Day XI

Well, let's get you caught up on the rest of the weekend. As you can guess, it was unproductive, as usual. This morning, Winny left (for real this time), for New York City. It was bittersweet. Of course, there is no reason to really feel to depressed that she's leaving, since the whole lot of us is going to be outta here when we graduate. Sad thing about Pittsburgh. Nobody stays after they graduate.

So we went to Garage Door and Hemingways to celebrate her last night. I saw Richard! Richard my little! For those who don't know, Richard is my Little, and I'm his Big. When he joined Glee Club, we bonded and formed a "frat type" friendship. The funny part of it is that he's 6 foot a million, and I'm...well if you're reading this, you know about my body frame. I remember running into him in the library right before Finals were done. He just picked me up and tossed me around for 20 secs. He's a great kid.

And then we went to Hemingways. I saw Jason Sanders for the first time in ages. We discussed leaving Pittsburgh soon. Me? For Tampa. But HIM...for Korea. Makes me feel a little more ease about this move. But at least we're both here for awhile...so maybe we'll run into each other a couple more times. It's crazy. I used to see Sanders EVERY WEEKEND as a freshman and now we see each other once every two months.

And then Winny left because she didn't want to get sucked into staying yet another day. Jose texted me, so we went to 5801 (what is that...the third time in a week?...I'm turning into Jose...) Joe originally was going to take a bus home, but then decided to come with us to the gay bar. As he put it:

Joe: There's no atheists in foxholes. I guess there's no straight guys when it's cold outside.

That can be taken in many different ways...

But Joe was just full of excellent quotes last night. We were watching a music video with Madonna and he said that she was more machine than human now...

And I was amused. Taking Joe to a gay bar for the first time, I expected him to be overwhelmed by the gay men. Actually, he took that in stride. He ended up being scared of a woman actually. I need to introduce him to more lesbians. LOL.

This morning, we went to go see Shreya for her Birthday. I've been avoiding mentioning the trip on my blog or my aim away message. That's because the visit was supposed to be a surprise. But we EPIC failed at this. How? Shreya's mom and Rashed had been talking to each other making plans...via text messages.

Shreya's mom were talking this morning and her mom was telling Shreya that Shreya never calls her. The convo must have gone something like this:

Shreya's Mom: You don't ever call. See look at my recent phone calls!
Shreya: (looking down) Wait. Why do you have like 15 txt messages to Rashed?

Fail Blog Post 153802: Surprise Fail!

So since the surprise was up, there was no need for Shreya's mom to take us out to eat...so we just ate at her house. Shreya's mom makes the best food ever. We tore that up. And then we played Caracasse (sp?) or something for an hour. And then we made a trip to watch Frost/Nixon. For a history buff like me, the experience was orgasmic. It's funny, I know what was going to happen and yet i was on the edge of my seat. Kinda like when you watch Titanic. You know the ship is going to hit the iceberg, but you still get freaked out when the ship is trying to avoid it.

And on the way back, I realized more than ever...that in six months, when I see the tunnels and the Pittsburgh skyline loam ahead, I want it to be because I'm back for a visit...not because I'm trapped here.
