Finally. I’ve recovered from my viral infection and no longer need to take my narcotic-laden cough syrup. Man, that stuff messes me up like cuh-razy. Anyway, yay, I’m better now and I’m completely not sick for the first time in a few weeks.
Last weekend I drove up to CSU to see my boy Colin. I hadn’t seen him since I left Chicago to come here. So I drove up Friday afternoon and arrived at his superfly crib. He’s got a nice big house with 2 roommates. One of them is 28 and has two reeeeeeally cute golden retriever pups, a mom and a son. So cute! I loved them. Heh, anyway… his roommate has a 60″ flatscreen HDTV! I saw it and it was like ::angelic chorus ahhhhhhh::. Soooo sweet. Colin had just bought an XBox so we set it up and played a LOT of Halo. I mean a LOT. It was freaking awesome. We are a kickass duo in all activities that we partake in. Sports, jokes, music, video games, whatever you got. Punk. Anyway, we went over to Tara’s (Colin’s girlfriend) house and chilled there for a little while. Tara has a dog named Sam who hates everyone for roughly the first month of knowing them. When I first walked in, Sam started growling at me and I’m like “What the hell is up with this dog? Relax, buddy…” and Tara explains to me how he is filled with angst and hate for everyone he doesn’t know. So I went to the backyard and jumped off the deck onto the trampoline and Sam jumped on there with me. He dropped his little honeycomb chew toy and I threw it to him about a million times. He stopped hating me so much and that was that. After going back to Colin’s and playing yet more Halo, we went back to Tara’s and partied(read: a bunch of Tara’s friends and their friends coming over and playing stupid drinking games while Peet drinks Mountain Dew and dances around and raps with Colin). Heheh… I did make Tara a pretty kickass mix CD that we played at the party that got it pretty jumpin’. I ended up sleeping on her couch and watching an EXPN special on Eito Yasutako(he’s a stellar inline vert skater)… it was siiiiiick. That kid is insane. Let’s see. The next day we went to the CSU Rams game. Go Rams! The majority of that day was the huh-uge tailgating party. The giant grass parking lot was packed with excited CSU students grilling up hot dogs and drinking and playing catch and stuff. If you haven’t figured it out yet, my favorite color is green. Well, their colors are green and white. I was in heaven… we were cooking up hot dogs and burgers, playing catch… surrounded by cute chicks in green shirts. Ugh, good times my Gees. Whew. The game? Suuuucked. CSU got pounded by Miami of Ohio. We left during the third quarter because of a really embarrassing play. The Ohio QB took the snap and scrambled for around 30 seconds. He just ran up and down the field and faked out about 8 CSU defenders… it was really sad. That night we went to Fort Fun and played Lasertag and raced some Go Karts. I kicked ass! I got first and I lapped two people. I was fishtailing all around every turn and hauling ass like crazy. So fun. The next morning I drove back to DU and it felt really good to be home… it was weird. My room feels like home for some reason. My bed is really comfy, my walls are now covered with posters… I love not having a roommate. I finally cleaned up my room and took some pictures. Here are two panoramics. Check em out… I made em into Quicktime VRs too. Yay.
