You could be MY Black Kate Moss tonight!

Who wants to be MY black Kate Moss tonight?
Current mood: hopeful

New job.
Saki.
The Walk.
Grad school options.

I did just finish my 5 weeks of training in Indy for Verizon Wireless. 5 weeks of blissful driving every day some weeks. I'm pretty pumped about the job. Good company, I know people who work there and so on, so forth.
I was blasted in the eye by.........a Hibachi chef and a squirt bottle of saki!!!! (How'd you think that sentence was going to finish?) Some friends and I went to the new Hibachi eatery here in the Haute a few weeks ago. I concede to let him fill my mouth with saki from a couple feet away. Figuring he would stop, and also my mouth was filled to liquid capacity because I could feel my gag reflex coming on, I shut my mouth. He proceeded to keep squeezing the bottle, and I took it right in the eye. How bad it burned was equaled by swallowing a mouthful of Saki. Was I shocked that unsweetened iced tea rinses away alcohol? I couldn't see that it wasn't water, but hey, it worked.
Homecoming was the past weekend, and I had a blast. I'd say it was the most fun and happiest I've been in about a year and a half (pinning down that the last time I was as happy, was hanging out with the same people at Wims all the time).
Recap Thursday:
930pm: Meet up with people at TK's Sports Bar.
1100pm: Head to Bally. Nothing else really exciting.
Friday:
900pm: Get off work.
905pm: Melissa, Heather, and Aaron arrive at my apt. The girls go to a party, Aaron and I go to Stables as usual for drinks.
1100pm: Aaron and I head over to Bally which is already pretty packed. See people. Planning on picking up the girls plus one. Stay for three hours and ruin any plans of healthy sleep.
1230am: Standing by stage when Dave and Ray are playing, not worried about how much they suck and that I'll never get that hearing back, making Willa mad that I won't take her and the fellow ZTA's to Papa johns to get pizza. C'mon, in the Danger Ranger? I think not.
02:00am: See fellow West Hautians, Tracy and Justin, and numerous other people that I remember conversation with, but not what.
Sat recap:
0730am: Woken up by Aaron. I jump out of bed in a state of anger, remembering him waking me up in the RV. I can't go back to sleep. We should've cuddled, but I'm over it.
0930am: I meet up with Garza, Terance, Sam, and Boston at Bally. My brother is asleep somewhere. We make an uncouth bet that involves....nevermind. I was picked to win it. I didn't.
1000am: We walk to Terminal. Terance runs across the street and I yell, "Lumber quickly!" He is 6'8. Terminal is packed. We carve out a spot, become quickly hot, head to Wims.
1030am: Sam cursing loudly, scarring children outside for the parade; Mbudi smashing empty bottles on the floor, some guy cracks his head wide open and bleeding on the tile floor and Shaw promptly states, "I guess tile floor wasn't such a great idea." The darkness creeps up on me. I laugh. It starts.
1100am: Brother Mike meets us at Verve. He walks in and yells to me, "Dude, there's a mexican behind you." Garza might've slapped him. Garza is a mexi-can, not a mexi-can't.
1130am: Copper Bar. "AWKWARD!"
1200pm: I break away and meet up with Aaron and crew at Sonkas. Smoke a few Kools relishing the fact I could have someone killed in prison for the three I inhaled, feel like a 45 year old man as I drink a Coors Light, then we take off for the tent.
1245pm-430pm: 4th Quarter tent. WW2 jokes. See roommate. She asks me how can she be as cool as me. I answer, "Time." She snaps a photo (which isn't on Myspace or facebook yet!!!!) I try to get my brother to have a beer. Marcus hugs me. I feel warm. We head to Tent City. We run around to the ZTA and EK tents, hoping solid food is left. Willa plays with goddaughter in grass. Rutherford realizes I'm still better at cards than him, and I could quite possibly take him down in a fight, Ruth keeps making out with a guy in a mohawk, Jonesey meets up with us, I want Taco Casita. We walk back to Casita, someone drops Willa off, Brent and Jennifer meet us, Aaron and I put down way too much food, we start walking back, we stop to wait on Shaw, Nazi sled rolls by, I win, Willa grabs taxi to TK's, Shaw picks us up in his Audi, we're so cramped I have to hold Heather like she's an infant (though I hear she likes that anyway), I let them in the apt and then drive to TK's, everyone's supposed to be mad at me, they can't be, Chris makes me a vodka sprite and my Walk ends there.
0500p: Head back to my apt for nap. Nap turns into next day.
Sunday recap:
In general morning/afternoon: Wake up for the third stay smelling, carry on Walk tradition of wearing same jeans three days in a row (and I still gather your jealousy), eat three lunches, go to parents to change oil.
0500pm: Meet Shaw to have TWO beers at Bally because it's so nice out. TWO turns into a 50$ tab just for me out of my pocket. Boston, Sam, TA, Lockard, Carter, Terminal Crew, Willa and ZTA's, then Courtney show up. Nate proceeds to smack my ass, I'm sure I make uncouth comments to everyone, I wake up the next morning fearing I left my phone. I didn't.
Monday:
1100am: Drive to Indy airport.
Whew. That's the recap of the weekend. Be jealous if you weren't hanging out with me.

My fingers hurt so I'm going to say I'm looking at different grad schools some being Southern Illinois, Penn State, IU, Colorado State, and ASU. I'm also looking to win the Powerball. Just saying.
