brainfart

I know I haven't posted in the past few days... Just to give you an idea of how busy I've been, in yesterday's simulation newspaper, the weather forecast said: "69° / Partly Cloudy. Really, does it even matter anymore what the weather is? It's not like we actually go outside..."

Today, which my professor declared as "Spring Break," I slept in and did nothing. In the simulation, a day is pretty much a week--since it's a 3 week class.

It's really bad when you say things to someone you care about that you don't mean to say (when you're drunk)... It's been quite stressful and time-consuming being the President. While I do wish that I could do more (like actually sit down and negotiate with senators and representatives on the things they want...and get my way), I can't imagine it. I've been making crucial decisions as the president, and surely, it's difficult when your staff has differing opinions. Anyway, it's great...

As a release, I've been (what do you expect) drinking. Besides the fact that we do have to raise a ton of money ($540,000, in fact) for the election campaigns of House and Senate GOP's--Republican for "Grand Old Party," I just learned--and go to bars for such fundraisers, I've also been having a number of good drinks:

• long island
  
• jameson + ginger
  
• jameson on the rocks
  
• 99 Blackberries
  
• irish car bomb
  
• hennessy + coke
  
• courvoisier + coke
  
• blue moon
  
• ...

I probably spent about $400 in the past week on alcohol--this is scary. Regardless, let's get to some brainfarts, which my cousin (a writer) defines as things that come out of your brain that you can't stop, like a fart out of your ass.

Number 1: a phone conversation with a really good friend, where I say, "I wanna have sex"... This was what I spoke of earlier. Drinking alcohol isn't good when you get super drunk and start drunk dialing. Anyway, I'm sure that she knew that I was super drunk--she ended up just saying that she had to go. Whoops--sorry, hunny. I know you love me though. =)

Number 2: talking with a staff member (a classmate), who asks about a girl that I work with heavily and starting rumors about who she likes. =/ Annie stopped me and gave me a dirty look--thanks, "mom."

Number 3: Annie--just as my Santa Cruz folks would do--took my wallet away from me, particularly after I had 3 drinks last night--the bartender ended up giving me a bunch of free drinks (last night and the night before that) since I've been at the same bar for at least the past 3 nights... This can't be good.

Number 4 (a brainfart I've been able to hold in): HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!...though I know that it's on the day of our final, I look forward to your party tonight. I didn't go to NYC, just for you!!!

Number 5: Jen, I'm sooooo jealous that you saw Raul Midón.

Onto business, I'll be back in the Bay in less than 1 week!!! I'm super excited and need to start making plans. I do imagine, though that there'll be a bunch of family fun days, which I miss dearly.

One plan I do have set: Yes, Sai, we're on for Wicked, but I wonder if there's more you might wanna do--wanna spend the day together?

forty5 more weeks, babee!! Starting the job search.
