July 25, 2003
tonight was pure chaos. it started out with 20 of us at hooters (yep, 20 people) and it ended up with like 6 of us at "the apartment." and trust me, it took a lot just to make it to that apartment.

so i arrived at hooters with my escort for the evening (eli) and we proceeded to make ourselves comfortable while making small talk with the three other people there. within 4 minutes of arriving, 5 more people showed up. then 2 minutes later...4 people showed up. this continued until we had three big tables full of people and two confused hooters waitresses trying to make some order out the situation. everything went semi smoothly until the food was brought out and once again...confusion. alright, alright. so everyone got their food...except poor andrew who had to wait 10 extra minutes cause somebody "stole" his philly cheese steak (says the hooter waitress).

after about an hour of eating we decided to move the party downtown. and yep, you guessed it. more confusion. everyone had different checks. so we had to figure out who had what, who owed who money and so on. it took forever. finally we made it to parking lot and we all followed lara and katie downtown. the ride was pretty uneventful...but wait, it gets better. so we made it to the parking lot by the bridge and decided to walk to the other bridge were all the "cool" cars are (for katie). on the way, we saw a dog that escaped from somewhere and lara and i decided to name it chet. don't ask why. we thought it was cool. anyway. i'm getting to the good part. promise. under the bridge we saw the "cool" (although not to impressive from my end) cars and as we were heading back a few words were said (i'm not sure what exactly) and our group and another group start talking trash to each other. not exactly "trash talking"..just a couple of dumb guys saying dumb things. so the boys in our group decided to walk off and not say anything...easier said than done because the other guys followed us and started saying some pretty insulting things. well, i was getting pretty mad by this point (boys and their "attitudes" piss me off) so i turned around and started walking towards them. jeremy came after me and grabbed me and told me not to say anything and pushed me away. to be nice, i kept walking..then i heard someone said "bitch" and i stopped dead and turned around once again. this time, the boys were all standing in the street..and everyone was looking at each other. well to make this drawn-out story shorter, i'll just say that it was a misunderstanding of sorts and i wasn't really called any names. i still don't know why any of it started, or what the "misunderstanding" was...but oh well.

new paragraph. take a breath.

after that, we ended up back at our cars wondering what to do next. after much (and i mean MUCH..like 30 minutes) deliberation we ended up at the apartment. "we" being katie, lara, me, jeremy, casey and andrew. sound like fun?

in non-related news, ryan is my superhero.

and so here i am, very tired, slightly confused, and a tad bit thirsty. the weekend has hardly started and already i'm scared...
