months of living in china finally caught up with me.

so saturday night we went out for gwyn's birthday. we decided to go to tepenyaki followed by d club as that made for some successful birthday celebrations in the past. dinner was delicious as always (but deceptively so...). i also decided to take advantage of the all you can drink white wine again, which i've been avoiding since kiki's birthday in september (as those of you who have seen me on two bottles of mattie's perch can probably understand). aside from the fact that i stopped drinking at around, oh 10:30 and stayed out until, oh, 3:30, the night is pretty fuzzy. at some point i decided to take off the jeans i was wearing under my dress (as it's fucking winter again out of nowhere) and prance about in my 5 inch heels and shiny nights, looking like quite the tart i'm sure. kate and i also went into some random bar on our way to get a taxi to go home because we saw a cute boy. the cute boy disappeared almost immediately and we stayed there talking to 3 thirtysomething year old men about god knows what. all i remember is that one of them was from evansville, in where my mom is from. also, i may or may not have stolen a pack of cigarettes, a beer, and a koozie from these men. i say may or may not, because i actually don't know. two of each of these things kept appearing beside me, and i'm not sure if they were intended for me or not, but i would slip them in my purse or pocket regardless. well, aside from the beer. i just drank that straight out. anyways, overall it was quite a fun night. 

sunday i woke up rather hungover and feeling like death. i attributed this to the white wine. i lounged all day until dinner, when me and jess decided to take a cab to and from mcdonald's cause we were too lazy to walk the 30 minutes it takes to get there. these are the nights when i most miss pizza delivery. anyways, after dinner i'm still not feeling well and decide to go to bed. around midnight my stomach is really hurting, and i'm still attributing it to hangover. wrong. i will spare you the details, but it was the worst food poisoning i've ever had in my entire life. i didn't eat for two days and even drinking water made me want to vom. to make things even better, when i finally got over the nauseous thing, my sore throat was back with a vengeance. i finally had like half of a real meal today and am quite proud of myself. 

anyways, i'm gonna make myself study chinese and apply for jobs now. i wish i had had to apply for these jobs while studying chinese in college. maybe then i would have actually tried a little bit. haha, ok, nevermind. but still, this sucks.
