Sympathy Post

This weekend just spun down and down as it progressed.

It started out really well. I went to the Boardwalk, where I found I can consistently full-combo Genom Screams Double Heavy on a crappy pad, and that I can do Orion.78 (civilization), Healing Vision ~Angelic~, and Paranoia Survivor, one after another. And I met a girl about my age there, she's been playing DDR for a while and is in independent study. Neat.

I came back to catch my roomies, all of whom had just come back from a party totally drunk, and proceeded to go up to someone's room a floor up - I decided to follow them, but when I found out they had just gone to get even more drunk and stoned, I left and just mulled around for the rest of the evening. Christie went along with the crowd, though, had way too much to drink, and ended up making out for hours with the guy next to her. God damn it.

The next morning I found out that she had slept with numerous people in my hall since we moved in less than a month ago. Makes me feel pretty fucking shallow. I was categorized as one of those sex-crazed guys that was only trying to get in her pants. She felt really bad about herself, though, so being a nice person, I comforted her and told her that maybe she shouldn't party as hard anymore. I don't know if I should have done that, though. She needs "love" because she didn't get it as a child. I understand that, I know people like that, but she's easily attached to people and that's a bad thing.

Everyone on my hall ended up getting totally smashed again the next night, while I just stayed in my room and tried to work on an essay. I was invited to go watch a show on VH1 done by Camp Chaos, which I fondly remember as the guys who did the "Napster Bad" cartoons, and I found out that this guy, Jeff, is also a web designer/composer/animator/etc. That was a highlight.

But then I tried going to sleep and somewhere around 4AM, my roommate stumbled into the room, shining his red keychain light in my face, and turned on the microwave for 5 minutes with NOTHING IN IT while he tried leaning on furniture and failing, and passing out on the floor.

Today was spent mostly trying to write my essay. It's basically a big ol' book report. I certainly don't like it. In the meantime, my roommate and friends went downtown to buy really tacky posters about pimps and shot glasses. And then I sat down to write this thing. Everyone feel sorry for me, okay?

ya man...that sux...you know, i never really got how you feel about it, so i can ask- why dont you party? i mean...there's nothing wrong with it, even the most straight edge people have been known to let loose and get wasted from time to time when they get into college.

i got drunk this weekend, it was good stuff.

i want to get drunk next weekend, that'd be good stuff.

conrad: Partying's all well and good so long as you're not so drunk you throw up/break/steal stuff/screw anything with holes in it and generally act like a destructive lout. You just feel like a muppet the day after.

Everyone goes kinda craazy to some extent in the first year of college though, wait a bit for all the binge drinking and flash relationships to die out and then things become a lot more fun for the more straight edge people ;)

I've just started at Edinburgh uni so I can kinda empathise with jeffrey though... this place is kinda like the equivalent of ivy league in the UK (which makes me wonder how I got in ... because my grades were just awful) so things are a bit more restrained over here (people get drunk every weekend yeah but they don't end up having riots or destroying the place or having massive orgies or whatever). Even so it feels like I'm the only person not getting out and having a good time sometimes...

Well, yeah there's always DDR. Problem is _nobody_ plays DDR around here. Well, no-one older than 15 anyway. Sorry to hear about your friend, and I hope you straighten things out with her. But then it sounds like you're getting into uni just great so far and judging from your blog entries you're having a good time for the most part. If you're feeling down, console yourself with the fact that chances are I'm not feeling that much better ;)

yeah...i dont like throwing up, which is good cause im big so it takes a lot to get me sick, but my parents are alcoholics, so getting drunk is easy. but yeah, the insanity with the breaking of things and such is bad...i rarely go that far, unless im in the mood to destroy

but then again, thats my standard mood
