out celebrating with betty

when betty and i are together, we have too much fun. it started off at the village to celebrate the end of the school year teaching for her. we went to the village for drinks and dinner before heading out dancing. the strangest thing happened to us there, we sort of picked up on this guy, together. his name was sebastian and is from montreal. we asked him to come dancing with us. and he did. we never ever do that. play tag team in picking up men. he was such a cutie. he was so charming and friendly. maybe we couldn't help ourselves.

at popscene, he was even more fun. he danced with us all night, bought us drinks, and humored us with our paper-airplane-making games. will was there too but at first, he ignored us. not sure if he was trying to get us to go to him as he is always coming to us. he even walked right by us and didn't say a word. whatever will. eventually, he saw us and ended up in the vicinity of where we were. i guess his friends met up with him there so he was dancing with them. and after his friends had gone home, he finally came over and danced with us. i was a little intoxicated so i was jumping all over the place and jumping into will all over the place. i think he loves it. he loves the attention anyway.

it was so much fun. we might see sebastian again tonight. i'll have to bring my camera.

another 5am saturday

last week, it was the mediterranean dinner party with lou, ro, betty, johanna and gillie. the dinner started at 8p but i was up until 5a. needless to say, i slept in last sunday until gosh, i think it might have been 4p. i went to the village and had a nice chat with anthony until 1a that night.

this past saturday, it was me and betty with joe and his friend jesse. we were at the village drinking and being merry. but got kicked out by the new manager dan (anthony had gone home) and so we met up with joe and jesse at some dive bar. it was fun. after last call, we hung out in betty's car talking and listening to music. it was quite an adventure actually. not sure what time it was when we started heading over to joe's but i started fading at 5a and that's when we called it a night.

i woke up at 2p on sunday and met up with betty for a late lunch sometime before 4p. i stopped by the village to say hello to anthony. apparently, he'd been running around shopping for me for my "surprise" on tuesday. he said i was hard to shop for. um, ok. i'm dying to find out what the heck it is. betty knows but promised she wouldn't tell. she's good about secrets that way. damn her. (hahah, just kidding betty!) gosh, tuesday is already tomorrow! can't wait...

update

so, what happened last week that made my week so horrible?? well, for starters, one of my students attempted to commit suicide. i'm not sure if i want to say anything else but that she's okay and is going to take a leave of absence. i've been here for nearly five years and in all those years, i've never experienced this sort of thing. it was just too close to home. how does someone in their early 20's, who has her whole life ahead of her, think life could be so bad that it's worth ending? i just don't get it.

otherwise, things have been okay. i may be spending too much time at the village with my friend anthony. anyway, that's it for now...

drowning my sorrows

um yeah, if sorrows is what you call missing the ex. i went out tonight with my partner in crime and made friends with a true bartender (who will give free drinks to cute girls), joe at the village. we stayed long after closing, which seems to be a bit of a problem for us but they don't seem to care. we talked life, love, sex, and touched a bit on religion even. then we were good to go. thank you betty, it was just what i needed. you're the best!!

cheers

last night, betty and i went to our favorite restaurant & bar at santana row, the village café. where almost everyone knows our names, well our faces anyway. we had our usual vodka infusion shaker (red raspberry, yummm) and jorge made me this delightful creation he calls splendor. splendid it was indeed. it had pineapple infusion with some bubbly and midori. it was delish! we also had our usual steamed clams (which were so big this time!), linguica on the side. i looooove my sausage! hehe

anyway, i had a nice chat with anthony about life and relationships. he usually just sticks his tongue at me or calls me a vixen but it was a little refreshing to be serious once in a while. we chatted until well past closing and when i looked up, the restaurant had closed, only jorge and betty were left aside from us and it was midnight! anthony walked us out to our cars and we went home, happy and intoxicated with life.
