Dear Journal

My best friend Joel (and a few other friends) have talked about The Walking Dead (TWD).  Zombies. Hot guys killing zombies. Saving the group. #myKindofMovie . So. Joel and I decided the other night that we needed to just pick a date and start TWD. We were standing in the Wal*Mart movie isle and he whipped out his planner and the conversation began
Joel "Thursday?"
Kate "DONE!"
Joel "Who should we invite?"
Kate "I dunno, Alex and Latoya?"
Joel "DONE!"
I then texted both ladies and said "TWD marathon is happening, Thursday.  You in?" Luckily Latoya signed up and gave a firm "Yes." Alex, the workin bum, replied "I have work! FETCH!"
We had 3 of 4, we were going to continue on. Sorry Al.
Thursday came. We were READY!
Joel and Latoya arrived.
I was there already (it was my house)
We decided Dominoes for 'za.
Whilst waiting for said 'za, I browsed Joel's music library
To my satisfaction (and by the end of the entire...stay-over) I collected 9ish gigs worth of new stuff
yay for me
We received the pizzas and cheese sticks, but it was the wrong pizza.
"CHEEEEESE!?" shouted Joel in anger!
He whipped out his phone and began dialing Dominoes to report the giant mistake.
He cannot stand, just cheese pizza.
but no worries, we began The Walking Dead.
the first episode seemed soooooo loooooooong
and of course the other episodes seemed so short!
I never knew when it was going to end (in a good way)
But then the discs that Joel had brought (burned the episodes onto DVDs to watch on the normal sized TV) there were no more discs...we had gotten to episode 5 but had to stop....
Until we had a brilliant idea...
LET'S WATCH MORE!
so we did...and finished Season 1, on Joel's laptop.
that was about 2:30 AM. I had to be up for work by at least 5:30 ish...
There was no way I was sleeping 2 1/2 hours.
Joel and Latoya were fantastic friends, because they said "OK" to pulling an all-nighter.
I was jazzed and loud and ready for the day at 6:00 AM when I started getting ready for work.
While Joel and Latoya were sitting on the couch talking.
I got to work, worked really hard for a solid 3 hours...and then the work stopped...and I got sleepy.
Needless to say, I went home at noon from work because I kept nodding off in meetings..that I probably should have listened to.
And then took a 5 hour nap.
