it's been a year for so many things.
i want to go back so badly. i want things to be normal. i want things to be right. i hate this. i hate pretending.
did you know there was a fascinating kangaroo farm in dawsonville?

snow in march pt. 2
after all of the auctioning went on, i went off to talk to someone - i don't really know who. i just know that i wasn't around my friends when this went down.
weird thing #2
stephanie, kayla, jason and jack were standing around talking about how awesome the jason-reese bidding war was, and up walks up reese to talk to them. jason was standing with his back to him, and said, "i hope that fucker doesn't come up to talk to us." lo and behold, he does.
"so that was crazy, huh?" reese said to no one in particular.
"are you really going to take her out on a date?" stephanie asked.
"who, alyssa? yeah, i won her, didn't i?"
and jason just walked off after that.
"don't i know you from somewhere?" reese asked kayla.
"um. no."
after we were done, the five of us went down to marietta diner to enjoy jason's $200 dollar surplus since he didn't actually buy anyone. dinner was delicious, of course, and kayla and jason got to know each other better.
when we were done, i drove everyone back to campus and i went to the party. when i walked in, noah was playing pool with a couple other guys, including josh. noah acknowledged me, but nothing more. josh looked excited that i was there. me and josh ended up talking the entire night. marc and john finally got back to their house and they looked excited that i was there (maybe because of my dress?).
the best part?
jesse was there.
weird thing #3
i walked by jesse three times before he finally recognized me. he was high as a kite. i could smell it off of him. it was bad.
"hey."
"hey, jesse, how are you?"
"i'm good."
pause
"how've you been?"
"alright. a lot of school and work. that's why i've been so busy."
"you should come down more often. i'm here because my job."
"yeah, the burrito place, right?"
"yeah." he laughs. "great munchie food. i go in high all the time. all i wanna know is when i can eat."
"that's great, jesse."
and then he walks off. just like that. josh saw the thing go down, so he was probably wondering what the hell happened.
anyway, after an hour or so there, i decided to leave since i was exhausted from today, and josh walked me to my car. it was really sweet. he offered a piggy-back ride, and i declined (hopefully respectfully).
that was the auction.
yesterday was march 1. it snowed. non-stop for four hours. i was at work for 12 hours. i made a mere $80. now, the county i live in usually gets snow once a year, which is nice. i live in north metro atlanta. SOUTH atlanta got snow. athens got 7 inches of snow. last time i saw 7 inches of snow, i was in chicago, illinois. uga was canceled. i, on the other hand, still had class.
awesome.

snow in march. brilliant.
yeah. i know it's been a while since i've written anything. oh well.
last weekend was crazy. i haven't been doing a lot of campus events because i'm usually working during the interesting ones, which is basically anything on a friday night. i was part of a date auction at KSU that was a part of LINK organization. i didn't actually sign up to be a part of the auction. my friends were in charge of getting people to sign up, which basically consisted of her signing people up and then informing them that they are now a part of the date auction.
so when i showed up in the student center, i was nervous. i'm pretty confident about myself, and i like doing things that lets me meet new people; college has done this to me, but i had no idea what was going to happen tonight so i was nervous. i was wearing my new striped dress and my cowboy boots, and i know i looked okay (okay, that's a lie - i knew i looked good). when i walked in, the two girls i knew who were in charge were there, and they were talking to another girl who looked twice as nervous as me. this girl, who was wearing a very cute dress and was walking around barefoot. we both realized we were a part of the auction, and we started with small talk, "how did you get roped into doing this?" "isn't this crazy? i would never do this on my own" and stuff like that. finally, we put our stuff in the back room and when the other girls were talking, traci, the other girl in the auction, goes, "so i'm going to call reese and ask him to come." and chassity and brittany, the girls in charge, agree.
wait. they agreed in a way that they know him.
reese. that name is not common at all.
"reese holman?" i ask. they turn around.
"yeah, you know him?" traci even looks hopeful. like we'll BOTH save her from doing this.
"unfortunately," i manage to say because i'm trying to compress my laughter as much as possible.
we continue to the room and more auctionees are here, so we're all mingling and talking to each other.
weird thing #1
i'm talking to this guy named noah and he's talking about this party going on afterwards. he invites us all, and then says, "it's right behind the social science building, down a little road."
"wait. frey lakes road?"
"um, sure?"
"who's party is this?"
"trey. you know him?"
"yes, yes i do. i know all those guys at that house. i work with two of them."
"sweet. i better see you there."
"alright, i'll stop by later."
anyway. my friends get there and we mingle a bit, and then my friend jason and his friend jack come along, and things got awkward. after the auction finally starts, all of the auctionees are standing out in the side room to walk out in front of the room and the buyers.
i finally walk out and the bidding starts. it gets up to $12 and reese starts to bid. what the fuck? really? i mean, really? then jason turns and sees it and starts bidding. and off starts the bidding wars. i look at jason and mouth 'stop.' he gives me a funny look and then stops. reese wins me.
fucking reese holman fucking wins me. that fucking dickless bastard.
then another boy comes out, then traci. and that's where the fun begins.
reese starts bidding right away, determined to win his friend and save her from the creepers in the audience (which were none. no one showed up). then jason starts. then it gets up to $30. then $4o. then $50. everyone is turned to look at who keeps outbidding reese. the orange-haired kid? oh goodness. jason won't stop. it finally gets up to reese holman, who last bid $80 dollars. everyone watches jason to see if he'll bid more. he doesn't. reese wins with $80. everyone is in shock. and jason is content.
after traci, i bid a couple dollars on everyone, just to do it. but then, i do that and no one out bids me. i win a boy as well. who is this boy, you ask? his name is josh. and he's from etowah (again) and he's a wrestler (again, i know) and he's shorter than me. we're going out on tuesday. so we'll see how that goes.
and this will be continued later.
