FUBAR for New Years

If you know what FUBAR means... I was FUBAR for New Years. If you don't know what it means, then look it up. It's an acronym... check out I'm FUBAR at www.imfubar.com

Gidit had a kick back at his apartment and Ludy and I went. We watched the end of Blades of Glory (FUNNY movie) while Kevin made me and Ludy a mixed drink. Ludy was already red within the first few sips because she's Asian and I'm not (or I don't have the typical alcohol Asian gene). Then we watched the beginning of Delirious with Eddie Murphy (haha, I watched this for the first time in college and still find it hilarious). We never finished it though because everyone had to take a shot of Goldshlager. Can you believe NO ONE had a shot glass with them? Gidti didn't have one so Kevin had to measure and estimate how much he thought a shot was. Goldshlager is sooooo good and cinnamon-y. And the rumor about the gold flakes cutting into your throat and stomach making you drunk faster is a myth: http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/goldschlager.asp

After that, I asked Kevin to make me another drink and he made one with Bicardi and Coke. Then right after that we all had to take another shot with Bicardi. That's when we all got crazy. Ludy started drunk dialing people and I started getting woozy and nauseous. I managed to crawl to the bathroom. Marci held my hair back and kept telling me to stick my finger down my throat and I told her I couldn't do that! I can puke without having to do that! I complained about the toilet having public hair to everyone. It finally came out... ugh. Anyway, that was puke #1.

Ludy drunk dialed a million people and I was almost passed out on the couch. Gidti took my phone away for some reason... like WTF? It wasn't like I was going to call anyone, but he was like, "Where's your phone? Give me your phone" and put it in his pocket. I'm not like Ludy. She's the drunk dialer. I kept bothering Gidti and Kevin and searched Gidti's pockets for my phone. Gidti kept telling me that he didn't have it: "I gave it back to you!" I was like "FUCK no. I'm not that drunk. I know you have it hidden somewhere." I wanted my phone back! I searched almost everywhere. Heather and Marci helped me look. They called my phone. Ludy drunk dialed my phone to help me find it... and now I have this long ass message with Ludy being drunk: "Cheryl... find your phone! Find your motherfucking phone now!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then later on, she's all like, "OH MY GOD! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo drunk!"

Then someone thought it'd be cool to get on top of someone's SUV. I was so drunk I didn't think I could climb up, but then EJ was like, "I'll help you up. You can do it!" So he gave his drink to Ludy, who started drinking/playing with it while I drunkenly struggled to get on top of the car and EJ let me stand on his hands and pushed me up. But soon after I got on, everyone wanted to take a freakin photo and I had to struggle to get down again. I lost my flip flop and EJ and I were looking for it all over the ground and in the car. We couldn't find it for some reason and I think it was like right in front of our face because we found it maybe 2 or 3 minutes later just lying on the ground.

Anyway, after the photo, I went back inside again. Again, I lay lifeless on the couch, wishing the nauseating feeling would go away, but it wouldn't. I complained and whined about not being able to find my phone again and Kevin reassured me that I'd get it back LATER. FUCK, I want it now! He then took my car keys away. WTF? It wasn't like I was dying to go back home or anything. I went to the bathroom a few more times because I felt like puking again, but it wouldn't come out. I'd sit on the floor in front of the toilet and feel so sick, wishing the feeling would go away! Finally, it came out (puke #2) and I started crying because I felt out of control and I didn't feel good. Ludy and Kevin saw me crying in the bathroom and came.

Ludy: Cheryl, why are you crying?
Me: I feel so sick....................... and I can't find my phone.
Ludy: Gidti has your phone somewhere.
Me: But I checked all his pockets.
Ludy: He probably hid it up his butt then.

Kevin and Ludy pulled me off the floor and gave me a hug. Then they told me that I had to go to bed. They led me to Gidti's roommate room and bed because he was out of town and told me to go to sleep. Ludy ended up sleeping with me too. I remember being cold and not having a blanket.

Me: It's so cold. I want a blanket. I can't go to sleep without a blanket.
Ludy told me later that she was thinking that I was spoiled.

I remember waking up a few times during the night and finding myself alone in the room. I don't know what happend to Lu, but I was so fucking cold. Gidti's roommate is really messy. There were clothes on the bed and I used them as blankets. Finally, when I woke up one time, I managed to find a blanket amongst the clothes and used it, but it was a thin-ass blanket that barely kept me warm.

I woke up around 7:00 AM and heard talking outside in the living room. I woke up and stumbled there and everyone was asleep on the floor or couch. They were like, "Feeling better?" And I was like, "No. I think I'm hung over" because I was still nauseous. Ludy told me that she wandered out of the room and locked herself out, but I was passed out so there was no way for me to hear her knocking. Haha... I guess I was the lucky one who got a bed and a room all to myself. I think I got the most sleep, which was like 6 or 7 hours (besides Gidti who slept in the comfort of his own bed and in his own room). Everyone else got the small, uncomfortable couch or floor. Kevin finally gave me back my phone and keys! Then we watched Chuck & Larry, then Made (on MTV) before going to Denny's.

Kevin, John, and Gidti suggested that I should eat carbs to help my hangover, but I was like:

"I want meat. I want a burger!"
Ludy: The girl wants a burger. Let her have a burger.

I ate my burger and finally felt a lot better.

I drove Lu back home, but then I had to drive back to the same area to hang out with my college friends because Anita is going to Malaysia for her Fulbright.

We hung out in Molly's apartment, where I dominated everyone in Apples to Apples. Then we played Cranium, which was fun, but my team lost (it's ok). We went grocery shopping and cooked spaghetti for dinner, which was amazingly good and it really hit the spot. Waaaaaaaaaaah!
