wowza!

me, kyle, matt - liquid cocaine shots.
i stole matt's hat after he stole my camera.

so - friday night. overall, an amazing time. the guys were great and we all had a blast. the entire night was spent at blue bricks, where my personal bar tab was about half the total of what the guys bought/gave me. according to my arm tally (apparently this is what they do in mankato....), i racked up 3 long islands, 2 tequila sunrises, an amaretto sour, a snakebite shot, a liquid cocaine shot, and half of a bacardi-coke handed to me at last call. i wish the st peter bars were open until 2:00. i ended up losing my camera for about 15 minutes...i found it in matt's hand back near the bathrooms - he was taking random photos of himself and his brothers.

matt, nick, me, joey (?), kyle, bob

i was also told by two (random, non-phi delt, prob about 50) guys that "gustavus is for stuck-up bitches/cum dumpsters/daddy's girls and their asshole pimps." let that one sit for awhile and tell me what you think. i was informed the next morning that i told one of them i was "glad to be in such an environment that allows me to spend friday nights observing a lesser-minded species whose degree from mnsu apparently only gets them a tall blue moon and a bitterness that results in comments like [theirs] about gustavus." now let that one sit. now yes, i have been told i dish it out like nobody's business, but i am surprised... good god, cara, how did you pull that out in the state you were in?

anyways, at least i wasn't awkward with mr. wrong. i was having a great time, we chatted, he was semi-awkward. as to be expected, without his o/w female counterpart to back him up. i had a better time with the rest of the guys. let's just say that any teeny-tiny smidgens of feelings that i was still holding on to are completely forgotten about now. gone, off into space, into a black hole and will never return. god that feels good.

after the bar, we went back to the phi delta theta house and hung out. some of their old, rude, racist, dirty-mouthed alumni were there, and they decided to start picking on jill for being asian. flynn came down the stairs and badgered them for awhile about being pricks and then proceeded to drag me and jill off to matt and deshaun's apartment.

we ended up crashing at at matt's place, and we all went to sleep around 5:30 saturday morning. i was almost able to have deshaun's bed all to myself, but he and jill decided to jump in. flynn slept on the floor and matt and kyle passed out in matt's room. great photo op, let me tell you.

matt is under the covers (that's his head) and kyle is in
the brown shirt/jeans...you can't see his head. haha so good.

this whole time spent just reaffirmed that i would much rather live with a bunch of guy roommates. i love my girl roommates to death and i love taking the time to get ready and all that, but i also really want whole no-drama, walk-around-in-whatever-clothes-you-picked-up-off-the-floor, clean-when-you-decide-it's-time, wear-no-makeup-and-have-no-one-ask-you-about-it thing.

so - went to sleep at 5:30, got up at 8 and drove back to san pedro. deshaun has a cat, which i am allergic to, and so driving with itchy, watery eyes and a bad sniffle going on is NOT fun. i got home and remembered i had clean sheets on my bed, so i decided to shower. went back to bed until about 3:00 pm, drank a ton of water and waited for nicole to arrive. she did, we met up with friends at hermie's for dinner, and started pregaming the ben folds show.

that concert ROCKED. beyond belief. it might not be in my top 5 or 10, but that's hard to come by as i've been to a lot of shows. cab did a great job and everything went smoothly. afterwards we went to pattys, chris didn't card me, and my Gustie Greeter was there and bought me two drinks.

today basically consisted of me and nicole getting up around 11, making pancakes, and her leaving for a wedding shower in kato. i then went over to the boys' apartment to watch the twins, where i instead ended up taking a 3-hour nap in mike's bed and woke up to find the guys watching oprah's big give, which is on now. haha.

overall, it was a beyond crazy weekend and i had a blast. i need to eat something.
