Cual es tu papa?

Friday I left Columbia at 12:18 and dashed home to Joplin. I got home and my mom was cooking fried chicken and mashed potatos, which was quite good. I didn't eat a whole lot of it though, because apparently my stomach has shrunk. We played air hockey a lot, and I won...a lot. Then I left to go hang out with Loomis (now known as Loomy) and Tommy.

Then the older boys (21 and 25) showed up so Tommy went with David to go get our alcohol and Loomy went to get Karole. So Chance, this 25 year old, and I were stuck alone. We started playing jenga and he started to tell me about Colorado and such things as that - all while trying to figure out if we would hook up. We didn't and that was fine. He left to go clubbing and I stayed and started to drink. Blah blah blah, I began to kick some kid who kept quoting Napoleon Dynamite, Abdulle taught me how to say "Who's your daddy?" in Arabic.

Loomy: Lauren, get in here. Now.
Lauren: Why do I have to come in and no one else does?
Loomy: Because you're the ringleader.
Lauren: Fiiiine, but just because you called me the ringleader. Guys! We can't play soccer.

And that's basically it for Friday. I drove home at 3:33 in the morning convinced I was going to get pulled over and breathalyzed. I wasn't drunk at all but I did have alcohol in my system. I made it home though...and slept. A lot.

The next day I don't really remember - I just know the parting conversation Friday night was Tommy asking if I was going to be in town this weekend and when I said yes he replied with "see you tomorrow then."

Saturday was awesome - we hung out at Abdulles apartment, went swimming in freezing cold water, watched a movie in this awesome theater, just hung around and talked. I went to IHOP with Abdulle and we had a pretty deep conversation - we bonded. It was nice. Plus, I have a semi-annoying new ringtone! But it has him saying "Who's your daddy?" in Arabic, so it's worth it for me.

So basically I'm horrible at putting feeling into my writing - but this is mostly for me, so in a year or two or ten I can look back and be like "oh! I remember that night!"
