Thread: My life is ridiculous

Not sure whether this is a rant or constructive advice getting, but here's what happened yesterday.

One of my universities had it's Oritentation Day today. For those who don't know, this involves large numbers of stalls for various clubs and organisations on James Oval and a concert on the nearby Guild lawn. So after wandering around the stalls for several hours getting club memberships (for the parties, duh) and buying tickets to events. People head over after 3pm for the concert and/or mass tavern drinking but the concert is $25 so I need to know how many of my now hopelessly scattered friends are inside and how many are just drinking at the Tav.

So I'm walking around the outside looking over the fence to see who I can see and this girl grabs my ankle from under the fence. I look down and she says hi slightly nervously. We talk for only a few minutes because you're not really supposed to talk through the fence and security gets antsy very fast. She spends most of that time trying to convince me to come inside, but by now I'm pretty sure most people are at the Tav. I got her name and number, but she'd lost her phone a few days earlier but was going to get a new one with the same number. I gave her my number on a bit of paper and was told to Facebook her.

Awesome, hot girl who's obviously very into me. Of course there's a catch. I get home late last night and I can't find her on Facebook. FUCK. So either she has to get a new phone with the same number real soon or she has to man up and call me herself. Not likely is it? FML.

So after that I go to the Tav, find a ton of people there and we all get pretty drunk. Eventually we make our way to the after party at a local bar. After some dancing, drinking, talking, etc I decide I need vast quantities of water so I go to the bar to get some, but I somehow get stuck in the corner of the bar and don't get served for 40mins.

During that time I make out with two random girls; get the Facebook of another (that I actually found) but she wouldn't give me her number so clearly it will amount to nothing but oh well; talk to a friend I haven't seen in ages; and talked to this other girl. I knew her, but I couldn't remember who she was or where I knew her from. She did however.

"Hey. You didn't wave back when I saw you at Decemberisits."
"Oh sorry I must have been distracted."
"Yeah well they WERE really good."

Bullet dodged, I keep playing along so she doesn't realise I can't remember who she is. She gives me her number but since the usual speedy trick of calling the number so its in my registry won't work because the bar is in a dead zone, she has to add herself to my contact list herself. So now I have a name. It's my politics tutor from two semesters ago.

So a quandry. While she's pretty cute and about my age, the first girl is definately hotter. However I can't contact the first girl, at least at present, and there's only so many days I can not call the second girl for. Not to mention the theoretical weirdness of doing anything with someone who was grading my papers nine months ago.

Then I helped a couple of my friends hook up and then realised I'd rather have hooked up with her instead. But I heard today that not much happened and they probably won't see each other again, so not annoyed about that anymore.

So no progress with either of them yet, which is of course what you'd expect since this is me.

Sent the first girl a Facebook message asking how the rest of the day went, she replied and asked how my weekend was. I answered then asked what she was doing this week and when she was getting a new phone. That was Monday arvo, it's now Friday morning and no response. I don't get it.

Is it a really terrible idea to send another message before I get a response to the last one? I hate this message shit.
