What a night!
Straight after work, I picked Hong and Thanos up, then drove back to my house, where I quickly showered (I did not wanna drive for 1.75 hours smelling like coffee and syrup) and packed everything up for London. The drive there (and back) was pretty good; great weather, and good stories told by The Greek.
At the house in London, we discovered the REALLY fun trampoline, and realised how VERY comfortable it is at 2am and you just lay on it in the cool (and u can't SEE the bugs, but sometimes u can feel it, but it could also just be ur own paranoia) night and look up at the stars and talk about random stuff, and wondering when the pizza guy was gonna show up with food. hehe.
ohoh, I met Evan (roomate) and his friend Darren, and at some point before we all headed out for Jacks (bar/club in London), the duo played "serenaded" us with Lifehouse's "You and Me" and, DAMN they're GOOD! lol. I can now see why Kay and Ling are obsessed with that song now. lol. Darren's a great singer, and they're great guitar players. Evan sang harmony as well, which is always awesome :). They played some other songs as well afterwards, but Lifehouse was DEFINATELY good. we didn't get a chance to watch the DVD of the Lifehouse concert that night, but I left it with Kay at the house. I hope they watch it!! hehe.
I tried some new drinks, some fireball with coke (it is GOOD! but it's weird, cause i don't like cinnamon), bailey's with coffee (mmmmmmmmmMMM!!, it was sure better than dooley's toffee liquer with coffee), and amaretto sour. hmm, Next time I really need to ask if they have the pineapple malibu, it's so much better than the original coconut with OJ. oh well! still good anyway.
So yeah, at Jacks, some of us hung out upstairs where the live band was. I think Evan and Darren should try getting a gig there; I think they're good enough! although, I wonder if they know enough repertoire to play for over 3 hrs! dang, those ppl are troopers! 3 guitarists and a drummer (who only had a snare and cymbals) were playing when we got there before 11, and were still there when we left at 2ish. They took a few breaks, but still! taht's nuts!
Anyway, we sat there for most of the time, and listened to some music and talked about randomness. I learned the language of "elite speak" (or, something like that). Apparently anyone who plays CounterStrike should know it, and generally, gamers and CS ppl should know it anyway. Haha, so I finally learned. It's basically, replacing certain letters with certain numbers. Not difficult. I've seen it before. I just didn't know it was actually an official language that I was supposed to know. hehe. Lol, there were some pretty good CS jokes told (none by me of course), and it must've been oh so boring for everyone except Thanos and I, cause we're the only ones who got them. lol. ahh, good times.
Jenna and Dana came at some point, but I didn't get a chance to give them Amy's gifts in person. I just left them at the house, because Dana was dropping by later to go for Dim Sum with Kay. So I knew she'd pick them up. heh, Dana's bf's friend (one of the two) was pretty cute, I found, but, after like, 20 minutes, I found out he's like, 19 or younger. I thought he'd be the same age as Dana's bf, but apparently not. *shrug*
I'm proud for my not calling M--- up though. I thought about it a few times, and caught myself, thinking, what good can come out of this? So, I didn't. Well done Mandy, well done. lol. I really wonder what's gonna happen in September. I obviously am not talking to him (he's not my list and I'm not gonna email him), and he is apparently not talking to me either. So, I may be caught really off guard in class next year. :? *sigh* summer is almost half over. we're all surviving. I'm anticipating the new school year, and as usual, fearing it, ALOT. Maybe even more than I ever did. Just different scenarios this time, I suppose. *shrug* I'm starting as a different person than last year. It will be different. I will be different.
