thursday night was the start to weenie weekend. opus with garrett and kyle; good talks; chips & dip - night one. i think i already talked about opus in a previous entry?
friday started off completely uneasy and ended with a bang. i went to work and was served a nice little dose of reality. one of the best things about having a crush is that everything feels new again. it's nice to get that pitter-patter of nervousness and it's nice to see your phone blink red. when you come to the realization (or you're served with it) that nothing more is going to happen, getting over a crush comes with great ease. after a little vent sesh early friday evening, i decided to not dwell on what wasn't but focus on what is. maybe this doesn't make sense to anyone but me and that's ok. it's strange to think that i haven't reflected on anything at all this weekend. was i too wrapped up in fun or did i legitimately let it go? i'd like to think it was the latter of the two. i digress...
i received a free polaroid camera at work on friday (since the film is being discontinued early next year) and decided to make it a new project of mine. i wrote a little blurb about it on the book of faces but i can reflect on it more here. polaroid film is insanely expensive these days (anywhere between $15-20 for ten shots). because of this, it'd be expected that you would use your pictures sparingly and only capture those moments that make you laugh so hard you cry or scream with delight because everything at that moment is exactly how it should be. i think that everyone has at least one of these moments every single day. there's something about the novelty of a polaroid that makes these situations worth capturing. sometimes you only have one chance to get it right, and at approximately $1.75 per picture, i want to make sure i'm able to capture those moments that make me who i am/tell the story of my friends/make me the happiest. i'm hoping to take a picture every single day to fill a blank wall in my bedroom. here is my favorite picture of the seven that i've taken so far.
after work on friday i headed home where the festivities had already started. i booked it to get changed quickly and share a few beverages before we headed out with our friends. we walked for what felt like 84 years to get to will's where the elevator pictures ensued. my friends are absolutely hysterical. we left will's at some point and then disbanded into smaller groups. i vaguely remember state street and another party with garrett and emhaus. apparently i pulled my typical disappearing act (another story for another day) and bolted up to opus to meet kyle and share chips & dip - night two. garrett told me that i magically disappeared from opus as well. adam told me the next day that i came home and raged a little more at our neigbs. according to my phone, the last drunk text was sent at 3:06am so it must have been a good night. yes, i am a complete shitshow.
saturday morning i woke up and recapped the previous night's events with all of our friends that slept over the night before. we made our way to breakfast at the sunprint cafe (sooooo delicious!) and i rocked the sidepony from the night before. we came home and vegged on the couch (aka rallying time) and bought the movie, prom night, on demand. everyone else thought that it was the funniest film of all time and of course i was screaming in sheer terror and hyperventilating until the last two minutes. i'm such a wuss. we all got ready and had a nice dinner on the west side before coming back to the sweatbox to prepare for night three. the rest of the evening was filled with favorites, good talks and hugs, dance parties, tooons of britney blaring, sarah palin, and over 200 pictures. how did i get so lucky?
i was also really good and only made one bad decision the entire weekend... agreeing to work at 8am this morning. after finally getting to bed a little after 3am, i woke up at 6:30 to shower and prep myself to be good at life for an eight hour shift. within the first five minutes of my shift, a resident came to the desk and stated, "there's blood all over our kitchen floor." i went upstairs and surveyed the situation. what a start to a sunday. despite what i thought was an omen for a horrible day, today ended up being fantastic. i watched empire records with claudia and re-fell in love with music. that movie gets dogged a lot but i love every single thing there is to love about it. i need to add that to my dvd list. we also watched jack (since robin williams is my main squeeze) and i remembered why i loved that one as well. the camera shots in the film alternate between jack's perspective and that of a third party. so fantastic.
i came home from work and sorted through all of my pictures from this weekend and uploaded the deec ones to the book of faces. the rest of my evening has been spent on nerdy time, laundry, and true blood with garrett. i've been on such a vampire kick the last week or so.
this update took entirely too long. i absolutely need an eight hour nap soon. i think i'm going to start telling people about my little bloggity blog blog. i'm obsessed with fiji water. andy commented on almost every single picture from this weekend. my friends are out of control and i can honestly say that i'm happier tonight than i have been in a few months.
ain't nobody gonna bring me down.
that was so cheezy. cheesy? sharp cheddar and goat are my two favorites. i really do go to school in wisconsin.
