Need To Rethink Some Friends

So I'm finding out who my real friends are and who are shallow, selfish (insert profane names here). UGH!

On another note, I will tell you all about my wonderful Asheville trip tomorrow :)

THE MASSIVE UPDATE HAS ARRIVED

So... I have finally made time to explain the past 4 weeks or so. I figured that after everything has happened, yet before I fly down to Asheville would be the perfect time to catch you up. I am warning you though, I will probably leave some stuff out and I will make it as short as possible... however this will still be a very large, likely biggest post I have ever posted in the past 4+ years this blog has been in use. Ok let's go in order from beginning to now...

Visit Christie at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA

Friday, October 22- Sunday, October 24

Ok, so after a 3 and something hour drive through the Virginia mountains watching a beautiful sunset in the western horizon, I arrived at James Madison University in the mid evening hours. I get a warm welcome from Ms. White, get my bags settled into her dorm and then we pretty much immediately head off to dinner and start making plans for our evening. We eventually decide to go to a sorority party... boy... what followed next is almost indescribable lol. Let me start with the "Drunk Bus" ride. That is an adventure all on it's own. We were at the bus stop at around 10:30PM and people were already drunk HEADING to the parties. But anyway, people had jukeboxes blasting and I'd say about 100, possibly more, college students were singing "Don't Stop Believin' " in perfect unison. After waiting about 3o mins or so, the first bus came... and let me tell you... I have NEVER seen a human stampede like that one. I literally went into partial shock lol. Thankfully that was not our bus, however ours arrived about 5 mins later. So Christie and I get on the bus, ride about 30 mins and then we finally arrive at our pre-game party at the sorority house. Christie and I had already had a couple shots of Vodka before we arrived... but as soon as we got there... they practically shoved gulps of Vodka down our throats haha. This is where I leave details out and just say... I got very drunk, took some hilarious videos and pics, went to a crazy party down the street where I blacked out for a time, made it back to the house, thought I was gonna die, called my mom and other people and so much more lol. Here are just a few pics from that night...

Christie and I eventually passed out at the sorority house, and we both lived. Now, Saturday comes along... we wake up, I have THE WORST hang over I believe possible... we get a ride back to her dorm and I just crash onto her bed and sleep most of the day away. Let me tell you, I did not know hang overs could be that bad. Whoa! Lol. Anyway, that night we just chilled, stayed in and played on the computer and had some friends over, we did go watch a soccer game... that was fun. All in all a much more chill night lol.
Sunday was very easy going. I slept in a bit, said good bye to Christie and started my next journey... to Buckhannon, WV to visit Courtney.

Visit Courtney at W. Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, WV

Sunday, October 24 - Thursday, October 28

Life changing? Maybe, not quite. What do I mean? Well let's rewind to the very beginning of the West Virginia trip. To get there, I had to drive 3 1/2 hours on a two lane state and county road through steep mountains, hours without cell phone reception. It was an interesting drive for sure. Isolated and feeling alone most of the time, however it was a beautiful drive and a good experience, however one that only needs to happen once lol. Anyway I get to Buckhannon, and pull into the college. One of the very first things I do once I get settled into Courtney's dorm is take a shower. Lol. Then she takes me on a tour of Buckhannon......we eat at CJ Maggies with some of her "friends" and then go back to her dorm and we play some Family Feud with Jessica, Matt and Tim... I think that's it. I don't remember, cuz honestly that night is the only non drama filled one lol. But it was a fun night :P

The innocence and uncomplicated memories of night number 1 are but a distant memory. Now, as far as Monday - Thursday go... I will tread these waters carefully. And I am opting to leave some, if not most details out. In doing so, it will eliminate a lot of drama and information and thus will make this post much smaller than it would've been. However, I will do the best I can, breaking things down by day.

Monday- During the day, everything was fine. Not much happened. At night however, LLLOONNNNGGG story short, we had another Family Feud night and this time a guy named Todd and his then boyfriend were invited to come over and play. Nor Courtney or I knew Todd or his boyfriend, but somehow they got invited via Facebook. Now, Todd chose to come over and his boyfriend chose not to. We had a good night and Todd left and that was that. Todd and Courtney seemed to have hit it off pretty good Monday night. Then as Courtney and I were getting ready for bed... Todd contacted us and said he and his boyfriend had a fight and he needed somewhere to stay... and THIS is where details are left out. Todd, myself and Courtney were up until 7AM talking, laughing and watching TV. Good times.

Tuesday- Well after about 2 hours of sleep, we all got up and about. It was an ok day. Not too too much to say. You know, with me having to leave most things out. But I will tell you Todd had to stay the night again. And that started some drama Tuesday night.

Wednesday- This, arguably, may be the most drama filled day of my life. And if not, it's certainly top 3. It ended with a physical exchange between Todd and his ex, Courtney forcing the ex out. And a ton of drama that followed. Peaking at a point I could not stand any longer. I chose to remove myself from the situation and packed my things... however I couldn't leave Todd there alone or make him stay with Courtney and put her well being at risk by "harboring" him. So I invited Todd along with me to go to a hotel in a neighboring city. And that's what we did. Unannounced we packed our things, he from his dorm he shared with his ex, and I, my things from Courtney's dorm... and we left. I then called Courtney and informed her of things while she was talkig to the "mad mob" down the hall. I get to my car and found this lovely note on the windshield......isn't that mature!? Gotta love how some people are raised or choose to act. Now, I am SO SO SO tempted to name names, go on a rant and callout these lower-than-scum-pieces of trash... but I won't. I'm bigger than that. Anyway Todd and I get to the hotel and actually had a decent evening and overnight sans the drama. Anyway here is a pic of Todd sleeping in the covers lol. Now let's move to Thursday.

Thursday- Wake up. Drop Todd back off at college. Say a very VERY quick goodbye to Courtney. And then I returned home with a much more elaborate and detailed story for my family. What a trip.

Halloween Party at Paige Hill's House

Friday, October 29

To start off, this years party, for me at least, was not as enjoyable as last years. But SOOOO much was different this year from last in my life. Last year I was happily in a relationship, had a ton of friends, the confidence of a pro wrestler and everything was looking up. This year, you can pretty much just reverse all of those things lol. I'm single, although for now at least that's probably best. My friends have all either moved away, are busy, or I have discovered are secretly selfish backstabbers. Because of my last relationship my self esteem and confidence went through the floor... thankfully I'm making a comeback from that, slowly but surely. And as far as the future, it looks ok. I am trying my best to shape it to be a positive one... but really only time will tell. But I definitely see how it will be more of a positive than a negative one :) Now, back to the party that I somehow got sidetracked from lol. It was ok... not as many people there that I knew last time. I mean it was a good time... but I don't know... I guess mentally I just wasn't there.
At least I had a GREAT story to tell everyone from the previous weeks events! Haha! After the party, I picked up Kristianna and we sat in the McDonald's parking lot and just talked for hours. It was nice.

Give Mom a Tour of DC

Monday, November 1 - Tuesday, November 2

So you may be surprised to learn that even though my mom has lived 40 mins from DC pretty much all of her life... she had never really seen the city. So we decided to do an overnight trip to DC and I would show her the city. Of course we stayed at my beloved Hilton Garden Inn Downtown :) SOOOO many memories have happened there. Later that night we went to this French restaurant I have walked by countless times before and wondered how the food was. I believe it is called Bistro Bistro. It was ok. I tried mozzarella cheese made from buffalo milk. Ew. Anyway I gave her a tour and on Tuesday we got haircuts from the fantastic stylest Jonathan at PR and Partners. Who just happens to be a great friend of mine :) And of course Aris works there too so I got to see him too :D All in all it was a good trip :)

Phil Visits

Wednesday, November 3 - Monday, November 8

Yayyyyy :D As you know, or possibly you don't but you should, Phil is one of my closest and longest known friends I have. As you recall, he came down last year to visit me while I was with Nic. Well he came back down this month :D I mentioned that in previous posts, but there was one small change. We had to stay at a hotel. I just wasn't ready to spring having people spend the night on my dad quite yet... in time though. Anyway we really only did one thing really worth mentioning while he was here... and that was we went to TOWN Friday night. I had SO much fun! I don't think I've ever had that much fun at the club before... I usually hate the club, but not this time. It was awesome :D Anyway, honestly there isn't much to say about Phils visit. We hung out with Elle, went to my dads, hung out with Kristianna and pretty much that's it. I was sad when I had to take him back to the airport on Monday... but all good things must come to an end.

Impromptu Visit To West Virginia... Again

Thursday, November 11 - Sunday, November 14

So you may think I am crazy... but I went back. I wanted to spend some time with Todd. So I went back, unannounced except to him. You would think I learned my lesson from my previous visit. But I did not. I will not mention much of the trip except I did enjoy myself. It was pretty fun and relaxing. However, one night, the same scum that messed with me last time, searched for my car and egged it one evening. We called the cops and had them taken care of. People are so stupid sometimes. In the end I had fun and laugh in the pitiful faces of such insecure people.

Well that's that! My whirlwind month of excitement and adventure. And it continues tomorrow when I fly to Asheville and visit my friends and family down there. I am so excited! And you bet I will be posting about THAT in the days to come. :)

Made An Impromptu Visit To West Virginia!

So I just got back from a 4 day trip to West Virginia Wesleyan College... again... and more drama happened! I will explain everything as in the coming days. I know I haven't been doing very well at updating... but a lot is going on! Maybe I will tomorrow... or maybe I will at the airport Tuesday or possibly while I'm in Asheville.

BUSY!

So as eluded to in the previous post, I have been busy. Very busy. This is why I haven't posted much. What you have been missing for the past 2 weeks range from drunken nights in Virginia, to drama filled romantical happenings in West Virginia, to running from a friends scorned ex in the the same state. How about a new hair style and giving my mom a tour of DC? Phil comes down tomorrow, and so much more. Yup a lot has happened and it will probably have to wait until next week for me to explain. Excited!?
