So, I'm more than a week behind in terms of posting everything I wanted to get on this thing. I guess that's what happens when one of your best friends comes to visit...
I wanted to write about what happened last Friday (so, 9 days ago). I've already talked to some of you about this, so bear with me.
So last Friday, we went out to the boat (which I finally found out the name of: Marquise) as usual. I ended up meeting up with Flo there and we danced and danced and danced, as usual. But then we (Molly, Ruby, and myself) ended up going back to Flo's apartment with him and his roommates. They actually have a really cool place near Hotel de Ville (a pretty central and very cool part of Lyon. Hotel de Ville means "city hall," and this part of town is where the Lyon City Hall is. Every town has a city hall but Lyon's is balling out of control. It's an incredibly beautiful, huge building with much historical art and architecture. There was actually a welcome reception for American exchange students in Hotel de Ville the night before, which was cool because we got to go inside; normally it is absolutely not open to the public). Anyway, we went over to their apartment.
The best part about this night was that everything we ended up doing that night at the apartment made me feel like I was kicking it at Thom's in Eugene, which I miss so much, and it made me really happy. Here's why it was like that:
We did what we all do best at Thom's, if you know what I mean.
We played video games, namely one that was very similar to Zelda.
We listened to countless songs that Thom has introduced me to, and that we listen to a lot at his house, and we did this without me even saying anything! For those of you who are familiar with the music, these guys played:
Hella Justice
Hella Daft Punk
Lucky Boy-DJ Mehdi
3 Wishes-Cuizinier
Ross Ross Ross-SebastiAn
Yo Relatives-DJ Assault
Travailler-TTC
It was amazing. The coolest part was that we were listening and singing along to all these French songs, that I listen to with Thom all the time, but this time I was listening to them with actual French people, who knew all the French lyrics and all that. I loved it.
But I will say this: in terms of the spleefs, Thom's still the best. :)
