i am so exhausted, but the past two days have been completely worth it. yesterday i got up at the ungodly hour of nine and drove to new haven to meet up with james and sean before we did another of those little studies at yale. i love how even though i live farthest away and got lost due to pinky's lack of directional capability, i still got there twenty minutes before either of them. it was really good to see them both, though sean was wearing a hat that can only be described as "old men's-wear" : a white fedora with a black band around the brim. i mean, come on, if he doesn't want to be made fun of for looking like a grandpa he should realllllly not wear things like that.

after that i drove to monroe via some not-to-bad backroads (no matter what they say, wendy and tommy live in the middle of nowhere. it's as bad as somers hehe) where tommy answered the door in full tuxedo! he looked so damn good, too. he wanted me to get a chance to see what it looked like on him, after i'd expressed my disappointment at missing him all dressed up for suzanne's prom last week, so he went all out, down to the cufflinks and fancy shoes. :-)

after that i got a lovely candelit dinner, complete with irish music in the background *rolls eyes* and really horrible potatoes that ended up being inedible. among other things we watched a really good movie called "murder by death", which brings together characters based on fictional detectives from other movies to solve a crime. two of them, dick and dora charleston, were based on nick and nora charles from the "thin man" movies...another was a sam spade/humphrey bogart character. there's no one quite like humphrey bogart anymore, is there?

i had to laugh this morning when tommy's mom sort of scolded him for that fact that we slept together in his bed last night; she told him to take the couch next time and "give the poor girl some space" because there's "no use creating temptation". hahaha.

this afternoon tommy led me through some truly horrible backroads to wendy's house. i'm talking curvy roads through dense foresty areas, up and down hills, where the speed limit was 15. naturally bc i was trying not to lose tommy i was going faster than that; it was really not an enjoyable drive and definitely not one i want to do again ever. wendy and i ended up meeting her friend justin and going to see shrek 2, which was surprisingly good for a sequel. the drive home seemed suspiciously short, even though i know i wasn't going that fast. anyway now i'm home, utterly exhausted, and ALONE thank you jesus christ. jen will basically be gone until sunday at various friends' homes. wheeee.
