ay dios mio...

So I shoulnt be doing this because I have three tests next week and I didnt study like I was supposed to but... Friday was awesome :)
Thank you Laura and Jon for having an awesome party- that I had a blast at. I hope that your house and everything survived and I hope that your recovery went well :) Anyways- So it was a pirate party- we all dressed as pirates... and as a summary, w
e all got drunk, had sword fights, and said arghhh! a lot. Then someone gave me a sharpie and I proceeded to give everyone drunk enough to let me write on them sharpie tattoos on their necks. Sierra had to go to work with the word SEXY on her jaw line. We decided, at least it wasnt a penis. Sierra and I also spent a significant amount of time laughing at the pervert that Darrell has become :) I mean, he will tell a dirty joke just like the rest of them! And we love you all the more for it, D.
SOooo Laura also pushed me on the ground and made me split my $.75 pirate pants right down the butt, broke my sword, and crawled on the floor in her room with me- we were looking on the floor for my skull-necklace. Then Dave pushed me into the hookah and made me burn my finger- which actually is a pretty bad burn now- but dont worry, all the nerve endings are dead and I cant feel it :)
Anyways- I had a very enjoyable time at the party. We had a bit to drink, we all acted like dumbasses (as a collective group as well as individually), and I think every single one of us ended up with my initials on a body part in sharpie. It just doesnt get better than that.

Saturday was a wasted day- laundry etc. and Sunday has been a study day (except for the fact that I woke up at 12 so I havent actually studied all that much.
So friday was the light of my weekend- that and the beautiful storm yesterday :)

money money money..... money.

So yesterday was a good day. And by good, I mean that I spent like 50 bucks yesterday. Sierra and I went to Book People- which is my favorite place ever, and I bought a book by the Dalai Lama about the convergence of science and spirituality. It's called The Universe in a Single Atom and I'm really excited about it. Unfortunately, my government class assigns a book a week and I don't have time to read it yet. yay for gov.
Anyways- I also bought these little bells on a string- a little cooler than that, but thats what it is- for really cheap that are beautiful sounding and some bangle bracelets for a $1.
THEN- we went to the 6th street Central Market for lunch. I had never been there before and I felt so overwhelmed. It's like going to walmart when all you need is bread- there is so much to look at and so many options that you end up spending a ridiculous amount of money on something that should have been like 5$, in the case of the bread example- more like $1.
I did laundry over at sierras for 6 HOURS becuase their dryer takes an hour and a half to dry stuff. I watched this movie- Hide and Seek- talk about freaky. I still want to see the Exorcism of Emily Rose though. But I got to do my laundry for free and watch a movie while hanging out with my dog. Not too shabby.
THEN we went to Dirty Martin's for hamburgers and I spent even more money. Dirty Martin's is.......... greasy. It's not great. It's not even really good. It's just ok. And really really really greasy. I haven't eaten that badly in a long time.
So the point is...Yesterday drained me dry! But it was a really fun day. I got to hang out with rugger. I really did do some studying and to top it all off I got to hang out with really interesting people, bought a very me book, and ate lunch at a really unique/busy place. Overall, I think I did well.
I actually got to talk to Sierra yesterday too. Really talk- about how she was doing, relationships, school, the future- you know, all the stuff you need to catch up on when you haven't seen someone in a while. I really did miss having her as a friend- I just wish none of that bad stuff would have happened. But then again, it did make me realize what kind of person another then-friend of mine was, so I gained valuable experience from the whole situation. Like to NEVER go out of your way (especially when it involves money) for people because they are usually just going to take advantage of it. (Liz, you are excluded from this rule due to the fact that I've known you for over a decade... and I know where your parents live.)
So anyways- I have to go study now. Because I'm stupid and I took 16 hours.

ugh.

I have felt so drained lately. Something about the way people are in general and something about the way I let them get under my skin. Like Gabby's friends who suck, or my uncle who think's I'm ridiculous for NOT being racist/prejudice, or really rude people in general. It just sucks me dry and one day I look up and I feel like I'm heartbroken and I don't know why.

Other than that today was a pretty decent day. Last night, too. Sierra came over and I made a vegetarian meal for us- and it was excellent. We spent about 2 more hours together before deciding we should definitely go get some ice cream- a treat Darrell was unable to resist coming with us to. Let me just say- I 100% recommend getting the banana pudding flavored ice cream at Amy's. It is SOOOOO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. We had a really good night and Sierra did something that really surprised me... she paid me back her third of the deposit from that house we all lived in. I dont know why for sure, but I'm really happy she did. I wanted to say no- keep it, it's not important anymore... but the truth is it was important and she did owe it to me and it was very decent of her to do so. Just makes me like her even more. We took Rugger to Amy's too and I think he really enjoyed the banana pudding ice cream too. Darrell and I have discovered he also likes grapes, lettuce, tomatoes, MY FREAKING CRACKERS, shredded carrots, and those chocolatey peanut butter things D makes all the time. He does not however like raw potatoes. He also dreams in his sleep- I think he might actually dream about fighting someone for room on the bed because somehow he always manages to push me to the very edge (and then I wake up the next morning on the VERY edge... and he moved to the ground- punk). AND- he has found a new favorite contact sport. It's called "step on Darrell's nuts" and Rugger loves it so much- he does it at least once a day. I think it's hillarious. D does not enjoy it all that much.

Found out today that danielle is in my human sex class. I still don't really know what to think of her. I don't feel the urge to ever be around or near her- but when I am I just cant be mean. I think I'm just not that type of person. Overt anger is beyond me I guess... I'll just have to settle for passive aggressivity.
