Some of you are probably wondering where the hell I am. Well, I'm busy living it up cause goddammit, quals are over!! *cheers* Needless to say, I totally got shitfaced on Thursday. With the guy at the bar (incidentally also the manager) giving my group of friends free shots, some of which also had some Bacardi 151 in it, I'm amazed I'm still alive. After getting totally plastered on Thursday lunch, pretty much the rest of that day was gone. I tried going with my roommate to IKEA, but that failed mostly because his car won't start anymore. (We think it was the battery.) He doesn't trust me putting a new one in, so I guess it's off to the shop for him.
Friday was spent with me sleeping in, finally getting the rest of my M:TG cards in so the final touches of my graft and discard deck got put together (I still don't like that deck very much. It's very frustrating. It's not as fast as my saproling deck.), and then we managed to make it to IKEA to shop for everything that Andy's taking away when he moves. We ended the night by going to a small booster draft tournament. Pretty interesting. Most decks were "large creature" decks, and I figured I'd try to do something different by putting together a "creature/land destruction to buy time while I get some creatures out" deck. So, when the land destruction happened, I won. Which unfortunately, wasn't very often. Note to self: play creatures or direct damage in a draft next time.
The crew at the shop was pretty interesting. There were a couple of people who I pegged to be instant gaming-store stereotypes. And a couple others who looked like they walked out of an Old Navy/Hollister catalog, and those were surprisingly the best players. I guess they're the type of people who wouldn't even waste time with M:TG unless they were good. Really good.
Saturday was helping Andy move his stuff out, help Jeremy move his stuff into Andy's room, and have Ben move his stuff in. Lots of moving. Then poor Audrey had her going away party, and I'm going to miss her sorely. ;____; *sniffles* She's going back up to the Bay Area to happier pastures and being with the boyfriend, so I can understand how that may be worth escaping grad school for. Met her boyfriend's friends, and for the most part they seem pretty cool. I think I've probably found a new group to hang out with AX, judging by the awesomeness of their stories I think it'll be fun. :D Yay for making friends. Hopefully me and the "friend who doesn't live in the Bay Area anymore and actually lives down here" will keep in touch and maybe chill out once in a while. It's been a while since I've had an anime/video gaming buddy. Audrey's group is good for my nerdy socialness.
That said, I am going back home on Monday morning. Phew. Somehow, even after seemingly resting up for the past couple of days, I am still exhausted. See you all while I'm at home.
