Party, WooHoo!

Last night was Colleen's 21st (midnight) birthday.

What a night.

The night started with Colleen sharing a Qdoba meal with me (which reminds me, hunger strike time, read here). Afterwards, we have random fun in Ben Franklin and driving around a few places in BG before settling down to start the night. Thanks to people bailing at the last minute, the night's participants were cut down quite quickly.

What I have feared for a few weeks turned out to be true, as no bars in BG will take a still-vertical state ID. Looks like we'll be getting her a new one soon enough.

After hanging out (and drinking) at Colleen's place, we made way to a friend's place of hers in town. It was a sweet (apparently Wendy's-only club) party with some hilarious people. I didn't tell her last night, but it seems Wendy's people throw way better parties than Meijer people. I certainly think so, anyway.

After arriving home at a super-late 4:30am, I crashed.

I was planning to stay the night with Colleen, but a Lacey-related situation made my own bed necessary. I just can't sleep well in a strange place when I'm stressed.

The good news, it seems, is that I won't have to be stressed anymore, as "cold-turkey" is the only way to describe the conditions between Lacey and I. I have been letting go of the past, and after realizing last night that she lied to me over the last few months, there's nothing I can do to heal old wounds. However, I am looking forward to closing that chapter of my life as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, another chapter is starting to begin, and it's starting on a bad foot... it almost always does when you like a friend... as more than a friend...
