Weekend Review

Before I tell you what I did this weekend I have to gush about my new crush. He plays Joe Vegas in FAME! and he is an atrocious dancer, but he wears cute glasses and has a sexy singing voice. Plus he is a nice Jewish boy and I just plain love nice Jewish boys.

Thursday: Went to a surprise birthday party for one of the Dance Group Freshmen. Me and another Dance Grouper were the only drunk people, which is pretty typical for us. As we sat around waiting for the girl of the hour to show up, my new crush walked in. Turns out the party was being held in his suite. I eventually sobered up and hung out with him and his roommate when the other partygoers left. I kept telling them that if they wanted to go to bed I would leave, but I guess I was charming and attractive enough to hold their attention. At 4:30 I finally asked if one of them could give me a walk home. The idea was to get some alone time with the crush, as I live right across the well-lit street from their dorm building, but the area between my lines was not read and they both walked me back.

Friday: Dance Group went out for Vietnamese food and brought two jugs, that's 8 liters, of wine to wash it down. After dinner, half-full wine jugs in tow, we stopped by to give birthday hugs to Buddy's roommate, then walked on to a Dance Group boyfriend's [any guy that dates one of us is basically dating all of us] apartment to play Rock Band. A couple of us, including myself, had never played before and alternated being fascinated by the game and freaking out thinking that we had broken the mic or instruments somehow. Once the wine was gone we parted ways. I went to see D with my girl who likes him, but left them a short while later to follow Lipring and a group outside to smoke up. I'm not sure what happened to the weed but we decided to go to the bar instead. On the walk, a girl I had just met pointed at Lipring and said "So that's your boyfriend?" to which I replied "Oh, God, no!" As soon as we got inside I split from Lipring to catch up with a couple guys I hadn't seen in ages. When the lights came on I had those couple guys from the last sentence walk me home and passed out happily by myself.

Saturday: In the afternoon I went to "cast bonding" for FAME! Imagine the 10 most awkward 18-25-year-old virgins you know making video game references [aka theater people] playing old camp games with 5 normal people [aka myself, my crush, and 3 others] and you'll know how those 2 hours were. I felt a little sexual tension between my crush and me, but it could have just been in my head.
Later on, two Dance Groupers and I smoked up and watched the Planet Earth episode about jungles. They left to find other things to be awed by but I chose to stay in, putting on sweatpants and staring at the tv until I got a call from a drunk boy who might be in love with me. He told me he was coming over and buzzed in 30 seconds later, followed by his drunk roommate, his roommate's drunk girlfriend, my annoying drunk flatmate, and his drunk friend. I wanted to just keep on looking at the tv, but this guy entwined himself with me. He kept kissing my shoulder and trying to hold my hand, which was annoying, but I couldn't handle it when the idiot and the roommate used the rest of my birthday Bacardi to cook hot dogs and didn't even ask if I wanted one. Rather than get into a stupid fight with drunk morons I locked myself in my room and went to sleep.

Sunday: I had rehearsals 2-9. Dance Group is almost done with our Spring show corps piece, and our adviser came to begin teaching a modern piece. Then at play rehearsal we learned the dance for "There She Goes/FAME!" During the dance break I'm supposed to partner my crush for some awkward "sexy" salsa-ish dancing. He wasn't there tonight, but I wrote a flirty comment on his facebook wall letting him know that he was my partner.

I've got another too-long/too-short week ahead of me. Wish me luck.
