talking to myself at night because I can't forget
Had a going-away party for my best friend this past weekend. He's about to go do his (mandatory) military service. Another of his really close friends couldn't make it because her boyfriend's friend died that same day. Doing his (mandatory) military service.
I mean. I realize the odds that anything will happen to him are quite small, but still. If anything did ... If I lose two close friends in a year ... I'm going to nuke the sun straight out of the sky. Hear me now, believe me later.
Anyway, a picture from the shindig.
Yes, he does have two long braids behind his left ear. Yes, I'm the one who has to braid them. Yes, that is how dire the situation is here in Turkey - my best friend is a boy with two fucking braids behind his ear. Pathetic.
In other news, I have a really and for real date this Friday.
I'm quite excited about it. It occurs to me now that I've never been on a date with someone I actually like. I've been one let's-see-if-we-like-each-other dates. I've been on this-is-just-the-same-as-hanging-out dates. But never one where I was already smitten and we were going out on the town. We're going to go see Alice Russell. Excitement!
