Spring break 2007 (Paris and Rome)
I have to say that spring break was quite the relaxing/eventful event. But I’m going to start with the night before, when I make Emily go out, because she promised that we’d go out the previous night and it never happened. So when we get home we take some “happy pills” and pack. Except that I didn’t eat anything the whole day so they took an effect on me first and Emily was making fun of me. But we finally decide to head out to Camden town to listen to some bands and on the tube there Emily just goes…. I feel like a sedated animal… We walked really slow and out of the tube stop looking for KoKo, and what happens, we turn the corner and there is it… it turns out the Explosions in the Sky was playing that night… how did I now know about that?!?!? But we decide to go to the Dublin Castle, which is a really chill place, and when we finally make it there we take a seat next to the door and start chatting with this cheeky 18 year old British boy. Name: Johnny Weights…. Occupation: future rock star. But anyways we talk for a while and when Emily and I decide to leave, I give him my card and he tells me to myspace him. To say the lease he was impressed with my card ( I gave him the one with Franz Ferdinand on the cover). Anyways we have plans to hang out again.
We finally get back to the flat and end up passing out around 1:30ish…. Except we both kept on waking up early in the morning due to random screaming in the night and whatnot. So I end up getting up at 5:15 and shower…. And off we go to meet Julia at King’s Cross.
First “conflict” of the trip: We discover that Julia booked her flight to Rome a day before Emily and mine. Funny stuff.
But when we get to Paris it is still so very early and our hostel was amazing… it had a balcony with a wonderful view and free breakfast… (which the maids hated us for because we never had the “plateau” done when they came back for it. But we ventured out and on our way back from looking at churches and the “artist district” these three black guys tie string on our fingers and make us bracelets and make us pay 5 euros for them. We went to the Eiffle Tower as well, and walked along the river, where I busted out my Chinese and asked for where the atm was… and it kinda worked, but they found my accent hard to understand. Which is understandable because my dad says that I speak funny Chinese anyways.
The next day we go to Notre Dame and the red light district at night so we can check out the Moulin Rouge. And who do we run into… Ithaca Boys who take us to this Irish pub and who do we run into Tom, who is trashed off his ass and is on a “Funky Paris Irish Pub Crawl.” At this pub we met these three French men (two are 28 and one is 18), where Emily got her game on and got sexy things whispered in her ear….
[Ben and the rest of the Ithaca Boys]
Oh yeah we also watched French boys play soccer on the grass, near the Eiffle Tower, and I gave them my card and number….
The next day we run into the Ithaca boys again and they tell us that they had gone to the Strip club with Tom (and that night they had tried to get me to go with them) and Tom had gotten beat to a pulp by a bouncer with a gun. But we later physically ran into Tom and it turns out he got hit in the back of the head by a random guy and fell and then was taken to the hospital... And people wonder why rumors start.
Oh and one day we had gone to a café to coffee/breakfast (or beer in my case) and I was flirting it up with this French boy who sat at the next table, it was funny because I warned him about the waitress and her yelling at us for NOT ashing on the ground. But when she brought food to the next table over, she was dripping sauce, and when she walked by the French boy (with bad teeth so kinda a turn off) she dripped on his coat… and I was handing him a napkin and was like “tu serviette” and he took the napkin and giggled…. Talk about cute points for me… but she left shortly after and for the rest of the Paris trip that’s all I heard about.
But the rest of Paris was a little less eventful, but fun nonetheless, because all we did was explore, site see and eat crepes. That was until Emily and mine’s last day in Paris, when we had gone to the museum, and Emily fainted, and had to be taken the “medical” room in the museum, where she fell in love with the “police officer dude.” And that night I got a text from the cute French soccer players. We went to go meet them but Emily was in a bad mood, which was understandable, so we went back to our place where later the French soccer players came to meet us at our hotel, but we turned them away…. I still have game, which I was doubting for a little bit while in Paris.
The next morning we leave for Rome and meet Julia. We took the bus tour for two days and saw all of Rome, on Thursday Julia left for London to meet Alexis. And Emily and I did our own thing. Emily and I made a lot of friends on Friday we woke up early and went to the coliseum, where we met three Irish boys… one of them I fell in love with. We ended up hanging out with them all day, and they bought me beer all day including at 11 in the morning, so pretty much I was drunk all day. But they also smoked us up and it was good, (lets just say its been a while since I’ve smoked hash or pot) But we went through the coliseum together where Keriel flirted with me and gave me his helmet…. The boys also made a lot of fun of me because of how short I am, which I guess was a good thing at the time, because at one point he was like can you even see over the ledge and I was like not really so he bent down and told me to get on his shoulders…. Amazing.
At one point in the Coliseum I was like Emily take a picture of me for my mom, so I hand the camera over to Emily and walk down over and I'm standing there smiling and Keriel ran over put his legs around me and was in my picture...
When we left we decided to go back to their place to smoke and drink more, we got on the metro, and I like to run down to different cars and I did exactly that but Kariel followed me. And since the cars were so packed I didn’t have anywhere to hold to so he held on to me. (and I was like this is promising because he is sooooo hot) But when we got to our stop I jumped off and he grabbed my hand and held it as we walked out. Which was very unexpected and cute. We walked back to their hotel, and Emily and I went up with him to his room while this two friends Fez and Chris went to get more beer. But Emily went to the bathroom and it was just me and Keriel in the room and that’s when he kissed me on the lips. And then Fez and Chris walked in. But all of us hung out in the room and I sat down and he’d sit down next to me and gently touch me on the shoulder and nuzzle his head on my arm and he’d put his hand on my leg. At one point I got up to go look out the window and he came over next to me where we talked about exploding birds because of them eating bread…. And he looked into my eyes and kissed me again, and teased me by kissing my neck and kissing me on the lips again and then he’d stop kissing me and look into my eyes and just tell me out beautiful my eyes were and how much he loved my eyes. And then he’d whisper things into my ear.
Throughout the day he would hold my hand and rub my arm, and when I’d let go and disappear to take pictures he would get all worried that something had happened to me. Like when we were talking though the station I went over to the right to take pictures and popped out at the end, I saw Fez and Chris standing there so I stood next to them and after a minute I was like “what are we waiting for” and they were like you… They didn’t know I was standing there and they were looking back at Keriel and Emily who were looking/waiting for me.
We went out of pizza and icecream, which be bought for me, and I wasn’t expecting that at all and he held my hand the whole time. And when he would walk with Emily and I’d be behind him he’d always turn around and look at me to make sure that I was still there. We made out a lot on the streets and I was pretty much in bliss, because is such a wonderful kisser.
Later that night all of us went to this bar together because it was only 10 and the clubs don’t open till 11:30ish but he bought be more beer and sat next to me and gave me his coat. He was shivering and wouldn’t take his coat back until I suggested that instead of me wearing his coat and trying to keep him warm, that he’d take the coat and keep me warm, which made me happy because I was really hot wearing his coat. Anyways, when we finally went to this club… we danced together for a long time and kissed. We left the club early and when I say early it was almost 2 am and took a cab back…. Where we kissed in the cab and I teased him. We got back and got more beer… (I don’t even know how many beers I had drunk, but I was drunk but still functional… and I’m going to say that I can out drink Mike Rose any day….)
Keriel was obsessed with making me cum.
We had just fallen asleep at 5:30 and Chris and Fez came back, they were really drunk and it was funny. They were both making fun of us because were cuddling, so I moved away from Keriel and he followed me, it was cute and I liked it. They finally passed out at 6ish.But they had to wake up early for their flight the next morning back to Dublin, but we got out of the room at 7 and Chris didn’t have any money to pay for the room so he had to run down to the atm (keep in mind he was still drunk) but while we were standing in the hall way with Fez passed out on the ground. Keriel stood with me with his arm around my shoulder, until we kissed, exchanged information, and said goodbye.
Number of blows made my Julie on Emily during the day: 1 (And that’s only if you count me saying that she was a little lesbian… and she brought it up first)
Number of blows made my Emily on Julie during the day: 4 that I can remember.
PretTy much I fell in love in Rome.
