Girlfriend and the Best Weekend

June 11, 2009
We have nothing to do at night so we go to Miah’s and hang out for a bit. Candace texts me that she’s having people over. We buy a 12er of Beck’s and head to her place. Kerri and CNF are also there. We sit around and bullshit while I’m texting Katie throughout the night.
Spamps and I smoke a bit of Candace’s weed and it hits me. I get a bit high and super hungry because I didn’t eat dinner. We leave eventually to get Burger King. I get Whopper JR, their new Sliders, Chicken sandwich, and onion rings with a medium Diet Coke. Nom nom.

It’s my day off because I need time to study for the LSATs and working so much is sorta killing my time. I go into the city at 2:00ish. We buy hot dogs, bacon, and toppings. There’s vodka drinking, while we try to create our own Crif Dogs.
She’s such a better wrapper and I cook them. There’s a avocado and sour cream one. One with kimchi. One with pesto and artichoke hearts. And two with cheese and a fried egg. It’s an eating fest and we stuff ourselves silly.
We then leave by 6:00 to go to the Bubble “Battle” at Time Square. It’s a bit lame because people aren’t really rowdy. It’s just people shooting bubbles around. We don’t stay long and end up at a sushi place for a quick bite. Then we go back to her place.
I take the 7 back at 2:30. Then I get off early on the Q12 to meet Bolanos. He was at Jonah’s place. We go to White Castle and I get home after that.

June 13, 2009
I get woken up to go to the Harley Davidson BBQ. After a few burgers and a hot dog, I run over to the Little Neck station because mom took the car. I meet up with Katie at Penn and go down to Chelsea to meet Danielle from Stickam and her friend. She’s from Baltimore and is visiting for the day. We go to Cafeteria, which is a pretty good restaurant. Katie has the lamb burger sliders and I have the mussels.
Then we walk over to Penn because Danielle and Kyle need to leave. Katie and I go to H&M for a bit and then her place. I find out from Brandon that he’s in the city. It’s so weird that I find that out when Katie and I are walking to the supermarket to get some food to cook. He’s at his friend’s place, an apartment a block away from where we were walking.
It’s so strange because that’s a ridiculous coincidence that her apartment in all the way up in the Columbia area. We go over to say Hi and coordinate plans that we’re going to meet up with them.
We (mostly me) cook a spinach fettuccini in a garlic herb sauce with cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and zucchini with a sprinkle of feta with a ciabatta. It’s mighty yummy. Then, it turns out that Bolanos is coming into the city too. It’s a club in the Meatpacking District. However, they need dress shoes and Bolanos can’t get in, so he ends up going back.
Katie and I go to Union Bar for a little bit until I have to head back. I randomly run into TA, who I guess stayed and go into the place. On the way back, there are loads of people from High School like Kevin Klein, Pickles, Robbie, etc. For some reason, there’s a guy that goes on and a guy’s shirt comes off. It’s nothing really huge, but punches are still thrown. I guess they just wanted to rep their manliness and fling their arms around.
Brandon and I pick up Bolanos at 4:00 to get bagels. I go through two bagels with lox because of the drinking and a smallish dinner. We run into Ashley Levine there and I probably go to sleep by 5:00.

Katie asks if I’m going into the city for the comedy show in the city. It seems like no one wants to go so I say we aren’t. At 9:30ish, people randomly decide that since we have nothing to do tonight, we should go to the city. We rush and make the 9:50 with Spamps, Miah, CNF, and Atron. I try to tell Katie that we’re going to the show. I call/text her going there, waiting for the show, and at the show, but no response.
Spamps, Miah, and I go to the liquor store and get some rum. We go to McDonald’s to get soda for the rum. The show has the best standup that I’ve seen there. She’s a sassy lady with a quick delivery and a hilarious self-deprecating attitude. The other three acts are incredibly boring and forgettable. It’s excruciating sitting there and I’d be so much more fun if Katie did show.
We wait around after the show and Spamps and I share a big plate of greasy Chinese food. I get a call from Katie that her phone died and didn’t know I was there. It really sucks that she didn’t make it. I probably wouldn’t want to make the trip all the way there if she weren’t going to show, but I can’t blame her and stuff for having a dead phone. Her phone was dead and coincidence it happened when I was coming up. I’ll see her soon though.

People head over to Candace’s at night. I’m texting Katie all night and Aaron asks if she has any friends to hook him up with. It’s usually not a cool question to ask, but I’m like, “What the hell, who cares.” Katie says that Celeste and Rochelle are interested in meeting some of the guys. I thought this was a meet up, but instead, she makes it seem more like a triple date with Katie and I there.
She texts that Celeste picked CNF, but preferred Bolanos and Rachelle picks Aaron. They figure this through Facebook stalking. We end up doing the same. After we leave, it’s only about 1:00 so Alex and I head over to Bolanos’. He finds out about the date plans and decides to agree to it, thus kicking CNF out. Later, Aaron and CNF have a hissing fit and everyone backs out other than Bolanos. Seems like the plan isn’t working out.

It’s another boring day at work with the load of rain. Katie randomly decides to come hang out in Great Neck since we missed each other on Monday. She’s in by 5-6:00ish. We hang around until dinner and we go over to Vespa. It’s a really underrated restaurant in Great Neck. It’s really good Italian. I order the veal and she gets the seafood pasta. Both great dishes.
She ends up deciding to stay in Great Neck because she has nothing to do on Friday. I don’t have work and we both plan on going clothes shopping tomorrow.
We then go over to great to get some desert cookies and ingredients to make strawberry pancakes in the morning. We then stay in and watch Taken, which is a good action thriller.

We make some yummy pancakes and go into the city around 2-3:00. After she stops by at her place. We head to Soho and go to this really good Mediterranean place named Snack. Remember, check all my food experiences on Yelp. Dweez.yelp.com. We go to a few stores and I get up getting two graphic tees, shorts, and two polos. We get back late by 10:00ish. We head over to Alex’s basement for a bit before we leave because we’re hungry. There’s an issue with the guys about something that Katie said. I didn’t notice/find out until later. I speak to them about it and they’re livid. It’s my opinion that it’s not a big deal because friends have said and done worse. I can’t judge however, but I hope it blows over.
I make some Chinese noodles with veggies and leftovers. It’s quite yummy while we watch Nick and Norah’s Playlist. I really have a great time watching it because I can spot random places it’s shot at in the East Village with very few clues.

We decide that we want breakfast, so we want to do bagel sandwiches. We drive to the bagel place near H Mart. While there, I decide, “Hey, lets check H Mart out.” She really likes Korean food and the city wouldn’t have a supermarket this big full of it. We get bacon and cheese for the bagels. We then get rice cake, fish cake, and spicy red paste (veggies at home) for a sweet and spicy dish. There’s also savory pancake mix with frozen seafood for it and kimchi for it. I don’t cook Korean, so it’s going to be cool to see how it turns out. While shopping, the place is loaded with samples and I end up eating loads of it that my breakfast appetite sort of killed.
After getting bagels, we make bagels with bacon, egg, and Swiss. For dinner, she cooks while I help. I help her cook really fast and chug a few beers because Atron says his friend’s b-day is at a bar in the city. I don’t eat too much of it because I’m going to drink, but it’s great cooking on Katie’s part. I’m left with more ingredients so I can make it more sometime. We also cook my brother a portion because he’s home.
He give us a ride to the train station at 10:20. We walk over 3rd Ave, all the way east of Penn. We find CNF and Atron inside. Throughout the night, I drink about four beers and a few other drinks through Katie and stuff. With the pregame, I get a good drunk going. When Katie and I hear Pittbull I Know You Want Me, we run to the dance floor. I’m drunk and enjoying myself so I go calls out on the dancing. It doesn’t fit the context of the dance floor because we’re going crazy. It turns out the next day that one of the guys asks Aaron if I’m gay. Hey there! You wish you could dance as well as Sexy Darwin.
Celeste and Rachelle end up coming. At one point, I realize that the bar is actually twice the size than I thought. For most of the night, I thought that there was a mirror wall, however, it’s really just a second half and completely open. I don’t know how I lost my mind and I really was not that drunk. Aaron leaves because he doesn’t really “feel” Katie’s roommates and he needs to wake up early. Katie decides again to come back and hang in Great Neck even though her plan was to stay in the city. Sweetness.
We decide to leave earlier than the 3:19, so we take the 7 train and the Q12 back. However, it’s pouring and we get a ride from the border from Bowen at 4-5:00ish. She was passing out on the bus, so she passes out immediately to see when we’re home. I go eat some leftover noodles because I’m starving. Then I pass out too by 5.
The rest will be concluded soon.
