vampire weekend

oh my goth!
this weekend was crazy.
on friday we went to the chateau which was really great but didnt have much of the old furnishings at all and you couldnt really go into many rooms. the best part was when alex and i crossed over a do not cross rope and climbed stairs into a hallway built in the 1300s!
after touring the castle we walked around the neightborhood surrounding. the castle is just in the middle of town like anything else and people live in the houses next to it that were also built in the 14th century. the streets were all narrow and cobblestone and and we called it little italy.
after that alex and i met up with morgan and andrew and kim and went to the bars. we walked around for a while until we found this bar that our teacher assisstant told us about called, "soft." thats where it all began.
we met some french people selene, antoine and jimy. we hung out with them all night and exchanged phone numbers. saturday morning was a big outside market in the center of town where we met up with jimy. jimy has two lip piercings, two tongue piercings, nipple piercings, three surfqce piercings on his back, and tattoos on his wrists and neck. the first surprise from him is that he is in the french army and has been for three years. after about three hours of walking around the town jimy told us that the way he dresses isnt the way he always dresses. when he goes to parties he told us he likes to dress goth with big black platform boots. a few more hours passed of us walking around town and he bought us all a round of absinthe! then a few hours later we passed an internet cafe where he showed us pictures of him wearing a floor length black skirt. as if i didnt think he could get any weirder and more opposite of me he told me he has malaria.
needless to say i pick winners as friends. its so bizarre how opposite someone can be and yet we stayed out until 4am together.
the next morning we slept until 1pm and then met up with jimy and antione for lunch before saying goodbye to jimy who has to go back into the army and go to lebanon to fight. we were super exhausted and very few places are open on sundays so eating was difficult and by the time alex and i got home at like 6h30 we fell right to sleep.
today i had my first classes and i placed into level 321 so i will be able to graduate college here in france!!! class was okay but i really just want to play all day and never have to go to school again.
im close.
