I had a fantastic night last night.

mayamaiaPredictably, every single girl I consider my friend at SCU is on the rugby team. HA.
Anyway. So the first thing I encountered after leaving the computer yesterday afternoon was the dedication of the new library. She's very lovely, I gleefully got myself as lost as I could on every floor. And took oodles of pictures, which may well get posted eventually. It's awesome, I ran EVERYWHERE and got to see the new media rooms and Cubicle Land and the new stacks - which is a LOT of empty shelves at the moment, since the grand opening isn't until the 31st. I managed to sneak into the Automated Retrieval system too and probably would have spent more time there if I didn't hear somebody coming. Anyway, she's beautiful and I approve, and I called Jeff to tell him so.
...just got distracted. Casey and Andy updated! And it makes me happy happy.
Back to my story, I got back to the dorm and Stephanie had made cupcakes with Anna. Green ones. Delicious.
Then Rachel called and asked if I wanted pasta with her and Tamara! While they were finishing it, Rachel asked if I liked guys who were computer nerds cause she had a friend who seemed my type - I reminded her of my age and that I'd pretty much be robbing the cradle with anyone at SCU. But the pasta - Deeeeelicious! Tamara made this awesome sauce - I may just start saying Awesome Sauce a lot because it will make me think of it - which was slightly sweet and spiced and buttery! So, so very good! Ohh, best thing ever, and it tasted even better after a bit of chocolate. I had to tell someone and of course the first person I thought of was Jeff again... so he got another, more interesting call.
Now Rachel had asked me to share a bottle of wine with her - I warned her I wouldn't drink much, but Rachel mostly wanted me to hang out with the group of them for at least part of the night. Tamara doesn't drink and we joined their friend Hayley who had already gotten drunk on the wine at the library dedication. We spent the first bit of the night getting Hayley water and pasta even before getting the wine for Rachel and I... but once that was taken care of and we'd gotten still more food at Round Table, we hung out at Hayley's watching House. Rachel started talking about how she needed to find a man because sex is better when you're drunk.... inviting some joke from me that I do wish I could remember. But eh. Rachel was duly impressed at my talents as a masseuse, and I got rather more tipsy than I remember ever being. Or maybe it's just been a long time.
Regardless, I forgot my purse at Hayley's room and by the time I remembered (at the door to my room, where we were going to drop off the second, unopened bottle of wine), Hayley had already gone off to a party. So Tamara and Rachel and I struggled through the crowd (tipsy and in high heels, getting pressed from all sides by a mass of people? Not my cup of tea.) and finally got the card and keys for Hayley's dorm... but then Rachel wanted to stay so Tamara and I rushed to get my purse and drop off the bottle and get back because Tamara was worried that Rachel might do something stupid. Turns out she only told a guy "If I wasn't so drunk, I'd totally make out with you" and then complained about not getting to make out with him for half an hour.
We split off to get her something to eat at the Bronco where she did some very slick failures at pool table stunts. I wiggled my nose at something she said, prompting the very mind-bending responce: "Stop confusing my gender. You need to be fucked by a tall, straight and interesting older man." ...and she expressed similar confusion at Tamara a little later, in reponse to an inside joke.
Night was done. Went to bed and had a whole series of very VERY odd dreams involving in some way almost everything mentioned above, but in a warped way. I think my favorite part was the dream where I worked with Jeff at a gigantic bookstore - he was behind the desk and I knew where everything was stocked - which also sold giant pillows where I hid when I didn't want to talk to him.
And this morning Stephanie told me Tamara had bragged to her that she and Rachel had gotten me to go to a party. HA.
