The End vs. The End Has No End

I wrote this on Monday, but did not post it until today.

I didn't go out all weekened because A. I was tired and overbooked all weekend, so I stayed in Friday and Saturday nights, and went to bed 5 hours before what has become my normal bedtime. Waking up early on the weekend is exhilarating. All the things that you can do in a day are really amazing.

On Friday nite after work, Ben V. and I rented a U-Haul and spent the next 4 hours picking up a couch at Discovery and delivering it my apartment. I have lived in this apartment since March and now I finally have a couch. This makes me so happy you have no idea. It's an Ikea couch that I got for free. It's not the best sitting couch, but it is a fantastic laying down couch. Good thing my roomie is itty bitty mini and we can snuggle up on it all winter long AND today I bought a new remote for my tv, which has had a broken remote for a year. So I am set for nites in front of the tv instead of in front of the bottle.

After couch moving, Ben and I ate chinese and attempted to watch Coffee and Cigarettes, but I was so exhausted from the couch moving that I kept falling asleep. And all I wanted to do throughout the whole movie was smoke and drink coffee. Movies about addictions, wow are those hard to watch or what?

I woke up early on Saturday, it was pretty dreary out, but it felt great to be up so early. I definitely overbooked my Saturday, but I did accomplish to go to the bank in Rockville, shop with Caroline and go to Cob's birthday dinner in Olney. I missed Crafty Bastards and I didn't go out, but luckily, I didn't miss anything there.

Sunday, I again woke up early and met the girls for brunch at Saint Ex. It was a beautiful day and we got drunk on Bloody Mary's and brainstormed. Soon I will post pictures of our lovely walk home through Meridian Park.

Sarah and I stopped at Hobart on the way home and got sucked into Blue Crush with Rob and Ivy. Finally, we made it home and started getting ready for a night with Ambulance and The Killers. I think getting ready was the highlight of the night for me, because suddenly I was too drunk to remember having fun. As soon as we got to the 9:30 club we headed to the bar and did some shots with the HOT bartender that Caroline somehow knew. There are pictures of this guy coming soon. I spent the whole first set pounding beers and doing shots. Then we headed downstairs to get a good spot for Ambulance, right between Benji and Marcus, my fav spot. I was so drunk and taking so many pictures that I can't even remember the setlist. They sounded great, but this was not the best show that I have seen. They seemed different at the 9:30 club. I always like seeing my fav bands at the smaller venues, it is more intimate and the crowd energy is always different.

After Ambulance, Sarah went off with M. and Caroline went her own way, maybe back to hot bartender, maybe off with another guy who works at the club. I went straight the the front center of the stage and somehow got trapped where all the frat boys were losing their shit. I had to punch and yell and elbow the entire set all while taking pictures (which actually came out good-I will post these soon-I swear) and dancing. And don't forget that I spent hours before this drinking, so I was drunk. The energy was great, but the crowd was horrible. I don't like spending the whole set being pissed off, but luckily I was drunk enough to get over it.

After the show, I tried to call Sarah so I could meet up with her. It ended up that someone had her cellphone that wasn't one of the people that she went off with so I had to freak out. I tracked down people from the band and asked them where she was and I was on like a roommate mission. Eventually, I found her, thanks to Benji. The band left, Sarah found her stuff.

We went to the Diner to get Caroline some food. DB was there and I was wasted and had to hug him and spend like forever talking his ear off. But he likes boys so we are over that. Caroline got pissed and walked out. Then somehow we ended up over at Toledo with D. people. and then I was just a mess, trying to make the red lights stop spinning.

For some reason, Sarah and I got in a fight on the way home. Probably cuz we were both mad cuz the boys we like are idiots. I almost got in a serious bike/pedestrian accident. A biker sideswiped me as I crisscrossed the sidewalk up Columbia. As soon as I walked in the door, I passed out. Amazing I woke up on time for work, I was definitely still drunk, but I made it to work on time and made it through the day and the week.

Today is my friday. Liz and I are going to NYC tomorrow morning for the Ramones Beat on Cancer Tribute Show with The Strokes and Sonic Youth. We are also planning to go to misshapes on Saturday nite.

But, right now I'm going to go down to Asylum now. Sarah works there now. And Jason is hanging out.
