I thought it a good idea to stay in tonight so I would get some decent rest and get some quality studying in tomorrow for my philosophy final (last one!) on Monday. Sure enough, it's 1AM, I'm still wide awake, and there's not a damn thing to do since my buds all went out to a concert.
So I surfed around until I wound up on Drew's blog, and I'm once again impressed with the quality of his posts. The Kool-Aid Man picture is golden, and his entry about life at OU (even though it is OU) is good stuff. Over the last couple weeks, I've started to feel the same way:
I don't want to leave here.
Not that it won't be awesome chillin, coffee sippin, lanning, and partying with the A-town crowd, but I've finally settled myself down here. The figurative tree that is blakerson has finally had its roots take hold in the ground after being transplanted. I'm even used to the taste of the tap water.
A lot of this has to do with the fact that I signed my lease for my apartment next year. It's going to be myself, Adam (linked on right), and the Brothers McMillin, both of whom fucking rule. I'm not going to get any sleep, and I'll be cranky as shit until it finally clicks for me that I'm *supposed* to not sleep and enjoy every hour of every day with these guys. Not to mention it's a complex full of Greeks, so it's going to be a constant party around us whether we like it or not. I'm hugely psyched. I'm finally starting to get my own identity on this campus, and it's really pretty damn fun, and pretty damn not fun to have to drop that for a month.
So I've already decided to return to campus the day the dorms re-open along with the aforementioned guys, which is over a week and a half before classes restart, just so we can all waste time together and try to find some cool stuff to do and cool places to go. But that's still 4 weeks and change in A-town, so really guys, don't think I'm shortchanging you or avoiding you or anything.
The whole idea can be put into two songs. In fact, I'll make it a mixed drink of rock. Find a nice glass, no ice necessary, and put in:
Something Corporate - 21 and Invincible, one part
Jimmy Eat World - 23, one part Hey, imagine that. I found a good use for emo. I guess such things happen when you stay in on a Saturday night.
