My Life, My Life, My LIfe. Swagger of a College Kid. In The Dark, For A While Now.
I may have just had the strangest night of my life.
I will try to write a brief overview, because I know in a few days, I won't remember any of it as well as I do now.
Tom Verga came to chill for the night, gave him a fun little tour of the campus, then went to dinner with Melissa and some friends. He got to meet Nancy, it was wonderful.
Then a group of us hung out in my room like always, and Samantha came to join us around 9:30 when she was finished with work and a paper she was trying to end. Spent a lot of time in the room, until Melissa and John were finally motivated enough to go out, Samantha told us to all got together, so Tom, Rogers, Melissa, John and I went over to see if anything was happening at Rugby, fail.
So we went to really lame parties at the Soccer Suits. No room to stand, no place for your coat, and they changed the song after 30 seconds of each, with pauses of silence in between. It was really special. But whatever.
Then we hung in the hall for a bit until Melissa was informed that our friend in a different room was having a little party with people we actually knew. So we go over, and Vika is happy we showed up, but Joren was there.
Back story : He avoids me like the plague, goes out of his way not to walk near my room, won't come out to use the bathroom when I'm in the hall, eats at the commons really late after I've left, things like that. It's really sad, but he says this is the only way he can get over me and we can be friends, so whatever. Can't change him, though I need to change as conditions for friendship. Unimportant.
When we get there he is already really drunk, but he looked very happy, so that was good at least. The he starts to worry people by taking giant gulps from a handle of vodka, good idea.
So he just keeps getting worse and everyone tries to keep him from having more but he keeps getting the handle and gulping it, nasty shit.
Melissa ended up having to take one drink away from him, and to keep it away she had to get rid of it, which went so well for her also, but actually she seemed alright.
I had a Pepsi, it was pretty good. I was thirty.
Eventually, after texting Samantha about Joren being a mess and looking like death, we left and went to see what was happening at the theme houses. Melissa knew people in the party, but I didn't, and I saw that there was an RA standing guard at the door. Melissa and John tried to get in, but the "bouncers" kept them out. We all took a walk to "The Other End" but it was closed early for no reason so we walked back. Melissa and John decided to try again to get in that party, so Rogers, Tom and I went back to the dorm room.
We put on crazy music loud, and went to find Samantha, who was with Nancy. Hung in the hall a bit with them, and Pete joined us. Saw about a million people running in and out of their rooms and getting ready to go back out. It's sometime after midnight now, around one I'd say.
Eventually John and Melissa come back, and we're all sitting in the hall, Melissa went to bed after eating something, and the rest of us were talking and fooling around. At some point another RA from the second floor came up to do rounds, and he is adorable, and at this point wearing makeup. He looked very pretty. Also during this time the boys room right next to us is flooded, and the other RA called to have it fixed and about ten minutes later we watched some poor guy try to fix the problem and clean the room at 2 in the morning.
Samantha made Joren's friend Maren call him and bring him back to the dorm, so eventually he stumbled in, barely making it down the hall. He hung out a few feet from me, talking to Nancy and Samantha and the three of them were laughing forever.
Rogers and I went off to talk, and suddenly there was a war in the hall way. Two guy who are friends with a girl on our floor, Vic, came up to kick the ass of a guy on our floor, Zack, who apparently said something about Vic. Who knows?
They try to start a huge fight, and Samantha is freaking out, so she yells to Tom to go hide in her room, since they don't know where I went, and she was guarding him.
Zack tried to tell them that there was no need to fight, but they didn't take that well. Samantha told them to get off the floor, so they left, but came back soon after. Samantha then tells them they need to leave and threatens to call Public Safety. They freak out, and leave, but threaten to come back. Good stuff.
Almost had a really bad moment with Joren, but it was avoided.
I'm having trouble remembering all that happened, but soon after Nick came back to the floor smelling of pot. He was asked about it, said it was someone smoking near him, then left. I was interrogated about my disappearance (but I just went to talk to Rogers, so it was all good). John didn't believe my story, but whatever, he's been wrong before, nothing new.
Nick comes back to tell us that Jesus is in our lounge. We investigate. He was indeed.
A man, who looked a lot like Jesus is depicted everywhere, named Josh was hanging out in the lounge waiting for Vika to come let him into her room where he left his stuff. He was apparently a 26 year old Art Professor at some county college. So we talked to him for a bit, then went and hung out in the hallway again. Talked for a while, saw a lot of interesting things and heard a lot more.
Could hear Joren yelling about Counter Strike from his room, he did not die from the epic amount of poison he drank, but instead stayed up all night.
At some point Jesus leaves the lounge, and walking past us, asks what Joren is yelling about. We tell him, and he says that he was once a professional gamer, so we tell him to go into Joren's room and offer his help, because what would be better than being drunk off your ass and having Jesus walk into your room to teach you how to always win at counter strike. Jesus gets half way there and finds a cigarette on the ground. He says "I am Jesus, free cig" looks up and says "thanks Dad".
It was good shit.
He goes into Joren's room and looks to see what is happening. About five seconds later we just hear "you noob."
It was funnier at the time.
Joren comes out to go to the bathroom and gets stuck in a half hour nerd chat with Jesus about counter strike.
In the end, we have a ton of easy mac, lose Tom (who I later found sleeping on my floor face down, next to his rolled up sleeping bag), chat with Jesus,try to see who is gay, lose John and Pete, then lose Nancy.
Jesus, Rogers, Samantha and I sit in the hall until twenty to six in the morning, when we give up and return to our rooms, and Jesus to his lounge.
I didn't make it far enough to put PJs on, but woke up in jeans and a sweater, tossed on shoes and walked Tom to his car around 9.
I then went back to bed until 1 something, when I got up and ready for the day, or at least put on PJs.
At 2 I joined Paul, Zack, Rogers and their friend Gordon, for lunch at the Snack Bar.
Been hanging around the dorm, watch Borat, ate dinner, hung in the hall and talked about the snow since then.
There are other parts of the night missing that even I know better than to post for anyone to read. but suffice to say, crazy shit went down.
And on Wednesday I find out if I'll be hired as an RA next year, can't wait.
There is supposed to be over a foot of snow here tonight, so I'm hoping no classes tomorrow, which means I get a four day weekend, and have only two more days of classes until Spring Break, which I can't wait until.
And hopefully things with Joren are getting better. Today he's come out of his room when I'm in the hall to pee a few times today, and he even walked passed me twice. I'm moving up in the world, I can just feel it.
Maybe someday soon, I'll be allowed to say "hi" to him again. Who knows.
P.S. I also found out the my friend on the floor's dad was the VP of Pepsi
