We shall see
Yo. I see that my most recent entry was a survey. I'm glad I didn't end up posting a long entry of what was on my mind that night. Speaking of that entry, I saw that I had one comment so I looked and it was a link to a free porn site! Wtf? I was scared...this is LiveJournal!
Nothing and everything is new. I can't even think. Let's see. I spent the day in Portland with Chelsea a couple weeks ago. It was so fun. We started the day off by going to lunch at Chipotle. I went for the first time with Kathy earlier this month and I AM HOOKED. Chelsea took one bite and did the same thing I did: "Oh, this is pretty go...OMG THIS IS GOOD!!!" We joked that they are going to have to hire workers to catch people after they fall over from their first bite lol. We drove around the airport after that and took pics in front of the PWM sign. What a chore that was haha. We went to the Old Port after that. We spent like, an hour at Mexicali Blues. I haven't been there in ages, which is weird cuz I used to go there all the time. That store will forever remind me of November 2003. I got some earrings, of course, and a headband and then we went on our merry way. Without even realizing where I was, I looked up and BAM, right there in front of my eyes: Bull Feeney's. I literally almost started crying. Chelsea was like "What's the big deal?" And I was like "Omg, I cannot put into words how beautiful of a night was spent up in that place." She thought it looked dark and sketchy upstairs, which it kinda did cuz it was the afternoon and the upstairs wasn't open. It shocked me how upset I was when I looked up and saw our window. I want to go there so bad and see Hello Newman and I keep thinking of asking my friends to go, but I knew I wouldn't be able to think of anything but NYE if I went in there and they wouldn't care. Not even being able to walk by the building proves that I will only be able to go back there for the first time with Heather and Sara.
Chelsea and I quickly vacated the area lol. We walked around and shopped and explored things like we were tourists. We just did the silliest things. We walked ALL day in Portland. We were so fucking cold by the time we left which was into the evening. We spent far too many hours looking for Coldstone, which I think may have closed. I'm not sure? But we couldn't find it and I have been there before. But the story of it all is really funny. By the time we were done in the Old Port, it was after supper. We got an appetizer at Chili's (after I peeled out at the red light) then got dessert at Coldstone by the mall. We had a really fun day. We even tried chocolate-covered bacon. It wasn't bad. I wouldn't eat it every day, but the sweet and salty was good. I had been telling Travis that I was dyyyying to spend a day in the Old Port. I was so glad Chelsea and I did that.
I went up to Orono two weekends ago for Alumni Pep Band. I left Saturday morning and hung out with Sam and Jude for the afternoon. We got lunch and then went shopping. It was lovely to see them. I met James, Jay and Sam Hostetter at the University Inn after that. We hung out for a bit, then went to the basketball game. It was Band Day...at night, like it was February 11th, 2006. Bob and I have an ongoing argument about this and I know I am right but he refuses to believe me. Trevor met us at the game. We had so much fun. It was weird to see the Pep Band again! Oh, how I have missed thee. James randomly left during the game to go to a faculty recital. The rest of us met a bunch of people at Pat's after. We parked at the hotel then Nate and I walked over to Pat's while Jay looked for his gloves. Not a big deal, a 5 minute walk, but it was BELOW ZERO. I kept saying the whole walk "I dunno how I survived 5 years of this. I dunno how I did it!" We got to Pat's and unthawed and got food and drinks and hung out there for a while, then we spent the rest of the night at the Roost. Quite a few people went. I was supposed to hang out with Hayden, but that never happened. Jay bought me a sour appletini. I was feeling pretty good all night, but I was barely drunk. Jay was wasted and put music on the jukebox and then grabbed me and started dancing with me in the middle of the bar. I wonder where he got that idea??
I felt so very weird Saturday night. I was happy and a little sad and I was glad to be there but it felt weird being there this time of year and I was excited and lonely and vulnerable and everything all at the same time. Jay was acting strange towards me and I had an interesting evening with someone else and then another person was texting me throughout the night and yet another person was calling me all night cuz he was doing the same thing I was in a different part of the country. The combination of my emotions and those four people made for a very overwhelming evening. There were so many things going on, it was almost too much for me to handle. We stayed at the Roost til close then went back to the hotel. We had a few drinks, people left, then we talked and went to bed. Jay had to sleep on the cot cuz he was the drunkest. There is a funny story about that. Jay, James, Bob, Kaitlin and I all slept in the room and they did NOT charge us for 5 people. And James even asked them to bring in a cot for us and they did...happily. Heather, I think we got scammed. After such an intense evening, I was very happy to crawl in bed, even if it was with James lol. He is soooo awful to sleep with. I didn't sleep that well and we had to get up early, but that's nothing new. I really missed Heather and Sara that weekend. If for no other reason, then for the planning and preparation of things, our hotel habits and getting ready together. Jay and I were the only ones who took showers in the morning and everyone thought I was getting all dolled up cuz I quickly straightened my hair. Couldn't believe it!
We got ready, then went downstairs for the continental breakfast. I asked them to call the front desk to see what they were serving, but no one would lol. I didn't need details, just if it was a big breakfast like last time! It was, but it wasn't as good as it was at Homecoming. We left the hotel (a sad occasion as always) and went to the game. It was so incredible to see the alumni band! There were so many of us! I looked up and it was just like being at a game my freshmen year <3 I didn't even feel weird playing in the band. It felt so natural, like nothing had ever changed. And then I got sad. The game was a blast and it was nice to play again, especially pep band songs!!! I hope Chris decides to do it again next year. It was definitely a success all around. We went to Pat's after. The service was sooo bad. There were about 40 of us and they had two waitresses. We were there FOREVER. I was overtired at this point and it was getting late and I knew I needed to drive home three hours and then I looked around and saw everyone at Pat's on a Sunday night and suddenly realized that thing aren't what they used to be. I went up there with the intention of a fun weekend without feeling too nostalgic, but a lot has happened since the last time I went up there and seeing certain people and being in certain situations throughout the weekend mad me really quite sad. I was going to depart for home after Pat's, but I went to go visit someone instead. I was glad I did. I didn't end up getting home til 11 that night, but it was worth it. Overall, a good couple days in Orono.
I was so sick last week. I was tired Monday, but I figured it was from not sleeping much in Orono. I went to work Tuesday and started feeling achy that night. I woke up Wednesday morning, went to Mom's office then went home and couldn't get off the couch til Saturday night. I was so, so achy and I had chills and a fever. My chest was on fire and I was just a mess. The doctor did a nasopharyngeal swab to see if I had influenza. It came back negative, but it just tests for A and B and there is still like, over a 30% chance you can still have it with a negative result. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if I did have the flu. I was sick. I haven't felt that bad since I was a kid and I would have to go to Memere's house and she would take care of me. She told me I could go over there and she would try to take care of me lol. I went back to the doctor Friday for a chest x-ray cuz my chest was burning and I was coughing and SOB. No bronchitis or pneumonia, though. Who knows what the hell I had, but it was bad. I finally went back to work Sunday. Jen put me in Groom Room. Thank God. I've been taking it easy and I feel much better now.
I went out with Laura last night. We went to Wal-Mart even though the roads were a little slick and then we were going to go out for a drink, but we ended up getting warm beverages at Dunkin' Donuts. That was a good decision. The place was packed at 9 pm on a Tuesday night, mostly riff raff. I always feel really good about myself when I walk into the Sanford Dunkin' Donuts. I shouldn't judge, but man. Laura and I had a nice time. We just talked and laughed. What was that thing you said about robotic exterior? What was the word before robotic? I can't remember, but I've been laughing about it all day. We stayed out pretty late, then I brought Laura home and laid on the couch with Lily since Basil was upstairs.
Oh! I don't think I posted about this. We adopted a cat, Basil, one of the kittens we fostered. We brought the others back to the shelter the Friday before I left for Orono :( The poor babes and Mama. We miss them, but they all found good homes by the end of that weekend. I left specific instructions and Rachel and Camille made sure only 100% perfect adopters took them. A nice older couple took Pepper and a woman who adopted a cat a few months ago took Nutmeg. I'm not sure where Mama went, but I was assured it was to a nice home. And here we are with Basil. Or "Baaaaaaydole" as we call him lol. He is SUCH a pain in the ass. They all were when they were here, but then they had each other to play with and keep busy. And Ginger kept her babies in line. Now, Basil is raising hell around here and into everything. I guess we forgot what it was like to have a kitten! The last time was when Simba was a kitten in 1998 cuz we got Lily at the shelter when she was 4 in 2000. Lily is NOT impressed with Basil AT ALL. And he keeps pestering her cuz he wants to get to know her and play. I feel so, so, so bad for her. She has gotten better this week, but I know she is upset and it breaks my heart. She hasn't even been laying with me at night sometimes :( Hopefully, they will soon be friends.
I was snowed in the house today. We got over a foot. It was supposed to be one of the worst storms in decades and last for almost 24 hours, but it has already stopped. GOOD! I fucking am so sick of the snow. I didn't mind it growing up, but ever since college I have hated it. And this year...honestly. It's been a bit much! We've had several storms where we have been snowed in. I felt anxious sitting around the house all day. I did a few productive things and Mom and Tim were home, but I wanted out. Especially since I was sick on the couch on my days off last week and I've worked ever since. I am so excited to get out tomorrow and see the world!
