Phone and Fish

I just finished another four-hour phone conversation with Ben. Amazing how we can talk for that long, and I'll bet we could have talked even longer if we weren't so tired. It was great, we talked about religion, different customs, yet again about my family and daddy's disapproval (but my grades aren't dropping, daddy, I got a 94% in statics!) Ben told me a bit about what he was thinking on our first date and everything, it was very sweet, happy me is. Yup.
Today was quite busy. I woke up at noon, on the dot - funny how I manage to do that - I did that all summer too, just like clockwork, the moment those two hands lined up on the clock, my eyes would snap open. Creepy, sort of. I mooched around a bit and around 1:30 when I finally decided to go and brush my teeth and change, Rachel got up and checked on me in the bathroom to make sure I wasn't busy worshipping the porcelain god. We were out drinking last night, you see. Yes, I drank. But I just had wine coolers after that first beer tasted so bad that I nearly puked. I hate the taste of beer. Wine coolers on the other hand are YUM. So I like fruity soda, so sue me. It amuses me that after one beer the floor begins to sway. And after two more wine coolers, things get uber dippy. I didn't get all bubbly and giggly like I did last time though, how sad. Anyway, everyone woke up and we had pancakes a la Rachel, very delicious. And then I grabbed my camera and went out to do my homework. First I went to the art store and bought more conte (bistre or brun, just for Douggy C.) and then I got my mail and found out that in a couple weeks, IRON CHEF MORIMOTO is coming to CMU!! I need to get a free ticket and watch the master at work! And then I went to studio and realized I forgot my key, so I climbed out the window in the studio next to me, crouched down low on the ledge and crawled over into my studio window, (can't stand and walk or someone will start yelling, "Don't do it, miss! You have every reason to live!) and grabbed my drawing board. I'm getting really good at that, by the way. And then I went and crawled out another window, this time over the Maragaret Morrison rotunda and took photos as a patrol car rolled past. After seeing that, I scooched back into Maggie Mo and headed for the exit, hoping that the police person wouldn't come looking for me. Then I went to some of the sites and happened upon Hannah and Waz and we went photo shooting together, and then grocery shopping too. They bought lots of instant foods and frozen foods. I got a lot of raw materials. Can you imagine, I've managed to survive all semester without eating a single frozen dinner. That means I'm pretty good about cooking, no? And I haven't eaten out all that often either. Anyway, I made one of my mommy's fish casseroles and it turned out exactly like mommy's, I'm surprised it came out so well. I devoured about a third of it already. Must moderate or will become fat...
