Song of choice: Falling in Love (is so Hard on the Knees) - Aerosmith

I've moved in.. blah blah... all in and ready. All my stuff is here, except for the things I put on the walls. I'm going shopping with Tanya and Crystal tomorrow at Value Village and Woodbine Centre for things to decorate with.

OK... screw everything up until last night.

Last Night

All of the new students and their RA's went to CAPS after their floor meetings, and because my floor didn't move in until today, I decided that because I was the only other person on the floor (besides my RA) that I'd go to CAPS with everyone else. I'm glad I did. I didn't drink excessively, but I did just enough to feel a little lighter on my feet. Still composed, but feelin' happy. Crystal, on the other hand, seems like she's out to prove something. She literally guzzled 5 coolers (A combination of Triple Black and Strawberry Daq's in less than 2.5 hrs. That's not normally that bad, but considering she's a lightweight drinker, it was a poor decision. She fell down playing pool, and suffice to say, we thought the elevator ride up to her room would be easiest, but she obviously didn't think so cuz she fell down in that, too.

So Tanya, Cory (a guy that was helping, like me, people move in the last couple days...) and I sat with her for a bit to settle her down, then I sat with her 'till she fell asleep. I then said my good-nights, and made my way back to my room at about 3ish.

Today

Same deal, only this time it was MY floor (among others) that moved in. I went to CAPS tonite, too. Same deal, Crystal is out there to prove something by hitting the Triple Blacks early on. I ran into Chase, a guy we met last nite at caps while we were playing pool... ok, while Tanya and Crystal were trying to play pool.. we got to talking. He was there with two lady friends - Jenn and Angel (obviously not her real name, but will be cuz she's gonna change it soon).

The two girls were nice. Angel was just that - she seemed really nice. I sat there for about 45 minutes thinking to myself who Jenn reminded me of, and if you can believe it, she's a cross (looks-wise) between Sandra Bullock and Fariuza Balk (not a bad combination at all).

Anyway, same deal - I had a couple to get light on my feet again. I hadn't had anything to eat but a burger at 11am, so it didn't take much before I was smilin'.

At about 11pm it was decided that we were going back to Angel's room (who I believe is seeing Chase, but not sure...) for some Tequila shots and Fireball Whiskey.

What did I say? "what the hell... why not? I dont have anyone here telling me otherwise.." So armed with a pocket full of money....... that I later put two and two together and realized I wouldn't need it...............

interruption

I had a pocket full of money from when my parents came up to pick up the car. I moved myself in this year so I had it here.
My grandmother came with them, and when I mentioned I'd be going to CAPS tonite, my grandmother smiled, and my mum started to dig through her purse (obviously looking for a little spare cash to give to me). While she did this, my grandmother continued to smile, and handed me $20! My dad followed suit and gave me $10, while my mum didn't even notice, she hands me a friggin' FIFTY!!

Anyway, back to the story

We went back where I drank 3 shots of Tequila, two shots of Fireball, and half a shot of this green stuff that looked like mouth wash. I wasn't a huge fan. We then decided it would be good to order a pizza. I call PizzaPizza (this oughta be fun).. Anyway, I seemingly order the pizza without a hitch. She asked me to verify that the phone number and extension were correct, I said she was wrong, corrected her, and she said it'd be ready in 40mins, but that she was going to call back and verify. We waited, and waited, and waited....

I called back wondering where our pizza was - she got our extension wrong. The "only thing [they] could do" was put me on the phone with customer service. So they did and I was on hold and waited and waited....

and waited...

I hung up and called back, even more pissed off and drunk, telling the guy I wanted my pizza!

He told me I ordered it 18minutes ago, I said yes, he verified my order for me, and said it'd be 40 minutes...

just wait a god damned second here.. I ordered it 18 mins ago, but am given ANOTHER 40? that's bullshit, and I told the guy so. Mohammed didn't like me that much for it, but I told him that I wasn't paying for it if it arrived more than 21 minutes from that point in time.

18 minutes later I get a call telling me to go downstairs that the delivery guy would be there in "two minutes, sharp". They obviously want their money for this pizza.

I told the delivery guy to call his boss - he told Chase and I that he doesn't have a boss... This just in, Billion dollar pizza tycoon PizzaPizza has fired all their employees but a lowly delivery guy and a man named Mohammed to answer calls who, I'm convinced, is the same guy but just changes his voice whenever you call. Anyway, after all that, I managed to - while half ripped - convince the delivery guy to call Mohammed. He called someone (dont know who) but in the end I got my free pizza.

I dont care where you are, it shouldn't take 3 phone calls on my behalf, 1 phone call they said they made (but to the wrong extension) and 45 minutes to get a pizza.

We got free pizza.

We got Crystal back to her room after the pizza, and same as yesterday, I sat with her 'till she fell asleep.

Later...

I was leaving Crystal's room, said g'nite to Tanya, and was walking down their [all girls] hallway. I noticed that Michelle (didn't know her name at the time) was hunched over a bed herself talking to another victim of the sauce. Erika.

I asked them if everything was OK, Michelle explained that she didn't know Erika, but that she was absolutely (and I mean TOTALLY) ripped and needed serious help. I, being the good guy that I am, sat down next to her bed and started talking to her. She dry-heaved a few times, but that was a good sign because it meant her stomach was empty. She passed out, but really worried me. Nobody knew her, not even Michelle, and she didn't know anyone. I sat for a while, noticed she was in her bathing suit and smallish blanket. I looked over and sure enough there were her bedsheets and comforter crumpled in the corner. She threw up on 'em before I got there.. mmmmmmmmmmmm.....

anyway, she was out for a bit, and I went and threw her bedsheets in the wash. I couldn't put her comforter in though cuz it said 'dry clean only'. I felt bad about that (dont ask me why) so I left her a little note explaining who I was (cuz I really dont think she knows) and what I did with her sheets.

So that was my night... why was I drinkin' tonite? I wasn't going to until I got royally pissed off before my floor meeting tonite that I just said screw it, I was gonna have fun... I'll spare reasons for my upset-ness cuz I like to think I actually have class... others may disagree, I really dont give a damn anymore.

anyway, I'm tired... I just got back from Erika's about a half hour ago, and now I want to sleep...

Until next time.......
