is it amazing?

so friday, i flew home to visit my family and friends. well, the intention was to visit family AND friends, but i was only home for 2.25 days, i could only fill in so much.

my flight was supposed to leave at 6, but didn't leave until more like 7. i was pissed. the flight delay was eating into my friend time. i also sat next to the world's most annoying woman. not kidding. this lady was CRAZY! i was telling J that she was rude and just pushy and would talk to hear herself talk. one of the highlights was when she picked up the first class/coach divider curtain and barked at the man sitting in first class "you aren't supposed to be your cell phone after we've left the gate sir" and he was like "am i on a cell phone?" and she's like "i can hear you talking" and he's like "i'm talking to the person next to me. but THANKS." crazy lady: "oh sorry, i just thought...okay". C-R-A-Z-Y. she also kept reaching over to open and shut the window. so glad when i got on my flight sunday that she was NOT on it.

at one point, i was going to have dinner with 3 of my friends, but it ended up being just J. which was super for me. i hadn't spent one on one time with J in forever. i missed her (past tense). i miss her (present tense). i wish i could bring all of my friends to atlanta. :( J and i ended up eating at coastal flats (awful service by an awful waiter BTW) and then hanging out in the square at fairfax corner. around 1130 it was time to go home, so we parted ways. when i got to my car, i had some messages from CAN asking me to meet him and his friend G out. so i thought, well, i'm already out. okay fine.

i drove out to reston town center (uno's) to meet them. they were both really quiet when i got there. i'd never really hung out with G before and he was kinda standoffish at first, but once he got several shots in him, we were good. i ended up being the DD since i was driving my parent's new car and i don't really enjoy drinking anymore. i ended up driving them to carpool in herndon and then some random redneck bar in downtown herndon. at one point, both of them were so trashed that i wanted to leave them in the redneck bar, but i decided not to, so i dropped them off at home around 3:30. G said something really interesting to me when we gave up looking for CAN at the last bar. he said something like "i'm too old for this" (he's 31) and i said "you know, i am too" G: "i'm always the oldest one here" me: "welcome to my world" G: "lets go". me: "ok".
it wasn't verbose or extremely insightful, but it was nice to hear this type of thinking coming out of someone else's mouth.

i ended up spending the night at their house because i was in danger of falling asleep at the wheel. i can't remember the last time i was up at 4am. did not feel good the next day. i'll tell you that much.

p.s. nothing happened with CAN. its not that way anymore...... this doesn't mean he didn't try. but in the end, he respected my decision and i'm really glad we can just hang out.
