Reason 1. I have no friends here.
It's now official. I have 4 friends, but two were out of town and the other two are kind of marrying each other soon and didn't really make time to hang out until like, 11 o'clock saturday night. (But I'm not bitter) So Friday night I hung out with my parents, played some musical music on my guitar and generally sat around.
Reason 2. Sleeping In.
I don't sleep in at school. I have 7:45 class and soon possibly 4:30a.m. Janitor job. Therefore when I wake up in Boise when I feel like it in a queen-size bed, it's a lot better than an alarm squacking at 6:30 on my cinder-block upheld twin mattress in the Clarke Apartments. My house smells so good. I cannot beleive how good my house smells.
Reason 3. High Definition NBA Basketball. 'nuff said.
Reason 4. Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance
This was the greatest movie I have seen in a long time. It had everything, Nicolas Cage, a firy demon riding a motorcycle, a blonde-long haired (male) zombie who makes everything decay, a Jerry Springer joke, and a Twinkie joke. It was complete with a. no sensible storyline b. no good characters and c. gratuitous flaming motorcycle/truck/tractor chase scenes. It was actually better than the first one. But that's kind of the problem, It wasn't AS laughably terrible as Ghost Rider 1. In all seriousness, it was awesome because my Dad got off work and we went to see a movie we knew would be terrible, payed too much for popcorn we knew we wouldn't finish and root-beer that would make us need to pee halfway through the movie. Some things are just worth it.
Reason 5. Actually good movies.
I also watched Warrior which was actually an amazing movie no sarcasm attached. It even had the suave English dude from Inception who impersonates the old dude in the dream, but in this one he's a (totally jacked, new man crush?) ex-marine who's in an MMA tournament to earn money to take care of his friend's family since he died in Iraq. And he fights his brother who's a near-bankrupt physics teacher trying to feed his family. And they have serious family issues with their alcoholic father. Seriously amazing movie. And that guy got way even more totally jacked and he's playing that freaky looking bad guy in "The Dark Knight Rises"
But I digress.
Reason 6. My awesome friends.
Despite being rather mad that my engaged friends stiffed me all day when we had been planning to hang out ALL WEEK, it was awesome to meet them at IHOP for some hot-cocoa and mozzerella sticks at 11 o'clock. (Their dating advice for me: dont' try and someone will magically fall out of the sky and you'll fall in love... Good plan.) Even if I only have two friends in Boise they're pretty cool friends. And I called their marriage back in September when they met, and I got her phone number and entered her as Miriam Wilson (Which is his last name) and I totally saved him on their first sorta date by talking to her more than he did while he was distracted with his other friends. I am the greatest wingmate ever.
Too bad my best friend Andy's Fiance Rebekah wasn't in town but... she's in Texas visiting him at Pilot training so I'm glad she wasn't there. And I found out that they're getting married in May, not December. Which is exciting, and I get to give a best man speech.
