Pete's Log: wow...

Entry #706, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)
so I woke up this morning still wearing my contacts. My head really hurt and my mouth tasted like puke. Last night must've been fun.

So yesterday was the last day of classes for the semester. Yay. Classes are done. Did some random wandering around fitz with Tony and Branden, witnessed the phenomenon that is "Bawlz" (or however it's spelled). Then a cse seminar about some distributed shared memory system. I wasn't very impressed. But I got to witness four faculty members lose the battle to not fall asleep. I had some interesting thoughts during the lecture tho about life in general. Will need to continue those thoughts sometime when my head doesn't hurt.

Then I went to lafortune with Perk and Cdawg. That was fun. Perk had invited me to the dining hall, but since I could buy both of us dinner at lafortune for less than dinner at the dining hall would cost, I suggested that instead. And food at lafortune ended up tasting better, too, I'm sure.

Then headed home for a brief period. Then an NDLUG meeting. It was interesting. A bunch of OIT folk showed up. Some good discussion. It'll be interesting to see where this OIT support for linux idea goes.

Then head to Andrew Sordi's room in Keenan with Brian, George, Branden, and Tony. Much fun was had there. They were having a "yay! classes are over!" sort of event. I drank some interesting sorts of beverages, they only had hard alcohol, something I generally avoid. So for a while I chatted and drank. I was introduced to a beverage called a breathalizer that was served in a tall shotglass. Also drank some of a martini and a vodka martini. I think I was the only one present who had had a martini before. They used sweet vermouth, which made for an interesting taste... I don't remember what else I drank. Then I got myself involved in a drinking game, another uncommon occurence for me. It was called "fuck you" and was quite entertaining. Played this with Joe Taylor, Nicole Lopresto, Sordi, and two characters named Mark and Laura that I met just then. Tony joined us for a second round. I didn't do very well, I ended up drinking a lot during this affair. When I had to refill my glass I poured far more jack into my glass than I intended to. But Andy and I had the whole Keenan connection going on so we tried to help each other out when others tried to fuck us. Cuz Keenan rocks. So by the time we left this gathering I was definitely in trouble. Our next stop was Senior Bar. I don't remember anything after leaving Keenan, so that's about where this log entry is gonna have to end. But apparently I finished the night off by puking a couple times. Which puts to end the trend that I will only get sick drinking if Jeff Squyres is around. But then again, there was hard alcohol involved here... so I guess Jeff is the only person who can get me sick from drinking beer. All in all a good night, which I definitely needed. Major thanks to Andy and all involved in the event in Keenan, and major thanks to Brian for dealing with my drunk ass and getting me home.
