yellow snot, not yellow snow

i'm sick.
i haven't had a cold in months. i fought the beginnings of one off last month, didn't let it manifest itself into a full blown cold. but now, i must have let my guard down. probably when i got drunk twice in three days.

last friday, eric and sarah and i and my friend jason went to Uncle Julio's for dinner. then eric, sarah and i proceeded to get drunk at our apartment. jeremy also came over. more drunkenness and also some snazzy photobooth pictures.
like these




so that was fun.

Saturday, i wasnt too hung over actually. that night, I went to Will's. We watched Sopranos. He didnt have to work on sunday so we got to sleep in. Then we went on a quest for a currency exhange to get 7 day cta passes. We ate at this amazing Austrian Bakery. i had a turkey panini that was out of this world. it had dusseldorf mustard AND pesto! yum. and i got two raspberry danishes. i love food. in my mind i weigh 600lbs.

then sunday night, Will had band practice, so sarah and i went to this party in Evanston.
it was all lesbians....and then myself.
we played a game called "slap the bag" which neither of us had ever heard before. you open a box of Franzia, take out the bag of wine, and try to slap it out of people's hands. it was interesting. our host got way drunk before we even showed up, so one of her friends took us back to their apartment and then was nice enough to drive us all the way home.
to thank her, we had her over the next night and cooked her spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread. her and sarah hit it off which is good but i know sarah doesnt want to go directly into another relationship. thats good. i hope she sticks to that.

tuesday is when i fully felt sick. Will came over and brought me chicken soup and tea with lemon and honey he'd been saving. he cooked the soup and tea for me. we watched Tron for the first time together. i love him. he's a good boyfriend. we didnt even do it that night. i also was on the rag. so period PLUS nasty cold = no sexin'. its a pretty gross combo. haha but usually he is the one who wants nights together where we DONT do it so that we can just enjoy being together, not just rely on the physical part of the relationship. did i mention how much i love this boy? two years, coming soon, on feb 11.

heatless, not heartless

we had no heat for the past 24 hours.
discovered this for sure last night around 1030PM.
problem is now solved at 6:15 PM. the ignition thing was shot, so we had a new one installed by the building's maintenance guy, Rey Reyes. haha his name is funny. reminds me of a spanish teacher at my high school named Gus Gusman. too funny. anyway, it just sucks cause my whole day was spent FREEZING and waiting for this repair man to show up. at first he told us 1pm. then 330 rolls around he said he'd be here at 4. then finally showed up around 445. ugh. i was supposed to go help Caitlin with her speech project thing. i really wanted to be in her Concert Etiquette (examples of what NOT to do) videos. sigh.

just heard from Shannon about an hour ago. she had her heart surgery this morning. she was all doped up, but still coherent enough for conversation. i was really worried about her. so much shit has been going on health wise for her lately. the brain tumor / radiation therapy. now this heart valve thing. all within the past year. i'm so glad she pulled through. i guess in order to repair the problem, the doctors had to stop her heart, and apparently had trouble restarting it! frightening.

my cousin wrote a new song. its called "Losin'" and its really good and i've listened to it like 10 times today. its not online yet otherwise i'd post a link here. but be on the lookout for a guy named Matt Klein someday.
