perhaps the greatest thing ever, is this thing called hoobastank. some reason i really like them right now. so yeah, good shizzzzzzz
this weekend, yeehaw. what a friday. i'll recount what i remember, and what i don't remember but i have been told happened.
set the stage, work ends, head to the liquor store and head home. me and matt both call the other house to see whats up. dan tells us to come over and we'll just head out from there. we get there, play some video games, get tired of it and are like hey guys, lets go, don't start another game. after a while of saying this and receiving mostly blank stares we realize they aren't coming, so we head upstairs to talk to air. he says he's too tired so we say fuck it and leave. head out, walk to earls on the ave. at this point, it is me, german ben, matt, bryan and jay. 5 of us, bomb on in. guy at the door is like "oh hey!! its been a while since you've been in huh!!" and we are all like, this is our first time actually.... he's just like oh, whatever. he tells me to show my thing to the bartender, and i'm like ok cool. and thus it begins, with a a round of rum and cokes. we sit down, chat, have a good time. head back, i get a long island iced tea as my free drink. after that, i think i get another rum and coke. then i get a white russian. then calen shows up, and we are all just like HELL YEAH!!! so our group grows, and all is well in the world. i get a double screw driver, and i think maybe one drink after that at earls. thus, we bomb out of earls. i am pretty trashed already. german ben has left at some point in the night and just went home to sleep without telling us. we check the bathrooms, can't find him, and figure he just left. on the way to the irish emmigrant. we are rowdy and loud, as you would expect. get into the bar. get another rum and coke. the guy at the door tells me to find todd upstairs to get a free drink. i try to get one downstairs but they say no sorry. so, we head upstairs. i finish my drink, and me and matt head out to find todd. we find him, i get another long island iced tea. there are two girls at the bar who congratulate on my birthday. i think i tried to talk to one of them while she shook my hand in a congratulatory manner, but actually using words didn't really work so i just kind of wandered back to our group.
this is where things start getting fuzzy. somewhere in here, i remember blake showing up and everyone cheering. i remember at some point some people sang happy birthday to me. i don't remember bp coming, but apparently he bought me another drink. i have no idea how many more drinks i had at the irish emmigrant after that long island iced tea, but apparently we were there for a good amount of time, most of which i don't remember. apparently, everyone sang to me a few more times. then, i remember being handed a phone with my friend from high school allison on the other line. i don't really remember the conversation, but she probably told us not to come over. matt ended up with the phone, and she gave him the address. i am told that we went to safeway on the way to allisons apartment. i am told we tried to get beer, but bryan came up and told him/her that we were drunk, and we were going to get more drunk mother fucker!!! and so the clerk said we couldn't have the beer. i am told we pushed blake around in a shopping cart for most of the way between safeway and allisons. i am told we stopped some random guy and talked to him for a while and he wished me happy birthday. i am also told that everyone told me to take off my pants before we went to allisons. so, i showed up at allisons with no pants on. i have a memory of allisons voice telling me to put my pants back on and me saying i couldn't, but no visual memory to go with it. we stayed there for about 3 minutes, realized nothing was going on and she didn't really want us there, so we left and started walking back home. at one point, i guess me and bryan just started running away from everyone. why, i don't remember. i don't even remember doing it. i do remember me and bryan walked past a frat pool party, and there were just hot mostly naked sluts filling the pool. we tried to get in, and they wouldn't let us, so we just kept going. we met up with everyone else, and we were going to run around in the ravene, but at this point i had one thing on my mind. go home, must find home, where am i, etc etc. i remember vaguely getting to the bridge, and just walking across it while everyone yelled at me. i remember stumbling around somewhere between the bridge and airs house, realized how much trouble i was having walking, and realizing i had no idea how to get home. i guess i turned at 70th, because i remember wandering up to the house from that direction. then, i woke up around noon the next morning, couldn't see straight, so just went back to bed. woke up about 4:30 hungover as all hell.
it was a good night, even though i can't remember over half of it. no one puked, everyone ended up home, it was a successful night :D
