i am not a person
Oh my... alcohol is bad. Seriously, I need to take a break. As of the time of me writing this I have some serious apologizing to do later. Ugh... I am not a person right now. I am far from it.
So last night, after the Masala show I returned to my room. There were several options for going out, but two involved me paying money and the third required a car. So that was out. Oh well, I thought, i'll do some work. Of course, when I get back I call Brandon and he wants food as do I. So he comes over and we order Domino's pizza. Almost immediantly, Reggie IMs me to see whats going on. I tell him i'm chilling and that i'm not up for really doing anything else. He's drunk in Ehaus and say she has a handle of vodka. Well.... my mind tells me that Chris Love had really wanted to go out and get drunk to help him get over some problems. So I share the plan w/Reggie and Brandon to go to Chris' room and just get drunk and be extra special.
So we arrive and happily Rachel (Chris' best friend) is there too. Drinks are passed out and we amuse ourselves watching Dave Chapelle. Well all I know is that eventually we were feeling it. Next thing I know my phone is blowing up and two more of my friends Charlie and Adam want to come and join the fray. They arrive and drinks are once again passed around. I had so many shots; I need to get my life right. Anyways then Chris gets on the phone and his ex, Jake, calls. For some reason I get on the phone with Jake to ascertain the situation. Jake is drunk as hell; he's gone. Then he starts talking about some Rodney King-esque incident on Franklin. Next thing I know Jake is in the room. So we've got the (ex) couple over there, Rachel and me looking at each other, Brandon drinking quietly, and Charlie and Adam in another corner just being special. O...k..... riiiiight.
I don't exactly remember when it started hitting me, but it was somewhere between Chris falling on his ass and me and Reggie having a semi-fight. All I know is that Jake left and we later decided we needed Cosmic. So our drunk asses stumbled down Franklin, but the line to Cosmic Cantina was just too long. So we crossed the street and went to Miami Subs. We ordered and it was all good.... for approx 5 minutes. Then I saw Tom (yes the male cheerleader i've been obsessing about since freshmen year). Since Reggie is a cheerleader, I made him introduce me. Then my drunk ass proceeded to tell him how I thought he was hot as hell and all that mess. Then he laughed and said I looked good too and gave me a hug. Priceless. Later, Chris Love had to go outside because he had to throw up. That was the opposite of cute. So I followed him out there and comforted him and then we came back in. Ok at this juncture, I became a little loud and unneccessary so my friends Adam and Brandon bodily dragged me from Miami Subs. It was at this juncture that I because belligerant and tried to fight Adam off; I then fell headfirst on the pavement. Brandon picked me up and everyone (sans Rachel cause she did the smart thing and went to her dorm) stumbled drunkenly back to Chris' room.
Once back in the room, I proceeded to cuss Reggie out. I feel so so so so so aweful. Oh heavens, I don't even know what set me off either. It was like one minute we're all sort of there.... next thing I know i'm just telling him about himself.... ugh. I need to find him and apologize. *sigh* I am not a person.
chill wednesday
Today was nice. The weather was nice and everyone was out in the Pit. My English 84 class was cancelled and so I was in the Pit from about 11 am to 12:40 doing absolutely nothing which felt nice. It helped to alleviate alot of the stress i'd been feeling. But now i'm just slacking off and accomplishing nothing. I haven't done any MCAT stuff and clearly my first practice MCATS is Saturday. I'm scared and excited at the same time. And come hell or high water i'm going to sleep on Friday at 10 pm. I swear it right now before all of you.
Anyways... getting back to life real quick. So I as i'm hanging out in the Pit with Chris Love and Reggie, who calls me? JEFF CASH!!! Yaaay! He tells me he's coming to Chapel Hill later on that day. I get excited. I hang around in the Pit and eventually see James, John, Tracey, the Qs, most of the Alphas, Tiffany, David Ruskey, Chip, and Tyrell. So that was happy cause I feel like I haven't seen someone in a long while.
I had an appointment at Student Health at 1 so I went to that. Happy to go and happy to be working towards health. Got back to my room with the intention of laying down and ended up going back to campus because thats when Jeff called. So I get up to campus and spend perhaps all of twenty minutes with them; then Justin and Jeff left to look at apartments. I accidentally met up with Jermaine. We had a nice little chat about his work/money/food situation which ended in me taking him to dinner/lunch at Che Lenoir. We had a fun little time inspite of the fact that the food was scarce and choices scarcer. I'm sure he thinks i'm insane by now and was running away. Ha.
Anyways after that Garrett and I went on the UNC Black History tour. I really learned alot. Afterwards we went on a hunt to find out where SHAH was being held. We did find it (after stopping to talk with my friend Lashaun and getting helpful advise from Matt) and were of course late.
After SHAH I met up with Brandon and we went to the game. Sometimes I had being good. As Brandon says it makes all but a few games SO boring. But we won, so oh well.
Anyways I think i'm going to continue to slack and perhaps even go to bed early. I really need to read this book Garrett gave me so perhaps I will do that for half an hour before sleep.
double O.. C
Well.... another weekend here at UNC has come and gone. Out of this weekend I have definately made one promise to myself: NO MORE DRINKING ON FRIDAYS!!! I mean did I really fool myself into thinking that I would drink until 3 in the morning and then get up and go to my MCAT class at 10? I mean but really... thats not going to happen.
So let me tell you about Friday. Note: Some events/names have been left out to protect the not so innocent.
Anyways Friday afternoon was fun; I wasted two hours of my life in the Pit when I really should have been studying/cleaning/sleeping. Anyways though, I campaigned for Bobby and Jenny in the Pit for about an hour and a half. PLEASE THEY REALLY NEED TO GET IN! Vote Tuesday! Ok... lets move on shall we? I saw the usual Pit folks hanging about and then got a glimpse of Christina DeLane who I ended up having lunch with. She was crazy and hadn't had the appropiate amount of sleep; so I have to leave her. I got back to my room and proceeded to clean it up. Then I washed clothes/slept... but there was more washing clothes and wasting time online than there was sleeping. Ugh.
At this juncture, it was time for me to get my life right and go see the Vagina Monologues/go to a party. So after procrastinating like a pro I got ready (including a shower, ironing clothes, hype music, locating my money/ticket, washing the hair, drying the hair, styling the hair, and make up) all in the span of like a hr and a half. Yes I am a pro! Anyways the Vagina Monologues were SO hot! If you didn't see them Fri/Sat. then you really are wack. They were out of control. I went by myself, but I ended up sitting with my friends Win and Quinton so that was happy.
After the show, I walked down to my friend Julian's and after several calls we managed to gather our crew together. Then Julian's friend drove us over to Merritt Mill to the "Lovers and Friends" party. It is at this point that I will start leaving out names/events because it was all just too much. But let me say what can be said. So we get there around midnight. And after I spent the appropiate 5 - 1o minutes greeting the host that invited me (David) I got my cup and proceeded to get right. What? I'm not ashamed. Anyways they had beer and alcohol. But then... I discovered that they had 151.... it was over. Literally, after two cups of coke and 151 I was done... but you see I kept drinking beer until right up until the time we left basically. Anyways though, the usual BGP stars were there. Of course the shady folks were there and in fact, now there are two. Its amazing to me that people don't think other people see them. Cause I was just observing one of the Shady McShaders and I was amazed at the audacity. But maybe it was a the alcohol... but no it wasn't.
Anyways though it was fun. The walk back to campus was horrible, but lets move on.
Saturday went by quickly. I went to my class and was asleep for the first half of it. Ha.. yea. In addition I sat two rows back from the teacher and there was noon in front of me so clearly he saw my dreaming ass. Its ok though. But next Saturday is the first full length practice MCATS so I need to get my life right and i'll definately be asleep friday night by 10 oclock... 11 at the latest.
Sundays suck. Its like a great weight hanging on me because I know that the weekend is over. All I can do is struggle through to the next weekend. How sad is that? Oh well.
my co-worker
Ok so... I work at Fetzer basketroom on the weekends. Now... I have a coworker who I would also called my friend named TJ. On this particular Sunday, TJ didn't come in on time. This is not unusual so I ignored it, thinking he'd be late as per usual.
Surprise, surprise TJ didn't show up. I was angry and then I got over it because I so much work to do and I didn't really need someone talking and distracting me.
So i'm in the basketroom today from 1 pm to 8 pm. At 6 pm TJ IMs me to apologize. Whatever. He says he's coming in and I say don't becaues work is over in 2 hrs. He insists and then logs off.
Ok so then its 7:30 and he hasn't showed up. As i'm folding the monstrous pile of towels that must be washed each weekend, the door slams, I look up, and there is TJ. He looks so rumpled.
"Jess... I've just been through hell. I just saw damnation.", he says.
So then he relates to me what little he can remember of last night. All he knows is that he went to a party on Graham St. and that there were bands and kegs and then he was in Carmichael. Apparently he slept in a hall in Carmichael and then went home. He wakes up this morning and can't stand up. When he does finally manage to gain the ability to move, he immediantly goes to his bathroom and throws up. Then on top of all this, he decides that getting high will make him feel better. So he proceeds to smoke.
That my friends, is how he came to me. Currently he's trying desperately to remember his social security number so he can write on his time card that he was at work for an hr (which sadly isn't even true).
Wow.... I need him to get his life right.
hahahahahahaha (maniacal laughter to cover up the pain)
Haha.... so clearly I have been gone for more than a minute. Buts its ok. I can't even begin to describe all thats happened so I won't even attempt too.
Anyways though, the stress level is at about a 7 right now. I know I need to calm down. I need to do a Whitley Gilbert and just "relax, relate, release!".
*sigh
Well, at least I got to see Jeffrey this weekend! Yay. We had a nice little family reunion Friday night. Bernard and a carload of 7 people which included myself, Chris Love, Garrett, Justin, and Reggie went to Legends. It was First Friday (the 1rst friday of the month for all you slow folks out there) and Jeff was performing in drag. And being that I hadn't seen Twin #1 for a good two months, I was too excited for the opportunity to go.
But first, lets go through the Friday afternoon because it was nice.
After classes ended, I met up with Lashaun and we went to a nice lil breakfast lunch at Ye Olde Waffle. That was nice. It was so old school cause that is our joint. He showed me "the claw" which is what we give everyone who is out of line. He used it on me, but then I rejected that, reversed it, and used it on him. The look on his face was priceless. He related to me more stories from his time in Italy. I'm so jealous! I really want to go abroad. Hell, I really want to go anywhere that is not Wilson, NC. I really need to stop procrastinating on my summer plans too. Ha... erhem... not really ha but yea. Anyways though, after that I decided to go to the mall and I did. Along the way I saw Nama and two of her friends, one named Ashley and I can't remember the other's name. We rode the bus over; relating stories from Greek parties along the way. Once we arrived we split up and went out seperate ways however. I was looking for shoes and/or a jean jacket, but I ended up coming home with a new pair of jeans and freshly done eyebrows. *oh well*. Anyways I got back on campus and Brandon called. He wanted to hang out and of course i'm always up for that. So on the walk back to my dorm, I picked him up at the door of Morrison South and we came to my room. He proceed to tell me about his crazy Thursday night and I proceeded to laugh my ass of at him. Haha. He's crazy. Anyways, then we decided we were hungry and we ordered a pizza. At the same time we decided to watch the Matrix Revolutions since Brandon said he hadn't seen it. However, about half way through the movie my roommate returned. She started talking on her phone LOUDLY and we couldn't hear. Revolutions already doesn't make sense and if you can't hear ALL the dialogue then there is just no point, so Brandon left.
Ok so back to the other story, Justin called me and said that he was headed to Legends. He gave me the low-down on how he was getting there and i called Bernard to secure my seat in the car. Then we went to go pick up the rest of the crew. Anyways so of course we were late... because minorities can't be on time... any minority. Its so sad. We're just holding ourselves back. So we're in the car and we're being unneccessary as always. In fact, i'm surprised a sink whole didn't open up inside that car and swallow us all up. Haha. Although it was nice to bond over our mutual dislike of a certain person. But see i'm nice and i'm not even going to take it there. But let me move on.
So we get there and being use to the packedness of Saturday nights it was very empty. Anyways though but the stage area was nice and packed. And why were there idiots there 1) smoking in an enclosed space and 2) tall as hell and all up in the front row. Wait... let me give a quick shoutout to whoever the heck I was talking to about McDonalds and the dollar menu. Yes we will always have the McFlurry.... don't ask because I don't know.
But happy because Jeff or should I say Veronica Steele won! We acting like some groupies! It was great. It was nice to see the Jeff-Justin reunion. They crack me up. Ha. Wow. I'd forgotten about them. Anyways after the competition was over we danced a little bit, walked around the club a lil bit, and just in general chilled. During one of the chill moments we came to the conclusion that everyone in the group is attractive so yay for us (as if I didn't already know MY status. I mean... lets be real here). Afterwards we made the usual foray to IHOP, were unneccessarily loud, and then came home.
Bedtime: 6:30 am Saturday
