drink up last call before the sunrise sets the scene - of empty bottles, heavy hearts, memories of broken dreams

it only seems fitting that a song from the soundtrack of my senior year summer describes this night. summer after senior year was all about change and saying goodbye to my life in high school, and now i wonder what precipice i am now facing.

i had every intention of waking up and going to breakfast with grant before he left for starkville, but it didn't happen. there was no rousing me from the dead saturday morning. both katie and i were lazy as hell and slept through most of the football game. i woke up, finished reading twilight, read the jfp and did the crossword. it is amazing that i can do crosswords again. no more beautiful mind-esque connections being blocked, all neurons going full speed ahead without any medications slowing them down. the jfp made me think of stephen barnette and my crush on him. i think i will have to work jubilee jam again despite all the frustration just to see him and jamie again. they were both so sweet and so amazing. i wish i had the balls to ask for numbers so that maybe i don't have to wait for a time to come along that i might cross their paths. i don't like searching for needles in a haystack.

katie and i watched more tv, and waited for jp to go pick up some food from aladdins. i try to avoid mediterranean food like the plague after greece, but i made an exception. we then listened to a bunch of music, watched more tv, and made some connections.

i.e. - compare the intro of mgmt's electric feel and jack's mannequin's bloodshot.
also, compare the intro of jack's mannequin's crashin' and something corporate's you're gone.
lastly, the chime parts in jack's mannequin's into the airwaves and mae's anything. uncanny folks. just saying.

dinner at the olive garden with sam. bottomless pasta bowls, hell yeah. it was nice, and we were able to kinda interact normally after my breakdown the night before. then i got to meet eli when we headed to the fondren cups for coffee. the first blondie i had in a very long time. he was really cool, but i guess sam i and both are breaking from our archetypes we have established for ourselves. he then bought us some captain morgan's, which we immediately broke into before our next destination. barely enough room for dinner, coffee, and alcohol. somehow we managed though.

then sam and i went to cody's show at sam's lounge. we headed to the show early so we could get in - considering that it was 21 and up. cody and his friend, aka the passing parade, were amazing. there is not a person on this earth who i would have rather shared this night with than sam. it is in the shadow of great moments like these - so perfect in such an ordinary way, that i think we really appreciate one another.
oh, and every single pore of cody's body exudes sex. we ended up leaving to go meet up with eli and some other belhaven people and cody said he would text me whenever they were headed out. oh! and i saw alex, tim, and kelly at the show. i hadn't seen any of them in forever, so that was nice. i felt like such an ass for forgetting kelly's name though :( pictures turned out horribly...i really couldn't use flash. there were all of like...15 people watching the show, and it was actually annoying just to hear the shutter close, so i wasn't about to flash all up in this dark old lounge. here are a few anyways.



then millsaps, more shenanigans, etc. sam and i split up - she ultimately went over to belhaven and i worked my way from pike to lambda chi to pike to sae then back to pike. i was planning on staying awake all night and just driving through, but i ultimately crashed around 330. i was very tempted to go meet up with cody and continue the night, but unfortunately he caught me the moment my head hit the futon. i am certain that we will see each other again soon though.

and this is how my saturday night, which i intended to be tame, turned into sunday.
