wonderful night

Last night Jacob and his friend Chris came over around 10. Carla came soon after. We hung out for a bit, then Jocelyn came over too. Afterwards we walked to the San Souci. One of the first moments was me standing there and then this man running across the street laughing so hard. He came back and he showed me this book he was reading, it was serious blah blah, then randomly out of nowhere it said "Lol", which he did, he lol-ed across the street. He introduced me to his friends and they spoke french to me and he said no no don't speak french to her her french is "dégueulasse" which is the familiar way of saying disgusting. Hahahahaha. Some people in famous french band were making eyes at me and waving to me through the window when we were sitting down, though Jocelyn said he thought they were gay.

It's funny because at Merce and the Muse the other day, the guy was saying how I should just get married to a french guy to get the papers I need to stay here. I laughed and joked and said yeah of course, I have a month left here, I'll go find a french husband this weekend. Then funny enough, Jocelyn was saying how it's really hard to get papers to go to America, and he jokingly asked me if I wanted to get married to him so I could get french papers and he could get american papers and we'd be all set. But we'd have to be roommates for a while because they check up on you to see if you're really married, like they ask what kind of tooth brush does your partner use.. etc. We agreed that we'd get married and not tell anyone and get a divorce after 5 years. Easy. Hahahaha. He said when he was in LA he almost did it with a lesbian girl just to get the papers.

San Souci was closing so we went to Chez Moune, and RANDOMLY i turn around and see ARIS. I haven't seen Aris in over a year a half, the last time I saw him was my last night in New york when I left for the summer of sophomore year to go to LA and then I went to Shanghai. The last time I spoke to Aris was then... and yes, randomly, he's behind me, in Paris! And Andres was there too! He said the last time he saw me he was in front of my dorm in sophomore year in union square with aris and eric when we hung out one day!!!!

Backstory, I used to see Aris randomly in union square and I nicknamed him the vampire kid because he always wore black. I then randomly would see him at the same bars I went to, and we started talking and we went to Beatrice together with his friend Eric. Thennnn a few months later Eric started working at Opening Ceremony... and that looped me back to Aris! And then we used to go out every weekend together and his girlfriend and I became good friends and she went to NYU too. She did this program in Paris and she was one of the people I consulted before I decided upon this program.

Chez Moune was sooo fun. We danced and were goons. I met Aris' friend Simone who is a designer and who was offered to be carried by Opening Ceremony but he rejected it. We had an interesting discussion about fashion, attention, exposure, etc.. Aris is here modeling and I had NO IDEA he was in Paris. He also said that he knew the guy who was over at my apartment earlier, Chris, because they used to model together or something. SMALL WORLD.

Anyway afterwards we walked out and this photographer asked if he could take my photos one day. He showed me his work, it was really cool. Apparently then Aris and Andres and I (I don't remember this) decided we were having an afterparty at my place. So me, aris, andres, carla, and jocelyn headed back to my place and had a few more drinks (This was maybe around 4 or 5am) and randomly of course, Eric was on fb chat and we skyped him he's in Toronto!!! That was the first time I've talked to Eric since... a year and a half ago! We used to be close friends but we lost touch.

Aris and Andres slept on the floor, unfortunately I didn't have blankets or sheets left because Aurelle has 4 of her friends from London staying over and they used all the sheets. Carla slept in my bed, and Jocelyn headed home because his house is close, in the 18th.

This morning we woke up around 12 and I took everyone to Rose Bakery. I had tofu, with eggplant caviar and grilled eggplant, and sweet potato soup. I had markers so we drew on the table which I think confused the servers. I was tired so I headed home and I want to shower and do my laundry before i meet up with Carla and Aris and Andres again, I think we're going to some museums later. I am TIRED.
