yesterday was fun
so i just have to point out that thursday was so beautiful i sat out in the sun for two hours in the afternoon and even got myself some color (aka sunburn. but i love it anyway). and shorts! oh i love wearing shorts again. so yesterday wasn't as nice out (rainy and stuff) but it was still warm so i wore shorts again. awesome.
meanwhile, my only class (english) was cancelled because my english teacher was hosting a congressman (patrick murphy, of bucks county PA) at her house for dinner and she invited all her students to go. along with the draws of meeting a cool political figure, there was the additional one of her awesome house - right on spring creek, built in the 1860s as a brewery (complete with original beer vaults!!) and eventually a brothel (haha awesome right??). i am a sucker for history....not to mention free food. so i borrowed smelly's car and went. first of all it was an awesome house. three stories, mostly all the original construction, and completely full of antiques and awesome knickknacks. and not just any antiques, antiques from all over world. fucking insane. she also has a purebred, national champion st. bernard named evie who is adorable. i wuv puppies. so we met the congressman (i picked up even more obama swag, because for some reason the obama people were there too.....and they just called me to spend the next two weekends knocking on doors....sorry no. love the dude, but no) who was a professor at west point before 9/11, after which he served two tours of duty in iraq, so he had a lot of interesting things to say and it was nice to have that kind of perspective. also pigged out on maddddd hors d'oeuvres (i am so glad i spelled that right my first try) mainly consisting of salami, roast beef, cheese and strawberries from wegmans. oh wegmans how i love you. diana also took us inside the beer vault, which was awesome. it's basically a giant man-made cave. you walk up to it and it gets about 15 degrees colder before you even walk in. ughhh so cool. i want to have a cool house like that someday. (also, while i was there, my phone died for the first time.)
so i came back, charged my phone for a little then went to park the car. tried to call smelly to give him back his key, phone died while i was waiting for him to call me back. rode back across campus to my dorm in the rain and charged my phone. he calls back, i ride back over to the other side of the campus....in the rain. again. hang out for a while. ride back to my dorm again around 10, put my phone on the charger (because it's gay) and get ready to go out. around 11 becky and i head over to rae lynn's and then out to the frats. rae lynn heard some frat ("phi kappa...something") has a live band. there had been a PSET social at AXP around 9 but i'd obv missed that in my travels, but knew there was a party there afterward (supposedly). So we check out phi kappa tau first. not the one with the band...not that we ever got in. stupid sluts cutting in line and pretending they know people. so next we wandered over to locust to check out AXP...only to hear a lot of shouting and not a lot of party sounds. meanwhile next door we noticed a line, so we investigated...and it was phi kappa psi, the one with the band! hooray!
got in easily, and saw about a billion (or six) people we knew. the band was good - mostly played covers, but good ones of good songs. there were cheez doodles, and becky and rae lynn were concerned about my mental state because i actually ate some. i just love cheez doodles, okay?
so around 12 my phone dies for the third and final time that evening - which was DEVASTATING, because i am a drunk texting fiend. i was lost for a while, i didn't know what to do with myself. becky and i wound up dancing on a table to don't fear the reaper, however ("AHH I LOVE THIS SONG yay blue oyster cult!" "i don't know it!" "oh come on becky...more cowbell?" "ohhhh") after which we encountered some dudes. i wound up talking to this kid luke for like two and a half hours, it was awesome. not even about bullshitty stuff, we had like a full out conversation ranging from travelling to sports to history to politics to literature. it's just a shame he was only visiting and goes to maryland, i definitely had a good time talking to him. like, we talked about politics for at least 45 minutes and didn't argue at all even though he's a die hard conservative john mccain fan and i have an endless one sided love affair with barack obama. it was probably the most enjoyable political conversation i've had...ever.
(i should mention i managed to remember his name because as soon as he introduced himself my brain immediately tacked "skywalker" onto the end of his name. I AM REALLY COOL OKAY.)
we finally peaced around almost 3 - which was weird because before i started that convo i was bored and tired and wanted to leave (around 130ish) and it was becky who finally wanted to peace. so the guys walked us back to the dorm, i flopped into bed and plugged my phone in and finally got like 4 texts and a voicemail from about 2 hours before and was upset i missed them and it was too late to return them (sorry arvo and smelly). passed out around 4, woke up around 1:15 (oops). then went downtown with addie and becky today just enjoying the nice weather and got my first frappucino in about a hundred years. like it's been so long i ordered a small instead of a tall. i know, total blasphemy.
so i guess i should start my paper that's due monday or do laundry or something, but i'm just feeling kind of lazy. good timing for that right? whatevs. two days (less!!) till my birthdayyy! :)
