Incriminating Evidence
And more pictures!
Quick explanation: on January 23rd, there was a party at our place, and this is a usual occurrence every Friday. However, what made this party different was that Becky (Dave's current girlfriend) drove to Pitt and there was actually a respectable ratio of males to females (Translation: it was not a sausage party). Sure, we could probably get in trouble for some of these pictures, but that is not about to stop me from posting them even if they would be incriminating evidence showing that there was a lot of underage drinking at our place.
Let me backtrack a bit since this picture was on the roll and was taken on the previous Thursday night (January 15th). On Thursday morning, Dave and I were sitting down at the coffee table, eating Cookie Crisp, and watching some television. Dave turned off the television and we both heard a loud crack that sounded like a light bulb burning out. In short, the television broke. Apparently, Dave had had it since he was five years old, and while I think it may have had some sentimental value to him, that did not stop him from getting drunk with two friends and dropping a chunk of concrete into it (That is the white blob where the screen is supposed to be). I was doing some reading for my Foreign Policy class and I heard this loud boom. My first thoughts was that it was a gunshot, but seeing Dave run around like an idiot only disproved that theory. It was worth a good laugh at the time, but I doubt that anything like that will happen in the future.

First, forgive me for not including the full names of some people. To be honest, I know far more people at Pitt on a first name-only basis, which I translate to something like "We are not close/good enough of friends to actually know each other's full name." I mean, I know quite a few people who only know Steve by his nickname (Stones) and are confused as hell when I call Steve by his first name.
Anyways, this picture is a snap shot. Chug some beers and you know what I mean; you just do a lot of random stuff, and this just so happens to be one of them. Dave was in the middle of passing his camera off to Katie so she could get a picture of Becky and him, and my poor positioning screwed up getting Steve and Stephanie into the picture properly. Oh well.
Pictured (Left to Right): Becky and David Farrell
And here is the resulting shot. I noticed that my right pointer finger tended to get in the way of a lot of shots on the right side, and this one is no exception.
Becky is a high school student, and that statement alone explains quite a bit of her disposition. She is a nice girl, and although I am not attracted to her at all, I can see why Dave thinks that she is cute. However, she also radiates a sense of "blondness" and immaturity; her smoking habit is only a fraction of this aura. When I tried talking politics with her and Dave the night after this, she seemed blown away by how I put things into a perspective where there is no clear right and wrong in human actions; barely minutes beforehand, she was intent to blab on and on about how anyone conservative is better off dead (An attitude that is very similar to my mother's).
And before I forget, it should be known that Becky screams like someone is tearing off her skin with a chainsaw when she has sex with Dave. Koop had hurt his ACL and puked later on, and while I was watching him, I heard Becky's screaming. At first, it was actually hilarious; sort of like listening to a bad porn video. However, as my buzz began to wear off, her screaming began grating on my nerves.
Like I said, a good girl, but an immature girl.

This is one of two group shots I got that night, and this one came out fairly well, in my opinion. This was taken right before we went outside, and Steve is holding a Hersheypark glow mug I had given him a few weekends prior. He usually fills it with beer and sports it at parties.
And yes, that is Becky in between Koop and Dave's neck. A physical example of her immaturity, if you will.

Let me say this: drunk kids cannot feel a whole lot, and even though it was well below freezing, we had the time of our lives.
This was one of the better pictures taken outside when we were playing in the snow. Here, Dave got knocked over by Becky and she threw a lot of snow in his face. One of the parts that sucked about this "snow brawl" was that there was ice underneath the snow from the melting of multiple other snowfalls. Suffice to say, getting knocked over hurt a bit, but it was fun nevertheless.
And even though Andy was drunk, he really did not get into it. Course, Stephanie did not either, but I would not go so far as to say that she was drunk.

Here, Koop was busy with Katie and the snow. I forget who went down first, but Koop got Katie good in the end.
In the second picture, Koop's arm is around Katie's neck, and not in any hostile manner at all. Both were very close for the majority of the night, but I doubt that Koop would actively make an effort to go for Katie. Do not get me wrong; Katie is a great girl. Cute, incredibly energetic, very friendly, and always puts forth her best effort in whatever she does, but she is a dick tease (At least when it comes to Koop). However, I do not think that it comes from any desire to see Koop angry, but rather, out of fear. Steve took the time to explain to me a few things that rationalizes her fear. Basically, her first boyfriend was in her freshman and sophomore year of college, and she lost her virginity to him (And women always feel very strongly for the person that they had sex with first). However, he turned into an asshole and began treating Katie like utter shit, and she stuck with him for too long. Now, I see her obvious attraction to Koop and vice versa, but I also understand that hesitation to want to get into a committed relationship with him; she is afraid of being hurt again by the one that she loves, and I have doubts that either one of them are going to get serious because of what occurred in the past.
I do believe that Koop and Katie should be together, at least to give it a shot. I would think about going after her, but I already have Erin to chase after.

Although this picture is edited in order to cut out the flash from my right pointer finger, this is the second group picture and undoubtedly the best. I am not lying in the least when I say that I absolutely love this picture and the way that it came out. While it was taken when we were done playing in the snow, you can still see the joy, thrill, and nostalgia of playing in the snow on everyone's face. A great moment forever caught in time on an excellent photo.
Two side stories: I have known Andrea for about four months at this point, and although she is good friends with Katie, she does not share that same energy. She is a very cute girl, but she is more reserved and mature most of the time. I know far less about her, but she does not come off with an air of mystery that I would expect; rather, she knows what is needed and does it. A practical woman, and that is not bad at all.
Stephanie is another side story. She attends Duquesne University and is a sports medicine major. However, when she came to the party, she did not have the same kind of wild energy that make Katie and Andrea so fun to be with. She came, drank a little bit, diagnosed Koop's ACL injury, and left as though she had only come in order to kill time. In some ways, she is more of a mystery than Andrea is to me, but at the same time, there is no desire to uncover the mystery and see what else lies there. You could even go so far as to say that she is a drag.
Pictured: Andrea Kapko
Even though her eyes are shut, you can still tell that Andrea had a blast. I just had to include this picture as well because of the cool pose.
But hey, it is all just incriminating evidence showing off our drunk time. Hopefully the cops will never find this.
