One of the Best Weekends of my Life

Friday, I didn't eat dinner. So, at 9:30, I met with Mike at the Hub and we bugged Erka. While eating, Gina calls. She's on her way over, to my surprise, and she's going to be spending the night. She gets there, and George is there too, and we all leave the Hub with blue dots on our foreheads (except for Mike) because G-Love felt compelled to give us blue dots. We then played George's Wii to the late hours of the night, Gina and I came back to my room, talked a bit, then fell asleep.

Saturday rolls around. Gina's already up and on my computer when I wake up at 1:30. Out of nowhere, she says we should go to IU and visit Ray. I say why not? So, we call Ray, he says awesome, we pack, and we're on our way. We got lost a couple times, but we found our way out of the creepy forested country roads that we thought was 231.

When we finally get to IU at 9, Ray says we should go for a tour to pass time. So we do. We walk around campus and downtown Bloomington for three hours, ending up at the Cinematic for some Atomic Age Theater. Basically, it's live Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was one of the funniest and most unique experiences ever. After smoking intermission, Dr. Calamari and Death Pimp (two of the characters making fun of the movie, "The Day Time Ended." I never heard "Death Pimp's" real character name, but that's what the crowd called him all night) asked random questions. I answered when the world was going to end according to the Mayan calendar and got a really bad anime movie. I love it :) Edit: Death Pimp's actual character name is Baron Mardi. Here's the Atomic Age website.

We then go walking around for a while longer, get some tacos at Qdoba, then go back to Collins (Ray's dorm) at around 2:30 am. I was stupid and didn't bring any pajamas, so Gina let me borrow her boxer shorts and I was going to wear my jacket for my top. I change in the bathroom and come out to Gina, Ray, and some guy I didn't know named Josh. Gina gives me an extra t-shirt of hers saying she forgot she had packed it and goes into the bathroom. Being too lazy and impatient to wait to change in the bathroom, I just informed Ray and Josh that I was going to change shirts right there in the hall/lobby dealy. Josh said it was Collins, so it wasn't like it mattered (Collins is one of the predominantly homosexual dorms at IU). It just added another excuse, and I changed right there.

So Ray, Gina, Josh, and I go into the lounge and are just talking and doing tarot readings when Josh yells at someone walking by in the lobby. In comes a jumping ball of energy named Sylvia. Very talkative, very funny girl who is awesome. She ended up hanging out with us almost the rest of the time we were in the lounge that night. A few more people joined and left us, and their names were (I think) Aaron, Nick, Austin, Renee, and Jordan. Gina decided she was going to change shirts there in the lounge and had the same "Collins is predominantly gay" excuse.

So, until 7:30 am, we're doing tarot readings, talking, making fun of each other, and having a massaging orgy. Only Gina, Ray, Josh, and I are left. We were starting to get sleepy, and Gina and I had nowhere to sleep. So, we figured we'd sleep in the lounge. Gina's first to go to bed on a couch. I'm still up, giggling at every little thing because I get very punchy when I'm tired. I finally find a couch to lie down on, Ray does some more tarot for me, I traded massages with Josh (best massage EVER!) and zonked out.

Throughout the night, I tossed and turned a lot. Then, when morning (I'm not quite sure when that was) came around, the janitor was in the lounge with the vacuum cleaner. Gina and I tried to sleep through that, even through the vacuum kept hitting my couch *grumble*. Ray finally wakes us up with a call. So we go up to his room. There's his roommate's boyfriend (his name was Victor) on the floor on his laptop and Ray in his bed. Gina and I pop a squat on the floor and Ray's roommate, James, comes in. He's freaking awesome! Gina and I then go to work with Ray and James at a bank downtown where they clean. Gina and I just sat around and watched TV while they worked. Ray, Gina, and I then went to the Trojan Horse, an amazing Greek restaurant. Delicious gyros. We then go to three hippie stores, got some tarot cards, ran into James and Victor on the way back to Collins, then Gina and I start our way home.

On the way back, we stop at Gina's sister's (Kyra) apartment. It's very nice. Her roommates/friends were really cool too. We hit the road again, and I'm asleep until we're back in Lafayette. Gina and I order pizza, trying to wait out the rain (didn't work), watch my prize movie from Atomic H Theater and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. She then drops me off at St. Joe, and I have to read for my classes tomorrow now.

IU = awesome. I think I'm going to go there for my masters and/or doctorate.

Oh, and while at Trojan Horse, Ray informed Gina and I that there weren't any gay people out of the group we changed in front of......we kept asking "Really?!?" for about 15 minutes. I'm still shocked and blushing.








Cold hard bitch, you're just a kiss on the lips.
