It's 11:30 on a Thursday night. I had an exciting night of getting lost driving to the dollar theater and watching "I love the 80's Strike Back"...what could possibally top all of this off? A drunken phone call from Nick...I don't even want to know how drunk this boy way, but I don't think I have ever been so entertained. Okay, first thing is that I answered my dorm phone and all I hear is some male asking where Patrick is. I don't know who Patrick is...I just assume it's a background statement before they talked to me...but this voice asks again, rather frantic actually. And then I realize who I'm talking to...but he doesn't know who he's talking to. The poor boy is at the frat house trying to find his friend so he can paint. Have you tried looking in the house for Patrick? No, but he saw him go in there. Well, have you tried calling Patrick or his big brother? No... I let him know that I really couldn't help him because I don't know Patrick, and Nick wants to know who he's talking to...It's Caragh honey...go call Patrick and call me back when you find him. About 2 minutes later, Nick calls back. Did you find Patrick? No, he didn't answer his phone. Then Nick asks me why I called him...umm, no you definitely called me! You know you are too drunk when you can't remember drunk dialing 5 minutes after the fact. So Nick is just trying to find Patrick to get the paint to paint their frat paddles, because Tech just won the Maryland football game and this is his only free time. Well after dissuading him from trying to kill several Maryland fans, (Jail isn't fun Nick. Oh, this other pledge was just in jail, but that's okay...Nice frat really...) I ask him if he talked to other brothers to find out where Patrick is...and the first one who he asks points out Patrick 10 feet away in the frat house...Am I this bad when I'm drunk? I hope I'm at least this entertaining when I call...All I know is I can't wait to see what a mess those boys create when they try to paint tonight...I'm invisioning a new hair color for each of them...maybe even a Michael Jackson skin tone switch depending on the size of the paddles they must paint... 12:10...Nick called back...He's walking back from the frat house with Shane and he wants to say "What's up?" So I ask him if he finished painting his paddle...no one has ever switched into a state of confusion so quickly...He had no recollection of calling me the other 2 times, and I can guarantee that when he (hopefully) wakes up to take his test tomorrow morning, he won't remember calling me the third time either...But he just wanted to have a chat, so I talked to him while he snuck into the dorm and past Kai, the poor guy he had impeached from Hall Council President's office last week...I kinda wish they had a run in, I would have loved to hear what Nick had to say to him when he couldn't figure out what was happening! So then Nick gets to the lobby and realizes he must go to his room. But he doesnt want to go into his room, because "then his roommates will wave their fingers and him and make him fall down." Why did I not get drunk with this boy in high school? This is the juvinile entertainment level that would have kept study hall laughing for weeks...Oh well, so I convince him to go to his room, and when he walks by, the head of all of Resident Life is in there eating pizza with 10 people. Nick ran away fast. When you are living on a FYE hall, it's not a great idea to be caught drunk...especially not by the head of all of Resident Life. Anyway, he came up with the master plan of calling his room and seeing if she was still there...I'll let you know if there's another phone call tonight, but I'm hoping for the sake of his hangover tomorrow, he will just pass out now... No luck there...I've been talking to Nick online and after all the initial what's up, you confuse me, etc. he decides he needs to shave. This time I called him, though he won't remember that in the morning either...I feel like a regular Mother Teresa with my good deed, making sure he wasn't really shaving in such a drunken state...But now I'm going to bed, so if you read some tragic headlines tomorrow of a Tech student who died from a slashed neck, please know I tried... So in the respect of privacy laws and all that, I'm not including our IM conversation as "proof" of just how drunk Nick was...I don't think he'll believe me. But I can post his away message last night because that is viewable to the general public...enjoy. "Rock a by Nicky as he sleeps deep, when the sun rises he'll still be alseep, when it is noon he best be awake, for Nicky has a pop quiz that he should be cake (sung to rock a by baby)" |
