Tjark left me AGAIN and I'm sad :-( :-( :-(
/sigh
Last night=various traffic-hour, Friday-night traffic adventures. Took us over an hour to get to Miraflores to see the movie. Obvi late for the 5:00 show, so we wandered and ate food and Ale asked all about Vermont. I have such a conflict explaining Vermont. I love it on some level-the land at least. I love the summer, the mountains, the trees, and the clean air. The people....not so much, but I'm swiftly discovering that there are very few people I like. He was convinced that I live on a farm, or at least have cows and horses. it was really hard to explain that I live in a "town" so there are no farm animals, but that the "town" is smaller than my condiminio in Guate. He couldn't believe out mall has less stores than the number of food places in Miraflores. It was an interesting chat to say the least. I also had to be extra-nice since I had sort of accidentally slapped him twice in line to get food. Oops.
Thennnnnn we went and saw Ocean's 13. Let me say that Ale and I have excellent movie taste. between Mark Wahlberg's arms last time, and Brad Pitt and George Clooney this time...::swoon::. When we had decided what to watch, I told him I was excited because there were so many hot men, and he thought I was talking about all the people milling about the theater, and got mad and told me he was jealous. I still don't really know what to do with that. Left the theater, the chihuahua called to invited me to the beach, I sorty of stalled while I attempted to think of a good lie, failed, and just told him to call me tomorrow.
Came home to Tjark yelling "Catherine! I'm in a conference call and I'm naked in the kitchen!"
I was absolutely confused by this, and decided to just go right downstairs and not pass the kitchen, but he came scampering out in these tiny tight black undies and made me come into the kitchen, where he was in a three-way speakerphone call with William and Kate, William's sister. I was insanely excited to talk to William and waved at the phone. Tjark laughed at me. William said he waved at the phone too. Tjark laughed at him too. We discussed life and then I went to bed around midnight.
This morning=Angry salvavidas man coming for his money which we've owed them for like a week but the boys were gone and I have no cash so I couldn't pay him. Then Tjark and I ventured out for breakfast at San Martin and he also let me go to the pet shop for a while to look at the birds and small fluffy animals. I want a bird and a small fluffy animal. :-( Chihuahua called in the middle of breakfast and I made up some bullshit about having to take Tjark to the airport (I hope he never remembers that I don't drive...) and having to study and stuff. He tried to invite me to a party or something beforehand, and I just sort of didn't hear him because of the noise in the restaurant.
And nowwwww Tjark has finished packing and left me forever to go to Costa Rica and Nicaragua until Thursday. I am sad.
Today I need to study. And tan if the weather is decent, which it usually never is. Plans up in the air; maybe see Pablo if he ends up doing something for his birthday; Ale informed me last night that we were going drinking tonight...I don't know if I feel like doing that. Or maybe I'll do something completely different. We'll see.
I am strangely tired and ver very full after breakfast.
