It always seems that the nights we stay up this late are also the mornings we have to wake up early... what is our life.
Anyway, before I left, after having dinner (with a cerveza), I was closing the door, and my host dad was like Rachel! Tienes tus llaves? (Do you have your keys).. but then I didn't hear him, so he said Rachel! Keys? And I was like Yup! And then Fernandito must've corrected his English, so he was like Rachel, how do you say llaves? And I said 'keys'! And he said 'And how do you say beso?' and I was like 'Kiss!' ..
And then Fernando, Nandito, and Soraya all go 'OHHH KEYS AND KISSS' except the way they said it made them sound nearly the same words xD
So Fernando told us to meet them at Alameda at 11:45. So you can guess that I HATE BEER because it was making me feel like shit already, and I was like I CANNOT HAVE WHAT HAPPENED A WEEKEND AGO HAPPEN AGAIN. So after 15 minutes of waiting (they always seem to be FASHIONABLE LATE.. at least it's fashionable in Spain..), I spotted a vending machine in the movie theater and BOLTED to get water, because water calms me down and makes me feel better. That was a good idea. I was basically fine the rest of the night because the water SAVED me.
So FINALLY they come, and it's Fernando, Nacho, Andres, Arian (the boy that kissed my hand a few weeks ago when he first met me), and Fernando's friend Raoul that we met a week earlier.
But when Arian goes in for the dos besos, he was acting really confused, and I probably should've realized he had no reason to remember me because we didn't talk much (BUT I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL AFTER THAT HAND KISS), so he was like ... who are you? And I was like oh.. Rachel! And he was like I've met Alison, not you! And I didn't feel like trying to explain that we'd met before so I was like oh woops!
So anyway, there's some Moroccan meat market/craft fair thing going on in la Alameda... and the smells were messing with my blechiness.. so I just kept drinking water as we walked around it for a bit. And we started talking about Black Friday and how my COOL LEATHER JACKET was originally $80 and I bought it for like $10.. And then, since I think ANDRES IS REALLY CUTE, and he'd mentioned the last time I saw him that he was taking English classes, I walked up to him while he was wondering around alone and asked him How they were going.. And he's like Aww Rachel! Thank you, it's very hard! (this was all in Spanish).. And I asked him if he wanted to speak English together.. and he was like No, no.. it embarrasses me! WHICH WAS ADORABLE WUTEVA. (Alison later told me she was like GO RACHEL for approaching him to talk ONE ON ONE heheh)
So then we go to the hookah bar that we'd been to earlier, and I RUN TO THE BATHROOM because the water got to me, but the door won't close!!! So I'm like UGH and I give up.. and we're all just talking about things, how they are all the characters from the Hangover, and how they want to visit the US, specifically Las Vegas, take ROOFIES, and forget everything so they have a night like in the movie the Hangover. And we were like ROOFIES ISNT REALLY A FUNNY THING IN REAL LIFE GUYS. But then I found out, Arian was talking to me, and he's like I went to California when I was 16 to visit family, I'm 20 now.. and I was like HOLD UPPPP
Because this boy looks 23, 24 maybe.. So I was like I'm 20 too! And then we go around to see everyone else's ages and he was like WOW IM THE BABY. And I was like hold up, when is your birthday, maybe I'm the baby?
And this killed me.
He's like 'El 28 de julio'.
I FREAKED OUT. I WAS LIKE OH MY GOD ME TOOO OH MY GOD THIS IS SO CRAZY. WHAT A SMALL WORLD ('El mundo es un pañuelo' = The world is a handkerchief .. which somehow has the same meaning of it's a small world..). July 28th, 1992. I was like 'WE'RE GEMELOS' (twins! except I think gemelos means identical twins specifically.. mellizo means not identical.. so woops...) And then he said something about us being Adan y Eva... don't know what that's about but loooool I'll take it!
And then this lady starts dancing, because it's a Moroccan-owned hookah bar, I'm assuming.. and she was pretty good, at least that's what I thought. Oh yea by this time Fernando's brother Tony had joined us.
So then I tried the bathroom again, but I brought Alison with me so she could guard the door. AND WE MADE FRIENDS AT THE BATHROOM WHILE WAITING. Because girls would come up to Alison and be like.. Is someone in there? And Alison would be all flustered and answer and be obviously not Spanish..
And whenever they found out we were from the US they were like OOH I WANNA GO THERE! One girl.. okay, the bathrooms were disgusting, water on the floor, no toilet paper, pee on the seat.. So I came out and said QUE ASQUEROSO. And we bonded about that, and one girl was like O THANKS FOR TELLING ME and she got tissues.. And another girl was like I WANNA GO TO THE USA TO PARTY. And I was like 'Like the Jersey shore?' and she was like YEAAAH SNOOKI!!! And she was so cute, she was like Como te llamas! And we told her and then we went our separate ways, after wishing her SUERTE with the disgusting bathroom.
And Andres was talking about how he blushes (he got the word 'blush' from Tony) when he speaks English, and he doesn't want to try now.. AND HE KEPT TOUCHING MY ARM AND I MELTED <3
I wish I remembered more stuff. We left and went back to Fernando's house (Arian and Raoul had left by then), and Nacho and Fernando were telling us how they've been playing jokes on Arian and calling him from an unidentified number and playing 'spooky' music to freak him out.. They tried a few times again when we got to Fernando's house but he didn't pick up... and then they tried it with ANNOYING BOY MICHAEL BECAUSE FERNANDO HAS HIS NUMBER and I wish I could say it was hilarious but it wasn't that funny heh.
Oh, and we were so glad that we taught them the word 'Bromance' .. because that's basically what is going on between Nacho, Fernando, and Andres and it's ADORABLE.
And I guess that's about it, and now we're back!
WOO. I'm sure I'll remember more later but I NEED TO SLEEP GOD DAMN IM GOING TO ARACENA TOMORROW AND IM WAKING UP AT 7:40 WHICH IS IN LESS THAN 3 HOURS. MY LIFE.
MI VIDA.
FIN.
