A Bowl of Fun

Last night the boys went out to Sutsu, a bar we often go to, and Alex was with us, A greek student from Nakas. Ricky and I talked for a long time at the end of the night, especially at a different bar called Flower, and Cody and Michael ended up talking extensively. That is usually how it turns out. I made sure to include Alex at one point when Ricky and I were talking about Godfather. He was sort of the fifth wheel and I know how that feels.

Ricky said we should play together in Boston. HELL YES! I said I was honored he asked me. He said he was honored I accepted. I then told him he had a better voice than I do so I should sing harmony over him. He said, "Are you serious?"

It was an awesome musician to musician bonding moment.

Also last night, at the first bar, I actually went over to a girl that I wanted to talk to. I thought she was the third wheel cause her friend kept dancing with this other guy. I was so nervous but Cody kept saying I should do it. Ricky said, "You have four more days left," and Alex ended up coming over to me when I was sitting there on a bar stool, waiting for the right thing to say. He asked me if I needed help. I told him it was ok but then said it would be cool if he helped. He ended up walking away without helping me, telling me that I could call him if I wanted to. The girl luckily sat nearby me on her bar stool. I asked her, "Milate aglika" which means, "Do you speak English?" She said she didn't speak Greak, haha. So I said, "Neither do I!" and we started talking. Then she apologized and said she had to go back to her group and did a switch with her friend who had a pimple right below her lip. Ew, sorry. I talked to her for a while. She was very animated with her gestures, bobbing up and down when ever she didn't know something and out turning her hands while doing a clown face at the same time. After we finally introduced ourselves after about a ten minute long talk, I said I wanted to go back to my group. She seemed a little disappointed but honestly, I was interested in her friend, who, I found out from the pimple lip girl, had a boyfriend. Hmmm that's why the guy I thought was pimple's boyfriend was eyeing me, haha. He was probably wondering why the hell I was hitting on his girl. Anyway, I felt great that I actually talked to the unbelievably hot girl (she told me she was German! That's why I liked her. Explains it all). It was a HUGE accomplishment and I owe it to Ricky, Cody and Alex. But mostly I owe it to this trip, myself and the fact that she sat nearby me without knowing it. Good going self and random occurrences!

Today we all went bowling. It was AMAZINGLY fun. At least I know I had tons of fun. We went to Agios Dimitrios which is at the end of the red line in Athens. It was so nice also cause I felt so relaxed after figuring out all my bank stuff. WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won the first game and Ricky won the second. I got second place the second time though.
