ups and downs
somehow, the last 14 hours or so have managed to be really exciting... and I slept for 10 of them!
that's right, I got my first full night's sleep that I've had in quite a while. I took a sleeping pill and was intent on hitting the hay earlier, because I knew I had a lot to do this weekend, and not too much time to nap. well, last night, around 11:30, vanessa and this whole group of people come into the apartment carrying this girl. said girl was drunk off her ass, and vanessa asked mari and I if it was cool for her to stay in her room tonight. she was really sick, and her roommate was mean, so she needed a place to crash.... or, to put it more accurately, she needed a toilet to hurl in.
I got nervous right off the bat. I realized the bathroom would be unavailable for the remainder of the night/morning, and then I was glad I hadn't had too much to drink that night.
anyway, I shoved in some earplugs as far as I possibly could, ignoring any damage they may have been bringing to my eardrums, and tried to find my happy place. somehow, I managed to sleep pretty deeply through the whole night, and had some vivid dreams. in one, I dreamt that my family and I were out on the ocean, watching some kind of movie in rafts. it was like a swim-in movie. I guess other peoples' aquatic-themed dreams lately have inspired me. in another, I dreamt that mari and I were really good pals, and that we were calling each other on our phones a lot (while still being at school)... some big storm was coming, and she was calling me to ask me if I wanted to go out and get anything before the storm hit. also very weird. in the last one, I dreamt I was out at the mall with ali, someone else I can't remember (it was either mary, mari, rachael, ashley, or someone I didn't even know), and aaron was there too. I don't remember much except going out and waiting in the car in the parking lot.
when I woke up, mari was in the bathroom doing her contacts, and drunk girl (/hungover girl) promptly got up from her bed, ran to the bathroom, pushed mari out and proceeded to drive our porcelain bus for a good few miles. I plugged my ears and tried to hum a happy song.
I never even got to see what drunk girl looked like, but I didn't want to. I now have an even more strict point of view on drinking than I did before. but, let's not get into that.
then, I check my email, and I've got a real big story from karl--- he proposed to his girlfriend!!!!! he took her to las vegas last week, popped the question, and she said yes!! it makes me so happy. it's funny, since her name is kate, and now there'll be another kate preusser in the family. they're going to get married after karl's brother gets back from iraq, which, hopefully, will be sometime when I'm still here. I'm invited to an engagement party going on next week, and I'm so so excited!!!
I went to go visit mary at el campus hamba huice, and she invited me to the aquabats show tonight, and I'm going. I decided I'd rather get off campus than go to the campus screening of the nightmare before christmas. I wanted to see the movie, since it's a disney print (from the studio, not available to the public), and I love it, but I think I'll just ask for the dvd for christmas.
anyway, how often do I get to go to shows? aquabats this month, rufus the next.... glee!
on my way to uhall to go check my mail, I took a long walk all the way around campus. it was very humbling. I looked out at the hugeness of this city from the bluff, felt the breeze in my hair, and, despite the preppy people, remembered why I love this school so much. I might reflect on this more in detail later.
also, I got a package notice in my mail, and I have no idea what it is. but the package center isn't open on weekends, dammit. is someone up to something? ::looks suspiciously at all her friends::
I got a postcard from shiboo!!!!!! it was FUNNEEEEEE too.... I love the picture on it, boo!! (a little boy holding out his hand to a deer like he's feeding it something) ...how random! how kreeton!! ::hugs shiboo::
I also figured out what I'm doing for everyone for christmas. I hope you guys like what I have up my kreeton sleeve.... hehehe.... (it's not bad, really.)
now then. off to do some kind of productive whatnot, I imagine. perhaps first, I'll attempt to cook a grilled cheese sammich, now that vividsoul has taught me how. ::still laughing from that::
up, up, and away!
