so, the law student and i are pretty set on going to the city of angels this may after his graduation. he'll no longer be the law student! i wonder what i'll call him...the counselor? the law graduate? the esquire? hmmm. i must give this some thought.
anyway, continuing. it's LA or bust. we are so excited to see our friends! haven't seen the boys since the wedding, and going months without seeing jules is completely unacceptable in my opinion. but, i'm running into a problem. this will be the first time i've been back to LA without going to visit the law student. on any one of my 2004 - 2005 cross-country romantic rendezvous, i had a pretty narrow objective.
(cut from tuesday afternoon to wednesday morning)
so, i started that post to get some ideas on fun things the law student and i could do while on vacation. i then began imagining the reality of our vacation. i assume our friends have jobs, lives, things to take care of, et cetera, et al, and will spend their waking moments taking care of these things. i personally don't want to use up all my vacation days staring at someone's apartment walls waiting on them to get done with errands, or going along on these errands (not that i'm that averse to it--costco can be fun), or worse--watching the law student and friends play video games--so we can all go out. don't get me wrong. i can't wait to see people (mostly jules), and the law student is really about to wet himself with anticipation. i know our evenings will be full of partying, hanging out and quality time with friends. i'm just worried about those 8 hours of daylight doing nothing. if i don't get out and do something active, etc., i'll become as big as a hippo and never be able to come home due to embarrassment. and yes, for short people, weight gain happens that fast. so yesterday, on our way to walk the roxy, i expressed these concerns with the law student.
he does not agree.
the law student explicitly informed me last night that he is going solely to visit his friends, and has no other outside interests. at all. he plans to see all of them, which led me to the question: "so, you think we're going to pack up every day and 'move' somewhere different and spend a night with all your friends? no sir."
"well, you can go spend the night with jules."
"oh, really? because she has to work and lives with two boys i've never met. and i won't have a car (not that i could drive in la if my life depended on it anyway). no thanks."
(which begs the question, where, and with who, exactly are we staying?)
did i mention our anniversary is right smack in the middle of our trip?
i did offer a compromise: something fun together on our anniversary and talking jules into faking a migraine and heading to the beach for a day, or something (here's looking at you jules. get on it). the rest of the trip would be completely impetuous. the law student did not confirm.
should be a fun and memorable vacation for everyone involved. anybody have any fun things to do in la solo?
