WOW. :-D

and THAT, ladies and gentleman, may have been one of the best nights OF MY LIFE.

granted, there have been many of those. but this one will be added to the list. all of the drama of the week just seems so insignificant now. and it should stay that way because i don't care anymore (at least about the blame that got thrown at me...funny...).

technically, it started last night, when chorus ended and i had my little campaign party at Sky Ranch while we waited for the fated phone call to come which said whether or not i was a SGA senator. Ben, Sara, and i came over right from chorus and we were eventually joined by Ann and Whit (who left because Ann was so sick...aw), Jenn, Natalya and her friend, this girl Erika who was in chorus and i never met but i LOVED, Nicole V., Rachel V. coming in and out, and Megan (with Shane circulating around and making annoying remarks about How The SGA Does Nothing...oh dear...). we ate and watched House, then switched to the vice presidential debate and when we got tired of that...more House (it was, after all, my night).

i practically hyperventilated at 10:30 and there was still no call and a million and one people texting me asking what happened. we left skranch so we wouldn't bother Shirley anymore, but we hung out in the Miley lobby until the call FINALLY came at
10:55...to tell me that i was an SGA SENATOR!! (yea..you prob heard us scream all the way from Miley). i was on the phone and AIM for prob an hour and a half, just spreading the news. i called Uncle Vin at 11:15...and he didn't care!

today started out with a whole bunch of hugs and congrats. my dad told Margaret all about the election and she emailed me to say congratulations :-) after econ i had lunch with Wifey, then Sara came and sat and then Nicole V. showed up and we were legit eating in Miley for an hour and fifteen. it was awesome. then i ran into Glynnis and pretty much spilled the drama of yesterday (that i heard from three different sources) to her. after we compared stories in skranch for a bit it was on to the next stage of the day...

Claire and i were going to Holy Smokes for her to get her cartilage pierced and for ME TO GET MY TRAGUS PIERCED!!!! AHHHH!!!! and Claire handled it like a pro..despite how nervous she was. i know how much blood is in your tragus...as out of nowhere my ear started bleeding after it was all done. but still, despite more pain than i intended for, a whopping $45, and blood on the seat belt in Claire's car...it looks AWESOME. came back to Salve, made more phone calls about the election, and went to Glynnis' dorm to go to Brick Alley for dinner. it wound up being me, Glynnis, Megan, Claire, and Claire's roomate Jenna, so we all fit in Glynnis' car. we didn't wind up going to The Brick due to the forty minute wait so i got to experience my third friday night in a row at the Red Parrot. but it didn't matter...it was still awesome. Glynnis just kept cracking us up and we ate so much dessert that we couldn't finish it...that's how big the desserts are at the Red Parrot. we got to experience Glynnis trying to parallel park with poor Megan directing her...and how city girls don't belong in the woods. Megan gave me this sweet little card for winning the elections, which is now hanging in my dorm. when we walked back to the car i started bitching about the long walk and apparently i'm from NY so i should be used to it...then Glynnis started doing the "tush and ankles" routine which was effing amazing. we went to Stop and Shop then drove back to Salve with "Walk It Out" blasting out the windows. we rock. end of story.

next stage of the evening...threw laundry in the machine, hung with Kalyna in her room while i waited for it, went down to Miley to give Shane his bday gift b/c his bday is on Sunday. we moped around and Dani was working in Miley Mart so we made faces at each other threw the windows (in true Wifey fashion..haha) i got a mini-tour of the back of skranch which smelled so badly that i almost gagged. and i noticed how Shane's intake sheet has "Sugar Sugar" programmed into the computer to read that, every time. i think i laughed about that for a good twenty minutes...we bummed around Miley Mart with Dani for another good fifteen minutes and Shane opened his gift, then he took me back to Young and we yelled at stupid people, the whole three minutes it took to get here.

i really should go to bed! i have a SGA retreat at 9am. shit...but i'm just way too happy and high on life!!!!
