Tied Up Too Tight

It’s been a long and up-​and-​down day for me.

Woke up at around 8, which gives me about seven hours of sleep. Just shy of the six­teen Peggy demanded of me. Called her up, and she seemed to be sleep­ing instead of study­ing like she should have been. Got her to come to my place so I could keep an eye on her and make sure she stayed on track. :)

She stud­ied and I read for a while. Then it was time for her final, so I took her to cam­pus. On my way home, stopped by Farmer’s Mar­ket at Cen­tral Park, as well as Drew’s actual work place on 4th, but I didn’t see him at either, so went home slightly disappointed.

Had lunch, and tried to read, but I got a bit of food coma. I guess my body’s not used to more than one meal in twenty-​four hours again. Yeah, I know. Weird­ness. Espe­cially com­ing from me. But yeah, I napped for a while.

Woke up and watched TV for a bit. Simp­sons and That 70s Show. They are good, but they just aren’t as good to me any­more. King of Queens was alright. Mal­colm in the Mid­dle and Sein­feld were just awk­ward. I didn’t know if I should laugh or cringe.

Luck­ily, Aaron L came over a lit­tle after that. I guess he pulled into town, but didn’t find much to do at Chap­ar­ral. We chat­ted for a bit. Mostly about his Xanga post. That’s where quote comes from.

How do you think I rate on the incest scale?”

- Aaron L.

I think you’re worse than Clayton/​Michelle, but bet­ter than Steph/​Tony because…”

- Me, babbling.

I think I’m worse than Steph/​Tony. She’s my kid, my square, for all intents and pur­poses my lit­tle, and four years younger than me.”

- Aaron L.

OK, you’re right. You are the worst. Monster!”

- Me.
Which he is. But Thu H would be happy. She’s all about keep­ing it in the family.

So after that, we picked up Thu H, Drew, and James R. Brought them all back to my place for a lit­tle alco­holic enter­tain­ment. Mostly because Thu H couldn’t get into Sudwerks.

But it’s all good. We played 7 – 11-​2x. First time I really saw James R drink. He gets a big bel­liger­ent. :) I’d like to think I played fair and did fair, but I got pretty buzzed. We killed all the Miller Lite left over from Victoria’s party. It was nearly a full thirty pack.

I broke the seal and had to run to the bath­room every three min­utes. On one of the trips, stopped at the com­puter. Drunk talked to Peggy for a while.

Kitty, Ter­ren, and… I always for­get his name, but Terren’s friend came over. Appar­ently Ter­ren deleted some cru­cial sys­tem files because some tech sup­port guy was an idiot and told her to do so. They tried to get the files from my com­puter, but couldn’t find them.

Every­one went to Kittty’s apart­ment for a bit. Then they came back. And some­how brought more peo­ple with them. I’m not sure why, but Steph Liu, Tony W, Will O, and Mo were over there. But then Genie woke up and scared them all away. Mean­ing to my place. We talked some more. Peo­ple shuf­fled off to bed.

Now I’m alone here, writ­ing this post so no one will yell at me when I wake up late in the morning.

Our Silence

Man, another rest­less night. I think since today is everyone’s “study day,” it’s going to be my “nap day.” I need to catch up on all the good sleep I’ve been miss­ing out on. Lis­ten­ing to some music at the moment, and I real­ized… my tastes aren’t as eclec­tic as I thought. The first bar of this Inter­pol song reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers.

So yes­ter­day… woke up around 8 after going to sleep around 3 or 4. Laid in bed for a while, try­ing to sleep more. Finally got sick of rolling around at 10:30. Went online and got sucked into Literati again. Wrote up a post and read some Xan­gas at the same time. Dur­ing the in-​game chat, Drew M and I remem­bered we didn’t have any food for the CPPC potluck, so we decided to com­bine our left­overs in a pot and see what comes out pool our culi­nary skills and invent a new fab­u­lous dish for ExComm.

Took a shower after our last game of Literati and headed over to Drew M’s. We pre­pared our mys­tery casse­role and watched Whose Wed­ding Is It Any­way?. Peggy S came over and made her magic tuna pasta. Which was great, but can’t com­pare to mys­tery casse­role with liq­uid deli­cious. :) Watched Drawn Together as the casse­role baked, and then it was time to go.

CPPC went pretty well. It was really smooth, espe­cially over stuff like hours. I didn’t speak much, which lead to yesterday’s quote(s) -

I think if you give Dinh and me a chance, we will show every­one that you don’t need ser­vice shoved down your throat, and peo­ple will nat­u­rally want to do it again.”

- Will F.

Being mean works, though. Chris T and Michelle J tried being nice, and then some­one lied and Chris T flipped out.”

- Clay­ton L.

Well, I don’t think Dinh or I are very prone to being hard-​asses or flip­ping out.”

- Will F.

Yeah, he is, look at Dinh’s face!”

- Joe M.

Did you have any­thing to add?”

- Alice C to me.

No.”

- Me.

Speak, Silent Service!”

- Steph L.

He’s Jay and he’s Silent Bob.”

- Alice C, point­ing at Will F and me, respectively.

I guess I have a rep to uphold now. Will F and I will go to Info Night and he’ll do all the talk­ing, and I’ll stand slightly back and to the side wav­ing a two-​by-​four with a nail in it threateningly.

Any­ways, went home after that and chat­ted online for a while. Peggy S came over and we watched It. Then she went home and I passed out.

Rockin' The Suburbs

Boo! I think I’m get­ting sick; my throat is all scratchy. :(

Let’s see… what did I do on Sat­ur­day again? :)

Woke up and went online. I think peo­ple were sur­prised to see me up rel­a­tively early, and not hung over. Or dead of alco­hol poi­son­ing. Wrote a cou­ple of posts and worked on the website.

Had lunch with Will N and Sandy at Hoa Viet. damn, it’s been for­ever since I talked to Sandy… I for­got how cool she was. :) Except for when she said her boyfriend had the whitest taste in music ever, and I liked all the same bands. Quote comes from when Will N came back from the bathroom -

Man, there’s a fat hole in the bath­room wall.”

- Will N.

What? There’s a fat whore in the bathroom?!”

- Sandy.

Wow… I dunno what kinda restau­rants you go to, Sandy, but you def­i­nitely hear what you want to hear. :)

Came back home and went online again. Wrote a cou­ple more posts, but mostly chat­ted. Got tired for some rea­son, so I took a nap for a while.

Then it was time for the high­light of my day… chill­ing with my LBs! This is the first time the three of us have really hung out out­side of APhiO events. (Mostly my fault, since I’m always at APhiO stuff. :) ) But yeah, the three of us had din­ner at Jade Gar­den, and then went to the MUGA. Saw Mindy and Kim work­ing there.

Let’s see… air hockey, Ini­tial D, pool, Star Wars (Clint got 1st place on the Arcade game!), Puz­zle Fighter, and Time Cri­sis. A good time was had by all. Oh, and Steph Liu and Tony came by while we were shoot­ing pool and played a cou­ple of games of 9-​ball with us, too.

Then a lit­tle chat in the park­ing struc­ture and it was time to go home. I knocked out because I thought I would be dri­ving to Bay to Breakers.
