Soon, There Will be Scrabble.

But right now I'm waiting for Andrea to finish making out with Eric.
The last two nights have been scary and confusing and wonderful all at the same time. Bloody but beautiful, if you will.
Sunday evening I went with Kyle to hang out with a friend of his (Nick) because it was his birthday. My momma dropped me off in a Little Ceasar's parking lot. Kyle got a pizza for himself because he likes to gross me out (plus he was hungry), and then we were on our way. Nick was already a little upset when we got into the car, but when we got to the house we were going to to pick up the girl Sarah he got worse.
Sarah was at a boy Eric's house. Kyle and Nick don't like Eric because he thinks he's 16. Eric will be turning 20 this year. Eric ditched out on Kyle and Nick because he decided he had to throw up. Sarah went with him.
When Nick got back to the house, Eric had invted a few folks over. Nick wasn't planning on hosting such a crowd, and Eric suggested that they just stay at his place.
Thus began the fullness of Nick's rage.
(side note: while nick was running in and out of the house, kyle and i were making out etc. in nick's car. did i mention it was nick's birthday? and his best friend is going at it in his car while he tries to get sarah to go with him. i know, we're horrible people.)
After Nick finally got back to the car with Sarah, we decided to grab coffee or something. Nick instructed Kyle to not get something caffeinated because Kyle was being himself. SO we drove and drove, and nick almost got us into an accident because he wasn't paying attention, and then we started looking for restaurants.
IHOP: closed.
Schoop's: closed.
This was when Nick decided to abort the evening. He wanted to take Sarah home. Sarah lives in the city. (So do I. I did not get offered a ride home.) He dropped Kyle and I off at a train station 15 minutes after the second to last train had left. The next train was at 11:50, and it was about 10. I was supposed to take that train.
We had an hour and 50 minutes. We started calling people, because the station we had been left at was very cold. Eventually we got a hold of Kellie and Kevin. Kelly and Kevin were about an hour away. So we waited, and they showed up. We drove to Kyle's house. After conversing with his parents and being fed, we all sat around for a long while. I missed my train.
Plan A: I would go to Kellie's and sleep on her futon. Kevin would drive me to the train in the morning.
We did not follow plan A.
Plan B: I go with to Kellie's, then Kevin would drive me back and Kyle and I would sit up for the train.
Eventually, it was 2 ae em. Kellie's mother called and yelled at her. They left, and Kyle and I climbed into bed for a few hours. I made my train, and stumbled into bed around 7 ae em. I managed to set the alarm for 1:30 before I drifted off.
At 3:10 pm I woke up. I dressed as fast as I could and ran outside. On the way to the train I called Rachel, the girl I was supposed to meet at 2, and let her know I was on my way. She told me that there was an L train to evanston as opposed to the metra I had planned to take. That saved time.
We went to this place called Cozy Noodles and Rice. Not Cosi, Cozy. A little thai place.
Whoa boy. Amazing. I had so much thai food. It was amazing. And it was beautiful to see Rachel again.
When I got back to my apartment, I realized that at some point i had started my period. I think. I don't know what it is but I've been bleeding even though I still have a week plus of pills.
Meg and Adam came and picked me up. Adam has a car, which is nice. He is very cute and sweet. We drove to Logan square, to a house that was painted and coming apart and was full of kids. They had a steamroller bigger than my forearm. I don't smoke pot, but it was an experience to watch people use it. Then we went to Adam's apartment, which was lovely. It was very clean and in Pilsen, possibly near where Kimmy lives. He gave Meg and I the grande tour and then he made me tea. Green tea and earl grey. Tasty.
Around then was when Andrea called me to say that she was back from mexico, and that I should get on a train. I had Adam drive me back with Meg (after I had finished the rest of my tea and spent a little more time sitting). Meg went back with him though.
Then I got ready to get o the train, and as it pulled up Andrea informed me that she was leaving for round the clock and that she wouldn't get me from the station.
I went to Kyle's. Spent a few hours in his bed. When it was time to leave, however, Andrea called the house. His parents woke up.
*Insert tension*
Kyle can get scary when he gets nervous and angry, and I get catatonic when he scares me. Eventually, after a lot of scared and nervous and catatonic, we left. And I made it to Andrea's house. And we slept. And I kept mistaking her for Kyle in the night, and then I would open my eyes and it was her and I would roll over.
