I found a Sonic today, while driving back from getting Brian at Ian's house. First Sonic I'd seen in Austin, so I pulled into it, rather hastily, and got us some lunch. Vanilla Creme Cokes. =D
Ok, before I continue with today, I'm gonna go back to Friday, because I feel like I emo skipped over it. It was actually really good, so here goes.
Around lunch time, I found out my 2:00 Logic class got cancelled, which just gave me more time to lay around and wait for Brian. I texted him a couple of times to check his status, and then took a pretty good napish thing while waiting. When he was finally in town and at the house, he sent me the address, and I Google mapped it. I wrote the directions down and ran to Jester East to get Summer.
When I got in Jester East I saw Jacob and Norman, so I went to say hey. They were working on their projects for our Java class, and so I got to sit down with them and help them with their code. =D
Summer came down, and as we were about to head out Brian told me to instead just head to this restaurant, Verdes. Luckily, Jacob had his laptop, and willingly searched for directions from UT. He showed them to me, and I erased our old instructions, and wrote the new ones. We said our goodbyes, and headed to the car.
We finally made it to my car, and started the drive. It was starting to get dark, so we were hoping all our directions were correct. We were going good, until we couldn't find the street, and ended up calling Brian. He didn't know where we were, or Ian (his friend who lives here), but thankfully the waitress was able to get us to the restaurant.
In our defense, it was dark and hard for Summer to read the directions.
Well, we got there, and Brian greeted us at the door with a huge hug. I miss that guy with everything in me that is capable of missing someone. We then went over to the table, and introduced ourselves to Carrie and Ian. Both of them are really awesome people, and it was fun getting to meet them and do dinners. I'm not sure I could describe Ian based off of anyone else that I know, but Carrie is like a mixture between Meghan and Kelcey (With a quarter Mexican thrown in). We sat down, and ordered our food, and just talked.
I'm pretty sure there could have been no food, and it still would have been great. We talked about everything, and I'm pretty sure I heard at least 30 stories over the course of the night. Brian showed us some of his new Pyro tricks, which only furthered my believe that Carrie (Who was quite the Pyro herself) was Meghan in a different form. We called it a night after we'd stayed there an hour after the restaurant closed (according to Ian), only to find out it was only 8 minutes past closing.
We went our separate ways for the night, and got back around 11-ish I want to say. I didn't get to bed until 2 in the morning, but I set my alarms for 8:30, 8:45, and 9:00, since Brian said he'd be up at 10. I woke up to find that he stayed up till 2 as well, so he wouldn't be ready till 11. I fell back to sleep till 10, and then got up to shower, and go get my car, and some gas.
I texted him at 11, and he told me he was ready. By the time he asked when I was coming, I was already headed out to Ian's house.
Ok, now remember how I erased the directions to Ian's house to put the directions to Verdes? Well, I did, and even better I didn't have that receipt that I wrote it on. Well, I remembered the first half, and then had an idea for the rest. I drove for a while, before texting Brian and asking if he remembered the directions from the restaurant. He then asked if I was there, to which I replied I had technically passed it.
He took a few more minutes to find some stuff, and I found this street Oak Ridge, which sounded familiar so I went down it. WRONG. I did a u-turn, and got back to the road I was just on, and went right again. A little bit later I saw Heritage Oak, and thought that was really familiar, so I turned down it. Brian had just happened to call, and asked what street I was on.
I told him Heritage Oak, to which he said, "Heritage Oak? That's here!" (Something along those lines, he was partially talking to Ian in the background.) I told him how I was surprised that I had actually guessed the right street without having seen directions since the day before for a few minutes. He then asked if I saw a fork in the road. I told him I saw Not-Simba. (Not-Simba is Carrie's car, and Brian is convinced his name is Simba, but Carrie, Ian, Summer and I don't see it as a Simba.)
He was shocked, and I could hear Ian telling him I was there. I parked, and Brian came out and hopped in the car. We took off, and I told him I was going back to around UT, because I didn't really know anything else around Austin. Right around this time, is when I swerved into the Sonic, because I was really craving Sonic at that moment, and Brian and I hadn't made a Sonic run in forever.
It was epic! From there, I ended up taking him to Toy Joy, the only real place I'd been. He got himself a Sock Monkey Kit. He's excited to build himself that bad boy. Haha. From there we stumbled upon Austin Books and Comics. It was epic!!! There was this huge Hulk, and it was just great! I had to text Brison, and Stickley because it was so awesome. We then found Waterloo Records, where Brian found himself Citizen Kane, which he has been looking for for forever. After Waterloo, we hit up Book People, and spent a good chunk of time going through their books. He found this awesome one about camera angles, and stuff, and I found a cool writing book.
We both had a very good amount of shopping/hanging out. LOVED IT!
Summer finally sent us the "I'm off of work now." text, and we headed back to the campus. I finally got to park next to Jester, and we went to my dorm room and watched some videos. It was pretty great. We finally got Summer, and went out to my car, when we got the news of where we were going to eat. They had Hula Hut in mind, and so Summer with her directionist skills sent us on our way. At first, we ended up going the wrong way, but I got us back around and on the right path.
We then showed up at the Hula Hut right when Ian and his family did, and we got us a table reserved then sat out on the deck. It was really cool, and Lake Travis is beautiful. =D
We got out table, and got drinks, and queso while we waited for Carrie and her friend. They showed up, and we had our dinner. It was a blast, aside from our waitress who kept forgetting everything. =P
We again, spent the whole time talking, and just hanging out. I'm a fan of that. Ian and I split some Fajitas, and it was great! I over ate though, which may be good since I don't usually eat. Haha.
All in all, it was a really good night. I got to give Ian and Brian a drive back to his house, and we said our goodbyes in case we don't get to tomorrow.
=( I don't want him to go again. He has to though, and over all, I'm glad he has an awesome set of friends, and I know he's doing what he need to be doing. Only Brian. =D
So, I hope everyone's Saturday/Friday has been as great as mine. =D
