It's Saturday morning :)
I am sitting at the Macbook, Stacey, and a guest of mine are still asleep. Well of course, it's 10:25 AM. But I have already taken a shower and am trying to figure out where to take my guest, Aswathi, from Houston who now goes to Drexel, around for the day. I was thinking of taking her to the teahouse, where my friends and I used to go to alot. some other places around East Village, and the Columbus Circle Mall uptown.
Last night, she came in to the city, as did Danny, another old friend from Parsons camp. She came to the Thanksgiving event at youth group with Tiffany and myself. (Tiffany made delicious pancakes) After youth group, I finally saw Cheng who I like a buttload. We watched the Village, and then Cheng left to see his friends. The Village has a pretty tame ending, that's all I have to say. I thought Adrian Brody was so hot, but watching him as a retarded village guy who stabs someone and then dies... well. (shh if u havent seen it sry) Afterwards, Aswathi, Stacey, and I fell asleep watching Sex and the City episodes.
I'm so excited... Thanksgiving Break starts in 5 days yessss lol. I was gonna try and see Katy in Jersey, but it didnt work out.
How is stuff at home? Seeing Aswathi again made me feel like Houston wasn't in fact so far away. She hasn't changed much. She seems shorter, and grew her hair out, but the Houston way of being is still all around her. Really, there is, I think, a Houston way of behaving. Or maybe it's just being genteel and Southern, stereotypically, or something. But one could tell yesterday, walking around with her, she was just soo amazed at everything in the city, that I felt a little jaded at my comfort and ease in the city. Do I take this life for granted? Also, the way we Houstonians are soo nice to each other is very different from New Yorkers. Saying hi on the streets just doesnt happen, Aswathi pointed out.
I wish I was coming back to Houston for Turkey Day, but it's alright. I'll call a lot. I miss the Chen's, but Christmas is just around the corner <3 And I'll take many photos and post them here.
