Photo Journal

This post is a photo journal of my past weekend. Well, one day, actually. The day is Friday, October 7, 2005. My night begins with a text message from Haley, "Come over... bring a corkscrew." So I went to Haley's. I brought my iPod. She had speakers. This first picture (below) is (obviously) the table that sat in front of us. Everything we needed was there. We had a bottle of wine, music, cigarettes, a corkscrew and half an ashtray (it's broken).

I mean, I even took a shower and put on clean clothes. I knew this would need to be a night that I should remember.

The sun has obviously gone down on Leiden. At this point my thought was, "SHIT! We had two bottles of wine, where did they get to?! I surely didn't didn't drink a whole bottle of wine to myself!? ... did I?"

At this stage of the night, I was just surprised that we had a bottle of wine each. I was so happy. I think at this point we were playing Ani DiFranco on the iPod. It was lovely. We had gotten to watch the sunset, smoke our cigarettes, and generally enjoy our drunkenness.

"Woah! Mark's here!"

My thought, "He doesn't want wine, does he? Because we don't have any wine. If he wants to consume anything, he better have brought it his damn self."

Towards the end of the night, Haley and I were each in great moods. All-in-all, it was a good night. I had just enough wine and went to bed in bliss for the first time in quite a while. Before I went to bed, I wrote about reminiscing. It has seemed to be a popular topic lately among people I know. I realized that we should all appreciate what we have at this moment so we can remember it, and all the good times, later in life.
