Everyone is more or less gone now. After a morning of cleaning our apartment is less of a war zone and my bathroom is once again sanitary and sparkling. Ryan left to Europe and i guess it's finally hitting him a little bit that he'll be there for a month. Yesterday he mentioned that it would be weird to be among so many people for so long and then to be suddenly traveling all alone over a continent. I hope he finds whatever it is he needs to find in himself there and i'm interested to see what those things will be. I sometimes feel like i would like to take a sabattical like that but i know i would just end up jumping off a bridge or something in loneliness.



I asked James yesterday how this trip compared to ECASU and we basically agreed that it was different. Last time, everyone was only here for a few days so everything was really busy and packed in. This time, there was a lot of sleeping and Tetris-ing and Dr Mario-ing and just straight up bumming. Half the time our blinds were pulled and we were lost in our little cocoon of an apartment. For me personally, i enjoyed this past week alot just because it was that...a week. The time pretty much flew by and admittedly we didn't do all that much but to have everyone around for a full week was wonderful. I do certainly have to get on with some life responsibilites so i guess it's ok that everyone left. I think the best night i had clubbing would probably be at Cheetahs on Thursday but i'm not sure if that's because i was the most buzzed there...or maybe because Victor and Leslie sang the dramatic interpretation of "Part Of Your World" with me outside McDonald's...or maybe just because it was the first night out and everyone got in...who knows?



This is it i guess. All my excuses for delaying the inevitable are over and i really have no plans for more fun (oh, except i'm going to Michigan for a week this Friday so i guess that will be the final last hurrah). It'll be good though to get some down time after so much excitement over the past month. Karina and Leslie both got jobs (Leslie at aMagazine and Karina at an architectural firm) so they'll be here for awhile. My brain is still overflowing so i think i'm gonna go try to write or something. Thanks to everyone that came to visit...come again...
