One For The Thumb.

Whoop whoop! Steelers won the Super Bowl! It was a very interesting weekend... Let me enlighten you.
Friday: Amish class from 9-10. Yes, I have a class about the Amish. I then proceeded to do NOTHING for the rest of the afternoon. Friday evening, I attended a very interesting party in Cara & Julianne's room. I played a few 'games' while drinking my new fave, a 'creme soda.' The problem with a creme soda is that I could drink it all night long, ha ha. I stayed there with those crazy girls and their respective boys for a few hours and headed up to bed when they headed out to go dancing at the Underground. (Never have I ever danced at the UG...).
Saturday: Up BRIGHT and EARLY at 7:30am to drive to Columbus. Since the girls I was riding with were at the party the night before and had gone out dancing, I got the early shift of driving. In the pouring down rain. In an unfamiliar car. Wonderful. And, since we had all gotten less than enough sleep, it took us more than a few miles to realize that we should have gone the 0.1 miles that Mapquest said it would take to get to the center off the exit ramp. Soooo... we finally arrived, 25 minutes late. See the Relay for Life Collegiate Summit post for more info. I don't really remember what I did Saturday night, thought I'm pretty sure it involved me watching TV alone in our room, being exhausted from the day.
Sunday: I got up at 9:30, and was headed home by 10. Why, you ask? Well, I just couldn't stand being so close to Cleveland for the Super Bowl, with people who didn't care one way or the other!! So... I headed to the motherland, back to Pittsburgh for a party with B's friends in South Oakland. Two hours/100 miles later and I was home. I took enough time to have lunch and bake a football-shaped, chocolate-iced cake and was headed to da 'Burgh. One hour/50-ish miles later and there I was. In the land of the Black-n-Gold. It was so nice to be somewhere that everyone was rooting for the right team, ha ha. We headed down to South Oakland, after winding through the labyrinth they call Pittsburgh. Arrived to Pete, Amy & Ketter's apartment. And there I was, in the land of the band. And yet I still didn't feel totally out of place. In another situation, these would be my people too. We went through the game, copious amounts of Iron City, Yuengling, and Rolling Rock were consumed. I had my first whole beer, a Rolling Rock. It was not the best idea I ever had... it made me sick but I think the heartburn from Antoon's Pizza might have contributed there... The real festivites started after the game, after the WIN, I should say. :D We went outside with the rest of the (drunk) crew. I got a little scared (being a country girl myself). Some one shook up and sprayed an Iron City pounder bottle like champagne. There were hugs all around (winning the Super Bowl makes friends of all...). There was an instance of a table being busted up and dragged outside to be burnt in the street. There were fireworks in the street and lots of yells. However, the most nerve-wracking part was when I walked outside and instantly heard the choppers up above, scanning the ground below watching for fires and dangerous mobs. It was seriously like something out of a movie. B & I headed back in after not too long, it was FREEZING! (The others didn't seem to mind...). We were watching the Channel 4 news and they were like "there aren't too many problems except for a report of a couch fire in Oakland. See exhibit A. I think that about sums up the evening.
