(no subject)
Went out last night w/ this girl emily from santa cruz who is working here and shes been here for a while so she speaks pretty fluently, shes a good translator too. its rad when we get the ..."o bellisimo... blah blah" she just started talking to them in italian telling them to leave us alone and just goes off on them and one on the way to the duomo was like all shocked that she was italian (she is blonde and blue eyed californian) anyways the guy was like OH come over here and im sorry and i want to appologize. oh, i just love listening to her just tell them off! MUAHAHAH. VAFFANCULO testo di gaso! .... on w/ the story: We met up w/ her friend Tomasso, who has never left the country and hates english so he doesnt speak a word of it. We drank on the steps of the duomo and told stories, then some crazy african started talking to us... mostly tomasso since me and emily were a bit creeped out by him. he is probably one of the venders that sell fake prada and gucci bags illegally. he was drunk off his ass and had just stole another glass of wine (only in italy) from the bar. and he was sitting there on the curb rolling a cig trying to speak english saying something about how his "half family" lives in america. (wonderful) then hes trying to say something in regards im pretty sure to the i have a dream speech, so he asks emily how to say "dream" in english (he obviously asked in italian) she says dream and he repeats, "I HAVE A DRINK!" as emily and i die laughing and as soon as she catches a breath emily says, martin luther is turning over in his grave right now. it was priceless. we also spent time time drawing pictures on the wall of JJ's bar... ill put the picture up of it later. it was fun since that was the most communication me and tomasso had, by drawing!
just a comment on italian drivers:
if there is such a law that your only suppose to go ONE way down a one way street, they dont listen to it.
If there is such a law that your not allowed to drive your mopeds down sidewalks , they dont listen to it.
If there is such a law that your not suppose to swerve into the oncoming traffic to pass cars when they are seconds from getting into a head on w/ you, they dont listen to it.
if there is such a law that theres only allowed 1 person on those things (not dogs or 2, or 3 people on them) they DEFINATELY dont listen to it
not to mention THEY ARE FUCKING JUST CRAZY ABOUT IT. jumping out in front of busses, and oh do they think the intersection lights are just a suggestion. ... ok i need to stop, my heartrate is rapidly increasing.
anyways... i got cooking class tonight! WOOT. and im going to down a bottle of wine first that i bought in San Gimignano.
more stories later
