(no subject)
as promised (oh and i KNOW you were all eagerly anticipating this post, haha) the story of my weekend:
aaron and i had plans to go to lisle to visit asian aaron, but we just never made it out there and ended up fighting all day, so he went his way to lombard to visit his friends, and i stayed in the city. elena's birthday was this weekend, and she was having a party at this newly discovered hookah lounge. i decided to go, and good thing i did, because i had so much fun.
the hookah lounge was absolutely gorgeous, and they had wonderful food and this intoxicating belly dancer.
elena has some wonderful friends, and we all hit it off really well. (get it? HIT IT OFF? oh hahaahahah)
crystal, her boyfriend john, and stephanie were there as well, and as everyone else was leaving to go to smartbar, we hit up this bar on north ave. called soju, just to try it out.
at first there weren't a lot of people there, but nikki, paulina and zmin all showed up and just made my night absolutely spectacular.
(my camera ran out of space after this picture, so i'm so sorry i didn't get everyone!)
the really interesting part of the night occured when crystal and co. dropped me off at the belmont train station. i waited next to one of the bartenders at the bottom lounge, who i recognized, and we started talking about how shitty the CTA is. the platform started to fill up with more people as the bars were closing, but the train still hadn't arrived! this guy started talking to me and her and then this other guy joined in and this boy sitting next to me pulls out a beer from his bag and offers us all beers! so we're still waiting for this train, drinking beers, and it finally arrives after 45 minutes, no joke (for all those who don't live in chicago, the red line runs 24 hours and like, every 10 minutes .. so this was the longest wait in vivian-riding-cta-history, okay?). we pile into this over crowded, drunk car full of people and it's like a huge party - everyone talking and joking .. it was just crazy.
so i arrive home at 4 in the morning, wait for aaron to get home from lombard at like, 5 ... and we passed out until he had to go to work on saturday. (needless to say, we made up within the first five minutes of him walking in my door)
yesterday was crazy, too .. involving me meeting dustin's parents while all stoned for dinner at the chop house, but really, that's for another day.
