What a Weekend

I'm finally making a post for last week... I decided that it was now or never; otherwise I'd just forget about it/ put it off until it was too late or irrelevant. So yeah. Last weekend.

Was awesome! It started with a party on Friday, which was hosted by my future roommates and I, and took place in another friend's townhouse. The main event was playing a drinking game to the movie Black Dynamite, which is a must see if you haven't ever seen it. When I went to Tr's house for Easter his brother showed us it, and it was pretty funny. But yeah. Even with me cutting out some of the recommended rules for the game, it was still a lot. I... finished like 3 Smirnoff lemonade... things by the end of the movie, and it only continued from there. The night was really fun (sorry, no pictures though).

Then came Saturday. Every year my school, the school on the other hill and the town host a festival and concert event that's collectively called "OH Fest".

Tr and I wandered through Main Street in the afternoon, and while it was too chilly for shorts, the weather was pretty pleasant.

Then, in the evening there was the concert. I kinda only went to see Pitbull, and he was pretty good.





 

Then on Sunday my friends and I had a fire on Table Rock, which is a spot in the forest above the school that looks out into valley. It has a really awesome view, actually.

We has smores and had a good time embracing our pyromaniac sides.

This was our teepee of fiery death.

(Sadly, no pictures of me.) And that was last weekend.

Subway Customer Appreciated

So today was Subway's Customer Appreciation Day, where if you got one sub you got a whole other one for freeeeeeeee! In light of this oh-so-delicious deal, my friends and I when on over to the Subway on Main Street and got some subs!

Poor Au looks so perplexed... she watch as I (without explaining it to anyone) went all panorama picture with my phone. But yeah. I still have a whole sub left. Guess what I'm having for lunch/dinner tomorrow.

After out Subway escapades, we went to New Dorm 1, which is where all these peeps (with the exception of one) live. We played pool...

And then Apples to Apples (no pics, sorry). Then some other peeps came and we chilled in the third floor lounge and generally acted like idiots.

Tr and his roommate gave us a finger puppet show. I think Tr's finger puppet is being help up in this pic O.o

All in all, it was a pretty decent day.

A Happy Ending

This happened a month or so ago... I haven't bothered to make a post about it until :/ Better late than never, though, right?

Remember the heart-wrenching (lol) story about my stolen lost iPod and how I was unfairly denied winning another one (post is here if you really feel the need to read/reread it)? Well, that story now has a happy ending! Say hello to my new mp3 player, the Archos 43!

Isn't it pretty? It was definitely worth saving two paychecks for it... it's 16 GB of Android goodness. Take that iPod. Buahahaha! I won't go on about how awesome it is, but here's a (pretty fair, in my opinion) review of it: linkie linkie

Sigh

Surprise, I don't have any drama to whine about, haha. Actually today was a pretty good (albeit exhausting) day.

It started with me having breakfast with the college president. She had gone down to Florida a week or so ago to visit with and alumni and parents and my own parents went to the dinner; apparently they talked about me a lot, so she wanted to meet me. I was pretty much dreading it, but in the end it wasn't too bad: she's pretty cool and reminded me a lot of my aunt. She was interested in my writing too (apparently my parents mentioned how I write on the side) so I gave her my binder o' typed up stuff: it contains a few short stories, a couple poems, and what I've typed so far of my never-to-be-completed-cause-I'm-lazy/busy story called Windsail. It's such a beast... I think the current size of it is 60-someodd pages, 10 pt, single-spaced, Times New Roman. Yeah. So we'll see what she thinks tomorrow, when I go and pick up the binder. I hope I don't really sound ungrateful; I just don't think my stuff's really good enough to bother her with; she's got more important things to do, lol.

Now on to my more... sigh-worthy news. Tr has mono. Ruh roh. He was feeling eh for a few days, during which I kept my distance, but before that there was plenty of kissing and whatnot. I told A... all she really said was "oh dear." Gah, that's not what I need the nursing student to say! So we shall see, won't we? I'm starting to get paranoid; every ache, pain and sore I'm wondering "god no do I have it?!" But I can't really do much now... well, other than keep my distance from Tr. Aaaah I don't need thiiiiis!

Summer Yearnings

I am more than ready for the summer, this kind of summer:

Newest Addiction

... is lyric videos. Like most things though, they are not created equal. Here are a few, however, that I particularly like:








And the best one I've seen so far:

Never a Dull Day

Haha! And you thought I had disappeared from the face of the earth, hadn't you? Well, that was not the case, as you can see, though I have been too tired/lazy/busy to really blog. So let me catch you guys up.

To start, I'm dating someone, who we will call Tr. He's a pretty cool guy. To continue, S is being--to put it veeeeeery bluntly--is a bitch. Now, you may think I'm saying this unfairly, or that I'm not giving him a chance, blah blah blah, but hear me out. To start, J, Tr and I are all friends. J is an ex and he has no problem with Tr. In fact, he invited Tr and me to a little shindig that happened at his townhouse a few weeks ago. There was some drinking, some Rock Band-ing and S was there. I wanted no trouble so I kept interactions with Tr at the friend level and low-key. And S seemed pretty cool about it. And I was like "huh, cool."

The next day I went over to the townhouse to chill with J and I passed S on the way and gave him a pretty neutral "hi." He didn't say anything, but I thought nothing of it. Then, as I hung out with J, I got a few texts from him, and they went something like this:

"Where's your boytoy? If you want somewhere to spoon you are welcome to use my bed. I recommend you start by sucking his dick."

Okay, woah. Too far sir. The thing is, the texts irritated me at best. I ignored them and went on with my life. But seriously, is that necessary? If there is any ex that should hate me it's J: while we were dating S was telling me to break up with him, and in the end I did and went straight to S (not my greatest moment, but J was such an asshole then; he's shaped up since). So it irritates me that S, who I cleanly broke up with and for whom I gave the courtesy of waiting before dating again, is the one who is acting like this.

Whatever. It's his loss. He's a senior and is graduating soon; as awful as it sounds I'm not really up to the effort and drama that will ensue if I try to become friends with him again.

In related news, J moved out of the townhouse and into a (pretty awesome, if I say so myself) super single in one of the other dorms. He's been saying he wanted to move out for a while, since he's lost all patience  with the guys in the townhouse (L, P and S). They stay up late and are noisy, and he hears them talk shit about everyone (especially when A is around, who J completely and absolutely loathes).

He tried to get me to take sides in regards to A, but there's no way I'm going to do that: if I ide with J (who I would side with) then I have to live with A giving me dirty looks for the remainder of the semester, and if I side with A... well, J's too good a friend.

But yeah, that's what's been going on with me. Tired of my drama yet?
