LAST NIGHT WAS THE JAM! (yes, brian, i am stealing your phrase.) i went over to case hall around 7:30pm and hung out with sam for a bit. then the party started arriving. i went down to barista and had an iced chai tea (mmmmm, and it was good!). then i went to say hi to matt and nathaniel … but first i ran into derek in the hall. he was just getting ready to go out with adam and another friend, jared. i’m pretty sure they had already been doing a little drinking, because derek hugged me and jared immediately joined in and they made a kristen sandwich and were both humping me. derek was yelling, “this is the threesome i was talking about! is jared hot enough to join us?” it was pretty funny. then jared told me my plugs were sweet and that he digs my nose ring as well. and derek was like, “oh, she’s got other piercings, too.” way to be tactful, derek … haha. anyway. they tried to convince me to go to cedar village with them, but i opted out (i left east campus for a reason!).
so i finally get to matt and nathaniel’s door, only to find that matt is not there and nathaniel is in the shower. matt’s sister, laura, proceeded to answer the door and inform me of this … and then continued to tell me her life story involving how she broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years and 11 months (but not before cheating on him) and how she moved out today and yada yada. i didn’t mind; i actually found it quite entertaining that laura was spilling her guts to me. then nathaniel got out of the shower and i realized he was going to his frat for the night, not hanging out with us. so i wished nathaniel and laura a good night and went back upstairs to sam’s room.
a good portion of the night was spent with katherine, melissa, ryan, helen, hunter, julia, matt, sam, mason, and these two other girls i didn’t know. i watched my first entire basketball game ever (and there is a cute redhead on our team! who just happens to be in julia and mason’s HNF class, haha). i drank a lot of wine (mostly cranberry, but a glass of grape as well). we drank out of the goblets matt and mason had just received as a joint birthday gift. .
derek called me sometime during the first half of the game and said, “kristen, i love you! i’m at cedar village, will you bail me out of jail if i get arrested?”
oh derek.
at halftime we ordered pokey stix, which took FOREVER AND A DAY to arrive (we didn’t get them until RIGHT as the game got over). i don’t remember much of the second half of the game. the last minute or so, it finally sunk in to everyone that we were LOSING, so i drank an entire glass of wine as the last 13 seconds of the clock counted down. i’m not sure of what we did after the game. sat around talking? i don’t know, katherine and julia and helen were all really drunk. sam was trying to convey this to me, and i said, “i’ve had just as much as they have, if not more!”
and he was like, “yeah, you didn’t puke though.”
“oohhhhh.”
yikes!
i was all over the place last night! and by that i mean emotionally. one minute i was taking pictures with people, the next i was telling mason to go fuck himself, after that i was falling out of sam’s computer chair, then i was crying to matt for about 5 minutes until i decided it was stupid to be crying, then i was giggly again. oh, and i kissed sam … twice. I AM A DRUNK ASS.
so eventually it was just me and sam and mason chilling (as mason said, “i remember there being tons of people in the room and then like none!”). i was determined that i was going to sleep on sam’s futon, but mason had other ideas. then sam was like, “oh, mike is online!” which got me to scramble off the futon in a hurry. then mason promptly sprawled across it so i had no hope of regaining my claim. bastard! then i talked to mike via AIM for what i thought was four lines worth (you know, i had two comments and he had two responses) … turns out i typed obscenities to mike for about 25 minutes. AGAIN WITH THE BEING A DRUNK ASS. but i called him today and apologized, so it’s all good.
so then sam tried to CARRY me downstairs so i could sleep in matt and nathaniel’s room, but i wouldn’t have it. i squirmed and resisted until he put me down and told me i could sleep in his room, but i would have to sleep on the floor. and i was like, “fine!” so sam gave me a blanket and i promptly went to sleep on the floor.
i think sam put it best this morning. he looked at mason and me and asked, “can either of you tell me the final score of last night’s game?”
it could not be done.

Drew Naymick (the “cute redhead”) looks like Prince Freaking Charles. Trust me. I’ve seen him up close. Drew Nietzel (the bald one) is in my econ class.
you forgot something: I couldn’t tell you the score either :)
