i can't get 'woo' out of my head. god damn.

ok don't want to spend toooo much time writing, even though we've had a more eventful ("more eventful" - who says that?!) finals week than i'd thought it was going to be. the weekend before finals was a nonstudious one:

FRIDAY NIGHT

stubbs and felipe stayed in because of a sat test (no, not the s.a.t. ha ha ha). ant went to purdue with katie r and tony and meredith and i never asked him how that went because, could it go any other way!? so anyways, i went to a party with kirsten, kirsten's friend mary, and mary's two friends from kendallville (sp?). marla and marta were there, and so were the manhammer boys for a well fed show.

at first i didn't think it was the greatest party, but (oh yeah, a 'but'...) there were girls there and it wasn't a homo party (no homo) like the guys had been at the saturday before, and that says something! it does! even tho i didn't meet many, i did meet meghan a girl i have noticed at the foodcourt and then journalism second row all year and we actually met which i am glad we did. talked about things and she intro'd me to LN times 2 -- two ellens! that was fun, really wasted...

so i am trying to remember and write about this and that but all i really ever did was get drunk -- really really. i'd never gotten to be drunk with kirsten, and after two beers she got in my face, her eyes get really big, and she says, "nate...i'm a lightweight. i'm really drunk," in her kirsten really way of saying things. a lot of guys were trying to hit on her and i think i was her decoy boy at times -- they'd see us together and kinda turn the hitting on on 'low' (later she said that was probably good) and i talked to ryan white her boyfriend on the phone for a good 5 minutes. he was coool. also, it was the last time i'd be seeing marta (exchange-student from spain) and so i kissed her on the cheeks like they do in spain haha. and marla, i thought i'd see her in journ final but no, she emailed monday to say "till next year" tho! and chris was SUPER RAD as always, example: giving me his jungle juice for my warm beer! it'll be fun having them all over next year woo!

went home with the girls i came with in a taxi and did as much as can be goodbyes as you can do that drunk, and talked to stubbs on the phone for too long he was up studying ready for bed, too. ant came to my room when he heard his IM ding and i just found out today that i felt him up -- he has breasts! i'm glad he didn't take it the wrong way (and you don't either katie r, ha!). instead of drunk blogging which i was going to, funny enough (eee!), wrote emails to meghan lucas and ellen keating because i'd promised meghan i would and she didn't think so! and because i could! if anything, it was fun for them to read in the morning sober; here's one so just imagine two of this one (and then two shorties -- drunk with emails to show for it woo!):

ellen -

hey this is nathan...from the party last night, or tonight actually. scotch-irish guy or whatever. that's pretty random. also random is that your last name is a kid i know's first name! and my sober friend said i'm pretty drunk. we had the best drunken good time ive ever had good time. drunk love. it's like punch-drunk love the movie drunk but without the punch. replace it with jungle juice. i know this is dorky but here's my screenname, runnastud03. even dorkier here's my website batman6.diaryland.com haha have fun there it is! you have to IM me or call me and i'll put my cellphone number in here 534-370-7273, i put it now what chickenbutt...i'm pretty dead-brained feeling it makes sense, though. i hope you have a good summer. you gotta come see us visit our apartment next fall we're going to have super rad parties! this email entitles you to email me back it's like a requirement. a code of emailing. i hope you had a good night anyways even if you don't. but you will, i believe!! i have to pee, goodnight, hah. i repeat i may be drunk but it's the thought that counts!

~sincerely nathan

haha signed it nathan she was calling me nathan. stubbs played a big role in me being able to send that off ;p haha he's my main man (definitely -- he worked at kmart! ..anyone get that?!) and ant has noticed that whenever i give my cell number it's matt's because, well, because he has one! it's my way of putting us in touch with people i guess, giving out his cell number hahhahah but looking back at it, it's not his either, the area code should be 574 (got it ellen and meghan!) woo!

anyweighz so ellen wrote back that was nice and meghan im'ed (her version of an email), get to that later...

SATURDAY

i don't remember much of a saturday...i really don't i took a nap that and writing for creative writing i think was the bulk of it...oh yeh had mcd's with ant (the first of many trips since ewww) and we watched the last episode of fresh prince there where will and carlton do the carlton together woo. then, katie r and meredith coming to pick up ant call me and are going down 3rd the wrong way to forest (god damn!).

so the phone rang at 6:30 and it was stubbs, stubbs saying how evidently i'd told chizzle we'd go out for her birfday...and she wanted us over in 15. rushed to get going and we three felipe stubbs and me walked to kirsten's car. walking there, felipe reminded me of a big kid -- he should've had an osh-gosh-m'gosh shirt on! it was kirsten chizzle mary katie alyse sara and simon at the car. we went and ate thai food at a thai restaurant nonetheless, called siam house on 4th. it was very fun and i took many pictures for chizzle to send home to her fam in india! she might be (IS!) the most photogenic person i know. i had noodles just like kirsten and felipe.

i'm writing too much god damn.

stubbs and felipe went home and i hung around with kirsten mary and chizzle at ashton. we...had a good time, kirsten said she'd miss me, mary played her guitar and sang for some people and she has a wonnerful voice, chizzle complained about her boyfriend, understandably, tho that's what girls dooooo, too.

SUNDAY

oh sunday, katie r and meredith brought ant home after ben folds concert and i met them in my boxers and then the boy and girl ran off doing god knows what and i was left babysitting meredith. i took her to the black student union's outdoor festivities and got a hotdog mmm. then at wright food court i saw meghan and opted to sit with her and friends woo. her and meredith talked ben folds and i interrupted mostly. she filled me in more on the human sex class her friend (why can't i remember her name!?) had taken -- 8 pg pap on my sexuality and have to interview a stripper, stubbs you can come, man. after this point is when meghan im'ed woo. yada yada next we went to the wright bros room with gummi bears and wound down meredith and katie's time here on bikes and boxing ant and the infamous tom in the flotation big gloves boxing ring at the black student union's event. katie r yelled out, "gowdy!" as they drove off woo.

this is the part where i get to cheat and use what ant wrote woo:

The First Tuesday That Hasn't Sucked in Quite a While

...Around 8:30 [monday night] I received a call from none other than THE Kristi Malicoat. She was in Bloomington with friend Andrea from Butler. They had come to down to shop at Urban Outfitters from Indy because they were finished with classes and had nothing better to do. Turns out UO closes at 8 during the week here so the girls were twenty minutes too late. Well they asked if they could come see me and I said of course.

They arrived soon after and I showed them my room (but not my roommate, none of the guests ever gets to see him). They decided they’d still like to shop and I saw that maybe they were looking for a place to crash so I offered never thinking they’d accept. But they did! And that was pretty cool. With the psych studying at a standstill and my paper nearly done I figured I could stand to eat some dinner. Gowdy and I took the girls to Wright and met Matt and Felipe. While in the bathroom Kristi ran into Amber and that was funny for both of them to just happen to see each other. While walking to the food court we saw Chelsea from the summer and she joined us too. Despite our dwindling meal points Gowdy and I covered the girls and we had a nice dinner. It was funny telling Kristi several of the recent developments of the past year. If anyone gets excited about gossip its Kristi.

After dinner we said bye to the Wright Bros. and headed back to Forest. Katie called and despite loud people and bad reception (talking underwater) it’s hearing her voice…it will be nice seeing the face along with it very soon. After Katie and I basically gave up on the poor reception, Nate and I studied, the girls read his story and then fell asleep (but not from the story! Hah). We agreed breakfast would be in order the next morning before the girls shopped so we decided on Runcible Spoon obviously.

Gowdy had a final at 8am [i think it gave me an A in psych woo!] so he met us at Runcible Spoon when he was done and ate our leftover breakfast. It wasn’t much, but it was free to him. Andrea mentioned at breakfast “I’m a lot more excited to come home (South Bend) knowing these guys are going to be around.” That was really nice of her, I’m glad she finds us entertaining. Breakfast was awesome and never too expensive. The girls checked out the bathroom (#5 Bathroom in the world on the Travel Channel).

After breakfast we shopped at Urban Outfitters where I basically perused the guys section then played video games. Gowdy looked at the novelty books and contemplated purchasing a book of insults and slang. He ended up buying some socks. The girls shopped for what seemed like an hour and Andrea was the only one to buy anything and I guess that’s how girls are. We shopped other places-- the vintage store, and papaya (don’t know if that’s what it’s called or not). Andrea had to be at work by 2:00 so it was important that the girls head out promptly, so we said our goodbyes and they were on their way.

Once they headed out Gowdy and I stopped into TD’s Cd’s and Lp’s, a place we didn’t know existed until Phil Kijak mentioned it. It had a ton of stuff. I’m thinking if you need a CD and can’t find it at one of the stores on Kirkwood it probably doesn’t exist.

We left Kirkwood after a bit and I dropped my paper off at Ballantine and then we hit up McDonald’s for lunch. We would go again for dinner and I’m totally sick of Mickey D’s. I pretty much bummed around my room waiting for my psych final after that and when I went it wasn’t raining but when I came out it was and I hate riding my bike in the rain. The final was fair not too hard but challenging.

I came home after the final and napped for a long time and then watched David and Mavis pack up their stuff and head out [ant's roommmate and girlfriend] I think David’s heading out this morning; he’s cleaning like mad right now and is having check out in about 20 minutes. Like I said before, Gowdy and I hit up McDonald’s for dinner and I thought that was the end of the night but then Meghan from Teter IMed Gowdy and asked him to come chill in her room with people and he asked me along and I said sure why not. My final isn’t until tomorrow so I didn’t feel too bad hanging out for a while.

The girls company was nice, they were all very friendly and lively. The highlight of the evening had to be the button maker that Ellen has. Gowdy made a batman button and I made one that says “Call me Ant” and it features an ant of my own design. We also watched GI Joes, I talked to Meghan who also went to Ben Folds at Purdue and it was just an all around good time. We didn’t stay too late but long enough for the girls to say hey you’re cool you should hang out with us more often. Of course it’s the end of the year but it seems like next year we’ll be having a lot of company. Most of the people we know are living on campus next year and it’s cool that we’re the group of kids that got out early and will be doing the entertaining.

...end ant rant.

this woo thing has got to stop! it's like 'hyo' was at the beginning of the year for us. reminds me of the dr suess book we were reading at urban outfitters yesterday. got socks golden-toe there woo. god damn. yup so it was a good time; what ant failed to mention was that i was awoken from my nap yesterday evening as the police came and busted the guys across the hall ("couldn't they have waited three days to get in trouble?!" evan says) for co-conspirating stealing textbooks from TIS and selling them back! hahah my favorite cop line i heard thru the door all serious was, "don't bullshit -- do you want to go to jail or not?" and when i stepped out one of the boys in blue looks at me as i look down at literally a hallway filled with cases and cans of empty beer bottles (keepin' it to recycle!) and he says, "don't worry, it's all empty." hahha okay? and one of these days tom's not going to get away -- he was in his room and didn't answer when they pounded on it, seems he's always the one not caught. told him this morning how he missed all the fun.

anyways so last night i got home talked to alyson, a friend of meghan's, and we figured out file sharing over AIM woo! and ellen had fun being a guestbook fiend she was fun. and they had the 'woo' thing down before we showed them the WOO WOO video on ebaums woo. ok almost done writing woo i'm tired of it...oh and we learned an important something about zippers with ellen, an important lesson everyone should know.

this morning slept in nicely and am doing this eating at 2 after the guys' finals. was telling alyson (we're music lovers!) about how speedy gonzalez isn't allowed on tv anymore and how i'm living with a mexican next year and she says, "i am livin with three hoes." haha! if only she was a guy if only if only. if only not! she s friends with jay smith small world see her at the foodcourt soon she works there but maybe-most-probably not her friends because we're all going home soon. okay this is getting ridiculous i'm getting burnt out on writing just like evan burnt out his fan it's been running all year he hasn't turned it off once and it won't start after i turned it off last night to listen to the police. did i miss anything, say it ain't so...in the gbook?!

aaaaaannnd i have to study, latinos final at 6 i think tomorrow, and go here Little 50 Pic 1 and Pic 2 and Pic 3 and last but not least to cap the year and a long entry, the story you've all been waiting for...When Pretty Girls Make Graves...next entry hah.

sorry your t'wolves lost felipe. he and stubbs ran into pat ewing jr in the c-store. BUT HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO, MEXICAN! have fun all. done done done
