The traumas of college

I sit on my bed recounting the events of the past few weeks, and I feel this deep sense of, hopelessness.  I know that sounds emo, but its true.  Everyone dreams of the day when they leave home and go to college, I know, I was that way too.  And I chose the best city, and the furthest place from home.  And I realize, that friendships that were my LIFE in HS, are slowly but surely dissintegrating.  I called my friend the other day, and I couldn't for the life of me find anything to talk about.  Perhaps this is a good thing.  Perhaps college is where you go to solidify the new friendships you have and leave the drama filled friendship behind.  
But I find myself homesick, craving these friendships.  And my bed.  Bestie went home for the weekend, and I was so jealous.  Also, I have noticed that I have ennui.  I didn't really know how to incorporate that gracefully, but I have.  The past few days have consisted of getting drunk, eating massive amounts of junk food, wanting cigarettes, watching Little Britain on Youtube, and bitching about the weather.  You know college is supposed to be about education, and I am doing everything BUT!  I am also bitching about the lack of a certain someone who adds a dash of excitment to my life.   But for his sake I will not talk about him.  
Just wanted to see if anybody else feels the same.  Now for a rant.  I went to PLuS (LD program) and scheduled my classes.  And I wanted to know about intersession.  Intersession is this three week period in between Thanksgiving and Christmas in which I can gain credits.  I want to do it, and my mom wants me to do it too.  I bring this up to my clinician, and he tells me that it is too hard for me!   I wanted to yell, scream, stab him with his shitty kiddy safety scissors!  I am not like most of the kids in that program.  I AM CAPABLE!  I WANT TO BE CHALLENGED!  I am not pay 46k a year to get an easy education.  I felt like someone going to an expensive car dealership and the salesman saying that these are too expensive for me!  Now, I am angry.  I need a drink.  Peace and love darlings!

Sexy botch!

Once again, shock and awe across the nation as I have posted again on my blog.  I also believe that I will begin all of my musings (aka rants and pathetic stories) with "I sit here/upon/on/etc. on my bed"  If you think I should do so, please comment and say so.  If not, comment and give ideas!  GRACIAS!  Now on with my rants.

I sit here upon my bed listening to Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp by Chopin and I am thinking about the past week.  Rather trying, for reasons, that I do not want to discuss.  If you want to know, text me and I will tell you.  ANYWAYS!  I will recount this weekend.  Olivia texted me on thurs and said that she was gonna ask her godmother if I could go to God Squad.  I love you Olivia.  We pregamed way too hard core in my room, because by the time that we got to Katie's (Liv's gma) I was pretty drunk.  Reaching that point where you don't care how the drink tastes, just as long as it has alchohol.  Then I forged the way to the Loft.  I was very pleased to arrive, heaily inebriated.  I had resolved to have one drink and then go home.  I ordered a drink that sounded superb, a gin, vodka, lemonade, and cranberry.  As I sat down in the smoking room to smoke a cigarette, I placed my drink down on an IKEA ottoman.  Then this DOUCHE BAG (I feel a rant coming on)  KNOCKS OVER MY MOTHERFUCKING DRINK!  I SERIOUSLY WANTED TO BEAT THE GUY UP!  BE THAT OBNOXIOUS ANGRY DRUNK GUY THAT GETS PISSSED WHEN SOMEONE SPILLS YOUR DRINK.  AFTERALL, HE WAS THE OBNOXIOUS DRUNK GUY THAT UNKNOWINGLY KNOCKS OVER YOUR DRINK!  Anyways, I decided that I would just leave, I went to the golden apple, and eventually hired myself to go see bestie Lauren at Columbia.  I brougth my golden apple leftovers and we watched Junebug, which if you haven't watched it, I must tell you to watch.  AMY ADAMS AMAZING!  

Saturday, almost a total bust, due to the lack of alkie.  Liv and I decided to go to Y2K Cafe.  I ordered the peking duck, SO GOOD!  However, it isn't sitting too well with me.  Liv got the beef low mein.  The dinner was delicious, and during the 20 minutes that it took us to put our order in, we decided that we would troll down Halsted through Boystown.  I felt this especially fitting because I was sporting my gifted Burberry polo, my recently purchaced 20's vest, awesome Lena recommended hat, and light jeans.  So we wandered around.  I had two guys hit on me.  One was the quintecential BAD gay guy.  The guy that is balding, and is shaving it, and has a big nose, and looks 50 years old.  Then one was a fat black guy.  BUT I did purchase a halloween costume, that will most likely be SO absurd that it will be amazing, and spoken about for years to come.

Now I shall progress onto deeper matters.My highschool career is not what you would describe as average.  I got expelled for selling aderall, don't aks me for any, I don't take it, and u think I'd make the same mistake twice?!  ANYWAYS!  So I go expelled and then went to a retarted kids school.  And my bestie Lauren was always there for me.  And now I am in college, and I feel like I was jipped in HS.  My english teacher has told us to forget everything we learned.  FUCK the normal essay style.  While I find this refreshing, I feel like he is the only person who does this.  

Now I come to Olivia.  We are married on Facebook.  And we are having a baby named Dariusz Benjamin Banter Douglas-Hogge.  And she is my DePaul bestie.  And while I am creating all of these new friendships, I still have this regret in the back of my mind.  A good friend from back home has decided to cease all communications with me.  The reason is understandable, however, it seems as tho the 3 years of friendship have not existed.  But I suppose that that is the purpose of college, to leave your old friends, and to make new ones.  Oh, and get an education!

I realize that this post will be hella boring, but, why the hell not?!  Just like Kinky!

Hello all!  SHOCK!  I have done a second post on my blog.  I am waiting for the n horsemen of the apocalypse to appear.  Until then, I will relay my week to you.

Monday, I got the delightful news that my essay that was supposed to be due this Wednesday is due the Wednesday after next.  HURRAH!  I have more time to procrastinate.  It also gives me more time to actually go to Wal-Mart and observe people instead of fabricating observations.  However I am quite sure that my observations are accurate.  For example, HEINOUS CLOTHES!   Organized from XXXL down.

Let me abbreviate the rest of the weekdays, more procrastination, and bitching and moaning (justifiably) about my incompetent math teacher.

Friday however we went to see street car.  It twas amazing!  I cried 3 count them 3 tears at the end of the play.  After the play we went to the after party which was a total bust except that they didn't card for the first 30 minutes.  So I was able to get sufficiently buzzed.  We then returned to LP.  I got my enormous bottle, equivalent to handle, minus the handle (they should just call it the college bottle) and deposited it in Olivia's purse and ventured to Ambrosia, the shitty hookah bar, with my wife Olivia, great Jewish mother Lena, hairy Kyle, Kyle's spiky friend Zackers, sporty Derrick, and slutty Diana.  There was massive making out occurring that night.  Lets recount.  

Lena/Olivia
Zackers/Olivia

Diana/Derrick

Olivia/Diana

The making out between Olivia and Lena received claps from the other table.  Olivia now OWES me a makeout session, which will be fulfilled tonight!  I anticipate there will be more making out.  LENA why do you have to be allergic to alcohol?!  I have the urge to make out with this Anne Hathaway look-alike.  She is a good jewish mother, and looks like Anne Hathaway!  

I now lounge upon my bed like Cleopatra on the barge anticipating the wonders in store for tonight. BOOGIE NIGHTS party.  I got the most disgusting shirt from the most amazing consignment store!  I now must shower and get ready for a party tat promises to be AMAZING!  

Thanks for reading, and if the horsemen have appeared, will someone give them my cell number?
