Luckyfest comes to town, craziness ensues

Luckyfest 2006 came and went this past weekend. i'm going to recount the few things i remember from saturday morning/afternoon:

1. we had all our friends over on saturday morning to start drinking at 11 am. NOT a good idea, as it turned out.
2. got to park tavern at 2 pm.
3. blacked out at 3 pm.
4. started remembering things again around 6 pm.
5. carrie fell into many prickly bushes after, well, just standing.
6. one of our friends had to be taken home at 6 pm. she peed my bed that night.
7. everyone became separated at some point, and all went their respective ways by 9 pm. surprised we made it that long.
8. woke up at 4 am with 5 voicemails from said friend telling me she had peed my bed.
9. spent all day yesterday in my bed (sheets washed and feather mattress to the dry cleaners)
10. spent the majority of today trying to piece together what the hell happened to us, and thanking god that festival season 2006 is indeed over.

i need to grow the f up.

Spring Break, part deux

kristen's most recent post has got me thinking about my past spring breaks, and for some reason, even though i've been graduated from college for almost 4 years now, i have never stopped going on spring break. is that weird? here, my account of my spring breaks of the past, Ironically, they have evolved into something more....

1. freshman year - went home. got incredibly drunk with friends who never went off to college, or ones who were still in high school. i was pledging that semester, i hadn't drank of my own free will in over 6 weeks.
2. sophomore year - went home and visited my boyfriend at ohio state. one week later, i found out he cheated on me. spring break has a lot of things to improve.
3. junior year - road tripped it to ft. lauderdale with the dogs. we nicknamed our group of 13 the "roll dogs" sophomore year. we couldn't have been cooler if we tried. the weather was awful. it rained almost every day. however, in one week's time, we manged to drink too much, celebrate 2 21st birthdays, loose purses and all earthly belongings, witness a stabbing, and return to college almost normal. oh, yeah, our friend megan had sex in the pool with a fellow spring breaker. we stayed out of that pool for the rest of the week. if ever at the sheraton on A1A, i recommend not going into the pool.
4. senior year - spring break 2002. we showed people that it was in fact 2002, by holding up our first two fingers as the "2's", while our boobs represented the "0's". flew to south padre island. had a blast. weather sucked again. so bad, that we actually went tanning on spring break. theme song for this spring break was enrique iglesia's "escape." stellar.
5. 1st year out of school - actually, i did nothing this year. felt somewhat normal.
6. 2nd year out of school - def. made up for not doing anything last year. went on 2 spring breaks this year. went to hilton head with some of the dogs (we don't call ourselves that anymore, thank god. just a way to refer who i'm talking about.) dana and i drove there, screaming "woo hoo, spring break 2004" the entire car trip down. got crazier than we did in college. woke up in a twin bed with dana, even though there were empty beds in the house. guess we like to sleep together when we're away from home. week after this debaucherous weekend, spent a week in scottsdale with my family. nice, wholesome family fun. i needed it.
7. 3rd year out of school - went to sarasota with my best friend from high school's family. our brothers, who were seniors in high school at the time, were coincidentally here on spring break. embarrasingly enough, we hung out with my brother, while her's was layed up in the hospital from a spring break mishap. mishap = him getting his ass kicked and my brother and the rest of their friends spending the entire rest of the spring break trying to find the kids who did it. never happened. other than that, not a whole lot of excitement happening in the city with the highest concentration of old people.
8. 4th year out - i actually (thank god) have no plans of a "spring break" typed trip this year. guess i'm growing up after all.

so that's that guys. even though i refer to going on "spring break" the last four years, these trips just accidentally coincided with your normal spring break months. um, who am i trying to kid???
