Why is it the Underage Sick one that Always Missed out on the Fun?

I don't remember very much about last night.

Sure, I remember calling Anime Club to a halt early round 6:30 (I'm the interim president as Eric is going to Argentina for a term), and stopping in the 24 hour Computer lab for an hour or so because my laptop has been impossible all week.

But after that? Fuzz. Fuzz, fuzz, and more fuzz. I remember a little bit of stumbling home, and it being dark and cold out, and almost passing out on my doorstep. I remember trying to beat my lappy into submission and finally just shutting it off. I remember shoving a pot pie in the microwave and giving up on the idea of homework when I passed out on the couch in the middle of eating it.

Now, days and days ago Miki had invited me to go bowling last night, right? I figured that delirium was not a fun thing to add to the mix so I texted her to tell her I wasn't coming. Sometime after I fell asleep I woke to find that my dvd had frozen (lovely) and that Miki was standing there and her mouth was moving and I had absolutely no idea what she was saying.

Double lovely.

I have no idea what time it was. 9? 10? But eventually I realized that she was telling me that her phone had died and had I texted her or something? I told her that I couldn't go bowling cause I was totally out of it and she smiled and nodded and said goodbye and left.

Well that's weird, I didn't notice her coming in?

The next time I woke up was when she got back. Or more specifically when she came into the (lit) frontroom to find me lolling on the couch and started shrieking (at least that's what it sounded like to me) about me sleeping on the couch.

Totally abnormal, that. (insert sarcastic tone here)

And then I flipped open my phone to find that it was 4:30 in the morning! My poor little brain was really out of it, but I quickly realized that when she had left earlier she hadn't said bowling, she had said pub! No, Club!

"You went to a club?"

So I drug myself off the couch and tottered upstairs and she was bloody well wearing a silk frock! Wow she was so pretty. And nattered away whilst I tried to shove more cold medicine down my throat and then went to pass out.

Mikiko went to a club?

I woke up at 10:30 this morning. That's practically unheard of. Even on Sundays I tend to wake up at like 6 in the morning: It's so bloody annoying.

I woke up before Miki.

So even though I was still feeling just as bad I took advantage of the relative lack of dizziness and did some chores.

Now, yesterday the ATM didn't work so I broke some ones for Miki so that she could do some laundry, with my own money, right? I gave her four dollars which left 2 for me, and I had another one already in my pocket and one on the counter. I reached for that one on the counter this morning and it was gone!

So I fished out other quarters, tossed in the load, picked up plates and dishes, watered the plants, and then Miki came down.

With a 5 dollar bill to pay me back for the other 4 and then she asked if she could have 4 more quarters!

Okay, it's early. I'm sick. But I am not stupid. By my math she had already had 5 dollars worth of quarters from me. If she took another dollar, I'd only be able to do one load: so not fair.

But she just stood there with this expectant look in her eyes, 5 dollar bill extended, and all I could do was roll my eyes and give her the coins.

GRRR!!!!

I've been trying to do this load for 3 bloody weeks! I was hoping that since the laundry room was finally bloody well unlocked for me I could do more than one load!

Guess not.

And then she starts a conversation with this: "I got into a car accident last night."

I'm sorry WHAT?!

I think I missed something. Bowling, pub, club, where exactly did you go again?

A club. Called Peacock (no joke). In Corvallis. And one of the other guys going with them driving in another car crashed into the car that Miki's "escort" was driving. Miki calls herself the victim. And apparently the other dude didn't have his insurance with him and since he was the perpetrator he tried to run away.

*sighs*

So Miki went out drinking, dancing, and got into a car accident, and I missed out on it all not only because I was sick: but because I'm only 19.

Life is unfair, and she owes me a dollar in quarters =.=
