an update or a mess of words. . .

this update won’t be very organized by any means and really i don’t care. today has just been a crazy day and i think writing about it might help. . .even if it is a middle school type play by play of the past 24 hours.

it all started friday night. i decided it was good to stay up until 3am doing really nothing. we had an event at bailey that i went to and helped clean up for. i learned i really suck at rockband drums and bass is boring. other than that the event went pretty well. afterwards i watched the office with my friend mike. that’s a whole long story in itself. he’s the type of person who you want to be friends with because they keep life interesting but then you don’t want to because they just cause you grief. i’m in the transition state of figuring which is more important. anyway, so i ended up not going to bed until 3am. not really horrible except for the fact that i had to work in 4 hours. i slept for 3 and half hours and actually felt well rested for my shift, surprising?

after my shift i ate lunch with a bunch of people, most of which went to the cru sadie hawkins dance friday night. i did not go. cru and i don’t mesh. so then you have obvious stories of how much fun it was and what i missed out on. i’m sad that i miss out on hanging out with those people, but i just really can’t do anything cru related anymore. i guess it could be considered as a type of “bad breakup” where your friends are still friends with them and you have to still be around them. i really just want nothing to do with cru but many of my friends still attend. i can’t really do anything about that. this could branch off into so many directions, but i think i’ll stick with what happened that made the past 24 hours so crazy.

after brunch i took a much needed nap and got caught up a little on my sleep, well enough for me to be functional for the evening. my friend eric came over and we watched a super cheesy, cute, romantic movie about a gay guy trying to find love. i really enjoyed the movie, but really i’m a sucker for any movie with a cute romantic storyline and a happy ending. i think these past few weeks i have been coming to terms with my stance on homosexuality, considering eric is gay and the previously mentioned mike just came out as well. why can’t i just have straight guy friends? whatever, at least i can talk to them about good looking guys. . .? then eric left and i was left with nothing to do. suzanne and kelli went to the movie at coffman and rebecca was on duty. it was a busy night for sure, which will come into play later.

so what do you do on a saturday night around bailey? well, hang around the desk of course! so basically from 9 until 12 i hung around the lobby talking to the CAs and other random people. being it was nice out and a saturday night there were obviously going to be many incidents. tonight they included such things as guys from a local frat running around shirtless banging on the ground floor windows then trying to sneak back into bailey because the cops were called and they didn’t want to go back to their frat. after ordering pizza with the CAs and another friend i decide i should probably get some sleep before i have to work again at 3am. i told my roommate that i wasn’t going to stay up like the night before but i did anyway. she was the one who worked before me.

so after my nap i get down to the desk and my roommate tells me i’ve missed a lot of action, meaning the i just missed the drunk bus getting back with all the people who went to some toga party. not really out of the ordinary for a saturday night. but here’s where it gets interesting. so suzanne and kelli are headed back from the movie and just so happen to be on the drunk bus. suzanne sends rebecca and me a text letting us know that lots of drunk people are coming. i being asleep don’t get it until i wake up. but rebecca calls suzanne to inquire more, as she is on duty it is her job to deal with all the drunk people. apparently there was a girl who was not able to really walk on her own and suzanne told rebecca about it. now i’m not sure about the details, but if someone is unable to walk on their own the CAs are supposed to approach them and help them out first and foremost. then they are to write them up for drinking. this really stops people from getting help if someone is dangerously intoxicated, like tonight. so rebecca has to find this girl and help her, but all has to write her up. she has to write up the people helping her as well. which brings us back to mike. he was one of the people helping her so evidently he got written up even though he claims he wasn’t drinking.

so while all this happened i was asleep and when i got down to the desk to work at 3 i was informed that there was a lot of crazy stuff going on. at that point mike walks by and confusingly tells me that i should check facebook and we aren’t friends anymore. not knowing what was going on i thought he was joking because he does that a lot. so i check my facebook and there’s a message from him saying that he apologizes and its nothing against me but he can’t be my friend because he can’t associate with people who associate with people who “tattle” for lack of a better description. at this point i still have no clue about what is going on. rebecca explains as much as she can to me, as most of this she is not supposed to share with other people. i used my deducting skills and put the pieces together to figure most of it out.

one of the things that really gets to me is when someone doesn’t like me or is mad at me and i have no clue why (ie this situation). i’m not one to want to make people mad and it just really gets to me when someone does something to make it seem like i’ve done something wrong. i don’t really know how to explain that. . . well i finally get him to come talk to me in person and find out that the reason he defriended me was because he had suspicions that it was suzanne that ratted out that girl. i told him it was, because really she didn’t rat out the girl she just told us that there were a lot of drunk people. nothing wrong with that. well he took it as her being a tattletale. he said that he can’t trust me because i associate with suzanne and rebecca. dumb, i know! i didn’t do anything. i’ve never told on him when he’s been drunk or anything. it seems all a little middle school to me.

now i’m in the stages of contemplation. yet i have no one to talk to to get their sides of the story and i am left to sit here wondering what tomorrow will hold. i have to tell suzanne about what happened. mike told me he will talk to me more tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes. on a sidenote the security monitor is creepy and keeps asking me about facebook and whether or not someone can have one if they don’t intend to upload pictures and whatnot? weird! that pretty much brings me to right now. thankfully i’m almost done with this shift and i can get a few more hours of sleep.

on top of that i found out this evening that a girl (mandy rief) i graduated with and had a few class with died in a house fire last night. seriously our class is cursed. i was talking to some other people and they said that everyone in their class is just getting pregnant, but it seems like everyone in our class is dying or having to deal with unfortunate events. my friend michael describes it as a final destination type of thing. its scary but it almost makes me think “who’s next?”

now that i’ve ended with such a positive note, i think i’m going to be done. i hope that was a sufficient update for you anna. sorry if it was jumbly, boring or just a mess. it was at least nice for me to get it off my chest.

good morning.
