Oxygen

I just got back from the oxygen bar at the Campus Center, where I was joined by Angela, Allison, Laurel, Casey, and Ariel. Frankly, it was not nearly as exciting as I'd hoped it would be. The experience more or less consisted of putting a piece of latex up your nose (much like the oxygen tubes used at hospitals) and breathing normally while manipulating various flavors to create refreshing scents. I was seriously looking forward to feeling it, like, in my head, but that did not happen. I would liken it more to the experience, perhaps, of sticking one's nose into a giant box of Otter Pops because that's pretty much what it smelled like for me. Ariel and I chose the "Relaxing" oxygen bar (with O2Gasm, Very Vine, Strawberry Fields, and something peachy-flavored), while Allison and Angela chose the "Energizing" bar, and Casey and Laurel the "Erotic" bar. After a couple people approached us to inquire about the after-effects of the "oxygen experience," I sort of wanted to pretend that I felt extremely fucked up from it all, you know, and start giggling a lot, stumbling about and maybe even calling people by the wrong name. Too bad there weren't any other opportunities to do so after the first bunch asked us, though, 'cuz I really would've.

Let's also discuss the fact that Casey dropped the word "minutiae" in our post-oxygen bar conversation on the walk home. Yeah, that was hilarious.

Also, to speak of another Casey, do you think Casey Affleck would like to marry me, maybe? He's just so cute, and I rarely find myself using that word, so it's got to mean something.
Ummm, and another thing that has been happening to me quite consistently lately that I have yet to mention is awkward encounters with people who I don't necessarily want to see. I won't comment any further about that except to say that it's a real shame when people are so immature and misguided that they somehow manage to justify fucking you over in such a way as to impose (daily) on your life in the most painful (if not awkward) and pointed ways - whether intentionally or not. I know I'm being vague, but I'm certain you'll know what I'm talking about if you talk to me on a somewhat regular basis. Ugh!

Also stupid? People who ditch their best friends for significant others. Ballsac.

And now, another take on our oxygen bar extravaganza from the lovely Angela Serratore as told to Matt Boese:

CACutie104: i would like you to know that jen, casey, allison, laurel and i went to the free oxygen bar that was set up at the campus center
CACutie104: and
CACutie104: because i am creative and resourceful
CACutie104: i managed to mix scents in a way
CACutie104: that smelled
CACutie104: EXACTLY
CACutie104: like cactus cooler

Speaking of Cactus Cooler, where the eff can you get it anymore? Seriously, it's the best carbonated beverage ever! We tried finding it this past weekend, like, the whole weekend, to no avail! So, please, if you know where I can find Cactus Cooler, let me know!

Oh, I forgot to tell you they let us keep the nose plugs from the oxygen bar. We plan on taking lots of inappropriate pictures with them. Casey even suggested I add mine to the "Sexy Nurse" costume my mother comically purchased for me on the occasion of Halloween 2004. That way it would be even more realistic. Ha-haaa!

I have a headache. Make it go away. Mmmkthxbyebye.

(I love you, a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck,
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap,
A barrel and a heap, and I'm talkin' in my sleep about you.
About you?
About you!)
