all in the name of free pizza

so, as you all know from my last post, not much was eaten by me today. which, in all reality, isn't such a safe thing. i found out that when you skip on the food intake, you could wind up in some embarrassing situations.

let me start at the beginning:

first of all, when i was at the campus organization fair, i was taking a break from the habitat booth to see what all was happening at the other booths. while making the rounds, i paused and just happened to look at the college republican booth, which is no problem, i do consider myself i republican even though i would rather not meddle with politics. but i did somehow, through the persuasion of a fellow member of the republicans (i think he should be a sales person...) manage to sign up to be on there email list. and thus, i was sent an email about a college republicans meeting, that was to be held somewhere in the union today and would have free pizza.

so after my enormous list of things to do, and after a presentation that left me in the biggest classroom our college has, by myself, instant messaging squeak and booty on the huge tv screen in the front of the room (no one was there...which reminds me...i didn't call them to come and shut down the room! o no...eh, it'll be ok)...all by myself, i went and dropped the laptop off at work and then thought...wow, i'm hungry...and there's free pizza somewhere in the union! so, i decided, i take a u turn in the hallway and then i head over to the union to find the college republicans meeting.

well, i get over there, and in one room, i find a bunch of people, and boxes of pizza on the table. so what do i do? i head in there, thinking i've found the meeting. it wasn't 2 seconds after i sat down that i realized that i was in the college democrat's meeting. not that there is anything wrong with that...except that i knew all these people...and that's not where i was suppose to be! so i did decide to stick it out, as i did have somewhere to be at 5, but i just felt...out of place. i'm sure they would have loved to have me join...but i don't know...it's just not my calling. but what i did hear was interesting and i'm glad i didn't just get up and bolt it out of there...besides that would have been rude. it's just funny that all i wanted was to hear what college republicans were doing and get some free pizza before i had to run again! so yeah, i didn't get free pizza. but as i did find out...there were quite a few groups there today with free pizza...but, lesson learned: when free pizza is calling...maybe you shouldn't answer...unless you know where you are going.

and that wasn't the only "mistake" i made today. i also mailed out my utilities bill to the credit union for my car loan and left my car loan check here for my roommate to send in for utilities. oops....i feel like such a doorknob.

so yes. people, lesson learned. please eat when you are supposed to, that means breakfast and lunch, because who knows what you may do...embarrassing moments are no fun...and stay away from that free pizza.
