April 7th


Ok, Onward ho!  

Moving on,

This was a good weekend that had the usual potential to be a great weekend. Coming off of a fulfilling Thursday, I was hopeful that this past weekend would be one of my  best yet. In some respects it was, but the mediocre nature of Saturday kept it from reaching true ascension. Friday, however, deserves special mention. You know that perfect level of intoxication? Where edges are blurred, and faces are softened, and conversation flows more smoothly than the crystal palace you chugged just minutes earlier. Well I was there. Friday is a decadent blur. I remember being on the 5th floor of main pretty sharply, but everything goes so wonderfully fuzzy as I made my way to the TH's. It was an E block party, I tend to like those parties, so I was pumped from the get go. It didn't hurt that I was a star flip-cup player, and that I was surrounded by friends and casual acquaintances. highlights of the night include smoking a shit ton of cigarettes, hanging on a friend's ex-boyfriend's neck and talking about god knows what, dominating at pong, vomiting in the sink, and waking up the next morning not entirely sure how I made it fully clothed and uninjured back to my bed. 

After the gentle reprieve of the weekend, I was thrust back into the mix of class, homework, and, you guessed it, procrastination. I actually just paused my typing to both pretend to pay attention to class, and to contemplate my procrastinatory plans for the week.

Speaking of things planned this week, first and foremost in my mind is the Drag Show!!! Now, I will definitely have a post with all the extravagant detail next Tuesday, but for now I'm keeping Mum so as not to ruin the impact of drag-excellence. Without giving anything away, I am hugely excited and spent 3 hours, and $200 shopping for all the accouterments, sparkle, and pizazz of a female impersonator. I then spent another few hours assembling, crafting, and honing my inner RuPaul. In the process of preparation I attempted to dye my wig red with some viscous ass red dye from Hot Topic. It looked like congealed menstrual blood. Which was awesome, considering Menstrual blood is one of my favorite things in the world. Again, 100% serious. The dyeing process inevitably resulted in some staining, and that is where this story, well it's really more of a rant, really begins. 

So, I step out of the elevator, fresh from victory at trivia night, and to my surprise and dismay I am instantly accosted by unfittingly disturbed reactions to the mild pink stains coating the basin of the middle sink in our bathroom. Some of my hall mates were truly horrified that the porcelain surface of a sink which they Never make actual physical contact with had changed color. One particular individual was riding so high on her horse that I was truly concerned about what could happen to her if she were to fall. A cold greeting followed by a reminder that I really should clean up my mess was all I needed to be thoroughly repulsed and adequately angered. My main beef comes from the innocuous nature of the problem. Nothing about the stain would affect the quality of life of any individual who came across it. Furthermore, the initially rich magenta, in the course of a few hours, had faded to a dusty rose, and would clearly dissipate due to natural wear and tear. The silliness of people truly astounds me. I find it Anthropologically interesting that in our culture, people are so eager to find something to be upset about. ( I guess I could include myself in this assessment, as I love to find things to be upset about so that I can write about them in my blog) I find nothing more repulsive than someone trying to take the moral high ground over an issue entirely unrelated to morality. ugh. This episode concluded with the sinks being pristine and white by the time I woke up this morning thanks to our wonderful and adequately appreciated maintenance staff. Yet another real world example of how being a pushy nosey self important bitch who can't mind their own business is useless and trite. 

Anna just drew this sick ass doodle of an eyes with dolphins circling the pupil. You should totally check it out! Bitch is sick at art!

Ack! I' out of time! See y'all on Thursday
