New Experiences

So after not communicating for a couple of months, I'm just going to act like nothing happened and we'll be best friends again. Because I have to catch ya'll up.

So it is summer now and my parents left and went on a vacation up to our cabin in New Mexico for a couple of weeks, leaving the house to me and my sister, Minda. Those 2 weeks were the best of my entire summer. They were so relaxing. So we decided to throw a party while they were gone. And it was really awesome and laid back. People just hung out and drank and watched It's Always Sunny In Philly and ran through sprinklers and made tee shirts. You know. But that was actually pretty funny. Because me and Andrea found the fabric paint and decided to make tshirts that said: Estoy Borracha (I'm drunk...in Spanish). Then we ran through the neighbors sprinklers and got soaked. Have to say we didn't really think that one through.

So then this last weekend was kind of crazy. I ended up going clubbing down on 6th street with Nessa and Ari on Friday night for the first time. And by clubbing, I mean wandering around trying to find a cheap 18+ place. We went to this latina place called Cielo, which was dead empty when we got there at 11. Thankfully no cover; the only person we saw was a janitor with a cowboy hat cleaning the bathroom. So we left. And then we tried out this place called Fuze. Which had a concert that night and was like $20. So we left. Then we went to this place Speakeasy. It has this huge line in front of it and we realized that it was due to the fact that Matt & Kim were having a free concert there that night. So we mingled outside and heard them play Daylight, which was awesome. Then we just generally gave up on clubbing around 12 and went to get pizza at Cozzoli's.

So then after dropping Nessa off, Ari and I decide to use our IDs for some good. So we went to a lingerie store and tried on some crazy tall tranny shoes. Then when that place closed we went next door to the porn store. That was quite the experience. We just went around laughing at the ridiculous names. By far, the best we found was some Seinfeld parody porn. Just...no. Also, we were thoroughly entertained by the soundtrack they chose for the store. At one point, they actually played MmmBop by Hanson. That made my entire weekend.

Then on Saturday night, I went with my friend Jessie to a hookah lounge called Stratosphere. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to think of that because I rarely smoke, but it was fun. You order by the flavor and quality of tobacco. So we got blueberry flavored. Which was pretty amazing because it was really subtle and made me crave blueberry pancakes. So if you haven't done it, you should try it, even if you don't smoke because it really is nothing like cigarettes.

So I have experienced a lot of new things while the parental unit has been gone. And all of them have been exceedingly fun; a good break from my ACC work. But unfortunately they are back now, nagging and all.
