Day 1: Thursday.
Smart people got in IV on Thursday to avoid all the police blockades and checkpoints. Lots of loud music and daytime beer pong, nothing out of the norm, cept it was like, weekend level of craziness on a weekday.
I spent my afternoon registering for W10 classes and driving all over Goleta to track down my package cause USPS was too lazy to ring my doorbell to deliver it. I was home at the time too. I hate USPS.
I actually planned on getting some work done that night. Didn't happen. I ended up going to Japanese club party.
Wifebeater + sweats + hat + hoodie = no one got my costume.
Beer pong, some shots of all sorts of whiskey, more pong, then more shots of some vodka, then some more shots of dark stuff... I think. No buzz, at all, but it was enough to knock out a roommate and housemate, and black out other roommate.
There were enough people walking around at night to make it impossible to drive around.
Day 2: Halloween eve!
Drove to class in the morning, bought a day pass, and left my car locked away on campus for the rest of the weekend.
Took a fatty nap in the afternoon instead of doing programming. Ditched lecture, even though I drove, and went to section, and it was like, the next building over right after section.
Pregamed like 5 shots with the house. No shots = no buzz.
Decided to screw the hoodie, and wear a beanie instead of a hat = "OMG I didn't recognize you, you're kinda scary, do something!" Hell no. I could barely do any dancing while sober, and you want me to do it with some alcohol on piss nasty floor. At least they got the costume. Freezing cold the whole night though.
Crashed PAPhi party, no DJ, no outside music. Took shots till they dried out, then just had a bunch of beer. Swigged some friend's personal handles, and got handed some more beer. Still no buzz.
Went to Zeta house to say hi to some friends. I accidentally hit some girl, I don't think I know her, or I just didn't recognize her. I don't know. Too dark. Funny part is my friend said she found a huge bruise on her arm when she woke up, then blamed someone else. Hmm..
Then crashed at a sorority house on DP. They made us food. :D
DP is the usual craziness. Waves and waves of people and tons of cops and big lights. On the walk there every intersection had like 2-6 officers pulling people (usually visitors. Seriously, they stand out) aside for sobriety tests.
The only cars on the road were taxis, the Domino's delivery car, and cops. All other cars got pulled over the moment they pass a checkpoint (pretty much every intersection). Outsiders usually do not know how to drive here. You don't swerve around people, you're supposed to stop. Swerving = "look at me! Write me up for DUI".
Day 3: Halloween.
Bunch more people came during the daytime, driving around looking for parking. Saw a M3, if it parked anywhere in the direction he was going, I'm sure that car's worth nothing now. Money can't fix stupid.
The house never looked this clean. We had two ghetto closet door beer pong tables set up, and covered most of the floor with plastic. Everything that wasn't a chair or a table got shoved into a closet or another room.
When I say ghetto closet door beer pong tables, I seriously mean ghetto. They're like, closet doors rest on cardboard boxes/chairs/books/5gallon water bottles/whatever happened to be in our living room and tall enough.
Didn't even bother dressing up. Too cold. I just threw on a shirt and some jeans.
Friends came, and brought friends, and we ended up having a bunch of people in the house. Went through two 30 packs of beer, some more beer, and a bunch of random wine coolers and stuff.
How we got the beer was a pretty funny story too. We had our over 21 friend buy it, other people asked her to get them beer too. They wanted her to buy eight 30 packs and she couldn't push the cart. Everyone ended up getting carded and no beer. So they all headed to Vons and she had the courtesy clerk grab all of it and push it out for her. Vons > Albertsons.
Oh, and we got Bud Light instead of Coors, cause I wanted Coors (imo, the better cheap beer), but I lost a beer pong game against the Bud Lite people, so we were stuck with nasty Bud Lite. Friend brought over some (even cheaper) Milwaukee's Best, and even that was better than Bud Lite.
Our neighbor/manager dropped by and gave us some sangria before they headed out to mess with the visitors at DP. Good stuff that sangria. One of them was dressed in full tree camo (like, when he stood still he really looked like a tree), he said he had tons of fun just jumping out at people from the dark.
When we headed out, I swigged 1/3 of a fifth... by myself, cause everyone else was already drunk off beer. Then took a few more shots.
Headed out to Lambda house. Same thing really, indoor music only, way too many guys, not enough alcohol, and everyone got thrown out at midnight. Took some shots here too.
Actually got lightly buzzed after that :D Only took alcoholic status to get there.
Chilled at Zeta house afterwards. Lost a roommate here. So then we ran around everywhere looking for him. He got thrown out of the Zeta house last time we were here, so he might've gotten killed or something. Turns out he managed to get back home and knock out.
So we all headed back. Buzz kill. That pretty much concluded Halloween weekend.
Our neighbors complained about our parking all weekend. We parked on the inside, and our friends parked on the inside, and they complained. What, so now you want to park on the inside after all the times you park in front. Then they wanted to tow our friends cars cause they're not tenants or whatever so they could have space for their friends to park. I'm gonna kill those bitches one day. Oh, and we pretty much said fuck you and everyone parked whatever for the weekend. The great part was after Halloween, they backed out of the inside, and parked on the outside. I'm gonna kill those bitches one day.
I was the only car left on the top floors of the parking garage. I guess everyone else got towed, or they parked in the garage I was supposed to park in (I parked in the lot that was only to be parked in when all the other lots filled up). Yes, people got towed, for not activating their permit, or not updating their permit, and stuff like that. Tow company made major $$ this weekend. When I was driving my car back, some guy though it would be a great idea to reverse out of a parking lot, onto a 7 lane road, at the intersection, in front of a police car. Loser couldn't even get to the next block before he got pulled over.
All the cars left on the street on Sunday morning had one or more of the following conditions: dents, broken mirrors, broken windows, scratches, a bunch of penises drawn on them, or it was missing altogether.
House smelled like alcohol morning after too. Nasty smell. Everything was sticky too. So wiped down everything, and disassembled one of the beer pong tables. Someone took my flipflops, so I went out and bought another pair. Took out the trash. Moped and wiped down everything. Hosed down the trash cans. House has never been cleaner.
So once again, Halloween was crazy, but not that fun. I also further established that I'm the alcoholic of the house... it's just sad when you're the tallest and lightest person in the house but can still drink more than everyone.
I'm still a bit hungover, I think I'm sick cause I keep sneezing, and I have this super confusing programming assignment to finish by Tuesday and instead of working on it, I'm updating before I forget. Horray!
Oh, we still have a mini-keg of Heineken left. Good stuff.
