Last sunday night!

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 15:39:10 GMT

Ok so I never really got around to talking about what exactally happened last sunday night and since im wicked bored I really feel the need to write about it, cause it was friggen insane! Ok so read this and comment to what you think about this: So my georgetown friends wanted to PARTY with me&Keri(b/c tonys parents went away) So I called up Drew and told him what I wanted to go so he came and picked me up at like 10:45pm...haha my parents were still awake upstaires but that didnt stop me from sneaking out! So we went to Wendy's and I got french fries and chicken<3 Keri was still at some party with her family so it was either I stay home and do nothing or go without her...so since im such a bad friend I went without herrr. Then we picked up Janelle&Ana. Then went to Tonys house in g-town where: Jacques,George,Tony,Ashley,Kat&Joe&Stephen G. were there. So I ran upstaires and took 3 shots with Kat then Ana took 1...went back down staries and smoked a little with Jacques&George. Then went back upstaires and took more shots(Total of 8 shots) Wow was friggen gone all the girls were like going crazyy and wild Ana took the gum out of my mouth and put it next to me and I guess I rolled on it cause it was alllllllll over my back and arm...and my abercrombie shirt(Which somehow I got it off) I guess everyone got a little on them hahahah...Keri text me and wanted us to go pick her up so Tony took his car and I came with him to show him exactally where to go cause he wasnt sure. Um lets see...we talked about everything..and when we got keri from that point on was a blurrr I passed out in the car holding on to Tonys arm while he was driving! Then we eventually got to his house and I guess Tony carried me upstaires and and we were going to his room and started to fell wicked dizzzzy and I go"I think im going to throw up" so right as he puts me down next to the bucket I threw up....again.....again...&agian...I guess I threw up like 7 times which I dont remember...Tony put me on his bed and I threw up again! And then I guess I passed out and everyone was said I was snoring wicked loud...hahah!! So the only thing I remember was stumbling around my house and getting into bed. I dont remember the ride going home or even going back into my own house. Oh I woke up in the car as keri was tring to pull me out of the car and I woke up on Jacques lap.....got home at 5:00am.

So then next moning my mom slams open the door and goes "WHY DIDNT YOU LEAVE FOR VOLLEYBALL YET" which I totally forgot about cause my alarm didnt go off...Because I didnt have my phone..which i couldnt find!!!! So then I remembered that it was in my bag at TONYS HOUSE IN GEORGE TOWN!!!! So I called him up and as I was talking to him I stretched and I felt something in my braw! So I put my hand in my braw and I PULL OUT A FRIGGEN LITTLE BAG OF WEEEEEEEED!!!!! Oh man I was so excited...Then it was all coming back to me! Janelle that night told me to put it in my braw and keep it even though it was georges weed:/ oooooppps. So I told Tony and he said to just keep it. So I smoked up Alex R. Mike D. and Ana b4 the football game friday.(oh I obviously never went to practise that day) So an hour later I told my mom I was "going on a run" AND I RAN TO GEORGETOWN!! hahahah just kidding. No Tony drove to haverhill and he picked me up and we went to dunkin donuts and sat in the parking lot and we talked for like an hour and I got my cell phone backkk!! Oh and I found out that Keri,Janelle,Kat&Ashley were all in the shower together with chocolate syrup and only with there underwear on with there tops off....LESBIANS!!!! but yea so much happened other stuff I cant even say! So thats my life so far and Im having the time of my life!!!!!!!

OH YEA KERI&I ARE GOING TO GEORGETOWN NEXT YEAR<33VERYYYY EXCITED, I LOVVVVE G-TOWN PEOPLE!!!

Sat, 10 Sep 2005 16:13:05 GMT
