 Damn, it feels good be a Hoosier again. I hopped several stones getting here (Dallas and Kansas city,) and I thought the flight might be intense for me, but I was just fine. I don't know why all of the sudden I think I'm going to die on every flight I take because I've been on planes often since I was very little. Last night I went out to dinner with two of the most amazing people I know, David and Julia. The dinner was slightly awkward because of this: every time you take a long hiatus from friendship with someone you must spend at least an hour or two becoming re-adjusted to each other. After that, things are completely back to normal and the fun part begins. As I predicted, the fun did begin as we went out to some not-so-fun bars and we began ruminating past times and discussing our futures. We joined Kevin Lonzo's "bachelor" party, which was just another night out it seemed, but had a lot of fun none the less. His bride to be is beautiful, and Kevin has gained quite a bit of weight. I wish them the best....truly. After dancing at some overpriced yet gross place, David, Julia, Brian (who had joined us) and I went back to David's for a bit of post outness winding down, which actually turned out to be winding up all over again. The four of us ended up skinny-dipping in his pool, which was glorious and exactly like old times. It was complete with his mother yelling at us through the window to "STFU." This morning when she made us pancakes she said that she saw "butts in the moonlight," which sounded like the title of a hilarious short play to me. The night concluded with the four of us in a obviously not-made-to-sleep-four bed, but that was the novelty of it all. Brian and I woke up next to each other in our underwear and feigned a bit of a cuddle, though I believe that both of us wanted to actually cuddle romantically. Who knows if that'll ever happen? There was a time when he thought he might be bisexual, though that was quickly paved over by testosterone and Catholicism. Dave and his mother Nancy seemed so well for having their father/husband pass away only a few months ago. They're such strong and intelligent people. Waking up to Dave's jazz on the piano was the icing on the cake. I missed these people terribly, I just wish they could always be in my life. I'm so happy I came for a visit. Tonight is dinner with Paul. Good luck to me... huzzah!
