This weekend was like a blast from the past. lol. Totally did the college student thing and realized how much I miss it.
Started the weekend with a somewhat chill Friday night in SF. Driving up with JK, we realized that our dads went to the SAME highschool and were probably there around the same time. o.O Man, what a coincidence. But then again, KL is really quite small and MBS is a pretty popular school to attend. But still, small world, eh? Now we're gonna go bug our dads to see if they knew each other......I think it would be hilarious and probably very, very awkward to meet JK's dad if they have bad blood between them....like if one of them bullied the other or something. lol.
Met Van's new roommate. Clingy and needy does not even begin to describe this girl. Poor Van and Susan....this one will drive them up the wall. She's nice and pretty I guess, in a fairly generic blond way and she immediately reminded me of sorority girls during rush. I suppose she's new to town and naive but the girl needs hobbies. All I can say is, good luck ladies and remember, it's hard (but not entirely impossible) to throw a "meet the new roommate" party if the roommate moves out before the party.
Vaish's thing at the W hotel was a little bit of a bust which was both a relief and an annoyance. On one hand, we (mainly meaning Van) would not have to endure being mistaken for an escort in the hotel lobby as we head for the pretentious XYZ (if that happened to me, my contingency plan was to hide behind Van and let the magical double D power of Dolce & Gabbana distract the out of town CEOs looking for a good time :D) AND we wouldn't have to pay outrageous prices for drinks. On the other hand, we ended up horribly overdressed at O'Brien's; the type of overdressed where everyone looks at you and thinks "douche" (according to Van) or thinks that you're a Marina girl with a bad sense of direction. lol. I solved my problem by keeping my coat on over my little black dress while Van had no issues with being overdressed and being hit on. lol. Sigh, sometimes I wish I had her confidence. It's times like this when I wonder if I'm missing out on something by not being inclined to meet or pick guys up at bars. Regardless, between the few of us (mostly Van) and the cute, awesome bartender, we got the birthday girl drunk. Mission accomplished :) Too bad Van's eye fuck buddy didn't meet standards in person...but the whole process was an interesting (and educational) experience to watch. If there is a female version of "The Game" published, I definitely need a copy because I obviously do not have a clue as to how it works.
Van, do you like how much I've referenced you in regards to this one night? lol. Can anyone tell that the bar/club scene is really not my thing??
Anyway, had a great time with Van (as always) as we giggled and warbled '90's love songs into the wee hours of the morning (and probably kept the new roommate and her guest up). Totally brings back the nostalgia of college days gone by. Man, we are SO easily pleased :)
Saturday was a satisfying rush of used book sales all over the south bay. I absolutely love the Friends of the Library book sales!! Wish I could be here for the huge one at Fort Mason in Sept. I'm one of those kids you can leave in a library or bookstore (or supermarket) for a couple of hours and I'd be pleased as punch. Dropped by for a joint birthday do later that night and caught up with a whole bunch of people I've not seen in about a year. And had some kick ass brownies.....they were so good, half a pan's worth came home with me :)
Apparently, it's a weekend of reunions. Saw Rachel one last time and met up with a bunch of ppl in Berkeley for coffee (ah, lounging around in Strada and cutting through campus) and an early dinner. Wonderful company on a really nice day. What more could I ask for?? Apparently, a second dinner with the sibs + Han at that Hong Kong restaurant in Newark. So full. But so very satisfied with life right now :)
Seriously, it was an awesome weekend!
