October in a nutshell

I have been way too busy to write. Seriously. Here are highlights:

The first weekend in October my mom, aunt and uncle came to town. We ate a lot. We did touristy things. It was nice to see them, and my mom and I even got a day to ourselves which was nice. Obviously no craziness occurred so I will move along.

The weekend after this was boring. Court could not get drunk. Nothing else interesting happened. Am I getting lame?

Two weekends ago Court and I went to DC to stay with Adrienne, who was having a party with her roomates. Our friends Mary Margaret (aka Spies) and Laura also came with us, b/c Adrienne lives with their good friend EA. Another girl, Margaret, came with them b/c her good friends also live with Adrienne and EA. Jenna came up from LA b/c it was her birthday, Brittany came just from Austin for the hell of it, and another NY girl, Claire, came Saturday. Let's also not forget the seventh NY girl, Lauren, who came up by train before we got there. Are you getting all this? Basically there were like 13 girls staying in this one house and it felt like sorority days all over again. I think we let that get to our heads...

Court, Laura, Spies, Margaret and I caught the bus Friday at 5:30. We slept for the first bit of the trip, but when we got to the rest stop like an hour and a half outside of DC, we got mixers and started making drinks. We were those girls on the bus--the ones trying but failing to be inconspicuous about drinking, and getting louder and louder with each drink. It was a fun bus ride for the last leg and we were all pretty drunk by the time we got to DC, which was somewhere around 11 or 11:30pm. We quickly got ready and headed out to some bar--Jenna also was pretending to be getting married, so it was a fake bachelorette party. I thought this would mean free drinks were in the bag, however, DC boys turned out to be cheaper than NY boys. Luckily, Adrienne's BF Ryan was there to help us out. I think he helped me out a little too much b/c I got blackout drunk and don't even remember the end of the night. Apparently one of my friends took a guy home from the bar then kind of forgot about him (we assume he just left), and a few of them shacked. The girl with the best shacking story was Jenna, who shacked with a Polish guy named Arthur who we had seen her making out with at the bar. She got a cab to meet us at Whole Foods the next afternoon, and showed up in his J Crew sweater (circa 1996) over her dress from the night before--complete with 5 inch heels. We are some classy bitches, what can I say.

Brittany, Adrienne and I walked around Georgetown (a cute ritzy area) Sat afternoon and I spent the rest of the afternoon making Jello shots with Whitney, one of Adrienne's roomates. EA had already made 200 or so, and Whitney and I made about 300 more. The fridge was cleaned out and was filled completely with Jello shots by the time we were done. We also made trashcan punch and the girls had gotten 2 kegs, and we set up a beer pong table. Can you tell that we were all fratastic in college?

The night was as crazy as one would expect. A lot of people came, a lot of drinking games were played, a lot of drunk fratty guys acted retarded and did things like spit on people and harass girls. EA drew a mustache with a shaprie on some tooljob, which was pretty funny. I was really into beer pong, I am pretty sure I was talking some shit and having a damn good time doing it. I don't recall much, yet again, but I do know that I passed out on the couch downstairs--probably while people were still partying. I heard a rumor that mustache guy might have come and joined me for a while--which is gross if he touched me at all--but I am sure was highly entertaining for others. I kind of wish there were pics. When I woke up, I was alone and the mustache tooljob was on the other couch, thank God.

Basically we acted like a bunch of college kids, and it felt strangely like I was back at UT, I guess because everyone went there, and because I was back in a house with a million girls. It was a lot of fun, and we decided we needed to do things like that more often--so Court and I want to have a Christmakah party here in December. Even though we don't have a house, we do have the terrace...that's a big deal, kids. It would be nice to have a drunken UT reunion party every few months--more of ya'll should come!

This week I worked a lot b/c we had a cocktail party Thursday. I got drunk at the event after ours, which was a Trader Magazine party. Oh yea, I am going to be in a pic in the back of Trader mag in the social pages. Me and some traders. Haha. Saturday (yesterday) we had that huge event/job search that I may told you all about (I can't say the name b/c I have an internet tracker on the name of it and I can't have my blog tracked to work). Anyway, it went well despite the rain.

So I didn't go out Friday since I had to get up early Sat, and Saturday night was really kind of lame. Court and I got all dressed up for Halloween. I was the Greek Goddess of wine and she was a pirate. We had a lot of trouble getting a cab and I thought I might freeze to death b/c of my skimpy clothes--even though I had on a peacoat. We finally met up with Missy at a party with no alcohol, then moved on to a party with no boys. I would have been fine, even though I was really tired, but Court wasn't feeling it and I was OK going home early. This means that we must now take lots of pics on Halloween (Tues night) when we dress up, since we basically took none. I think Chris is having a little apt party, since his apartment is overlooking the parade in the village. We will prob go down to the parade for a bit, but if it's cold, I might have to wear a blanket and transform into a Greek Olsen.

I think (hope) that work will be less crazy this week. Jason is coming to visit on Thursday and I am super excited. I think I am taking Friday off. We have no idea what we are going to do (well, that's not completely true...) but we need to do some activities outside of my apartment. I am thinking ice skating. We will see.

Time for bed. That was October...I will try to be better for November.
