sights and sounds pull me back down another year
So 2007 isn't off to the best start...
My camera has bad karma, I think. I couldn't use it for the first few days of my trip because it was on a weird setting and it was like it was only taking videos. But then Cer arrived for Ash's wedding and was able to figure out why it wasn't working. This makes Cer awesome! So then I got to get down with my photo whorish self. Until last night. When, about an hour into the new year, someone DROPPED MY CAMERA while trying to take a picture. And it landed on the lens and smooshed it on an angle, and now it's stuck out and BUSTED.
I am totally going to cry about this. I guess I should've gotten the fucking insurance after all.
FUCK.
I got drunk off my ASS last night. I don't remember the cab ride home at all. Or getting in or out or back up to the hotel room. I do remember everything at the club, at least. Including this one guy who wouldn't stop hitting on us all night. And then after my camera got broken he was like "Come on, we'll do a shot and you'll feel better" so I said okay. And he takes me up to the bar, orders two shots of liquid cocaine and then he's like "Do you have a tab?" And I lie and say no because seriously, what the fuck! And then he's like "What's your friend's name? We'll put it on her tab." And I said "No, that's mean. I'm not making her pay for this." And I glared at him. So he just walked away. What a fucking loser. I bet he never gets laid. So then I did put the shots on my tab because I didn't want to screw over the bartender, especially not when she'd been taking good care of us all night. So I took the shots back over to my friends. I don't remember who ended up drinking the other one though.
Definitely could have done without the extra shot though. Clearly. I went into the bathroom to pee once we got in and then I couldn't get out again. I was in there for a long time and everyone started to worry, but I just could not stand up!! Mark tried to come in to check on me and I yelled at him because my pants were around my ankles. But I was wearing a really long shirt so it wasn't so bad. But then I knew I was going to throw up, so Kelly brought me the garbage to use as a bucket. And she must have tied my hair back because it was in a bun this morning with an elastic that wasn't mine. And then after I spend who knows how long throwing up in the bathroom, I still couldn't leave because my issues with standing hadn't gotten any better. So Kelly got me and put me to bed. I think she may have had to dress me in my pajamas too.
I love you, Kelly! Thank you!!!
Unfortunately no one thought to remind me to take out my contact lenses. And I sure as hell did not have the presence of mind to do that! So I woke up with them in this morning. Fun! But apparently I wasn't too sauced to remember to take off my eyelashes, haha.
Also, despite all the vomiting I still feel pretty shitty today. Mostly just a headache and I suspect that's from a lack of sleep more than alcohol because of the way it feels, but it still sucks.
Oh and I have been losing all kinds of things this trip. Like my cute little blue squishy foam pillow!!! *cries* Now what am I going to use on the airplane??
And I lost the lock off of my suitcase. I hope my mom doesn't kick my ass.
And I didn't get to do any shopping, really. :( I bought one bra and that's it... But it's a really sexy lace bra. I hope Colin likes it! :D
But there have been good things this trip, too. I don't mean to sound like there haven't been.
I got to see Ashley get married! And I got to meet Bryan! And Ashley was RADIANTLY BEAUTIFUL and I love her so much. And Bryan seems like a really awesome guy and I really like him! So that was really nice. And Ashley is seriously awesome. She brought me new OTP 'verse Padackles fic printed off of her computer. The morning of her WEDDING DAY! Because she knows how much I love that 'verse and she saw that it was updated and she just loves me that much! Best girlfriend EVER!
And I made some new friends with people in the wedding party. And got drunk four nights in a row.
And Cer fixed my camera! Even if it ended up getting broken for real afterwards, that at least gave me occasion to take lots of pictures first. And the memory card is okay. It will probably be forever before I'll be able to SEE the pictures off of the camera, but I'll have them eventually at least. And Katie has to send me her pictures from the first few days before it was fixed.
And Kelly and I are friends again. :) When they arrived, she walked into our room and just said "Hey Sam" and hugged me like nothing was wrong. And I really respect that. And I thought well if she can be the bigger person and be so mature about it, then so can I. So I did. And then we just hit it off again. And then she took care of me when I was drunk, which makes her the most awesome person so far this year! :D
And Bryan lent me his laptop and the hotel has wireless. Which is how I'm updating right now. \o/
So things could be worse. I could REALLY do without this headache. And the camera thing still makes me want to cry. But...whatever. I'll deal.
PS: HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!! :)
