For Old Time's Sake
2009-08-04 at 10:28 a.m.
So I had one of the best weekends this summer and I feel like I should write it down somewhere and where else is the best place but LJ, of course.Friday I got to P-town around 2 and walked over to my apartment. I am such a genius and forgot my keys so i coordinated with my landlord to let me in since he was already upstairs working on the other unit's bathroom (I think the guys aren't going to be back 'til school starts...). I waited around for a little over two hours before Yazan came over. He was still in his work clothes 'cuz he left right after Jumah (Friday) prayer.
Damn, I swear. Just when I think I'm getting over him, I'm reminded I'm not even close.....
We talked and watched t.v. for a little over 50 minutes or so 'til Gorav showed up at my place, too. Then the boys and I chilled a bit 'til about 5:30, when G and Yaz went to Markin to ball. I watched t.v. and cleaned up 'til I 9 when they showed back to the apartamento, when the boys got un-smelly and headed to Taco Bell. Met up with Kyle, Brit and Omair at TB.
If I haven't mentioned already, Omair is a legitimate jerk. I have a low bullshit tolerance so for the majority of the weekend, I tried my best to not let his comments get to me. EDIT: He actually at one point attributed White Sox fans to having a debilitating mental illness. Okay, whatever, I may be loyal to a team but wow, that's sad if you put people down in derogatory terms. Seriously. He needs to grow up like many people in the world.
Went to see Funny People at the Rave theatre and didn't get out of that 'til 1 A.M. for a 10:30 P.M. showing. I suggest if you see it, be ready to sit there a WHILE. They should've shortened it. I liked the movie genuinely, though. Justin S., G's roomie from senior year, also joined our group with his girlfriend, so I liked saying my "what up?" to him. He's half-Persian, so of course I was enthusiastic.
After the movie, went to 'bash's (everyone calls him Sunbash, he's Nigerian) 'til 2, when I asked G and Yazan to drop me off, which ended up in us calling it a night. We got ready for bed and talked til a little before 4 A.M. about everything and anything in life and then said good night.
Got up the next morning, which turned into noon since we kept talking away and catching up. Went back to TB 'cuz Yaz lost his ID, hoping to find it but no luck. Then we got Yaz's bro (he visited the day and my sister and him are friends, too, actually) and then went to meet the rest of the crew for lunch. Okay, this was the shadiest place in the ghetto of P-town ever called Grandpa's John's Rib Shack. Think Southern USA environment and the smell of meat. I deal with it just for a bit 'cuz I ended up going with Brit, Kyle and met up Omair at Burger King 'cuz we didn't want to eat at the ribs place. I seriously adore Brittany after this weekend, total sweetheart. Had really good conversations with her about everything and anything.
Okay then after a good talk and finishing fast food, it was 4-esque, Gorav called me and we met the boys up the rest of the group to watch this high school basketball documentary for a while, killing time. Then went to Markin, watching the boys ball and me talking to Brit. Got to see Melissa (one of the few cool Jew buddies in my life currently) for a sec to say hi, so I was happy for that. I just sat and discussed again with Brit life stuff.
Then it was about 6 as the gym closed and we even talked to Dr. Elshahat, who ended up ballin' with the boys and talked a bit outside just before we all decided (Gorav, Yazan, Y's bro and I) to go mini-putting. Went back to my place so the boys could gather their stuff and get cleaned up.
I sucked (surprise, surprise) at the mini-golfing but whatever. I love spending time with this crew and after the weekend I decided I want to be in touch with 'em for as long as I possibly can. Not just for obvious reasons...
After mini-putting, G dropped us off at my apt, literally saying bye and going back to some family friend thing. After that, Yaz, his bro and I got 'bash and met up with the other three for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. After that, we went to play billiards at some place close to campus. Basheer met up with us there, actually, so that was ridiculous and fun simultaneously.
I got dropped back to my apt and said my salamz to the Palestinians (Yazan and his bro, of course):-P and went to bed. Then I ended up leaving Sunday morning on the 10:30 bus.
With the exception of the bus going back home having to stop over for an hour due to a broken generator, I had a spectacular weekend. And I can genuinely say I'm ready for the next three weeks to end so I can return to school and start my last year of college.
But before, I gotta finish interning and then I'm set.
Peace
