Today was a little bit crazy I guess. I woke up on the TKE couch at around 9:30 AM and had a pretty big headache from last night's drinking. My parents were still out of town, so I went home to feed the dogs and all that. So I drove home, did that, took a shower downstairs, and went to sleep on the downstairs mattress.
I woke up a couple hours later and was feeling a little better. I finished up some stuff around the house, I fed Orange Man, the other cats, got an egg from the chickens, and then left to go feed Pete, the cat at Rach's house. So I fed him but didn't see him.
Then I went to Nana's house and by this time it was probably around 2 pm, and I was planning on going to the tailgate at 3. So I really didn't feel like drinking anymore, but I did anyway, because I've been looking forward to this tailgate for like, 2 weeks. So I prepared some stuff to bring, like a water bottle filled with vodka and Sprite and my lunchbox filled with drinks. So I put all that into a backpack and went to the tailgate.
I got there a little after 3 and luckily found a parking spot in a commuter lot on N Pacific. It wasn't technically a spot, but I made it a spot. Everywhere was parked full. So I put on my backpack and walked to the tailgate. I found the TKE tent and at first I felt like I didn't really know anyone there. None of the good tekes were there. But I was given some Jell-O shots, did the beer bong-zilla twice, and sipped from my awful tasting water bottle concoction. So eventually I got a little drunk and then all of these people that I knew started appearing. First was Logan Wendell. I talk to him for a good thirty minutes. He apparently wants to be in the FBI or CIA or something. Then I ran into Pam and Ella, and I started talking to them. Pam was drinking a Yuengling Flight and I think she may have been a little drunk. But I also talked to them for a while. We talked about how my parents are gone for the wedding, Janell's gone at the fair, and I'm the only one of my family here. And I asked about Ella's sorority. Then I ran into Paige, and she was with these other people, I had no idea who they were. I told one of her friends that I liked her piercings. Another of her friends gave me a Dr. Pepper football. Then we ran into Olivia, and I guess Paige and Olivia are friends again? So that's cool. And Lennon and Ashton Gariagni showed up from somewhere. So we all talked for a while. And then Nate Jones appeared and he was super drunk and was drinking Malibu from a water bottle. So me and him went to a Sig Nu house because he's in Sig Nu, and they had pizza in there. So I ate two pieces and then grabbed another before I left to bring to-go. But yeah, Nate passed out on the couch in that house and Kenzi, a girl from my nursing cohort was in there, too, for some reason. So I talked to her about her sorority some, she's in A Phi. Then I really don't know what happened. I think after I ate I got really tired and I fell asleep on the TKE couch, because that's where I woke up.
I woke up right before 10 o'clock on the couch, so I'd slept for about 4 hours. I woke up to Jafar in the house and he was about to go to Hypno, and he told me to come along. At Hypno, there was supposed to be this SEMO and SIU afterparty thing, because that's who we played today, SIU. I wasn't going to go, but at the tailgate, Logan's friend Jill said she had extra tickets and I could have one. But Jafar also had extra tickets, and since he was here, I just decided to use one of his. So we got Mason to drive us there because he was the sober driver. Apparently he ended up driving for 12 hours that day, from 2 PM to 2 AM. So, I feel bad for him, but I'm glad I declined his offer for me to drive.
But Hypno really wasn't that great. There was this DJ outside on the patio area, so that area was pretty crowded. This one older TKE alumni bought me a drink pretty early on because he said he could tell I wasn't drunk. Also, I didn't have my ID or wallet with me, so I couldn't buy anything myself if I wanted to. And they somehow let me in without an ID. So that guy bought me this weird red drink with a shot on the inside of the cup. Then he gave me a cigarette. So I kinda just hung out at this table with some of the tekes. A lot of people from TKE were behind the DJ stand, which a lot of people on Yik Yak said was corny, and I honestly agree. So there weren't that many people around that I knew. But then Jill, that one friend of Zach and Logan's, ended up buying me a Monaco and talking to me for a bit. So that was nice of her. And Logan eventually showed up, too, but I didn't really get to talk to him here. Asian Nathan and Zehao and some other guy showed up so I sat with them for a bit and smoked another cigarette or so. And that was basically it, they shut down probably a little before 2 PM and I ended up walking back to 333 with some guy named Wyatt who was going to an after-party. He was kind of cool, he was an apprentice electrician. But yeah, I got back to 333 and there were quite a few guys in the living room, like Scott and the alumni unc, and Mason, and they were all talking and it was probably 4 AM before I fell asleep. iCarly was playing on the TV for a bit, that was fun to watch while it lasted. But that's about it.
So today was interesting. Probably a 7/10 day.
