Gilda and DJ AM

For those of you who don't know him, DJ AM is a famous DJ who was engaged to Nicole Richie and dated Mandy Moore. Well, last night a group of us went out to a club called Gilda where DJ AM was DJ-ing! It was for Linnea's (aka, bella ciao's) birthday and a big group of us rolled out to the club around midnight. We stayed there dancing until 4:30 in the morning (I know, crazy... but it was reeeeally fun and I wasn't going to be doing anything difficult in class the next day). I ended up getting home around 6 and had to wake up at 8, but it was ok because I took a long siesta yesterday in preparation for the copious amounts of sleep I would not be getting that night. Anywho, DJ AM is good. Like really good. I didn't stop dancing the entire time he was spinning. I had myself a little box about 3 feet off the floor that I was dancing on (because I like to dance up high, but you knew that) and my friends would join me periodically on the box. So my evening was basically: pre-party with amici, pay 10 euros to get into the club which came with a free drink, dance on a box for 4 and a half hours, walk to Robbie's house where I left my purse and then get home asap because I was beat.

There was this guy in the club who kept coming up to me and trying to talk to me while I was dancing. He kept telling me how he was famous and all the ladies love him (for all my friends who are reading this, you know who I'm talking about but I'm keeping it G-rated for the fam). He also kept telling me he was gay and decided it would be fun to introduce me to his friend. Well, I let him introduce us and his friend ended up being a relatively legit guy who owns a tour company in Rome and we just talked for a few minutes before I had to run home. But the friend (Steve) told me that the first guy was definitely not famous and was definitely not gay. So I'm a little confused as to why he told me he was gay in the first place... maybe he wants to be? Anyway, it was fun dancing to the amazing beat and meeting new people and funny stories abound as always. No pictures though because I didn't bring my camera. But some friends took pictures of me so if I manage to find one I'll update this post and post it later. Va bene!

Glad you are having fun. You *did* look really good last night before you left. No wonder you have to beat off the men with a stick!

Falling in love with myself

Stiamo a Roma! I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. Because I'm pretty sure only my mom reads this blog. I haven't cried in a long while. I don't know why and I'm not sure how I feel about it. But once we landed in Ciampino and were on the bus through Rome to get to Termini, I began to feel overwhelmed with a desire to stay. It's like I'm reliving my last 5 days in Rome all over again. That feeling of being ripped away from everything that I am. And I cried. Jessica is my external hard drive of emotion so naturally she cried too. She's already cried multiple times. I kid you not, she cries every time it would be appropriate for me to cry and I can't. Examples to follow. So after we got to Termini, we walked over to our hostel and I ended up having to ask directions. I'm pleased to report that my Italian came flooding back, like riding a bike. We found the hostel and once we got settled in I took Jessie over to Trastevere

Musings

First off, let's examine the word musings. It has the word muse in it... I wonder if there is some connection to the concept of the Muse. Like maybe my random thoughts are inspired by the Muses? These are the kinds of things that my mind does now that I've developed a newfound passion for linguistics. It's quasi-annoying because now when I speak even in English I'm always wondering about what I'm saying and where the word came from and all of that. My signora and I laugh because she has the same problem, since she knows so many languages (German, Italian, French, English... and those are just the ones she knows well. She also learned Portuguese and Spanish). Oh well, I guess it's just a cross I'm gonna have to bear ;) Anyway, let's talk about feelings. Namely, mine. I'm having a hard time thinking about leaving Rome. I mean I really start to freak out when I think about it for too long. I feel like I'm losing a part of myself that I do

The Unending Adventures of Hula Hoop and Hawaiian Lion

That’s right fan(s), today is your lucky day. I am creating a blog post, as we speak. You have Jessica Kennedy to thank for this, as she insisted that I blog about our trip to Hawaii. Yes, we just got finished spending a week in Hawaii with my father and stepmother. It was fantabulous and sunny and Hawaiian and all of those lovely things. We know it’s you. Alright, I shall try to begin at the beginning and end at the ending. This will be quite difficult, as Jessica is currently sleeping next to me and we all know I can’t remember anything without her. However, I shall attempt nonetheless. We arrived in Kona on Sunday, June 19, 2011, full of hopes and dreams and confusion. The confusion was mostly on my end because I wasn’t really sure what to expect from Hawaii, but I was pretty sure that the weather would at least be nice. So, naturally, as soon as I step foot on the tarmac, it starts raining. I was quickly caught up to speed on the fact that it rains in Hawaii
