on a happy note :)
just because I don't often write happy posts, I'm going to write one now. and I have nothing better to do at the moment.
I had a great day today. Philip had called me the other day, wanting to hang out, but it turned out that today was the day that would work for him & his friends.
we all met up at Gwinnett Place Mall-- about an hour away from my house. it was good times. I had met Cat & Reed (of the people there) before but hadn't really hung out with them much, so it was quite fun. I hadn't met Loan, Loan's friend Koi (not sure if that's how he spells it...), or Reed's friend Anderson before. I was hoping to meet a others of Philip's oft-mentioned friends, but they didn't come. oh well. we had fun. the mall wasn't the most interesting, but there were still some adventures. then the Korean farmer's market-- that was fun! and playing in the park (good times, but somewhat difficult with the cold & the foot brace). and then a fun trip to Wal-Mart while we waited for the sun to set. all topped off with a delicious dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. yum! I had a blast hanging out with everyone-- a great change from the rest of my break (productive but dull).
and the funny story of my trip back:
I really had to pee. (I know, you didn't want to know, but it's crucial to the story) I didn't want to stop in downtown Atlanta, so I waited to go a little bit further down 75. well, by the time I actually pulled off onto an exit, I was ready to stop at the first place... which just happened to be a Chevron. there, of all the places, was a van full of college kids from Minnesota on their way up from Florida (for a habitat build, of all things). and only one restroom. needless to say, it just so happened that I stopped at the ONE place with a line. how funny! and of course I made friends with the Minnesotans.
anyway, there's a nice vague description about my fun day. wheee!
