good good good weekend
oh man oh man...i have the best parents and friends ever!!!!! ok so my parents have been in town since wednesday and we've been doing lots of fun things and i've been showing them london and its been fantastic. its just so nice to have them here and to know that they're experiencing a new place and i'm part of it. almost all of my friends here have met them, and they all think my mom is super sweet and easy to talk to and that my dad is exactly like me (or the other way around i guess cuz he did enter this world before me hehehe). so yea...today, i met gael garcia bernal but thats another story. i didnt really see my parents today but they told me that they wanted me to come over their flat for dinner and that anyone who was with me was welome to come too. so we get to my parents flat and shavasia is there, and im like "wow what are you doing here?" and she says that she was in portabello today and she ran into my mother and my mother asked her what she was reading and they got into this conversation and found out that shavasia went to school with me so my mom invited her over. and of course, i totally believe this story cuz my mom picks up people all the friggen time. so we're all sitting around eating nachos, and dj, abby, and natalie show up. and im like wow how'd u guys know we were here, and everyones like "surprise, happy two weeks before your birthday!" so my parents have surprised me over and over again in all my 22 years, and even in england, they manage to throw me a surprise party. they are the best. i just dont think i deserve them. and it was so cool for all my friends to help plan the party, especially dj and drew (i love love love you guys!), and to come to my parents flat to eat cake and pizza with me and dance and play theatre games. best birthday ever, i think. more and more, i am just falling in love with this program and everyone im meeting involved with it. im definitely keeping in touch with EVERYONE here, and we will forever have a special bond i think. i hope they read this. i dunno if they do, but i do hope they know how much i love every one of them. :) i know, im cheesy. so yea, onto gael...
ok so the london film festival is going on right now and i havent really participated at all in it, but today, we knew that there was going to be a talk back with gael garcia bernal. if you dont know who he is, look him up because he is one of my absolute favorite actors and he's super super beautiful. so we didnt know if we were gonna be able to get tickets but we stood in line for about an hour, and we ended up getting tix. we all got really bad seats, but i found a better seat, and linda ended up sitting in the very front row (thanks to flory!). it was wonderful. he talked about all his films and politics and che guevara and he kept spinning in his chair and making fun of himself and hes just so down to earth. so afterwards, we waited outside for a half an hour to get autographs and tons of pics! i'll put them up on webshots soon. linda talked to him in spanish, he smiled and thanked us, and now...im just super happy and floating.
this weekend has been fantastic. we went out last night for halloween and it was great. i think i had more fun than others, but sometimes i like to be in a clubby type place with rap playing and sweaty bodies. its just fun every now and then. so yea...i think thats it for now.
love and kisses to everyone!
