flashbacks

2 days later I am sitting here watching Grey's anatomy season 1 and it's the episode where the interns all throw a party and everyone cuts lose and gets really drunk and then all of a sudden midway through this episode i had a flashback! Ozan's girlfriend threw a party and there were jello shots. I gave them my special recipe of making the jello shots with vodka and sprite instead of water wuch that you have a nice little fiz. Thank you Miami, my soph/junior year roommate with whom i co-created the recipe. Ok but the point is, the point is....hmm let me just peice the night together wth you all now:

9:45 - went to wendy's house to throw a surprise "farewell" party for sigaporean jen.

10:00 - started drinking gigantic triple sized bottle of wine that Hugo had purchased at costco = good value

10:30 - still waiting in the dark for jen to "surprise" show up. open up second bottle of gigantic "good value" wine

11:15 - Jen finally rolls in. Me = officially drunk.

11:30 - walk 2 houses over to go to some philosophy party. Hugo decides that he and I should each pick philosophers and walk into the house arguing pro-their point of view. He chooses Kant (btw none of actually knew what Kant's argument was. damn you IHUM!). I decided I would argue for Alexi DeToqueville so I just threw in a lot of words about democracy and stuff. It was kind of awesome and we sort of caused a scene as we walked in. Truth is though, we were both hella drunk so our "scene" could have just been really sad and not at all entertaining. I was entertained though, so that was enough.

11:45 - this was NOT a good grad school party. we decided to blow this pop stand and finally walk to Minayo's jello shot party. We begin walking the 10 minute walk to her house

11:50 - I lose feeling in my fingers. Note to self: buy thicker gloves or double up with some isotoners underneath.

11:55 - arrive at party. lots of "woooo!!!" and high fives. Upon arrival we all down 2 jello shots.

12:00 - here is where the night starts to fuzz up so I'm just going to free thought the rest of this. I think there was another shot somewhere in there. There were also 2 very vodka heavy vodka tonics. I did some dancing, I cockblocked drew as this really drunk silly ho tried hitting on him. Drew is in a long distance engagement so for the sake of his woman i intervened at the request of Fernando. We tlaked SOOOOO MUCH SHIT! Oh and then the silly ho fell on my knee caps later in the night on her head. The sad part about this was that everyone laughed and instead of helping her came to me and said "are your knees ok." haha. silly ho!! This morning I was doing laundry and I had this flashback to smelling someone's shirt all night long and then i remembered! Me and Fernando kept sniffing Drew's shirt because it smelled like downey but it was like the most intense downey smell EVER. it was so nice.

I have little mini flashbacks of the rest of the night which included more dancing (probably highly uncoordinated). Oh god flashback, taking what fernando and I kept calling "futon shots!" This is not alcoholic but consisted of us doing dumb gangsta poses on the futon. thus "futon shots!!" Nishi and I walked home and talked about how awkward this guy Scott was. the funny part of this was that Scott was walking WITH US! ha oh god. I also have a vague recollection of pulling an apple out of my purse (i guess i had stuffed it in there for just an occasion. I'm fucking brilliant sometimes) and then after eating half of it dropping it because i lost feeling in my fingers from the cold.

the only thing i remember next is waking up and thinking...oh shit let me look at my outgoing calls and texts. There was some very mooshy text to david, and then 2 short calls. So I talked to david....hmmm. In the morning he called me with that wierd "hey" tone like "hey my drunk girlfriend, how are you feeling you lush." it was a tone. Anyways apparnetly i had been really mean and beligerant and I was kind of in the doghouse for the rest of the day because drunkenness is no excuse for being mean.

So let's go full circle. I was watching grey's anatomy the episode where the surgical interns all throw a party and get hella drunk and i could relate...really really relate.
