Strange Awakenings

Well, I wasn't really asleep. I was about to go to sleep. I was sitting in front of the tv, watching the rest of "Milk Money" on television, with my little bucket of facial cleaning products, teeth cleaning prodects and hair brush sitting beside me when the door suddenly opens, me just about to go to bed. In comes Rachel and Evan, and two people - I've never seen them before. Totally bewildered is a good description for me. I was sitting around in my pajamas with a bucket next to me. And four drunk people suddenly come in. They start drinking water and one uses the bathroom. Evan sits in Rachel's chair and explains that they're all drunk. Matt or whatever his name is from Penn State (what on earth is he doing out here?) is smelling heavily of alcohol, sitting next to me on the couch holding a door handle talking about starting fights. Yes, bewildered. They start asking me what I'm watching. I tell them I'm watching "Milk Money." I surreptitiously tuck my bucket beneath the couch. I wonder if I left anything potentially incriminating or embarrassing in the bathroom. I wish I had completely washed the dishes, or maybe not changed into my pajamas just yet. I notice my panda sitting in plain view staring at the fire extinguisher and after a bit, a very tall classmate of Evan's - the bathroom user. I'm sure the panda was just as confused as I was. I think my eyes were very big. "5 minutes, just 5 minutes," Rachel assured me. I actually didn't mind all that much, they weren't really bothering me. I just kept thinking about what was in the bathroom. Also I was somewhat relieved Ben decided not to stay the night - drunk people seeing two people sleeping in one bed, I think that would be sort of embarrassing. I think tonight was quite strange and yet quite nice. I think I'll ask Rachel more about it later. I'm also wondering if I could spend time with Ben tomorrow, since he has the day off of work, and I only have a little homework. I need to go to Polish Hill tomorrow - I wonder how I'll get there. I wonder if Ben's interested in going. I wonder if I can actually find it. I wonder if maybe I should just harass my neighbors to give me a ride. I think I'm too tired. I think I'm babbling too much. I think this was a very strangely composed entry - but probably about the most interesting one in a while. Good night.
