Dumb Blond With A Full Plate

I have a lot on my plate. I have work every week. I have class and homework every week. I have three papers going on right now. As if college isn't already challenging enough here's what's going on beyond that..


Moving To Colorado In August
1. Will my parents sign the car over to me?
2. How will they react?
3. I need to find a job for august in fort collins ahead of time some how


Finding Somewhere to Live in Colorado
1. My friend alyssa in colorado offered to be my roommate next year.
The landlord wouldn't approve my application because my mip
2. Now possibly rooming with both my friends katie and alyssa
3. Landlords are still an issue
4. Everything is up in the air


My M.I.P.
1. Got a bullshit MIP this past fall
2. Had to move back to maryland before community service and alcohol classes were completed
3. Trying to transfer the court paperwork so i can do the classes and service
4. My parents have no idea this ever happened, trying to keep it that way
5. the allotted time to complete the community service and classes has expired
6. Will I be arrested upon returning to colorado?
7. Will i be fined? can I afford a fine?


My classes
1. I'm kinda failing i think


work
1. Apparently I had to reapply to get my old summer job back now it might be too late
2. If its too late i can stay at my current job but my parents will freak out


So dealing with all of this along with the emotions that come with being pulled out of your school and halfway across the country against your will and not getting to say goodbye to any of your friends and having to break up with your boyfriend and start at a new school ...its a little hectic


On the upside.. I'm not pregnant or dying.. that's something to be thankful for.

Far from home, but close to the heart

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned twenty and celebrated with a birthday shot at work. In the morning my dad made eggs benedict, my favorite. After class, on a beautiful 80 degree day, I picked up crabs for dinner. I was a great day. My best friends called me, and so did griffin. It was nice to talk to all of them. Looking at my facebook wall this morning, I can't help but be sad. There's so many friends that I haven't been able to see in months in colorado and in maryland. There's all these friends that I miss so much and they are all over the country and I just want to be able to stand in front of them and hug them hello. I wish my arms stretched across the nation. It's clear, that no matter where I am I'll always be far away. I'll always miss my friends. I just want to be surrounded by those i love, but that's impossible.

Kegstand

October 2009

We were at a CSU home game with some of the pikes and after a few brutal hours of freezing our asses off we decide 'Fuck it, let's go drink!' 

Lindsay, Amanda, Allie, Lindsey

So we grabbed a few of our hallmates and went with the pikes to booby's house. I was really proud of my hallmates for ignoring the rumors about pike and coming along. When we got there it was your standard party, a keg, pikes, and the pike girls. Pike girls are usually girls that have a solid history of dating or sleeping with one or more pike guys, and close friends of said girls. One of these girls pulled me and the lindsay's aside early on and drunkenly warned us "Listen, don't be a cumdumpster! Pick one pike and make sure he's a good one." lol funniest advice to date.

Lindsay doing a kegstand

Here we did our first keg stands. This was not the type of kegstand were you count the seconds it was where you do push ups and drink for as many keg push up as you can. I got 14, and the rest is a blur lol

Party

Fall 2009
This one night we all went out in one big group, us, our friend alyssa, and all her friends. In this group of friends was shawn from my art class, and I was so excited because I had never talked to him but was hardcore crushing on him. One of my friends let my infatuation slip to him and that was it, we were making out all night. We dated for a bit after that but i didnt want a solid relationship, i just wanted to get wild and have fun. I still feel bad b/c he was such a sweetie. Anyhow this is the night we all went to the blacklight party.

Penis' and Jesus

Recently I've kinda reached my limit as far as men go. I'm Beyond tired of men. Working at a bar has its advantages but I am at the point where if another man asks for my number i will drop the motherfucker. Last weekend I worked Friday - monday. A guy asked me out every night, not including the guys on the way to work. I just got back from my date with Mr. Monday (Dan), who is def on the just-friends list. Mr. Friday (Marc) texted me this morning and he's going to come by work tonight. He's the only one from last weekend that I'm actually interested in, sorry nick, dan and whatshisname.


Great news!! I have a roommate for next year!! It's my friend alyssa from freshman year, I'm so excited. It's such a relief to have that done with. Now I just have to keep saving my money and find a job in foco.


Tomorrow is greek easter. its the first time in a few years that my whole family is going celebrate it together and that me and my sister are both home for. I'm so excited. But of course something has to go wrong, my uncle dean is in the hospital again for the first time in a the past 6 months :(


Happy Easter!!
Christos anesti!!

John Stuart Mill

"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinions, it is because they only know their side of the question." 
I chose the life of a satisfied pig who knows nothing of higher pleasures in philosophy class in January and I stand by that choice. Life has become too painful. It is a reoccurring cycle, short bouts of true happiness that interrupt a long and painful existence. Jenny and Chelsea are no longer friends, and the resentment is tormenting to watch. Jordan is a shadow of the person I knew. My parents are becoming more irrational and manic as they age. Everyone is moving farther apart so slowly its barely noticeable. At the same time, they are not going anywhere. I want to get out there, I want to live everywhere, I want to try everything. I'm not satisfied with traveling somewhere for a week and leaving with the people I came with. I want to live places, have friends all over the world. I want to be a part of a million places, not just have them be a part of me. 

Sorry For Partying, Officer

Worked tonight. my friend Country bought me a few(3) double shots after work. After 2 shots, I was was like 'ok enough, i have to drive home country' but he wouldn't take no for an answer lol so i took 3 doubles. Passed by a cop on the way home, not unusual. What WAS unusual was that the cop bagged a U-ey after I passed him. "Oh shit" Lights flashing.. He pulled me over.. I'm drunk. but i wasn't worried. He Asked for license and registration.. you know the drill. Turns out i had a headlight out, and he let me go. 
Pretty much every time I've been pulled over I have gotten away with some sort of DWI charge. 


First time: Drinking Aftershock on the way to high school sr. year and rear-ended another car. Threw the Aftershock into the bushes and cops never suspected. 


Second time: bagged a U-ey, lost in Pennsylvania. Cop pulled me over for suspended tags that my dad didn't tell me about. Was on my way to a party. Smuggled the 3 handles of Absolut out of my trunk w/o them noticing. 


Third time: Drunk and high off my ass. The most fun driving experience I've ever had, Felt like a roller coaster ride. Driving my BMW 325i on country back roads and did two 360's and totaled the car. Under cover cop came by, called a marked cop car, and the two cops helped my high friend and my high&drunk ass push the car into a nearby drive way to avoid a towing fee and then they left. 


Fourth Time: drunk driving home, didn't know I had a headlight out. Pulled over, no ticket, no nothing.

PIKE PASSPORT PARTY

October 2009

Passport is pike's biggest party of the year. Lindsay, Jaime, Lindsey, and I had spent the last few months going to pike on and off. At this point I think jaime had gone a little crazy so we were giving her some space at the time. Lindsay was dating a pike, colton, and they were on and off like you wouldn't believe. Madly in love one day, and barely together the next. Also, I had hung out with griffin a few times and stayed over a few times and then he decide to go awol for a week or two. Me and my naive self weren't happy. Lindsey was dating Jordan, a pike pledge, but they were kinda fickle also, So we partied elsewhere when we could. 
Lindsey was really sick so she dropped Lindsay and I off at the shacks. The shacks isn't just a nickname for the pike frat house, it's a literal definition. The windows are covered by planks, demanding "Let's Make Some Memories" in spray paint. There are pipes exposed, steps missing on the stairs, and so on. 

At Passport, every room of The Shacks is a different country. So when in ireland drink as the irish do, and when in russia drink as the russians do. There was Ireland with carbombs, America with cosmos and domestic beers, Russia with an Ice luge, and others i just don't remember. If you've never been to a party with an ice luge.. step up your game. They pour liquor and a chaser down two separate trails which merge at your mouth. In the middle of the party, baca (short crazy pike) decided it would be fun to spray the fire extinguisher in spain..so that country was done lol. It was a crazy night, we got to hang out with our favorite pikes scott and corbin who were griffins roommates. That was also the night I met tim, one of the best, who i got to know better sophomore year.
Every pike party it was either one of two scenarios
-griffin smooth talked me into staying
-griffin apologizing for not calling me and treating me like the slampeice i had become. Me not buying his bs and calling him out on trying to talk his way out of it. I would end up leaving when the party ended and he always called a few times, in his drunken stupor, trying to get me to come back and stay.
Passport ended in the latter of the two scenarios. I had about 10 missed calls the next morning, and no doubt he didn't remember making any of them. 
This year passport wasn't quite as fly. It was in march and the cops showed up by 10 p.m. Bummer.

Sunday Funday

It's a Sunday Night/ Monday Morning and I . .
1. Made $100
2. Got home early
3. Was allowed for the first time to hang around with the staff and take shots after work!!


Re-Do Exam Today -Fingers crossed!

21+

So to catch up, last week I got to meet Lupe Fiasco at work. It was a hush hush event, so we only found out 30 minutes before hand that we were hosting Lupe and 120 other people. He's was nice, but not that nice which is to be expected. 


Last weekend I had my first bar experience. Being that I'm 19, made it that much more fun. This guy, Aria, is fixated on my friend Ashley. He knew the bouncer and bartender so he was able to get Ashley, my friend Jenn, and I in. We didn't even have to show I.D.'s! It was a lot of fun, especially since Aria paid for ALL our drinks.

We went back this week minus aria. A different bouncer was working, one we didn't know. Ashley talked to him, and he let us in anyway! No I.D.'s again! So crazy.

Lil Miss Drug Dealer

It made my day when my 2 hour jewish history class that i accidentally signed up for was canceled tonight. Went to the library because I have 3 papers to write 2 Tests and a presentation next week, along with regular homework. Started out doing math.. ended up going on an drug run. My dealer is pretty reliable so some friends hit me up to grab some oc. Didn't wake up this morning think that was how my day was gonna go. Anyways the test I have on monday is a redo for one I failed. But with all these assignments and my weekend schedule i don't know how i'm going manage. Tomorrow night I told my friend I'll go to this bar with her and her wannabe-boytoy. I can't possibly say no to being let into a bar and having my drinks paid for. Friday my friend is throwing a rager for me and another girl down in salisbury. Saturday night ima be cashin out at work. Sunday..possibly going to phili for extra credit in jew class and getting back just in time to work until 2am. Come monday.. I'm waking up and bending over. 

Home Is Where The Heart Is

I think it was around Thanksgiving . . I hadn't been home in months and I went back to Maryland for a week . Two days after I had been there, I was ready to go back to colorado . I missed everybody and everything . Of course I was glad to be around my high school friends, but there was nothing else there for me. Everything in Maryland is coming to an end for me and for those around me . . mostly lives . I have a future in Colorado . That week felt like forever . And after it was over, when I went back, I went home. 

Poor Dog

Our second or Third weekend in foco we went to this guy marcus' house. I don't remember how we met this guy at all. All I remember is:
1. They had lots of jungle juice
2. Lindsey slept with someone
3. I ralphed on the dog
4. That was the last time the religious cheerleader went out with us
5. jaime and I had to be carried
For the rest of the year my friends milked the dog puke thing, I mean I didn't meannn to. Also, it's slightly impressive to vom on a moving target. My bad.

Virginia Tech

One of my best friends, Becca, go's to Virginia Tech. Last week she texted me "Come to tech this weekend with Kevin!! Before you answer.. check your facebook!" She and my friend Kevin had posted on my wall:
Becca: you better be coming this weekend..kevin has guns. he will get you.
Becca:and if you dont we will never be friends with you again
Kevin: guns rachael. think about your life before you answer her.
Becca: and everytime we see you we will kick you in the shins and then trip you.
Kevin's facebook status: Tech this weekend to see Rebecca with Rachael or ill murder her.
So I packed up my everclear, a few cute outfits, and drove for 5 hours. I arrived in Blacksburg, Virginia at 9. The pong table was already up. We started taking shots a half hour later. Heaven. I decided to take it slow because I didn't want to make a fool out of myself the first night I met Becca's friends. So I made myself a drink, light on the everclear and went slow on the shots. Twenty or so of their friends came over to party. Becca and I played two game's of pong.. and then I BLACKED. OUT. Now, the only time I've blacked out ever was the night of the Pike Champagne Party/ Lindsey's Birthday Party (stories yet to tell) and even then I remember everything except a few chunks towards the end. That friday night at tech.. I have no recollection of anything past beer pong. By all accounts I didn't embarass myself, in fact, blacked-out Rachael was halarious. I am told I talked about my dentist a lot and told a lot of stories. At one point I was waving around a black and mild, nobody knows where I got that. Also, I talked to Lindsey, who was at Pike, at Taco Bell.  It's so weird blacking out and having another person tell you what you did during several hours. Love iiit.

The next day we woke up had a hang-over day. That evening we got ready, and then several of us went to El Rodeo for dinner. Kevin left after that because he "had a paper due." In reality, he doesn't drink and he doesn't make friends very fast and is just.. whatever. At 7 we started the pre-game and continued it at 9 at Becca's bf's house. Around 11 I was beyond ready to go. We went to the mexico party across the street. It was decked out with streamers, lights, jungle juice, a keg, and a pinata. Half the girls had stayed at the first pg spot and smoked and now one of them was wayyy sick so they were mia. Some creeps lifted up our friends skirt and she was freiking out lol pervs. Later they hung the hot pepper pinata and let some girl wail on it. Her coordination was so bad, she was soo drunk, but when she finally did break it.. condoms and candy fell out. Which partially led to the inspiration behind the next part of the night lol. I'll leave the rest up to your imaginations. I had to work the next day at 6 so I packed up and said my goodbyes to my wild and new vt girls.
