good times.
Tonight was the best night I've had in a while.
I didn't do much yesterday. Lori and I spent a lot of it on the couch, because Steven and Jason were here. Scott came over. We watched "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." I remembered the time I saw it in the theatre, at Lake, with D. There was a huge horde of junior high age children in the front of the theatre and they were making so much extraneous noise, about halfway through the movie, the projector stopped, the lights came up and a couple of OP cops walked down the aisle and escorted the front quarter of the room out. The rest of us all clapped, and the second half of the movie was a lot quieter. I took a shower. I felt restless, not having anything really to do. I got a craving for Panera. So I went to Ballston, a few metro stops away. I brought my food home with me and cleaned up a little before eating. After watching a few SVU episodes, I went to bed and read for a while (I'm about halfway through The Order of the Phoenix. Unfortunately, at this rate I should finish it long before I go home for Thanksgiving, where I left The Half-Blood Prince. Very frustrating.) and then fell asleep.
This afternoon again, I didn't do much. Watched Saw II. I think it might be my favorite one, especially as traps go, but I enjoy all the character development in III. Then Scott, Lori, Tiffany and I went to the store. We were originally going to go grocery shopping at this new grocery store in Alexandria, but there were several stores in the complex. We stopped at Old Navy first. I got a few shirts. Then to the grocery store. It was packed with people, since it was the weekend of the "grand opening" and whatnot. I must have waited in line for check-out a half hour. It was crazy. Then we came home. We had to make two separate trips from the car. Scott had gotten his turkey for Thanksgiving; he's cooking here for his parents and Alyssa's family. It was 18lbs. That's a big bird. Then we made dinner. Now Scott's watching as Lori and Tiffany do pilates before "Desperate Housewives" comes on.
I'm not quite sure why it was such a good night. We didn't do anything really spectacular. But it actually felt like we were friends, like we'd known each other for a while, instead of having been thrown together two months ago. Cramped in the back of Tiffany's two-door, it reminded me of being inside Mel (Lisa's car.)
Actually, it reminded me of a time in the second semester of my freshman year. It was before I started dating Truby, I think in February. I went to the Jewel (or maybe it was Cub. Now I can't remember.) with Lisa and Donna. It was the first real time I felt a bond deepening with those two. And then a few months later, I was living with them. (Oh the fun that first summer was, without barely any furniture in that apartment.)
Good times.
