Mudhens Game

Last night was the Toledo Mudhens game and, unfortunately, it was suspended during the bottom of the 4th inning. It's in the middle of April and we got an inch of snow in north eastern Ohio. Although it started snowing while the gang (Sara, Dave, JB, Bryce, Tim, and myself) were tailgating, we stuck it out until the game was finally called off. Although the game was suspended, I did get the championship ring (which really is a large paper weight) I wanted. Woot! Even though it was cold, snowing, and we are all probably going to be sick later this week, I had a lot of fun going to opening night! They were winning 4-2 in the bottom of the 4th and that's where they will be picking up today at 1PM against the Durham Bulls. Hopefully they can pull off a win because my poor Mudhens are 2nd to last in our division with a 3-5 record this season. However, all their games thus far have been on the road so I'm hoping that having a home field advantage will pay off. Hopefully.

Before the game we all went to a restaurant in downtown Toledo called Tony Packo's. This place makes a killing selling the best hot dogs you will ever, EVER eat... And, to top it off -- Their fried pickles are phenomenal. Simply amazing. We were all at Packo's for about 2 hours just drinking, eating, and having fun. Lots of good memories. Davey ordered their largest hot dogs (a little over a foot) and almost ate it all but fell short.

Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARA!!!

Today is my best friend's 22nd birthday!! I'm excited for a fun night since it is also our buddy, Taylor's, 21st. I believe Sara and I are going over to Taylor's to see him for a couple hours and then we're off to the bars to relive her 21st and make it better than ever! I got Sara a GREAT gift, she is going to be so excited.

For Christmas I made Sara a Cleveland Browns blanket and for her birthday I got her tickets to the Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals game in Cleveland. Now, although this gift also benefits me since the Bengals are my home team, it is in Cleveland and I'm pretty sure I might get shot showing up in a Bengals jersey. Nonetheless, she is going to flip when she finds out what I got her!!!

Cheeseburger in Paradise

Remember your carnivorous habits.

Tonight one my dearest friends, Alex, and I are going out for dinner. She is visiting good old Bowling Green during her Spring Break from her big kid job in the glorious city of D.C. She's a 5th grade science teacher and she is amazing at what she does! I'm pretty excited to be seeing her tonight since it is so few and far between that I get the chance too. The last time I saw her was for my birthday and we had a blasty blast.

Whew, so much to do in so little time!

Storm Game

Friday night was quite possibly the best date I've ever been on. Tim and I left for Toledo around 4PM and headed to this Mexican restaurant he really liked called Fritz and Alfredo's. We had about 2 and 1/2 hours to kill so we ordered our food and afterwards sat at the bar until the game was getting ready to start. We got to the game about 20 minutes before it was supposed to start so we headed to the bar inside the stadium and got these HUGE glasses of booze. We actually stayed in the bar for the entire first period and then sat in our seats during the second and most of the third. The game itself was awesome. Storm, of course, beat Dayton and the entire time we were "those fans" that were yelling and cheering as loud as we could. It was a lot of fun to be able to be that goofy and have him be just as goofy with me. After the game was over I was already feeling a bit tipsy since we'd been drinking since 4PM and we had two of those huge glasses (which equals to 3 beers per glass) at the game. We head back to Bowling Green and meet up with Liz and Bryce at Junction. Before Liz and Bryce got there, though, Tim and I were sitting downstairs at the bar having great conversation and just a fun time.

Best. Night. Ever.

Tim and I finalized the Chicago trip plans for Apirl 21st-22nd. The month of April is quite possibly the best month ever. Storm game one weekend, Mudhens game the next, and then Chicago! Could it get any sweeter? Hopefully after the Chicago trip Sara's mom and my mom will be able to make it up to Bowling Green for our much needed Mother/Daughter weekend. Sara and I want to cook our mommies a great dinner with wine and the whole nine yards. Afterwards, Sara and I feel as though it's only right to take our moms to our favorite bar, Quarters. Besides, my mom owes me a birthday shot and a birthday beer so of course I want to drag her to the bars! I know as soon as I got my mom's butt into a bar I'd order up a Bud Light draft, a Screwdriver, and two shots of Quervo. Hell to the yes!

HAPPY EASTER, by the way to everyone. Today I'm going over to Sara's since her family is in town to have lunch with them. They've adopted me for the day since I didn't get to go home this weekend. All right, time for pancakes and eggs.

It's Not Alcoholism, it's Tradition

Meet Liz. We have the best times together at the bar. Last night was probably one of the greatest nights at Quarters. Ever. I worked a close last night and wasn't going to go out at all but one of my buddies that I work with, Pete, convinced me into going so after work I came back home, changed, and met Liz up at Quarters. It was Liz, me, Shane, Time, Pete, Brian, Greg, Dave, and Josh. We all got a huge table and just had a blasty blast. We were telling jokes, constantly laughing, and just having a good time. I didn't really want to be out too late so I only treated myself to an ice cold pitcher of Bud Light and shared a pitcher of Nati Light with Liz. Tim and I ended up leaving around midnight and headed back to his place to watch a couple of movies. I ended up passing out withint 10 minutes of the movie 'cause I had been pretty tired all day. I spent the night over there again (for the 5th night in a row). This morning we headed into town and met up with Bryce at his work at the Corner Grill. We all had lunch and now I'm back home contemplating whether or not I want to sleep more, shower, or clean my room. I'll let you all guess which one I'm going to do first.

I'm getting more and more excited for tomorrow night. Tim is picking me up around 4 and we're heading up to Toledo for dinner and the Storm game! I'm such a dork I was searching the 'net for information on the players, their stats, etc. I guess they are doing pretty good so that's cool. I love going to sporting events so I know I'm going to have a good time!

I'm even MORE excited for next weekend... The Mudhens opening night is going to be the shit. There's a huge group of us going and I know we're all just going to have a good time. Booze, friends, and baseball -- Where can you go wrong with that combination?

Time for this girl to catch up on some sleep.

It's a Sexy Time

Ah, so it finally "happened" with Tim and I. And it was good. It could be better, I'm sure, but it was good. I'm happy with him and it really looks like this is going to go somewhere. Yay for me finally finding a good guy. Him and I are going to a Storm game on Friday and I'm pretty excited because I've never been to a hockey game... He said that I have booze, fights, and hot dogs to look forward to. You just can't go wrong with that combination!

Sara's birthday is this upcoming Tuesday and Dave and I are planning a surprise dinner for her. The whole works -- fancy wine, pasta, cake, great friends. She turns 22 and we're going to top her 21st with a nice dinner and a crazy night at the bars. I can't wait! I think Dave (her boyfriend and my big brother) and I are also going in together to get her a day spa package since she has had a rough semester and has been stressed out lately. There's nothing better than getting pampered on your birthday!

I really have nothing substantial to post about... I think I've decided that rather than taking a semester off I might take one or two classes in the fall. I'd like to make up a lab I failed last fall and I'd like to finish my latin requirement before I graduate. We'll see though, it's all up in the air. I just know that I don't want another year like this one. I've pretty much just thrown a couple thousand down the drain and I feel completely disappointed in myself. Regardless, I learned and I grew and I'm ready to take the steps to fix what I messed up. I just hope it all works out for me in the long run. Wish me luck!

Repeat?

What. The. Fuck. The state of Ohio (more specifically, OSU) officially sucks. It was so grand being with all my friends, our fabulous keg, and watch OSU lose... Again, to the same team. Oh well, it's not like Bowling Green is really getting anywhere in the land of sports, so who am I to be pissed at a school that I don't even attend? Perhaps I'll start liking Michigan now.

HA!

Tonight is my buddy's 21st and since I don't have to work tomorrow until 11, I think I might do what I always do and go out. Amanda and I are going to Quarters at 10ish to watch Tim and Kent play in the pool tourny but I'm suspecting that won't last too long since both of those gentlemen suck. Don't let them know that, though.

In any case, we'll probably head over to Brewsters for free pool since we're all broke (and yet can still afford the booze but not four quarters for pool). Hopefully I don't run into my "good" friend Kevin over there. I was a mumbling idiot last week when I ran into him there. I don't think I've ever hated someone as much as I hate him. He was like a bad sex addiction and all that has happened to him now is he's gotten fat and mean. Thank god I'm over that stage of my life.

That's Amanda. She's my roommate for next year ove at the 'Burbs along with JB and Sara. She's my wingman tonight when we venture over to Quarters. Although I know Tim and Kent will be there I'm kinda hoping us girls can drift away from the watchful eyes of my new boy to people watch. Who am I kidding -- People watch? I just want to flirt.

I'm a horrible person and I'm going straight to hell for my evil ways. Even with a boyfriend I just can't stop LOOKING. And I wonder why I can't keep a serious relationship... I'm just too wild for my own good. Maybe Tim will be the one that stops my evil ways. Who knows.

GO OSU

Song of the Moment: "Hang on Sloopy" Yardbirds

Tonight Liz, Tim, Matt, Sara, Dave, and myself are heading over to Ryan's for some cookin' out, cornhole, booze, and basketball. Life can't get much better, right? I really need OSU to win tonight 'cause if they do then I have a chance of winning 100 bucks. Boy, 100 bucks would be super duper right now.

GO OSU! BEAT FLORIDA

Current Favorites

I'm a bit of a music fanatic. I think I listen to my iTunes more than I sit down and watch TV. With that being said, Sara and I often enjoy making "BB and Sara White Trash Mixes" because let's face it -- We're the white trash of Bowling Green and we love our songs!

I just got off work and since it's a beautiful day today I think I'll grab a good book and go outside and read. It's rare that I can get the opportunity to grab a James Patterson book and sit down and get in a good read. I started one of his newer books, "CROSS" before Spring Break and I just haven't been able to finish it. I love James Patterson and his character, Alex Cross, and I'm determined to finish this book before the end of April, if not sooner! I actually just finished a book that my mum got me a while back called "The Complete Slayer" which was an unofficial guide to every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That show was my all time favorite and over the years I've collected random books and all the seasons. The book I finished, though, was huge and I tried to read at least one or two blurbs on the episodes everyday. I love random fact books, now I feel so much smarter in random pop culture trivia.

Sara is coming over at 3:30 and her and I are going to run to the bank and hang out for the rest of this fantastic Friday. I'm pretty excited that tonight is power hour over at Quarters, it's always a blasty blast. A couple of my work friends said they were going to stop by so I know that tonight will only get better. One of my roommates for next year, JB, said that they were having people over tonight so Sara and I will probably stop by over there if we don't go to the D.Chi party since it's right down the street for Quarters. I miss partying with those boys, so I'll probably make my way over to the Delta Chi shindig.

I feel the urge to read.

So Glamorous

It's been decided -- It's definitely going to be Tim. Last night I skipped out on heading to the bars with Liz and Sara after work and Tim and I went back to his place and watched Fargo. However, my seemingly low-key night got really interesting when there was some domestic violence straight out of cops going on next door. I was pretty shaken up about it all, but Tim and I saw the police handle some crazy shit outside. How is it that a human can hurt another person? Especially someone they are "in love" with? Just doesn't make any sense to me...

I work today 9-2 and then it's off to a couple classes, errands with Sara, and then nap (hopefully). Tonight is power hour at Quarters and it's becoming a tradition for Sara, Liz, and I to have a ladies night and treat ourselves to a couple cheap beers and cheap shots. Should be a fun night.... Tim said he was going to meet up with us later after he is done looking after his nieces and nephews, so we'll see what happens. I have to work tomorrow morning, so nothing too out of control.

I'm actually really excited I met Tim. I'm having all those feelings you get when you first start dating a person... Excited to see him when we make plans, butterflies, the whole nine yards. We had a lot of good conversation last night so I know I'm making the right decision. He's a good and solid guy. Yay for this girl finally finding a good one.

Picture Post, Ca-Razy!

Bar Crawl

Bar crawl with Sara!!! There are many, many more fantastic pictures from Friday and I will soon post them. We wore our "beer googles" out that night! Loves it!

A Blank Expression

I turned in my fabulous paper that I slaved away at for three hours last night today. I wrote about how social relationships between the lower classes, plebeian classes, and elitist of colonial Mexico City controlled the stabilization of the colonial regime over the government's regulations. It was a solid 10 pages long and pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. It was actually a fun paper to write. Why is it that I enjoy writing papers but I can't put that energy into other homework and tests? It just doesn't make any sense. I want to take a class that is purely focused on writing papers. That would be super grand.

I took my one and only class at 11:30 this morning and now I'm just sitting around bored off my ass. I don't have to work today so I'm thinking about finding some buddies to play some cornhole. Sara wants me to go to dollar wells tonight but I'm broke and I really just don't feel like drinking. I might love to party, but I don't drink all the time. Just on the weekends and Wednesday. Wednesay is an odd day, yes, to drink -- But it's ritual and it's FUN. Regardless of the drama and uncomfortable situations I may get myself into (on purpose?), I still love my Wednesdays with my girls.

Time to watch Friends.

Oh, and before I forget -- Download Lumidee's "She's Like the Wind." It's a remix of the great Patrick Swayze's song and it is my new favorite tune.

Almost April!

It's almost April... Finally Mother Nature has graced Bowling Green with some consistent good weather. The sun is out, it's not too hot, not too cold, there are birds singing, college kids playing cornhole, and the best part... us college kids sitting on the many porches along Wooster Street skipping class and drinking booze. This is when you know the school year is almost over. It's fantastic. However, this girl has decided to drown herself in school work and work. I don't regret it. I want to salvage what I can from this semester. I'd like to leave this semester with only one 'F' and the rest Cs. It's going to be hard, probably impossible, but by golly, I'm going to try!

This weekend proved interesting. The bar crawl of Friday turned out great. On Saturday Liz and I were going to go to Quarters for a couple of pitchers and then head over to a D Chi party (I haven't seen those boys in weeks!), but instead something rare happened... Liz and I came alone around 9PM and booked it to the bar to get a seat before it started getting busier... We were sitting at the far end of the bar, closest to the door and pool tables and we immediately ordered a pitcher of Bud Light and two shots of Quervo. You have to start the night off right! As we're getting ready to take our fabulous shots of Q, I notice two guys that I've never seen at the bar before (come on, I'm a regular there). We take our shots and I mention it to Liz; I didn't want to be conceited by any means, but those young men were staring. She said she noticed it too and we just kept an eye out to see if we were crazy or if they were. Well we play pool, have another pitcher, and the gentlemen move to another pool table to play some games. Liz and I are sitting at the bar and I bust the boys pointing and whispering. Liz looks at me and says, "I bet they are going to buy us a drink." I, being the outgoing and stupid person I am, decide to one-up them and purchase a shot for them first. I buy four Cherry Bombs and walk over there with Liz. I sit the shots down and tell them they looked thirsty and they deserved a shot. From then it was history -- We partied with the guys all night and they ended up being really fucking kick ass. Tim, 29, and I hit it off right away and he told me that on Wednesday him and Bryce, 26 (who hit it off with Liz), are going to meet us ladies at Quarters for our Wednesday night ritual. Now, although I'm very excited, I'm also very nervous. Like last week I'll have both old and new Mike there, Justin (who has the hots for me, but I keep turning down), AND Tim (who was flirting with me all night). This hussy is going to have a hard time handling this interesting situation.

Hope it plays out well!!

Time to drown myself in a paper due tomorrow. Yay for me.

Wowzers

I do believe that it is not a good idea to go on a bar crawl with all your best friends the night before you have to work 8+ hours. Not a good idea at all. Although I might be a little hungover and have found stamp markings in places I don't recall being stamped, it was surely a good night!!!

I actually ran into my "almost" boyfriend's roommate. He told me that Mike (new) really likes me! Yay! I guess he talks about me when I'm not there, and it's good things -- Not bad. That's always positive to hear. I had fun with all of Chris' friends last night after all my friends disappeared. We all got drunk and danced and had some fun. We all went to Taco Bell and it was crazy packed. I waited like 45 minutes for my food. I was not a happy girl... When you are wasted, tired, and hungry... It's not a good combination. I do believe I also saw Mike (old) at Uptown but I ignored him the whole time. I could NOT let my boy's roommate see me flirting with another guy -- I had to be on my best behavior because he would tell on me in a heart beat if it looked like I would hurt the poor kid.

I miss him, actually... We got in a pretty big fight on Wednesday because he was mad that I "wasn't paying enough attention" to him at the bar. I thought it was pretty childish and woman of him and when I told him that (hey, I was drunk), he wasn't too happy with me. We still haven't actually sat downt o talk about what we are or about Wednesday night... He's in Indiana this weekend for National Guard so I guess we'll just have to wait until Sunday to talk about things... I'm not really sure how I'm going to bring it up or what I'm going to say, but I believe I need to tell him about old Mike. Not everything, just that I'm just ending this complicated relationship and I'm really stuck in the middle of a rock and a hard place.

We'll see what happens.

I Like to Move it, Move it

This week has gone by terribly slow. It's been Spring Break up here but, unfortunately, I did not get a Spring Break... I got to work 40 hours this week. I should have also taken the time to look for a second job since I'm completely broke, but I was just too lazy. And it snowed. I blame the snow. I'm actually kind of excited for today -- My best friend, Sara, is coming back from Vegas today. I really wanted to hit up the bars tonight but I don't think I'll be able to get to the bank today so I'm still broke. Looks like it'll be parties for the ladies tonight. Still, it'll be good to have her back... I've missed her! Last night JB and I went over to his buddy, Tristan's, house. I didn't really like anyone there. A friend from work, though, showed up so I was happy I knew someone. I'm usually a pretty outgoing person, but there was one of those girls there that thought since she was just soooo pretty everything should be handed to her. I was getting rather annoyed. Stupid girls. When I got home around 1:30AM Kent had sent me some IMs saying that my "crush" had come over to his place to drink. I'm kind of mad I missed the opportunity to drink with Kent and Matt (my crush), but what can you do. Hopefully I can get out some good gossip from Kennels. We'll see.

I'm really not looking forward for today (work wise). I work open to close, essentially; 11-7. I also work with Mike from 5-7 -- Peachy. I have really, finally, ended it. I'm smarter than what I've made myself seem and he just isn't worth what I'm putting into this crazy relationship. I also finally told a couple girls from work (I wanted to keep it a secret)... They also agree with me that it is good that I end it. It was kind of hard to hide it from them when I showed up with Henry and Chris attached to my neck. That bastard.

I also have a long shift tomorrow -- 10-3 and then 5-9. That doesn't seem so bad with the 2 hour break, but it's still a nine hour day. We also have a huge order to prepare on Saturday which probably means that the bosses will make an appearance. Boy, am I excited. I hope these friends of mine on my neck decide to disppear before then. I was getting nothing but hell at work for them. I guess it's my own fault, though.

Ugh, someone go to work for me.

Party Hard

Meet Kent.


Now, in Kent's defense -- He really is a good guy, and one of my dearest and oldest friends. However, why is it necessary to go bonkers after a night of drinking? Just because we drink together quite often does not entitle you to confess your love for me, Sara, Kara, and all the other female friends you have. It's rather annoying.

I'm blowing off steam here, and I'm being kind of bitchy, but I have a right. I have to deal with this drama every time we drink. It's annoying (repeat).

Last night, as usual, we all head to Quarters for some pool, booze, and silver strike. I was having quite a splendid time and I was pretty hammered by the end of the night. While we were at the bar everything was peachy. There was no weirdness, nothing. We get back to Sara's apartment (since I'm crashing here) and it's like a trigger went off and he kept asking to sleep with me on the futon. I kindly told him no (four times), and to sleep on the other futon. Well, apparently, he was having none of that and left.

I would have stopped him from drunk driving but the room was spinning and instead of running to the door to stop him I yelled, "oh shit," and ran to the bathroom on the other end of the apartment.

Why are boys just so weird?

Now, I'm huuuuungova' and off to walk to work in the magical four inches of snow that we go last night. Fuck you, Mother Nature. She's a bitch, ain't she? I better be working with some sweet people today because I don't think I can handle the bosses.
