cranberry juice, and lime juice. They were sensational. I have to back Emmett from Queer as Folk with this. He never actually voiced just how much he loved Cosmos, but considering that's all he ever drank (with the exception of a bloody mary one time when he was getting "served" by Dijon, like the mustard), I know that he loves them. I love them as well. A truly delightful, refreshing drink that one can sip throughtout the evening. I had a superb evening. I don't often meet new people, but that night I did. PJ and Amy were great, and I really enjoyed their company...not to mention the company of Michele and Art who are always a pleasure. We watched some television for a while, a show I had never seen but was entertaining, then we watched a short stand-up act with Bill Hicks which was brilliant and hilarious. The best part of the evening was sitting around in the kitchen sipping drinks and chatting. I had a lovely time (to be repetitive)!
After Kyle and I left the party, Michele and Steve decided to take us for a drive. Bob came, and I had a quick conversation with him...shouldn't have, but did. The world never spun like that before! Anyway, to make a long story short, most of the ride is very fuzzy in my memory, but I do remember going to Sheetz so Michele can get food (I really, really didn't want to go there at the time, but was drunk enough to be talked into anything.) After that, I went through a time-portal and it was today.
Today I was slightly hungover. For some reason, though, when I am hungover I am very productive. It's weird. I feel sort of shitty, but I manage to get stuff done that I put off and put off for weeks. Today, I cleaned my whole room, washed my car, waxed my car, vaccuumed the interior of my car, washed the floor mats in my car, and went through a bunch of papers in my room looking for important things. Later on, I went to the movies with Kyle and his sister Lyndsay to see Scary Movie 4, which I enjoyed. Right after that we went to South Side Bowl (all roads lead to the South Side) and bowled two games during Cosmic Bowling. I had a good time, even though I wasn't in my A-game. In fact, I was feeling rather sick there, but I bit the bullett and forced myself to have a good time. Kyle got really mad there, and don't feel like going into why, but I will say that I am sort of mad about the same thing, but am ignoring it for the sake of goodwill towards man.
Anyway, after that I came home and played on the computer for a bit, made dinner, and headed into my lovely, clean room. I started watching "The Island" with every intention of just watching it while I ate and picking up Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince after my food, but the movie hooked me. Let me tell you why. I absolutely love Ewan McGregor in the movie, as well as Scarlett Johansson to be honest. So, I ended up finishing that entire movie, entranced the entire time. I really, really liked it. So...that brings me to now. I am so tired, and it is very, very late. I have Easter dinner tomorrow, so I can't sleep ridiculously late, followed by work. I want to be asleep, but I just can't. My mind is buzzing, and I am going to attribute it to all the Snapple I drank during the movie. My dad just bought a case of the peach tea, and I fucking love it. I suck those things down at an obnoxious rate. Anyway...I've rambled enough. It's time to go look at MySpace (briefly) and lie in bed hoping that I will fall asleep before it starts getting light out. If I don't feel it, I will just pop some good ol' Tylenol PM, the vanilla flavored caplets that I bought.
On a quick note: the other day, I bought Tylenol PM so I could force myself to sleep a lot during spring break. I saw that there were two choices when going for the Tylenol PM: Regular caplets, and vanilla caplets. There was no price difference, and the only difference between the two was that one was vanilla flavored. I chose the vanilla, out of sheer curiosity. When I opened the bottle, I discovered that it smelled like candy. I tasted one. It tasted like candy. So, now on the marked is Tylenol PM with a pretty strong sleep aid in it, looking, smelling, and tasting like candy. I also discovered that the "child resistant" cap does not need to be in the opening position to be opened without much difficulty. I do wonder if there will be a lawsuit any time soon about some poor kid who ate an entire bottle and went into a coma. I guess all we can hope is that Tylenol knows what they're doing and you can't overdose on a bottle of those. Fat chance, though. Dolts.
I'm rambling. Good night.
