As promised, here is an update on this weekend.
Friday night I got to hang out with the Nikki, the Pookie, the cousins from the ashtray, and the brothers. Good times were had by all. The drama of yesterday is no more. The Loop abides.
Saturday the Nikki, the Pookie and I went out for a day on the town. Granted, we went to several towns, but you get the idea. We were specifically out and about for something. I want to say more, but I’m restrained to vague details as the person that I was looking for might read this, so I’ll give you, oh my brothers, the same info I gave them. “I went to get the thing, saw many things, but didn’t find the thing.” More to follow, trust me… 😉
That night I got to meet one of Milca’s old friends names Tara. She’s pretty cool. We had talked on the phone briefly to confirm eachothers’ existence, but nothing in great depth. Milca and I went to Tara’s father’s 60th birthday party. I knew nobody there, but that’s never really a problem for me. One of the women there, in her 60’s or so, looked extremely familiar. She thought the same of me, but neither of us could place the connection. I’m pretty sure that a past life may have something to do with it. Maybe she knew the Olympiad me, or the Elizabethan actor me, or maybe even the native American me. At any rate, it bugged us both all night, and made breaking the ice extremely easy.
I can’t recall if I’d posted about it, but she and I are moving in with her mom. Her mom is kinda lonely, and rightly so, considering that less than a year ago she had 4 other people living there. Also, she was going to rent out a room to students, but would have rather had family in there. The rent will be much cheaper, and I won’t have to sleep on a murphy bed anymore.
Sunday Milca and I boxed up some stuff and took it to her mom’s. In some state of mild retardedness I boxed up all the dvd’s and my video games, thinking that I wouldn’t want either until we move in. That’s two weeks without either. Great move, Chris. After getting some good hiking in with the dogs, we went home and relaxed.
Monday night Milca and I went out for Thai food with Tara and her sister, Kim. Got to know the two of them much better. They’re both really cool. Kim is a teacher, so I picked her brain a bit. Tara is in “The Industry,” so I knew she and I would get along. They both also have a deep love for Donnie Darko. It’s hard not to like these two.
That’s all I’ve got. Work is a tornado, in that it’s destroying my will to live and it sucks, but that’s to be expected, especially given the time of year.
I’m ANXIOUSLY looking forward to going to Oregon in June. More to follow on that. 😉
