i got to san antonio early and had trouble tracking cassie down. when i finally found her, we lugged my shit to her car and i smoked a much needed cigarette. we got back to her apartment, i was impressed by how nice it was and told her so, and then i realized that i was really tired. those of you that know me well know that i can't sleep on my own, so i have to take sleeping pills to sleep for even five minutes. i took three sleeping pills and crashed on the couch.
cassie did laundry while i slept. i don't remember what we did when i woke up, except for the knowledge that beer had magically appeared in the refridgerator during my nap, and we used this beer in a drinking game whose name i've forgotten to get ourselves incredibly stupid drunk and then pass out again.
i don't remember what we did the next day. i think that for the next four days we basically shopped like maniacs. i love to shop. i am a girl, so that is a given. i'm a horrible money-manager so i blew all of my money on clothes by about day five. beer was continually involved in my trip from almost the time i got there to the time that i left.
we ate out a lot. we partied a little. we shopped, we...
i flirted a lot. most of the time i was too drunk to really remember what i did, but i do know that i didn't sleep with anyone.
the most memorable thing for me, honestly, was the haunted house we went to on halloween night. i've never been to a haunted house.
we stood in line, and i was - you guessed it - buzzed. this kid dressed in a suit with white face paint and a charlie chaplin hat kept wandering around the line and staring at people in a way that was reminiscent of a mime, but more resembled a kid getting paid to walk around and stare at people. i mentioned to him, when he stared at me, that he would be scarier if he didn't have pretty eyes. i guess that was my first mistake, because for the next five minutes while i stood in line he inevitably kept wandering back to me to stare at me in hopes of another compliment. it was like feeding a dog that isn't yours and discovering that it keeps coming back to your porch for more food. eventually he crept up behind me, got about an inch away from my face and screamed boo. i flipped out on him. not because he scared me, oh no... but because his breath stank. and he sprayed it all over me.
he didn't come back.
we went into the haunted house and i had a death grip on justin's jacket, and cassie's hand. some four hundred pound kid followed us in, and kept about a foot away from cassie. he worked for the haunted house or something, and kept shouting boo at cassie at odd moments, until finally it was her turn to flip out. she turned around and screamed 'IT'S NOT WORKING JUST GO BACK THE OTHER WAY' and he shut up.
i was the only one that got the shit scared out of me because i'd never been to a haunted house, and when people jumped out at me i genuinely freaked out. near the second half i'd gotten all my screams out and was really just having fun. i made the mistake of kissing one of the monsters on his mask, and was rushed by about five of them all pointing at random points on their masks and shouting 'RIGHT HERE, BABY.' it was all fun in games until one guy ripped his mask off and nearly forced himself on me, and then i started to get mad. justin dragged me on, and all was right again.
i kissed another of the monsters' on his cheek, and he hooked arms with me and we skipped the rest of the way through the haunted house. it was really cute.
i was betty, cassie was wilma, we were cute and we got drunk. it feels right when i'm down there. the plan is to move there in a year, when i have money saved.
second piece of news is - johnathon finally asked me out. i missed him while i was gone. i'm not sure how i'm going to handle this situation because there are so many factors to work out, but i hope this works out cause i've wanted him for a long time.
now i'm going to smoke a cigarette and dry my hair for work.
