Day 294: Torrie Bear’s Birthday

October 21st, 2011Today encompassed a variety of events both on campus and off, ultimately resulting in one of the best floor family reunions of all time. In the morning I worked at EHS before meeting up with Geetha at Price Center to exchange my bookstore Alumni Association coupon. I went back to work, and then went to Price Center in an attempt to try to install a font onto the computer. After failing, I went to Geisel to try yet again, succeeding this time. I rushed back to work afterwards to print those said fonts out, before taking them with me to Geisel to see if there were any SD card slots available. Sadly, there weren’t…. I proceeded to my class where I snapped pictures of the printouts while talking to both Brittney and Alexis. After class I met up with Tiffany Saw to use her computer to transfer the pictures from SD card to USB port. Geetha delivered me some delicious hot dogs as I proceeded to the Communications building to ultimately finish my COMT100 video project. I met up with Geetha afterwards to hang out for a short bit.
I went home waiting for Jessica Daggit to pick up her stuff. She didn’t, so I met up with Alexis at Whole Foods so she could buy me alcohol to give to John Torres for his birthday. We proceeded to Chipotle where I got dinner, I went home to pick up Tyler, and we proceeded to CVS so he could buy Torrie bear more alcohol. We went to his place shortly thereafter, and proceeded for a pretty casual party of fellow floor family as well as his work friends. (Kate, Thomas, etc.) The most interesting part of the party? Talking and catching up with Howard, Leah, Brittney, & Victor inside Howard’s room. Deep conversations while intoxicated are the best kind I must admit, not to mention shit talking. I snapped a picture on John Torre’s back as his picture of the day to ultimately make him a feature on my blog. As I departed his party he gave me a long hug saying how much he missed me, a truly epic moment in our friendship. At that point I truly realized how much I had missed living with Howard & John Torres. Sadly though, those times are gone, as me and Tyler proceeded to walk home. We tried to walk through the McDonald’s drive thru but the woman didn’t even talk to us so we went to Subway where Tyler got a delicious sandwich. When we got back home I ate noodles, chillaxed on the computer, and ultimately crashed like an angel to sleep.
