don't go jason waterfalls

i made my drink too strong.









i would consider today a success. i fell asleep last night around 10:30 while everyone watched youtube videos. yeah, i'm a total party pooper. i can't imagine the crazy shit that went down after that. i woke up at 7am and wasn't quite sure what i was going to do with myself after that. so i decided to check out downtown. i walked around for a while until i realized every store or restaurant was too expensive for me to even pretend i could afford something. so i left downtown and went to wicker park to find some foods.








I feel like i need to add images every so often to keep





things interesting.









so i found this restaurant called ear wax. i don't know who came up with the name but the thought of ear wax while i'm eating is totallly unappealing. i like it. they had a lot of vegan food. even vegan desserts!!!! ilenia, you would have loved it. so i hung out there for a long time, even turned in an application. the hispanic guy who took my application totally flirted with me, but not in a sleazy way. i liked him.





then i went to the thrift store in bucktown that stephen, erik, ilenia and i went to. i found some rad things.







then i went to wicker park again, got lost for about an hour, then i met up with some people to check out their apartment. it's basically everything i'm looking for as far as rent, location, and time period. i met with these 3 girls (one will be leaving) and we chatted for a while. it was hella awkward. they were nice but i think i said some weird things that made everyone uncomfortable. i think it went well. i filled out a credit application and they are supposed to get back to me tomorrow.







i'm back at willie's place now. he's not here so i'm hanging out on the computer while all the other mother fuckers staying here are getting stoned in the other room. i don't know what i'm going to do tonight. i'd like to go out somewhere cuz i'm bored but the only bar i know of that i actually like is in wicker park which is about 45 minutes away from here. plus i'd be going alone and i don't really trust myself to stay sober enough to figure out how to get back here. who knows, maybe i'll go to the western bar down the street.








i'll bet everyone in lawrence is partying with the umbros tonight. i miss all of you.

i can't figure out whether or not i like the word smarmy. i don't think i do.

tiki tiki tembo

so i made it to chicago, yay!!!!!! i only had a few problems along the way.


1. i woke up at 4:30 this morning, which was the time i should have been at the airport (whoops)

i managed to make it in time by yeilding at stop lights (whoops again) and maxing out my car's spedometer the whole way there (it only goes up to 85, so it wasn't too bad).


2. after frantically rushing, parking, catching the shuttle bus, and checking in, i realize i forgot one of my bags on the shuttle bus. so i rush to the phone and call lost and found. the driver brings it back in time for me to run to my gate and board the plane.


3. after finding willie's place and hanging out, we took the train to downtown so he could go to class and i could wander around. he rambles off some directions back to his place and then asks if i can remeber all that. hell no. i told him to call me when he's out of class. then i realize i forgot to bring my phone with me. sucky sucks mcsuckerson. so i wander around for a while, my shoes are starting to break cuz they're cheap shit, so i decided to eat something for the first time today. look what i found, ilenia and erik!!!!

eventually i found my way back to willie's place. i'm learning public transportation fast.

willie and his roommates are having some people over now. we'll see how my social anxiety works out tonight.

motherfuckin inscense won't stop blowing in my face.

sucky times

i don't even want to write about the events that went down today. so i won't. let's just say i've never been so drained in my life. i should be in chicago right now but i'm not. i have to get up at 2:30am tomorrow to catch my new flight. fuck shitty weather. last time i had to get up that early to catch a flight i went out to the bars and my friend drove me to the airport. it made the flight much more interesting. who wants to do me a favor??????????


i saw a bumper sticker today that said "sometimes i drive like a clown". what does that even mean. maybe it means that they pack a shit ton of people in their car but you would never know it unless you saw them all getting out. or maybe it means they wear a lot of make up when they drive. if that were the case i think a lot of people would "drive like a clown". does anyone have any ideas? when i typed it into google images this is what came up



i have a headache.

cracked

gawd, this blogging bullshit takes up so much of my time. i've got to force myself to do this but i know the more i put it off the more i'm going to have to cover in my next blog. i'm going to update it as much as possible so that by the time i move i can be used to it and it will be part of my daily activities like brushing my teeth or drinking water. that'll be something to be proud of. i really have to pee but i don't want to even though the bathroom is 4 steps away. i'm just too into blogging. it also takes up a lot of time to read every one else's blog. so guys, if you could keep it short and sweet that would really help me out. no more rambling. i re read some of the blogs i've already written and i don't like it. i'm kind of negative and bitchy. oopsssss. i think i won't read my blogs anymore, otherwise i might stop writing them. did you know mcdonald's has movies now?? isn't that cool. neesa and her "friend" are over right now talking about movies. neesa is being weird. i went to the grocery store to by some food for my babies and to get some nori. i would go to checker's because it rocks but their nori sucks ass so i decided to go to dillon's. i was looking at the cat food and for some reason this particular brand really depressed me. i think it was because it was next to all the other cat food that was bright and colorful and this brand was so bland looking. and it's like they are trying to appeal to the consumer by making it all patriotic and shit. and it was only 22 cents.......damn. i actually considered buying it because it was hella cheap but then i was like, wow, i would feel really shitty if i took this home to my kitties and had to watch them eat this 22 cent food when they could have been eating 76 cent food. so i bought the 9 lives. they liked it. i got it for them because i feel bad for leaving them for 5 days. not that they give a shit or will even notice.


so, this weekend was pretty eventful thanks to neesa and her wild ways. thursday night neesa got in around 8:30pm because her flight got delayed. sucky. so we started drinking about 30 minutes later if not sooner. she wanted to go dancing so, of course, we ended up at neon. sally gave us a ride. thanks sally. i know i didn't thank you enough on the car ride over. it's amazing how drunk people can be so repetitive. it's like they forget that they said something so they have to repeat it 30 seconds later and it just keeps going on like that until they choose a different subject to not shut the fuck up about.


this was the pre party in my room. i was already shit faced after like 2 or 3 drinks for some reason. i think i put about 3 shots in each drink i made. whoops.



barrett looks so happy. probably because he's about to order another drink and get more shit faced. way to go.
neesa was a little freaked out when she saw this pic because she didn't like the idea of ilenia holding her passport. don't you trust your friends? although i'm pretty sure one of us has a photo of ilenia holding your passport over the toilet.


that's us drinking our to-go bottle in the bathroom. i think it was 70% vodka and 30% diet coke. no wonder our night went so well.

toward the end of the night barrett started dancing on the bleachers. he thought it would be fun to tear down the ceiling and throw it. i wonder if he woke up with a headache.

when we got home i went straight for the bread and peanut butter. bad idea. i've had some bad experiences mixing peanut butter and alcohol in the past. i went to bed and barfed all over my alarm clock and the book i've been reading. i think some of it got on my shoes too. i won't be able to eat peanut butter for another couple of months now.




the next morning ilenia and i decided to make sushi for breakfast. the nori we had (yeah, the shit from checkers) was all broken so the sushi turned out like this. it was still good.

later that night i was really tired and felt like going to bed but i knew that wasn't going to happen. it was party night!!!!!!!!! erik and stephen came over along with tyler, dan and ana luna (don't know if i totally butchered that or not. oopss). we all pre partied together and sall came out to put some stickers on our shirts, and faces





erik, stephen, dan and tyler worked on their "wizard staffs" which entails taping all the beer you drink throughout the night together so by the end of the night everyone knows how shit faced you are. sally took it upon herself to write shit all over everyone. "wizard stuff" was erik's tummy tatoo.

we also go facial stickers.
erik being all bitchy
ooo look, erik's all ready got 3 beers on his wizard staff.


i think i was trying to take a picture of sally and ana luna's curly hair but erik kind of took over with his wizard staff and gorilla face.

i think i kept taking and deleting pictures of neesa and me because my finger was covering the lense and i couldn't figure out why the pictures weren't turning out. i'm such a dummy when i'm drunk.
more gorilla.
i think stephen had the best faces this weekend

dan is doing his best to keep up with the umbros

i think i took erik into the bathroom 3 or 4 times thoughout the night under the idea i was going to show him my anus. but in reality i just wanted to take a picture of him in the bathroom with the expectation of him seeing my anus and then realizing it wasn't going to happen. i got a real kick out of doing this all night. look how disappointed he looks.

i forced my sweater upon gabe because i told him he needed to participate in the theme. he came to me later complaining that the neck was too tight or something. i think i called him a pussy and told him to put it back on. sorry about that gabe.

i think someone gave me a permanent marker and i thought it would be funny to write "suck it" on everyone around me.


at one point sally came into my room with her oven mit. she stole barrett's glasses and my bank statement and was talking in a really high pitched voice about something.



here's stephen starting up the dance party.



here's the dance party

here's the second time of the night somone broke my shower. thanks stephen.


i came out of the bathroom at one point and this is what i found. some guy brought bottle rockets to the party and was handing them out. stephen and erik got ahold of some and set them off in my room. for some reason i was totally cool with it and was cheering them on. then the fire alarm went off. erik didn't like that sound so he ripped it down and threw it across my room. oh, by the way erik, i did find it. it was shoved in a corner by my bed.

my bitchy neighbor called the cops because some bitches (guarav and stephen i think) shot off some bottle rockets in the street. i think everyone tried to hush each other so maybe the cops would just go away, but they should know that drunk and stoned people forget why they're being quiet and start blabbing again 10 seconds later. so eventually someone came to my room to tell me and i went out and talked to him. he was pretty bitchy but he wasn't going to charge me or break up the party. all i remember saying is "i understand" like 30 times. i probably didn't understand anything.


the wizard staff has grown.


this was another time i brought erik into my bathroom under false pretenses. and i think it was the 3rd time my shower was broken that night.


progress was made. i like the fact that all erik's beer is hamm's but stephen has quite the variety. this gives me the impression that erik just drank the beer he bought but stephen went around taking whatever he could find.






at some point in the night the party moved to my bedroom. it looks like a dance party but i'm pretty sure there was no music playing. maybe we were shooting off more bottle rockets. who knows.

i think i passed out around 2 or 2:30. erik said the party kept going until 4. the only people left were a few guys who were wrestling on the kitchen floor.



the next morning the house was trashed. but don't worry, the wizard staffs survived the night


party.

yeah, we went to burger king the next morning. don't tell anyone.

after buger king we went home and cleaned. it didn't seem to take very long but our recycling is where it should be after one month, not one night.

we had plans to karaoke later that night at encore so we started drinking again at around 8:30. neesa went with bob to watch the KU game earlier in the afternoon so already had 8 beers by the time she came over. it was pretty entertaining. she was pissing erik off so he sprayed her with the pussy repellant and then she sprayed him with pam. he didn't like that.

this is at karaoke. i don't know if erik is making that face because of the picture ilenia is showing him or if it's because he's just getting into the tunes.




ben was getting into it. he does it on a regular basis with his grandparents. it's hard to imagine grandparents karaokeing.


erik was gettin' all hot and bothered so he had to remove his schweater.


this is neesa singing the backstreet boys. she loved every second of it, even if she doesn't remember doing it.

we partied pretty hard at encore. it was wild. at one point everyone was dancing and singing on the benches. no one was on the floor anymore. and microphones weren't necessary.

after this we rushed over to a party in north lawrence to see baby birds don't drink milk (gawd that's a lot to type). we were all wasted by the time we got there, except erik (i hope, considering he was the one driving my car). BTW erik, i noticed my car is a little more fucked up than it was yesterday afternoon. my left blinker doesn't work and my gear changer handle thing has been ripped off. it's cool.

sally looks genuinely upset.


when we all got to the party we were bitching about how there was no alcohol but then 5 minutes later beers just materialized in our hands. i don't know who gave them to us but i think ilenia had the fancy one and i had a hamm's. i don't even like beer. why do i do this?



wasted.

in conclusion, the weekend was a success. here were my accomplishments

1. i barfed on my alarm clock

2. i broke the camera i bought a month ago by dancing on it at neon

3. got my shower broken

4. didn't go to work for 3 days in a row

5. ate at burger king

6. got my house trashed

7. got myself trashed

i love you neesa.

don't be so sad

i think this blogging bullshit is taking over my life. i find myself spending wayyyyyyyy too much time on the internet nowadays. updating my blog, reading my friends' blogs. i could be taking out the trash or figuring out the meaning of life. oh well.


so ilenia and i were bored last night and decided we would go downtown and have "a" drink. we met up with edmond and his friend adam at the bourgeios pig (we only went there because it was the only place that would accept credit cards, don't go thinking i'm all high class now). so edmond and i chatted and got all caught up on each other's love life (mine's so active right now it's unbelievable). ilenia sat next to us the whole time and talked to stephen. adam talked us all into going to the replay to see this band called people noise. they were supposed to sound like the jesus and mary chain and my bloody valentine so we decided we would check it out.


the first band was shitty. their music was pretty mellow but you could tell the bassist really just wanted to rock out but the boring music was preventing him from doing so. the drummer looked bored as hell. oh, but they did sort of rock out at the very end. one of the guitarists half way fell on the floor and the keyboard guy kind of moved around. the lead singer looked like erik from the nose up but he didn't have erik's current hair cut. it was more rock star like....sorry erik, you're just too presentable now.


the next band was decent. it was kind of folky. it was the kind of music you could listen to every 2 and a half months and enjoy it. no more than that.


so all the build up for the last band was keeping me on the edge of my seat.....not really though....i don't remember where they were from but most of them were wearing girl pants so i wasn't quite sure what to expect. ilenia left to go have a smoke so edmond and i stayed inside to check out the band. after 30 seconds i decided they were the worst band i had seen in a long time. not only was the music horrible, but the guys were so fucking cheesy i just couldn't handle it. imagine what a battle of the bands would look like on degrassi and you can get a good idea of what this looked like. edmond and adam agreed so we all left. i told ilenia i was going home but she wanted to stay so i went home and guess what i did.........i checked out some blogs.


i have a doctors appointment today because i have a fucked up hip and i can't really walk anymore without limping like an idiot. i hate doctors so we'll see how this goes.
neesa comes tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

face flapping

so, not much has happened since I last posted. let's see here. i went to work, i went to work some more, i rushed around trying to send out some letters and go to the bank just to figure out it was president's day and those government bitches had the day off. oh, and then i worked some more. but monday was interesting at wheatfields because some old, excuse me, elderly lady who was in town for a quilting somethingorother choked on a pot pie. then she turned blue and started foaming green stuff. so we called 911 and the firemen and medics came. i guess some random guy gave her the heimlich maneuver and she coughed up the pot pie. so my perk of the day was that no one died at my work.

i'm leaving for chicago a week from today to find some places to live. i have a few people i have been in contact with but overall nothing is guaranteed but we'll see what happens. it will probably turn out that i move to chicago with no place to live and no job. that's just kind of the way things tend to work out for me.



i don't feel like sharing any more.

four sided and sharp

check it out, my second day in a row!!! amazing. we'll see how long this lasts. yesterday was productive. i cleaned my room, baked vegan banana bread and did some reading. i guess not being hungover on saturday proves to be pretty awesome. i started to tally how many times the biglotcar.com commercial came on while ilenia and i were watching TV and i think it was over 10 within an hour. damn. they must have paid a shit ton of money for that hour. ilenia and i decided to go to this house show to see boo and boo too play. it was ok. not as crazy as thursday, but we also weren't shit faced.


to stephen, i'm excited to see you this weekend. i think you should try to make out with my brother as much as possible. expand his horizons. he's really into hilary duff, so do what you can to entice his interests.


to eric, i'm also excited to see you this weekend. you need to stay for our party on saturday. threaten those crazy carousel bitches with death by mutilation if they don't work for you. or you could just quit. get a job at burger king so that way when you get shit faced on the weekend you can just go into work in the morning and get paid to cure your hangover. smoking weed makes you light your car on fire. fyi.



to neesa, i am most excited to see you. awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome...oops, i mean, rad....

here are some photos from last night





ilenia and i found these rad glasses sitting next to a zine filled with some hella unflattering pics of me being wasted. i need to stop letting my friends take photos of me when i go out. you guys suck.

gabe wonders why he wakes up the next day and wants to barf/pass out/die.



i told dane i wanted to take a picture so i could remember him and this is the face he made. so now i can remember him as a pissy bitch ass. thanks dane.


i think barrett just blew up the house with a home made bomb.




Barrett looking all sleazy and wastey.

i work with this girl. i think she is explaining the obnoxious paper thing attached to her head, but i don't remember what she said.
that's all.
i'll try to be more interesting next time.
remember those rectangular pizzas we used to eat in school?
