Narnia and Its Aftermath

No story about yesterday can begin without telling about the terrible storm. It wasn't so terrible, really, and didn't last very long. It was only memorable because right in the middle of the worst of it I had to walk home. The wind was very strong and blowing snow right into my face and my eyes, and I was pretty miserable for about 15 minutes before I got to my apartment.

What was strange about it was the thunder. I have never experienced a thunder snowstorm before, and it was quite startling.

Last night was the section movie event to Narnia that I "organized". By "organizing" I mean sending out an email announcing my intention to go and inviting anyone who's interested to come with me. Eleven people ended up coming, including S, A, ABS, R, JE, IH, (all the usual suspects, as you can see), and also a friend from Oxford, L, who's here in the States on break and visiting her parents.

Before the movie nine of us went out to dinner at a Korean'Japanese restaurant. We then took the subway to the theater. The movie itself was good but not as good as the Harry Potter movie. I did get somewhat upset when Aslan died though and was happy when he came back to life.

Afterwards, a bunch of people went home, and the rest of us who wanted to hang out some more (IH, S, RE, A, and L) called up J and her husband and we then hung out at a pub for a long time, long enough so the subway stopped running.

I never knew how hard it was to find a cab in this city. But then again I've never had the occasion of trying to get home on a cold Friday night after midnight when the entire town is out and about. It took us like 50 minutes to find L a cab to send her home.

The rest of us then proceeded to a club where J and I (and S! surprisingly) danced somewhat. The way S danced reminded me a little of my high school prom date JK.

Guys at the club were very aggressive. I was groped a half dozen times. One guy wouldn't let go of my hand. I had to yank it away from him.

The club closed at 2 AM, and extremely drunk people streamed out into the street looking for transportation home. It was not pretty. Since there were so many of us we had to find two cabs, which compounded the problem.

We finally found a cab and A, S, and I went back to C-Town. We wandered around some more in searching of ONE food establishment that was open and still serving food. By then it was close to three. There was none.

We did run into ABS and his queer friends eating at a pupular late-night Chinese place in the Square. They then walked home with us. By the time I got back to the apartment, it was after 4.

Woke up around 11:30 today and have been reading crim ever since. No hangovers, surprisingly.

Boyfriend, however, says he's feeling sick and is not coming up today. We IMed for a bit and I told him to drink hot soup and sleep a lot. Sniff.
