Last night
Carina and I went out for the first time for real. We went to Shenanigans, which is usually only my bar if its someones 21st birthday but, since it was the last night of finals week, I made an exception. We partied and saw a ton of people. I guess that is one advantage to SIUE, no matter where you go, you will know people.
I called my friend Kelseys boyfriend and yelled at him for being a pussy for not going out (he was working at Starbucks at the time), I sang praises of Barack Obama and public health care with this dude from back home (Weber), I saw my old RA and he accused me of being underage... ya know, bar stuff.
Carina put all of her drinks on someone elses tab and got me a few (hahahhahaaaaaa), she also stole a random full pitcher of what we decided must have been Bud Light from the bar and gave it to the guy who was driving us home... or would have driven us home if I hadn't decided to walk to Jimmy Johns to see what Amanda/Finster/Tom were up to. Somehow I called Josef on the way and told him to come, which he did, with a couple of his friends. Alex picked me up in the McDonalds parking lot and drove me the rest of the way (thank goodness for that guy!). I don't know when he left JJs. He just dissapeared and Amanda was there, but now I have no idea why. I know more people we know showed up, but its kinda hazy who.
So we were all chilling at JJs when Carinas friend came in and was like "Sarah, Carina is in your car and wants to talk to you". I was like "oh no" (completely concerned and dramatic because I was drunk). Evidently "talking" was her puking out the side of my car. Did I mention David was driving *my* car? Yeah, so got her all cleaned up and David took her home. When I came back inside my sammich was gone, except the meat. Josef totally ate it, and I totally ate the meat plain. How classy is that? Someone got the idea that we should have been drinking so Josef went out to the car and got beers and Amanda gave him her keys to get her beer. Keys that were returned to me after Josef called me at 9:30 this morning, which is the only reason I am awake (we got home at 3:30, I appreciate his punctuality, but 6 hrs is not enough sleep on my one duty-free day off after being wasted! and the stairs were difficult to navigate).
After JJs Josef dropped his friends off and he and I went to the same party we went to last week. You know in Anchorman when he's like "we've been going to this same party...", yeah, ya know. Anyway, thats this party, but *this* party is not as cool. Somehow someone noticed that you can see right in their neighbors window from the back door so I went over to the neighbors apartment (because when I'm drinking I think everyone should be glad to meet me whether it is trespassing or not). They were really nice though and completely amused that we were watching them. Seriously, I'm glad thats the way they went because, in retrospect, thats a pretty creepy thing to do ("hey, whats up, we were just watching you...").
So that party was lame, and the same, so Josef stole and cooked us waffles and we headed out about 3:30. That brought my total food count yesterday to a cookie, a peice of roast beef, and an Eggo. Yeah, I should probbaly still be drunk. When we got to my house I realized I didn't have my keys but luckily David left the door unlocked when he brought Carina home. I remember going back to the van and whining very earnestly "I'm so dissapointed, its unlocked!", Josef must be impressed.
Tonight is girls night with some of the old 3 West chicks and the newish girls. We're all wearing pjs, bringing food, a $10 gift exchange Item (I'm thinking maybe some bubble bath and then something totally ridiculous like a tall boy of Colt45), wine (or something to share), and sleeping bags. Jamie and Liz planned it. It sounds super cheesy but after the Shenanigans of last night I need a night of pjs and presents. Also, this will be the first time I see Racheland Clints baby! This calls for a camera.
So all of this could be summed up as: I really really really love Christmas break.
*wisdom teeth out Monday. I'm scared :(
