This weekend was pretty fun, but it reminded me what I'll be missing this summer when I leave. It's funny how a single week can change your entire year. I guess its true when they say that you never know where life will take you, though you find out why it takes you there along the way.
Friday: My friend and I made plans to go to a party. When I got to his place, neither of us were dressed. We decided instead to just hang out, crack open a bottle of wine and play video games. There was an enjoyable throwback moment where I sat back and watched him as he struggled with tech support for an MMO. It felt like we really had gone nowhere since High School.
Saturday: Went to Magic Prerelease. Even though I went 1-3, I had a lot of fun and felt better that the ones where I do well, but I am stressed out by the games. Hung out with another friend afterwards and played for a bit. He and his wife (it feels so fucking weird writing that) opened their wedding presents. Over Skype. Welcome to 2013. We also got dinner off of Potbelly's 'Secret' Menu. After, went to my grandparents and helped them avoid having to repaint an entire room.
Sunday: Went to Prerelease for redemption..Got some cards for my EDH deck. Saw my friend go 4-0 and take first, while his brother and I went 1-3. Accused of cheating in our after-prerelease guild off. Kids were just jealous I won. Went to White Marsh to pick up a friend, and passed by the Starbucks that makes me embarassed of the things high school me did. Hung out for a while and talked about a wide variety of topics, including life, work, movies, television, and music (Reminder: I need to check out The Voice). Got two books that are quite related to my interests as gifts.
Three weeks remain before I leave the state.
Funny Story of the Day:
This is a bit of an old story, but I'll record it because in hindsight it was pretty funny.
Two guys are sitting in a group that is mostly female.
Guy 1: It is rough being a single guy in this crowd. Not many lookers.
Guy 2: To be honest, I don't know many of the people here.
Guy 1: Well, you know her. *motions* She cleans up pretty well at least.
Guy 2: Huh. I thought she always looks good.
Guy 1: That is an interesting perspective.
Lyric of the Day: The XX: Fiction
Fiction, when we're not together
Mistaken for a vision, something of my own creation
Come real love, why do I refuse you?
Cause if my fear's right, I risk to lose you
And if I just might wake up alone
Bring on the night
This reminds me of a quote from 500 days of Summer that I keep on my Facebook wall.
