I haven’t had a good Friday night for a long time. This weekend was a lifesaver.

Indie C and I were itching to do something, which turned into movie night. With Ajisen Ramen. And Magic Hat. To top it all off, the movie was fabulous, aside from the cliche’d ending. It was great to be able to relate to a movie so closely, and we had a jovial (yes somewhat saddenned) hypothetical conversation about how our own parents would react if we told them we were gay or pregnant. (Pregnant would go over so much better. Clearly the lesser of two evils in the eyes of an Asian parent.)

So I spent the last 10 minutes discussion a complex dilemma with Indie C and Nerdy B regarding my energy levels and whether or not I should try to make it to that Probability class (I know, 4th week of classes and I’m already trying to play hooky). When we finally decided that I should try to get to class, we had to explore other options of keeping me awake. It went down in a pretty ridiculous fashion…

Indie C: I think you should get coffee and go to class.

Me: Ok… but I’d hate to crash from coffee… and it’s like 6 o’clock already.

C: Well, then, just get some tea.

M: Tried that.. and I still almost fell asleep in Java. Why don’t I get decaf coffee?

Nerdy B: Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

M: No! I mean, I just want a little bit of caffeine, since I’m not used to it… there is still a small amount of caffeine in decaf! They can’t get all of it out.

B: Yeah, but I don’t think trace amounts actually count.

M: Well, I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine… and plus, placebo effect, hello?!

C: You’re trying to get caffeinated from decaf? That is so messed up.

Eventually, after more back-and-forths and me laughing my ass off because I’m stupid like that, I finally got some hot chocolate. Yum.
