@notthequarterback: I'll raise my drink in congratulations to you, sir.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Hey, if you need anything, you have my e-mail address.

Good night all.

@DUAN: I think I'm depressed. I'm seeing someone this morning about it. Don't worry for me. I'm just...down.

Do, though, check DeadOn late tomorrow; I'm writing something I think people will like. And with that, night to PQ, TM, and Kat.

Ladies and gentlemen, our long national nightmare is over.

I have found my glasses.

They were wedged between my boxspring and the wall. Again.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Nighty night.

And just like I normally do when all the women have left the party, I'm making my exit too.

okay, i'm officially retiring from duan for the night. i've reached the point where even the things that pass the filter are inappropriate. sorry all.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Golf clap.

I just hope I got it out of my system, 'cause I probably shouldn't get trashed at my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary this weekend.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: and THAT was the awkward car bomb?

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:27:54 EDT

@TattooedMess(iah): last time i was blackout i woke up next to my bff topless in her bed (which isn't odd- we usually sleep mostly nekkid) wondering what exactly happened. turns out that blackout drunk i was able to wash my face, brush my teeth, take off my jewelry, drink a fair amount of water to prevent a completely debilitating hangover, and change into pajama bottoms (though i did forget the top thing, and apparently was walking around liz's kitchen for the world to see, not caring, though her male roomies were but one room over). i also fell flat on my face, picked a fight with a random dude, gave a fake number to another random dude, and got 2 cops to tell me that i could do whatever i wanted at the bar. all while claiming it was my bachelorette party.

yeah. at least i didn't wake up naked in my sometimes booty call's bathtub, like my friend april.

TattooedMess(iah) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:20:52 EDT

@PQ Crash: Try waking up naked in your own bed and having to call your buddy to work your way backwards from there. The good news is that I didn't take my clothes off 'til he was gone.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:20:36 EDT

@Rock You Like An Iracane: all good passions/distractions. i volunteered at an afterschool center for at risk youth all through college and LOVED it. and yeah, holla at me tomorrow. i prolly won't be around 'til later (i have the kids by myself til thursday), but i'll be around eventually

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: It's absolutely amazing. Apparently I go on cruise control, which is kinda cool and weird at the same time.

@TattooedMess(iah): The last time I blacked out, I was 21. I remembered starting the night in Seattle...I woke up in Tacoma. Thank God I wasn't driving.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Thanks for the warning. I'll proceed with due caution.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Looking for hobbies while you're in college? Try drugs.

Rock You Like An Iracane — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:08:05 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: I know. I may take you up on that tomorrow night while playing poker with the floor here; my best non-Rockette friend, sometimes flaky, hasn't been near her phone the last two days for me to talk to, and you helped a lot the other time.

And as for passions, I'm thinking a volunteer project I would run (something with reading, writing, and basketball at a local school, maybe), College Bowl, and/or more time with the improv troupe I'm in.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:07:24 EDT

@TattooedMess(iah): my friends know that when they lose me i'm talking to someone in authority. i gravitate towards policemen, then doormen, then bartenders if no one else is available. isn't it amazing how well we can function when we're blackout?

@PQ Crash: the metrosexual hanson brothers of today's tween set. you're better off not knowing. trust.

TattooedMess(iah) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:04:01 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: @PQ Crash: My buddy who had driven says at one point he lost me (I forgot to tell him if you lose me, I'm probably going to the bar to get another drink) and was heading to the car when he saw me dancing with a girl. He said normally people can't dance when they're shitfaced so he figured I was fine. He passed out in the car and apparently I was one of the last people out of the bar. Last thing I remember is stepping up to the bar and downing back to back LI Iced Teas like shots, and this is after I'd been drinking for 3 hours already.

So yea, no one to tell me what I did. All I know is I came away with new numbers and I only remember pulling one of them.

Rock You Like An Iracane — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:02:20 EDT

Also, watching Shawshank for the first time yesterday -- even though I knew the twist coming in, thanks a fucking lot, Simmons -- was rather inspiring. That helps.

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

Rock You Like An Iracane — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:01:20 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: The latter sounds good...

I've been up on us of late. There are days when that isn't the case.

I cannot wait for a listless summer. I need to minimize any grades damage (probably around a 3.2-3.6 GPA this semester; I know, I'm not whining about much), go home, recharge and come back to Gainesville with a passion or two.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:01:03 EDT

@PQ Crash: the boss man hasn't turned in his latest blockbuster flicks, so our movies have stopped coming. which is laaame. so i've been watching all the mighty ducks movies and, well, disney. i can even name the jonas brothers now.

PQ Crash — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:57:45 EDT

@TattooedMess(iah): Blacking out is the fucking worst. The few times it happened to me, I was fortunate to be around people I trusted.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: I wasn't going to name names or anything...

Screw it, DUAN is an open forum -- have at it.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: I'm still winding down off of my "Oscar blitzkrieg". I'm finally digging back into my Netflix queue. Although I did watch Into the Wild when I flew down to San Francisco.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:53:15 EDT

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Don't worry about the appointment. Go in and be honest with yourself and Dr. Who. And remember, it's YOUR life. Tell the Rockette that no matter what goes down, it's your life and your decisions to make. And then tell her how much you want to make out with her.

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:50:44 EDT

@PQ Crash: the last movie i saw was "Twitches" and I'm looking forward to the movie "Camp Rock." I really need to stop watching so much Disney.

@TattooedMess(iah): it was a good game! low score, and more 3 up 3 down innings than i'd like to see, but the weather wasn't too bad (cold, yeah, but not unbearable), i ran into a couple of my friends, and the kids didn't start getting bored until the 6th inning. so, yeah. pretty good. and black out? never any good. i haven't blacked out since a couple months ago when i don't even remember eating face on the main strip of bars..

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

Rock You Like An Iracane — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:46:32 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Okay, so I'm really worried about this appointment, and Rockette is fretting about whether Dr. Whoever will tell me to focus on myself/cut ties.

@PQ Crash: I can drag DU!AN further down. It's a specialty.

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

TattooedMess(iah) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:45:56 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Yea, how was the Rockies game? And I've been getting my drink on tonight, but I need to take it easy. I got hammered on Thursday and blacked out on Friday night. There's a 3 hour block of time missing at the bar/club and that's kinda scary.

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

PQ Crash — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:44:38 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Yeah, probably. Sorry, didn't mean to drag DU!AN down.

On another topic, Hot Fuzz has to be the best send-up of every action movie ever.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:41:46 EDT

@TattooedMess(iah): dandy, all things considered. getting my drink on, not sleeping as i should be (what else is new), and yeah... watched some good ball tonight. not too shabby.

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

TattooedMess(iah) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:40:03 EDT

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: Not very sunny lately. Other than that, I'm just trying to get used to this month's schedule and catch up on sleep. Which I'm not doing tonight, obviously.

And how are you?

@Natrone Means Business: do you tailgate for baseball games? i was planning on perusing art galleries downtown, dicking around invesco for a while helping my friend plan her next event, then heading down to coors.

actually, even in gross weather, this still sounds like a fantastic idea. maybe coleman still has those fleece lined ponchos on sale...

Le Kangourou de Kataroo — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:08:16 EDT

@Lupicas!XofullofBile: i know... it just doesn't feel so right to be at a game when everyone else is working if it's not sunny and warm. but still, it's baseball. and i'm a junky. especially when i have access to a major league team. maybe the weather will turn, like it did for today?

It's Olympic Torch Relay Eve!

Lupicas!XofullofBile — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:05:35 EDT

I mean it's all about the smell of fresh cut grass, nice breezy days without a care in the world. It's the crack of a bat, not the squish of a ball in the snow.

@PQ Crash: welp, the way i see it, these kids are my reason for being out here. right before i made the move i was offered an AWESOME, once in a lifetime career opportunity in new hampshire working on a major senate race. i should have hands down done that, but couldn't shake the gut feeling that i had to come out here. i'm all about going with my gut, and i'm glad i did. i can be somewhat stable for these kids. even when i stop working for them, i'm staying in this area so i can still see them regularly.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo...TRY IT!: I guess you're doing these kids a nice service by being there for them. Most jobs don't require you to be so emaotionally high on a day to day basis. What boggles my mind is the low pay scale in your line of work.

@Lupicas!XofullofBile: You hug him, you tell him that it's okay to not be okay and talk about it and cry about it, you tell him that you love him, you tell him that his mom loves him, you tell him that you miss your mom too but that you know she's happy when you're happy. you hug him some more. you wipe his tears.

and then you make a monster sized malibu/so co/orange juice.

also, i think i'm going to let him play hooky tomorrow. his class is taking a field trip to see 'horton hears a who' which he saw with his mom, and he started almost hyperventilating he was crying so hard when he told me that he didn't want to go see it again because the last time he saw it was with her. i told him we could talk about it in the morning, but i really don't think he needs to go.

i haven't told my boss that i'm taking a week and a half off, but i haven't taken any time off since being out here, even when i went home last. so i don't think they're going to say anything. my boss is just glad i haven't quit.
