Today was Tri Delta's Triple Play event and also a tailgate and football game. I woke up at 9:30, which was pretty lucky, because I didn't have an alarm set and we were supposed to be at 333 to pregame at 10 am. So I got ready and went there.
The pregame for Triple Play was alright. There were probably 10 guys there and Keely, Presley, and Madison from Tri Delta, because they were our coaches. So they brought Fireball shots and vodka and orange juice for screwdrivers, so I had one screwdriver that ended up having quite a bit of vodka in it, because Kevin poured in some extra. They also had some little breakfast sandwiches with biscuits and sausage and those were pretty good. It was a little awkward with the deltas because of my predicament with Keely and how I rejected her a couple of weeks ago. I watched them play that one train card game, I forgot the name of it, but people were playing that on the beer die table outside. I don't know how that game works so I didn't play.
We left at probably 10:45 to go to the fields. I guess I should explain what Triple Play actually is. It is Tri Delta's main philanthropy event and is basically just a softball tournament. So they were at the fields by Bertling and Sprigg, I guess those are the IM fields. We rode in the bed of Grant's truck, and it was a nice little ride over there. At the fields, we practiced a bit, and I think I was a little tipsy or maybe I just forgot how baseball works because I wasn't doing very good and I was saying it was because I was wearing a left-handed mitt and I'm not left-handed. But yeah, if you're right-handed, you're supposed to wear a left-handed mitt so that you can throw with your dominant hand. So they probably thought I was crazy. Then we practiced on the field for a bit before we started, and I was throwing back and forth with Kevin. My first couple of throws to him were really rough, I was making him run.
So we started at 11:15 am and I think we were playing Sig Chi? I really don't remember. I was playing 2nd base, but Matt was batting for me, because he's an actual baseball player and I hadn't practiced batting. We started out not too great, we started on offense and they immediately caught all of our hits. Then they got several points once they started batting. But we eventually started doing a little better, we got a couple of points, I think Matt hit a home run. I was mainly just standing by second base, but at one point, I actually got an out, Grant threw it to me, I caught it, and then touched the base. So that was awesome. And then Asian Nathan wanted to play so they took me out, right as I was starting to do good. But the game didn't go on too long after that. We lost, I think it was 3-6 or something, so not too bad of a loss. So we rode back to 333 in Grant's truck and that was that.
At 333, I sat in my car for a bit because they weren't really doing anything inside. It was also a little past noon at this point, so the tailgate had started. So eventually I walked down to the tailgate, and it was basically empty. I talked to Rachel and some other girl and they were running this big screen that was showing the Mizzou game. Apparently Rachel also quit the Juicery because I was asking her about that. None of the tekes were even here yet, and when they finally did get here, they weren't even there for more than 20 minutes. The tailgate was just really dead, probably because a lot of the frats were still playing in Triple Play. So I also went back to 333 because that's where all the tekes went, and they were all just in the living room watching the Mizzou game on the TV. So that was boring, so whenever Romell said that he was having Jafar take him to get some alcohol, I went along with them. Normally, I would not have done that, but it was really boring.
So I went and got my wallet and Jafar drove Romell and I to Schnucks, because Romell wanted Cutwater. At Schnucks, they didn't have the flavor that he wanted, so we were going to go somewhere else. I didn't realize how expensive Cutwater is. I know it's pretty strong, but it's still like 15 bucks for four cans. Then, when we were still in Schnucks, we were just looking around a bit, and I lifted up the price tag for the bottles of Fireball, and somehow two bottles of Fireball fell out of the box and one of the caps broke, so it started spilling out of the floor. So I quickly picked that up and put it back and started rushing Romell out of the store before someone noticed the puddle of Fireball on the ground. Then Romell started saying my name and stuff, and I was telling him not to say my name because the cameras will pick it up and they'll be able to identify me. So we got out of there, Romell was telling me I should have 'Zamboni'd it" which I guess is licking it off the ground, I don't know. So we went to Neighborhood Walmart next, and they still didn't have his flavor, but he got some other drink. I realized the Four Loko is actually pretty good value. Not even three bucks for a tall can with about 14% in it, so I got one of those. And Jafar got Grey Goose vodka. So we all checked out and left. Olivia was texting me on the way back that she was at the tailgate.
So I went back to the tailgate once we got back, and I brought my new drink with me. Rachel was still there so I talked to her, then I saw Ella and her dad, but just waved to her. Then right after I saw her, I saw my mom and Jennifer. I knew she was going to the game, but I did not realize my mom was going to be at the tailgate, so that was bit of a surprise. So I talked to her some about nothing in particular, just trying to act not drunk. I didn't talk to her for too long because her and Jennifer were making their way inside for the game. Then I talked to Paige right after, because she was there. Her friend Aubrey was there, too, and that's the person she was making that one short film with, and I told them I could be an actor if they need me too. So hopefully they didn't take that too literal, because I would not be good at that. But I talked to her and her group for a while, then I talked to Ellie and some Tri Sigmas for a bit, then Olivia found me and I hung out with her for a long time, and Rylee from work was there again, so I said hi to her while Olivia was with me, which was kind of weird. But we talked for a while, too. Olivia was with some other people like Cass and some people I didn't know, but somehow I got on my cartwheel phase again. I don't know why, but once I get to a certain level of drunk, I really like doing cartwheels, this is a thing that has happened before. So I actually did a cartwheel, right in the middle of the street of the tailgate, and I kind of started a trend. This little boy started doing these crazy cartwheel back-handspring things, and he got more applause than me, he actually got the crowd going. And then me and that one guy that's Paige's friend kind of did some synchronized cartwheels, I don't know, it was probably awesome to witness from an outside perspective. But the tailgate was starting to clear out, the game had started and it was after 3 pm, so we started to leave and I went with Olivia's group. She started talking about the Tea app, and I told her to post me on it, but I wanted a cool picture of me being mid-jump to be on it. So she took that and posted it. Then I went back to Merick with them and got a little tour of Olivia's new room. We weren't there for too long, because they were going to Ellis, which was Phi Delt's house. So I was not going there, but I rode with them in Cass's car because it was near the TKE house.
So they went to Ellis, I went to TKE, and Owen was right at the top of the stairs, on the porch. And he kind of went crazy when he saw me, he was like, "Bronson! Where did you come from!" So I sat out there for a bit, I still had my Four Loko with me so I was sipping on that. Then some more people showed up, we started playing never have I ever with some Tri Deltas that showed up. Larik, Keely, Kenady, Owen, and Maddie are the people I remember. For some reason I started talking about Quentin Tarantino, I don't know. But then I went to my car and fell asleep, because I was actually really tired.
I woke up at almost 10 o'clock, so I was asleep at least four hours. And I still had my Four Loko and it still had some in it. I got a mention from Grant in the TKE group chat telling me to pull up to the Tri Delta shot party because I guess it was Selena's birthday. So I went there, it was kinda fun. Then Kenady was telling me to call Janell, so I did, and they were telling her to come there because she was just in her room. And then Keely took my phone and really started telling her to. So Janell did show up, and then Kenady was going to give her a room tour, but I went with them because I wasn't really doing anything out on the porch. So we got to see that, I don't think Janell liked the fact that I went with them. And I was asking Kenady if she played Fortnite since she had an Xbox in her room.
Then I ran into some tekes going to The Library, so I rode with them there, because why not. I went to my car and grabbed a Twisted Tea before I went, to have something to drink. What I did not grab was my wallet or my ID. But that didn't matter, because there wasn't a bouncer or anyone. I even brought my Twea in with me. It was kind of fun there, nothing crazy. I talked to Ryker a lot and Lucas Gaskill some. I was talking a little about religion with him, which was interesting. Then I saw Adriana, my clinical partner, and started talking to her some. The tekes were amazed I was talking to her because they thought she was beautiful I guess. Then I went with Ryker to talk to her again, I really don't know why I did that, that was kind of weird, I just wanted to show them that she was just my lab partner. But yeah, not much else happened. I don't really like bars that much, because I always feel confined to the group that I came with. Romell kept having me go to the bathroom with him, I don't know why. But he's kind of funny, we kind of click when we're drunk. And I really was not drunk at this point. I had my one Twea, and did not buy anything here.
Then we went back and I decided to go to McDonald's because I was hungry. I hadn't had anything to drink for three hours, so I think I was good there. I had the Twea at 11, it was now 2 am. So I got McDonalds, and Jafar and Whitlow were going a little crazy wondering where I was. Jafar was calling me and Whitlow was texting me, I don't know why they cared. They probably thought I was still drunk. But I got my food and went back to 333 for a bit, they were watching The Nightmare Before Christmas for some reason. So I watched that a bit and then went to Nana's at around 3 am because I did not really want to sleep at 333.
And that's basically it, I fell asleep pretty quick once I got there. So a very full day. 7/10.
