What a weekend.
Wow. This weekend was awkward. For those of you who don't know, I went to the Lafayette game this weekend. I'm still not sure whether or not that was a smart move on my part..but whatever, it's passed.
Friday night came around, and I went to my high school homecoming game just intime to watch the court presentation. I totally forgot that at homecoming the band marches pre-game (which is the only reason I went to the game in the first place) so I didn't even get to watch the show. Dammit.
Then the master plan was to drive back to natchitoches and drive down to UL with my friend Matt Parrish from back home. We got to lafayette at about 3:30 a.m. I was so f-ing tired but when we got there and finally got to bed, we weren't sleepy. So we got up and went to Mel's Diner. For those of you who are not familiar with Lafayette, Mel's is the shiznit. It's this 24-hour diner with really cajun waitresses and they serve the best damned breakfasts in the world! Wow.
We went back home, crashed and woke up at around 11 a.m. We needed to buy a tent and some food/drinks for tailgating at UL. That was a first for me. I have never gone tailgating before because I'm in the band here at NSU so there's not time for that. Plus the definition of "tailgating" at UL is WAY different than it is here. At UL, tailgating means "Hella Alcohol Consumption Pre-Game." Yeah, me and Matt went through about a case and half of Bud Lite. Then the drama came. Literally, it showed up. Or should I say "he" showed up.
Scott showed up at our tent with 2 of his buddies. Yippie. I get confrontation with no one to back me up. How fun for me. He looked pissed off at was smarting off to me at first, and when i asked him why he was like that he said "we need to talk." Evidently he got the message i told jacob to pass onto him (for those who don't know what the message was about, basically I just chewed Scott out through Jacob.). He was pissed and wanted to know why I felt like that. I just said "well you want play around and you think I'm going to sit around and wait for you and that's just not gonna happen. Eitherm you want to be with me or not. It's that simple. I'm not going to play your games anymore." His reply "I'm not playing games with you Raquel, I know this is hurting you and it hurts me that its hurting you, but you gotta understand, I need this. This is my time to really focus on whats important. I wouldn't be a good match for anyone right now." By this time, we are both in tears. At a tailgate party, mind you. So obviously my buzz was gone by now. There literally were tears in our beers. We hugged, he kissed me and told me he loved me. I did the same. Then he asked me if i wanted to go to the Kappa Sigma tent with him to hang out. Matt, who was watching all this, didn't think it was such a good idea, and I wish to God I had listened to him. When we reached the Kappa Sig tent, all these girls were like "hey scott how are ya" and all over him. I wanted to puke. Plus I was the only one wearing a purple northwestern shirt in a sea of red UL shirts. So you can imagine how awkward I felt. I told him I didn't feel comfortable and told scott i was going back to our tent. He walked me back and hugged and kissed me again. He also said, "if you ever need to talk to me about anything, I promise you that I will be here to talk. I'm sorry that I haven't been there before. Call me if you ever need me." Wow. more tears.
I love Matt. He held me and told me to get it all out because I didn't need to cry ever again over this. So after about a 20-30 minute boo-hoo session, I cleaned myself up just in time for "Katrina: the Sequel." A really bad wind-rain storm hit and we all got soaked to the bone. It was kinda fun, but then it got miserable. I was soaked for the entire game. Gross!
The game sucked. We lost. AGAIN. Then me, matt, and some friends from NSU went to the Keg and then Graham Central Station for some much-needed dance therapy. We went to Raisin' Canes after and then headed for home. Then Matt's workaholic ass got me up at 5:15 a.m. to come back to natch. He had to be back at work for 9a.m. bitch. I haven't slept in like 2 days. Anyways. I got home and then slept til about 2 p.m. YAY for sleep!
Went to the KKPsi / Phi Mu Alpha flag football game. Which was hilarious. Psi lost, sadly. But it was fun though.
Thats it. If you wanna know more, just call or IM me: TygrEmprys on AIM
