This weekend has been a good, strange mix of sweet and sad times.
I spent friday and saturday with star and friends in preperation/playing in the pool tournament. We won our first match but lost our second. I went 0-2 in a hopefully uncharacteristic fit of scratches. Two matches from a free trip to las vegas is just enough to be happy with what you did but sorry you didn't get further.
Sunday we got our asses handed to us in hockey, and mike myers wasn't even there. It wasn't like we were shorthanded or played a goon team. we just weren't very good.
on the way to jen's bbq I got a call from andy asking about the pool tournament. but really, it was to announce that he and elin got engaged. woop woop! its about time. no, really, I'm very very happy for them and will be at their wedding in the fall of 2006.
it was something andy said after that gave me pause, and really, I may be over sensitive about it. I asked if they would be up or if I would see them before they and I moved to our respective colleges, and andy said they might be up in august to see kabh.
andy said it expecting i would be around. but, they should come to see me , and not just come to see kabh and me too if I'm there. elin and kabh are like sisters, and andy was one of my best friends in the corps. and when kabh and i first started dating, the four of us went on a couple of double dates. andy's comment opened up a wound. kabh and i arent dating now and havent for a while, but what andy really doesnt know is that we're not friends like we used to be. call me pining for an ex all you want, but I'll miss my best friend more than any of that. and who knows what its gonna be like in august?
jb leaves for london on tuesday. we chatted for the first time this weekend and talked about her leaving. I said goodbye in case I didn't see her, and she asked what I was doing before then. She then caught herself, realizing she probably didn't have time to do anything anyway.
at the end she said that this six weeks flew by so fast. the meaning was that often, we never saw each other. and that was that. i was often asked what it was gonna be like living with jb. i didnt know. everyone took the question to be if we were gonna wooka chooka, but the real question was if we were going to see eachother at all. sometimes, when you expect to see someone all the time, its hard to see them at all.
so there you go. good times and sad times. its been a long weekend here in the nyc.
