A Weekend with Friends...
I go for three years with barely anyone coming to visit me here at Scripps, then two people decide to bless me with their presence in one weekend. Not that I'm complaining-- quite the opposite, in fact. It was wonderful!
Friday afternoon, Chris drove down and we went swing dancing with Nat (the co), Nat (from Bako), and Kristi. It was fun, but the music was pretty fast and the crowd was... well, different. Chris ended up having to protect us from creepy guys for a lot of the night. To be fair, it was mostly one guy. Kristi thought he looked like a bear, so we'll call him Yogi Bear. Yogi just wouldn't take a clue. Apparently, he remembered Bako Nat from Memories over a year ago, and latched on to her in the first few minutes she was there. After she refused him, he moved on to the rest of us. I danced with him once, but refused several times after that. He just didn't get that we didn't want to dance. Afterwards, he walks about with us like he's with us and asks Bako Nat for her email address and if she wanted to go get coffee sometime. Maybe I missed something, but nothing in their interactions suggested to me that she was at all interested in getting coffee with him, or even talking to him. I think he might have had something wrong in his brain. At least, I hope there was. Otherwise, he has no excuse.
Saturday was a nice, lazy day. I watched Blood Simple, the first Coen brothers film which was inspired by the Evil Dead movies. I really enjoyed it, even though it was pretty violent and suspenseful. I recommend it for anyone who likes thrillers, the Coen brothers, or Evil Dead. That night, Kira, Lisa, Brigid and I went to the Press. There was some weird punk band playing, which is so out of character for the Press, and so we left. From there, we headed to Hero's, where I enjoyed a Black & Tan. It was good, but I don't think the rest of the girls enjoyed their drinks as much. So, we headed back to the Press to brave the music and get drinks everyone likes. I had possibly the best lemon drop of my life. Unfortunately, the band was still rocking out and the crowd was still weird, so after creepy guys started hitting on us (and offering us jobs... hmm... not that desperate yet), we left.
Sunday was dedicated to my Alcohol Awareness Program which is tonight in Seal Court. If you're a Scripps student, I expect to see you there around dinnertime. That night, Rachel came down and she and I helped co-ey Nat with her Alcohol Awareness Program. I think Rachel had a good time, I know I enjoyed having her here. By the way, she is the quietest sleeper I have ever encountered. Most of the night, I completely forgot she was sleeping next to me.
Over all, a great weekend. I didn't get much work done, but it was worth it. Although I will have to play catch up for the rest of the week. Oh, and here is a random fact I came across while working on my program. The average college student spends about $900 on alcohol every year. The average college student spends about $450 on books every year. Think about it.
Have a great day!

Am I really? I always feel like I shift a lot in my sleep. Well I'm glad I didn't snore or anything embarassing. I had a lot of fun, I really did. Folding and everything.

Anytime someone wants to hang with you and you really dont like them, you should give them a fake name and fake number...it only adds to the fun! And thanks for the random fact...at least I now know where my money is going to...
