tailgaiting parties and other things i said i'd never do
This past weekend has been somewhat a change in the old routine. I actually had no freelance work to do and ended up planning for the future by attending a tailgaiting party for the A&M v. Tech game..(we lost...not that i went to the game). I'd never been to one before as my undergrad was more of a commuter school that consisted of many adults who were returning to school. That whole high school spirit mentality that is so prevalent here was pretty much non-existent. I definitely tell you though, I wasn't a total fit for the environment as I was a bit taken aback by some of the other tailgaters that were present. (including watching a guy throw up consecutively 4 times in a row after unsuccessfully dunking his class ring and being subjected to young women who basically shared one brain cell among themselves and dressed in the same trashy fashion. I say they shared a brain cell mainly because all they seemed capable of doing was to stroll up and down the park without purpose or personality. like the sorority borg..."resistance is futile, and so are we" should be their motto. Luckily, the party I was with consisted of mature individuals who didn't exactly applaud the guy who tossed his cookies after consuming so much beer at once, but rather watched in awe like a train wreck about to happen. All I can truly say is...ew. I may bring a camera next time. 
On another note, I'm trying really hard to make heads or tails of certain events that have happened in the past week. granted, this was better than last week but i'm not quite sure of the total consequences of my actions in that I stood up for myself to a couple of people. i even shocked myself actually,but as I'm not used to anyone including me standing up for me I'm dealing with the ramifications of it. But I guess no one is worth having if you have to give up yourself in the process. And anyone who does ask for that or treat you as such may not be worth it either. Still sometimes the heart doesn't always get that right away.
