"I can't think of anything worse after a night of drinking that waking up next to someone and not being able to remember their name, or how you met, or why they're dead." -Laura KightlingerLong time since I last wrote...St. Patrick's day, for god's sake (a.k.a. the last day of classes). After that work and social life just bubbled over and I had zero time. I'm wondering if I shoudl quit this diary, seeing as no time. Well, we'll see. I'll try reconstructing events, but it'll be difficult.
Wednesday night/Thursday morning I went off to Rumsey with Remington. I don't know if I've ever explained Rumsey in here- it's where his house is. Cute house, nice by-a-river location (albeit pest-infested), but waaaaay in the boonies. Rumsey is the name of the "town" he lives in. Apparently "town" consists of two buildings. That I've seen, anyway. We spent most of our time there shivering (NO heat). Went back to town, where I pretended to do work, but instead we were sending each other mushy internet cards.
Friday night I went to Sudwerk with Blaise and Sarah, Remington said he'd meet everyone there. Very affectionate and all there- which made me happy. I do wonder about him- "I missed you! It's been all day!"- if he does that with Zoe or not. I don't think so, exactly- I obliquely asked her about him saying he misses her and she said "sometimes."
Saturday: Took my final (B+), then came home and read up on topics for my science paper all afternoon. Zoe and Remington came online around 1ish to announce she'd changed her mind and then would be driving to the party now from SC. Yay!
Went to lunch with Sarah and Mike at Jack in the Crack, which was fun. Geez, I haven't seen/talked to anyone NOT on IRC much in ages. I was trying to convince him to go on IRC, but so far no dice. I feel bad about that, like I'm neglecting everyone else...like when I've stopped talking to other friends. Makes me wonder what else I'll lose because I don't see them.
The party: It was at the house we're thinking of getting- cute enough, although it's more of a 3 bed than a 4 as advertised- one room has no door and the walls are kinda thin. So we may get the price knocked down. Entertaining enough party, but things REALLY got exciting once Sarah and Remington and Zoe showed up. Sarah, to put it bluntly, got drunk off her ass. Bad. To the point of screaming repeatedly and loudly to everyone, "I wanna fuck Blaise!" Problem was, she also screwed up and put other names in from time to time- Remington, Chris (poor Chris- but he seemed to take it in stride), Leng. She kept asking Remington how to get Blaise- his advice was to act less drunk, but she was waaaaaaaaay beyond that capability. She even followed Blaise into the bathroom and molested him- he was quite shocked. He eventually took her home. (No, she did not get anywhere. He told me later she was blabbing really icky personal details about Hardeep- which I won't share. Poor Blaise. But he still likes her- said he'd kick Hardeep's ass if he hurt her again.)
Meanwhile, Remington and Zoe and I were causing our own public spectacles of group cuddling and the like. Plus, Remington decided (he was also quite drunk) that right there would be a good time to discuss who's sleeping where on Tuesday night. Zoe was getting into town Tuesday night now instead of Wednesday night, and we had been pondering just having everyone PLATONICALLY sleep together (no, no orgies). He did this right in front of Jessica, who was very uncomfortable. Poor Jessica. Well, I guess she was ok with it though- she's still talking to us. But in general we were all cuddly in front of everyone- Zoe thought we must be flipping everyone out- but I dunno, Sarah's drinking seemed more scandalous somehow.
After leaving the party we went off to Oxford Circle Park to discuss Tuesday more privately. Basically the arranged details were no orgies, everyone sleeps clothed, although group torture of Remington (tickle wars) is acceptable. This would basically be on the occasions when everyone's here at the same time, like at a Rumsey party. Also got into other details, like getting him to agree to go visit Melissa, and what to do about families- hers know, his don't (although maybe he'll tell his dad), mine are to NEVER know, no exceptions. And that everyone is limited to 2 SO's, max. Meaning yes, Remington can't date anyone new seriously (phew). Or as he put it to me, that i'm practically in a committed relationship. Zoe isn't really seeing her other boyfriend anymore, I think, but I think she'd like to add another guy.
Anyway, it all worked out pleasantly.
