It's been a while since I blogged. I've been really stressed out about a whole bunch of crap that I should just let go! The process has been so painful that I have not had the desire or the energy to write. There have been bright spots along the way during this kind of dark period in the form of new friendships formed. So I'll start with that. Gary is a super guy from my Spanish class. He is really young but has such a quirky sense of humor and an maturity about him that I find hanging out with him really comfortable and a lot of fun. In the month that we have known each other we done a lot of activities together. I think because we are both foreigners and share the same sarcastic sense of humor has laid down the foundation of our bond of friendship. We've hung out quite a lot doing different stuff and this weekend was kind of a marathon for our friendship. Gary joined three other friends for my first get together at my flat. Anna, B and Marc along with Gary all came over for a bottle of wine before we met up with some other friends for a night of live music. As the night wore on Irene, Manuela, Maruxa and Pau all joined us to party and enjoy eachother's company. It was so cool to see all of our different backgrounds merging together. The weekend was pretty amazing! Had tons of fun!
Friday and Saturday night with Gary and his two dutch friends Simon and Danny. (or Thing One and Thing Two as I refer to them in my mind) Gary describes them as socially awkward but they actually did very well saturday night; almost scored with a passel of american girls. We started out at a party for Gary's friend from South America, Maureen. We were the first to arrive for about an hour....can you say awkward? Finally more people showed including a nice little bunch of french boys...ohhh la la! (i love the french) There was this one that was soooooooo cute...I refer to him as Swivel Hips. We spent about 3 hours eating, dancing and drinking at Maureen's. I actually wanted to leave early but Gary was begging me to stay and I'm glad I did, the night turned out to be pretty amazing. Maureen had plans to go to a night club after her get together and you know how I feel about nightclubs, but again i let Gary's sad face talk me into it. It was really awesome. The club was actually at the crime scene of our first bcn robbery. Right near the bronze fish tail. It was very euro chic. I kept having images of movies like La Femme Nikta or Frantic in my mind...LOL it was funny. Anyway Maureen had a guest list so we did not have to wait in line or PAY...(yes my friend...I was let in by the lifting of the red velvet rope). While we were outside the club, Thing One and Thing Two actually meet the group of american girls and they were all studying between Spain and Italy. Gary somehow got Maureen to get the FIVE extra girls into Shouko! Gary is quite the persuader when he puts his mind to it!
Anyway friend...a lot of other funny shit happened along the way before the night ended at 4:30am! All in all I had a blast. Discovered that Gary can DANCE for a white guy and he told me that I was fast becoming his best friend in BCN (awwww...i almost teared up when he said that) He is sooo sweet.
Oh...also had a coffee date with a guy...could not tell if he was interested. We talked over coffee for about 2 hours. He had to work and took a break for us to meet. I liked what i got to know and he asked me a ton of questions...but i just dont know...i hate this part!
Meet a girl from the US (LA) who told me I should advertise in Loquo right now for business. she does not have a tefl and is teaching freelance. She has been in spain 3 years without papers and she said she is making ends meet with the freelancing. Downside is that she is afraid to leave the country because she probably wont be able to return for awhile. She is trying to wait out immigration. Funny thing about her is that she did not try nor is she trying to straighten out her immigration status.
