The road trip is done.
I had fun. THe traveling and the going out and seeing the sites was a blast. Showing Arjan the US scenery (like the mountains near my dads when he only knows flat land) and also showing him crazy americans (like the locals in said mountains).
Of course it also raised some questions. Like Im reasonably certain that hes is frequently not really paying attention to me. I mean we have great conversations, get along fine. But then he does stupid little obnoxious things and doesnt seem to notice how they irritate me. Like when I end up with his cigarette smoke in my face, even though Ive made it really clear that I have real issues with it, and i cough and wave it away, and he just laughs at me. You want to injale that filth, fine, but heres a thought, when you exhale try to blow the smoke in a direction that is not mine.
Oh, and dont fuck with my radio when Im trying to drive through the traffic in the city. Actually, lets just make that dont fuck with my radio.
BUt anyway, besides finding some new things that we need to discuss (how does one talk to someone about the fact that they arent really paying attention anyway? Will he hear that better than anything else ive said so far?) It was a lot of fun.
I got to hang out with some people i havent seen in awhile. Like my cousin, her husband, and there 9 month old, who immediately desided that Arjan was a jungle gym. A very well dressed jungle gym. He was very intrigued by his accesories.
Also got to meet some new people on this trip. Hung out in New Haven with Joenobody. Hes a nice guy, and was fun to hang out with.
Ill update later with some pics, and maybe some more fun stories from the trip.
