But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship is the one you have with yourself.
...And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well thats just fabulous. ~Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City
That show has really grown on me lately. Theres more to it than just 4 women that drink cosmopolitans, go out to eat and gossip about who they screwed the night before. So I haven't done an update of significance since the beginning of the school year because I really haven't had time to breathe until now. Even though this semester was challenging physically, mentally, and emotionally, it was definitely the most rewarding. Heres some highlights and "low" lights that stick out in my mind.
~Party at April's! The first time that I got sick from getting wasted. I had 5 tequila shots among a couple bottles of smirnoff and who knows what else in less than 1/2 hour. A little while after the last shot I ran for the bathroom and pissed my pants while puking all over the toilet and possibly the bathroom floor. After changing into some of April's shorts, this boy Kyle who was at the party who I had seen around Akers last year came up to me and asked me to come "dance" for him. Being intoxicated, I was like "OK!! whoo hoo!". The next thing I knew we were in April's room and he was trying to force himself on me. And then I felt sick again and headed to the bathroom before I did something I would have regretted. The sweet revenge was my roommate drawing all over his face and Erin taping it. The best part was that when he woke up and saw it all over his face and didn't remember any of it lol. Even though he wasn't someone that I knew very well, I was still shocked at what he did. It really showed me that I do need to watch my back at parties because you don't know who you can trust. The very next night when Sondall and I went to her friend Dao's party I once again got drunk. However, I did discover a talent for beer pong. The best part was going to Pamela's afterwards and having her record my drunken rambling. "I go to church at least once a week! haha" "Sexism and racism COMBINED" I'm such a philosophical drunk lol. Of all the parties some which were lame this is the one that I'll remember the most.
~My "relationship" with Harold - if you can even call it that. Things started out great a couple of months ago. The first time we hung out we had great conversation and seemed to have a lot in common. However, I barely see him because he supposedly is busy with work and school all the time. And he's tried so hard to make time for me. But why is it that the last time I went over there he was playing video games with his roommate if he supposedly has no time? I need a little more than an IM to say hi every now and then if i'm going to be in a relationship with someone. I guess he considers me to be his girlfriend. I'm debating on whether I want to officially break it off with him or whether I should just not say anything and leave things the way they are now since things would basically be this way if we were not in a "relationship". Not that I really have anyone else waiting to hook up with me anyways. Now I've seen both sides. I've been in a serious relationship and a very casual relationship. I kinda had a friend with benefits over the summer too. I don't really know what I want right now as far as guys go, but I do know eventually I do want something deeper than a fuck buddy or a laid back see each other once a month relationship. I do get lonely sometimes and I do miss having a boyfriend even though I don't really miss LJ himself. Its hard especially around this time of year when all you want to do is cuddle with someone while its snowing outside... I'm just going to embrace being single.... for now..;)
~Working for Vetward Bound as a PAL (yup thats me peer advisory leader). It was difficult being that I've never had to tutor anyone in any subject before. It was really overwhelming the first time I had a group of 4 or 5 students waiting for me in the classroom. But I put my heart into it and my boss gave me an evaluation that was really touching and almost made me cry. She is recommending me for a pay raise - hell yea! and for lead PAL next year. I love the job - what other job pays you to go to parties or eat dinner in the cafeteria?
~My friends! The dinner crowd - Sam, Pamela, Sondall, Tom, Joe(Chicken), Kelly, Nicole, Brett and anyone else that happened to join us was great for the most part. The dinner conversations were definitely amusing. Especially that certain guys think they're hotter than James Dean or any other celebrity and that they can't think of any female celebrity that they fantasize about. I think that I'll miss everyone over break. Even though I really don't like Hubbard Hall for many reasons which would take a whole other journal entry to explain, it was fun hangin with everyone.
I would write more but my cat allergies are really getting to me. There will probably be more to come being that I have 3 weeks of freedom ahead of me. :)
