ok, so chocolate animal crackers are the best thing in the world right now. i have to eat a regular animal cracker after it or else i am force to consume another chocolate one. jesus.

so this morning i had to give myself a little pep talk. see, i was supposed to take this test in nutrition yesterday, and i just skipped it because i hadnt read any of the chapters, and i know the lowest test grade gets replaced by the grade i get on the final. but the final is comprehensive anyway, so i have to read it, and besides that i WANT to read it, im actually interested in the subject, how could i not be. but for some reason ive just found it hard to just sit down and read the damn thing even if i am interested. i find all these other silly things to do.
so anyway, every now and then i have to just tell myself, its ok, its not like ive been setting things on fire or anything, i can still make this alllll better.
but this last weekend i went on another benderishthing. i mean, i just got drunk friday and saturday night. i remember everything, nothing bad happened, but its just kind of a blur and i feel stupid about it. i know what getting drunk feels like, ive done it...god, hundreds of times now, and theres just no reason to do it when there are other things that i know i should be doing. just a little disappointed in myself.
but whatever. spring break is next week, i'll have all the time in the world to read for a week, ive got some races coming up, and sept. 20 is just getting closer and closer.
god gave rock n roll to youuuuu

So I had a fun weekend this last weekend. But I wonder how many more of them my body can really take. I wasn’t that hard on it really, but the whole lack of sleep, crap food, and beer is a cycle that, to anyone familiar with it, is a commonly degrading one. I dunno, I didn’t really get drunk, and I didn’t really eat that much. But I didn’t sleep that much either. Oh bother.

I did have several wonderful moments. One was at the first bar in denton when I met up with Wilson. He was there with a few of his friends, and I knew a couple of them, one of them from the last time I went to denton and went over to his house and showed him the Wii, Carter.  So carter says hi and whatever, and Wilson comments, “Yea, everyone remembers the guy who has the Wii,” and Garrett and this other guy I’d just met, yell, with genuine enthusiasm, in unison, “YOU GOT A WII?!?” I mean, fairly fucking loud, people turned around in the bar with the loud talking and music or whatnot. Or maybe I was just being paranoid. Anyway, they start asking me all these questions, very excited, and I got embarrassed. I just thought it was funny.

as for today, and this week in general, i hope its the weather, but im feeling so much better. i dont know if i was really depressed, but i guess comparing to how i feel now i wasnt quite myself. i love the sun.

god im so clever.

the story really begins thursday. my friend chase calls me up to see if we want to go scout out a ps3, for the money you know. we go everywhere around and call even more places, but we started about 24 hours too late, considering we both have jobs and i didnt get off till five. so after dutifully trying for about 4 hours, we finally succumb to logic. i say we. i feel i did. he still wanted to try staying at this one target, that had already said they only had 6, but there was a "rumor" that there might be 10. so i finally told him, hey, come on, let's go and i'll buy you a beer, we had a good run. so we did. and i got drunk. ughly drunk. stayed the night at his house, didnt go to sleep till after 3, was back at work at 8. ugh. friday i worked all day, and went to bed.
woke up saturday just down. we'd tried so hard and for nothing. i was very disappointed. went to class, went to best buy and walked around aimlessly for a couple hours, looking at stuff. noticed a couple of sleeping bags in front of the store, and thought, well, so much for making money off a wii. went home, and was just generally depressed. no sleep, no ps3. i told my friends id go out with them though, even though it was looking like id have to be the dd, so i took a shower and met up with them and drove to the bar.

I had a couple good beers at the fox & hound, even though i kinda hate that place. they were showing the ufc fight so all the waitresses were busy serving them, and so i couldnt order any food even though i was starving. so we went a couple doors down to wing stop, which i love. there were these little black kids in there, and brandi and heather were already kinda drunk and cursing loudly and the cashier asked if i could control my friends. i couldnt.

So then we went downtown, and i wanted to go to one of the new classy cocktail lounges that just opened up down on houston, but no, we had to go to some place where they could dance. because they were already drunk. weiners. so we went to the library (gag again. explanation: it's not that the library is so bad, it's just that i've been there a bunch and am still kinda tired of it. ) and met my friend chase and austyn there. austyn was drunk , there were these two largeish man friends of heather's trying to get with heather and brandi, and shane was not paying attention to the fact that austyn was dancing like a stripper and had the full undivided attention of up to 10 males at one point. one guy was particularly drunk and kept reaching out to grab her.

ikept laughing at the entire scene, though the drunk frat guy trying to molest her gave me pause. i didnt like that. in fact i really just wanted to smack him, but shane wasnt doing anything and lord knows austyn can, nay, would LOVE to handle herself, so i left it alone. spent about an hour there, and as the bar was closing down, austyn started asking guys if she could slap them. they, for whatever reason, they said yes, including the frat guy. and she slapped the shit out of every one of them. i'll bet it felt amazing. there were a lot of guys in military uniforms too, and though ive got no beef with guys in the military (as long as they leave me alone and dont try to recruit me), i had to think, didnt you motherfuckers didnt have time to change? are you really supposed to be going out to bars in full uniform? whatever. piddled in front of the bar for a bit (where you goin? want some ihop? girls make out.) then walked back to the car, drove brandi to her car, then drove all the way back out to weatherford to heathers house, dropped her off, then started driving home. it's about 4 in the morning right now. i stop off at the walmart in town that i used to work at, just out of curiosity, to see if i could get a wii, and bullshit with the electronics girl for awhile who gives me her number and tells me that they had 20 and they'd sold out by 12:36. i was impressed. so i drove into lake worth, swung by the target but no one was there. odd. then i went to best buy. there was a line outside, so i went up and found a guy in line who said he worked there and that they had 24 in stock, and that there was only 15 or 16 in line, they opened at 9. it was about 4:30ish. so i said hell yea, called chase to see if he wanted one, said no, but he came up and hung out with me anyway, and we stayed up all night bullshitting with nerds. it was a positive experience. i didnt get any sleep though. through this, i had originally intended to just buy one and flip it on ebay, but chase told me right before he left they were selling for about 5 or 6 hundred, as a bundle. not bad, not bad. but as i waited in line, i kept just wanting to keep it for myself. i mean, i wanted one anyway, so i..i dunno. i couldnt make up my mind. i did know that i wanted to be part of the experience in general, and i had a great time. i just took a bunch of pictures and talked. here's the pictures:
