Yes, it's starting to get a little late and yes, I still have mucho mucho studying to do for my behavioral neuroscience exam tomorrow. But I feel like I have too much to say and I want to say it even though I don't know if anyone will read it. And, as always, the best time to procrastinate is when you can least afford it. Yay self-handicapping!
Anyway, here is what I have to say. Blake is 21. KC and I threw him a party this weekend, a formal black and white (sort of) affair. And it was pretty awesome, or at least it would have been if the 16(ish) drinks I consumed had gotten me drunk enough to actually enjoy myself. The whole time I was too stressed and self-conscious and worrying about Jake to really talk to anyone or relax. I don't know when I will learn that having parties is too stressful and that worrying about getting paid back for the shittons you just spent on food and decor and alcohol is always fruitless and a pain in the ass. Basically, people are really shitty. Most people. Not all, but most. If you're reading this and you didn't donate the measley $5 we asked for, you should go shoot yourself in the foot. Shame on you. It would be so easy to have tons of parties if only people would do their part.
Next, I'm maybe starting to feel the post-E depression from Friday night. It's not a real depression, and it's so obviously chemically-induced (isn't it all though?) that I can't take it seriously. But I'm starting to feel sad about the world in general, sad about my friends, sad about the way I feel about myself, sad about everything. I know it's not real and I know it will pass, but it would be so nice to have someone next to me holding me until I can be happy again.

I heart CSOs
Our friendly neighborhood CSOs just arrested a man trying to steal my bike from the bike rack outside the Birchwoods. He was sloppy drunk and actually shat his pants when the CSO started yelling at him. He had a backpack full of stolen bike parts and was in the process of taking mine apart when he got caught. They tell me it would be unsafe to ride at this point.
Best part: His name was legally changed to Roamin Freeley.

I hate hate hate candy
The worst possible combination in the world is what follows: trying to lose weight, being on your period and halloweentime. It doesn't help that the candy bowl is only a few feet away. I need CHOCOLATE. Oh man, it's bad.

Candyland Halloween
I've been searching for the perfect halloween costume for awhile now and I think that it has finally come to me. I'm going to be either Princess Lolly or Queen Frostine from Candyland. Whichever costume I find first will do. It would be pretty awesome if everyone dressed up as Candyland characters but I don't know if the friends would be up for that. Anyway, I'm excited (and no longer stressed) for halloween!

So this is what happens when I have free time
I spent pretty much the entire day watching House. So good. I'm not complaining.

Today has been unbearably lonely. I haven't seen a single human being yet.
Ava is gone...
Everyone else has either gone to their homelands for Fall Break or is too busy. I want to DO SOMETHING.
I might even go for beer pong. I just don't want to walk all the way to the model home alone. And being there without Jake? That will be interesting.

Because sometimes it's a good thing to be reminded of high school
1. To whom did you last give the finger?
I honestly have no idea. It was never a gesture I used too often anyway. I think I can communicate better with my eyes.
2. If you had 1,000 dollars what would you buy?
I would save it so I can keep shopping at New Seasons. I have a bit of a organic/local/healthy food obsession. And I'm okay with it making me poor if I have to.
3. What was the last beverage you spilled on yourself?
Water. Yesterday. No joke. It's pretty much a quotidian occurrence. (Quotidian is the word of the day)
4. Are you different now than you were 6 months ago?
Not really. I was surrounded by slightly different people and was thinking about different things, but I think I've been the same person for awhile. If anything, I am more self-aware due to my psych courses.
5. Have you kissed a boy/girl in the last three days?:
Nope. I've had too much fun for that.
6. What was the last photograph you took?:
Ava and I played with photobooth yesterday while we were bored. We have quite a talent for funny faces.
7. Where were you last night around 9:30?:
Hanging out with some of the most wonderful people in the world at Blake's house and celebrating Ava's birthday. We had a vegan good time.
8. What do you think of guys who wear eyeliner?
It can be very hot if done right.
9. How many hours did you last sleep?
About 7. Had to get up early to go to the gym.
10. Who was the last person to whom you spoke on the phone for over an hour?
That hasn't happened for awhile. Ulrika probably. Maybe Alex.
11. 50 Cent shows up at your door, what do you do?:
Chuckle. Shut it.
12. How was the last egg you ate prepared?
Scrambled with artichokes, tomatoes, avocado, feta and mache.
13. Where did you last wear sunglasses?:
In my apartment last night. They were my hooker sunglasses.
14. Ever worn your underwear backwards?
Never had a reason to.
15: What is your favorite scent?
Bread or apples baking. Mmm KC's apple pie.
16. Does it bother you if people use the word like too much?
I think it's, like, a pretty useful addition to the English language. I read an article on it once and was convinced.
17. What animal did you last pet or hold?
Blake's mom's cat.
18. What was the last law you broke?
I guess we hit the bong last night. Is that really even illegal anymore?
19. What are you wearing?
Rain boots over jeans and a blue wife-beaterish shirt.
20. What did you think of your last kiss?
I was VERY drunk. I think it was pleasant, as far as I can remember.
21. What was the last newspaper you read or skimmed?:
The newspapers in Hot Fuzz that I just finished watching. Good movie.
22. What was the last thing you wrote on your hand?
An address where I was going to babysit (the same place I'm going tonight).
23. What was the last hair product you used?
Conditioner.
24. What was the last text message you received?
"What are you bringing tonight?" from KC
25. What was the last medication (Rx or OTC) you took?:
Probably something for my allergies.
26. Who was the last person to make you really laugh?:
Ava. My sister is wonderful.
27. To what song did you last sing along?
Bohemian Rhapsody. I know it's cliché but I'm not going to lie.
28. What was the last musical instrument played in your presence?
Ava's voice? I don't know.
29. What was the last superstitious thing you did?
Wash my hands in the bathroom after washing dishes in the sink even though my hands were technically clean. I'm a little crazy.

Not to be a bitch, but
it's always reassuring to find that my ex-boyfriend is doing worse than I am.

Sundays
are thoroughly lonely.
Every Sunday is the same. Wake up, work/study all day, go to sleep. People are rare. And that makes me sad.
