Loser Party.

"Anyways Rob have a good weekend, I'm heading out."
"Where you heading man?"
"Uhhh well, it's sort of this party for the volunteers for Walkhome."
"Oh ok. Well have fun at your loser party."
"Yeah yeah. Free pizza. See ya."

I put on my sweater, leather coat and toque and head out to catch the bus. I'm on my way to this Walkhome party and award ceremony. I jog to the bus stop cause I am late and figure I don't want to miss the bus. I get there are there is someone waiting for the bus already. He is staring off at the distance opposite to the direction I'm walking. He stands there with his mouth open looking. I am kinda freaked out cause I'm not sure if he's looking at me or not. He turns around and starts kicking the post of the catwalk. I stand there trying to ignore this behavior.

I get on the bus and immediately make my way to the back of the bus and sit at the corner near the window. The bus rolls along and stop at Traill. Megan Davis, my walkhome partner, gets on the bus with another girl and Barb. So who is Barb you may be asking. I'll tell you. When I first came to this University in 2001, I could not get into residence because I was late in getting acceptance. So I was on a long waiting list. My cousin with high influence at Trent was able to get me bumped up, and when some girl left room A22 in Champlain. I moved in. That girl was Barb. Since then she's be notorious on campus as the weirdest girl around. Very loud and obnoxious to boot as well.

We get to campus thankfully, I was about to drill out my brains from them talking. I hold back cause I don't want to walk near them when I go to the party. I call up Andrew on my cell phone just outside the library to see if he's home. No answer. I look around and notice that there are not very many students at all right now which is odd at this time because a lot of students hang in the library til late hours doing big projects and assignments. I make my way to the Champlain senoir common room. I walk through the Great Hall to get there, all the chairs are flipped upside down and on top of the tables. The lone janitor starts to sweep the floors with the long brush broom. I stand in front of the door to the senoir common room and pause for a second and peer inside. Open the door and walk in. A couple people I don't know greet me and I nod my head in recognition.

The room is really dark because the lighting is very selective with lamps here and there. The couches on the far corner have big tan leather cushions that tower upwards giving the whole "L" shaped seat the impression that it's throne like. They have set up a pop and chip format on the tables until the pizza arrives which apparently comes in half an hour. I talk to Nick and Maekala. We joke around by ourselves away from the rest of the population. Nick was given the responsibility of taking photos for the head of security for a webpage somewhere. It was announced that the awards will be announced. People go up and receive prizes and awards it's pretty funny. That girl barb keep interupting the people speaking to say these out-there unfunny jokes. It's really getting annoying. "Ok and the best new volunteer for downtown is:" The girl says. Hey I wonder if it's me? "Matt-" and then she said someone else last name. Drat. Would have been funny if I got it cause I only did like six shifts total. Would have did more if Megan Davis did not exist.

So the pizza arrives and we all dig in. Nick finally ditched the camera and sat with me and Maekala. People are taking pictures of us. These two other people join us, Tom and Robin. Tom is a first year and really quiet. Robin is some 2nd year girl who wanted to join our end cause the other side is "crazy." We welcome them both. Nick and Tom have to go set up some trivia and Maekala leaves. So I end up sitting with Robin and chatting. We throw questions and answers back and forth, silence enguffs us inbetween thinking of things to say to each other. The trivia starts and so we just sit by and watch. I don't know any of the questions. When it ends we sit and chat a bit more until everyone starts leaving. I hitch a ride with Robin to Parkhill where she lives. She doesn't really know Peterborough so I figure I'll just go visit Kelly. As I exit out of her car I ask for her MSN which she gives me. That was the last that I've heard of her though, no idea why she'd give me her MSN and not add me.

So I just sit and chat with Kelly for a bit for our usual talk of girls and Adam's misdeeds.

Then I walked home.
