Crazy Nights

Friday night was a lot more fun. I jetted home from the dorms, changed and jetted back to meet my friends. Mira called me during this process and it was so comforting, I knew I was going to have a great night. Once I got to the dorms Tal wanted me to shave his head, which was hilarious because he had to stick his head out of the 6-story window and the clippers were JQ's who uses them not for his head, but for "other areas".

Anyway, we left to Mond Bar in Plaza del Sol where I stayed very briefly. I met a cute Spanish punk named Guillem, "William". I went with him and his friends to La Macarena, a club off La Rambla that plays techno non-stop. These Euros and their techno, honestly! So the cover was 5 euro, but we managed to get in for 10 for five of us. Drinks were expensive, but I wasn't planning on getting smashed because I wanted my Spanish to hold up and my brain to keep functioning. The rest of my gang showed up at La Macarena at 4:30ish, but were unable to get in so they walked to the metro and waited for it to open, I guess.

We danced all night and then Guillem walked me home. We stayed up until 6:30ish, then I made him go home. Because, that's what I do. :P I can't cope with cuddling with people I don't know. I guess I'm just an odd girl, most of my friends are cuddle-sluts and can do that. Perhaps I see it as something more intimate. I can't feel comfortable. There's supposed to be a magical connection between two bodies, if you don't know the person, than it's nothing more than an awkward empty shell. I have no problem cuddling with my guy friends, but some random hookup? Negative. Last night I crashed in Kirsten's dorm room and she brought home this super cute Spaniard and he stayed the night (no, they didn't have sex with me two feet away!). I guess I see physical pleasure as something completely different than emotional connection. Both can coexist in the same person, but they can also be completely separate. Anyway, I've exhausted this subject and I need to write my essay for Cultura.
