Empty Promises

Ottobre 23, 2010

So it's Saturday... No homework with Lavi or Marti, and Nic is going to a party... I... well I went to get some Christmas shopping done. I found a great gift for Dad at United Colors of Benetton, hopefully he likes it... then I saw something in a window that screamed, "IVAN!"... so I bought it. :)

Afterwards, I went back to the house to catch my mom and grandpa on Skype before they left for a gun and knife show. Mom said that if I was around about 2 or 3 my time, I'd get to chat with them... so I got back at 1330, just to be on the safe side... Grandpa is usually early anyway. I signed on to skype... they were not online yet... I waited... 1500... still nothing... 1600... nothing... I at least go and make some lunch, I'm hungry with all the waiting... after I finish lunch, I get back to the computer, still nothing. Sad Day.

So then I made a trip to the south east side of Roma to check and see if I could find any cheap shopping areas... I googled one area and found it, but it was closing... I found a place I thought might have cheap stuff... called 'Coin'... just by the name I should have known better... holy cow, expensive... not Armani or Gucci or D&G expensive, but still. Not in my price range. I wandered around the area a bit... found some shady places... when I say shady, I mean they were less luminous, actually more shady... but it had less graffitti... probably because the people that lived there would mess up some punks who painted on their buildings. ;) As they rightfully should. In my wanderings, I found a really cool area that has a sort of maze garden through a wall and over a bridge... it's kind of hard to explain, I'll go back and take pictures and post them on FB.

Then I headed home and sat... read some... navigated the web... was asked why I wasn't out... responded because all 6 of my friends here are out of town or are busy... Saturday nights at home aren't terrible though. I got a good sleep, I am ALWAYS a fan of that.

ok kids. been real. been fun. more fun than real though... kind of feels like a dream... I'll enjoy it at least until I wake... maybe I'll make some of my own rules up since it's my dream...
