Is it wierd to miss something you are just SOOOO happy is long over? Or even just things that are recently over that were part good, part not so good...? Things that, when you really think about it, were so terrible, nasty, or just downright awkward (on both sides)...?
I miss Madrid. (yeah, throw the tomatoes now please, I´m begging) That should be good reason to doubt my sanity. Over all, I think we´re all very happy that Madrid is over. But, I still miss it. The completely psycho things we would sometimes do, the walks I´d take every day with Antwone in the freezing cold, going to Peñas Albas, buying chuches, pipas in the back yard, wanabe photography (on my part) and endless photoshoots (with vicky), dropping anything from oranges to charcol into Adam´s precious water-filled beer mug (maaaan did we hear it from him after that...), midnight excapades, cat-a-pult (get it, get it? CAT? whatever) and the screaching meyows when they´d accidentally on purpose hit the tree - "whoops, did you hear a thump? Me neither. Next." Going to the Poli at dark in the dead of winter to attempt a photo shoot, get this, SOAKING WET. Needless to say I found that sub-zero temperatures dont go very well with wet clothes... Beer and pipas on wnr nite, avoiding the creepy security guard car, House, The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride, chatting, endless chatting... brazilian beans, kids that I eventually learned to love, Commercial centers and the Market first thing in the freezing, freezing morning, trying to climb the hill with 10 liters of beer on a suddenly sizzling day (still dont know how it got so hot so suddenly), and then being rescued from the climb after betting on whether the next car would contain english speaking occupants so that we would be able to hitch hike instead of walk (coincidentally, Adam and Rose happened to be the next car along... ) That hideous veggie room that was endlessly full of slime, pissed off people, freezing cold house, always under 4 blankets, sweaters, colorful stuff and white couches, frozen pizza, frozzen fried rice, and cheese... And a drunken, drunken new years.
And that was just Madrid.
Valencia, the slightly less insane, but nonetheless chaotic (in a very lovable way) home. The freaky but wonderfully perfect house, Los Niños, the wednesday supermarket pickups, summer, heat, the emo park, the red room, Airport Mania, Monkey Island with myself, Mishu, Mofius and Fran, empty rooms, couches, metal screaming, late, bright evenings (we´d get home at 10:00 pm and the sun would be setting..), parties, more wierd stuff, moving, painting, writing, more moving, Teramitica, people visiting, barbeques, graduations, birthdays, trouble, fun, worry, tender moments, sad moments, living, just living, building a home, going through the thick and the thin of it, and hopefully coming out a better person. Metting new people, making new friends...
And then there was, of course, Los Belones (ouch... :P)
Doing nothing all day (much to the anoyance of the others), putting babies to sleep at night, pubbing, making MORE friends, singing karaoke, pool parties, Commercial centers, actually making MONEY at Commercial centers, sudoku, parks, absinthe, beer, more beer... whining (on my part) cleaning (on Ozie´s and Esy´s part), and all that sort of stuff............
There´s a few more things that i really, really miss, but that´ll have to stay confidential.
So IS it that wierd that I miss it all so much...? It was home. My home. And after it is all said and done, thank God that I can only remember the good. And that´s what makes me miss it so much more.
I loved Spain.
No. Scratch that.
I love Spain.

actually i did meet you once, it was at a london airport where everyone was jetting off to eurock, and you were fresh out of lebanon, nice and pure, with bad makeup and un-dyed hair. that was before the wilkinsons sank their teeth into you and turned you into a clone of them. :)
i just thot you were really nice when i met you, you were really cute and sweet and PURE. when i heard you were going there, i almost prayed for your protection. the wilkinsons are the biggest two-faced bunch of female dogs whose heads are stuck up so far their own arses they can't see the sunlight.
i could be wrong about you tho, i don't know what you're like now and from your blog you seem pretty original, wacky and funny, so if im wrong then kudos to you.
I guess I should...relax, take it eeeeeasy!!! geeeeeee......we shld so go to X factor dude...lol

mel, you've obviously completely misunderstood what i was trying to say, it was more of a compliment than anything else.
and just because i choose not to put my name does not make me a villain. i know you all secretly want some dumb little anonymous try to stir things up on your blog and make you feel famous and cool like that amaranthine fellow. but that's not what i am and that's not what i was trying to do.
maybe you should try reading my posts a little more carefully? next time you wanna throw something someone's said back in their face cos you wanna look cool in front of your little friends, maybe think harder before you speak. cos this isn't saying much for you.
but yes this is your blog ... so im not going to waste anymore time on you.
'ave a nice life now! ;)
"h" just like you except your the freaking retart who doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself or should I say, itself! If you like to go around and write stupid things to people and then put down others, and try and show your linguistic abilities which are obviously lacking! You are most obviously the person you have described yourself as, "a fucked up person"! You say you don't wanna waste ur time, but you obviously have nothing better to except for write stupid things on peoples pages, wanna be an ass hole? go shove ur head up ur own ass. And "h" is anybody who calls themselves "h", until they prove their real identity! So technically this is all from "h"! Which I'm sure 99 percent would agree with me!
Oh my oh my....ugh...you people who like to think you're so much better then everyone else bother me so bad! GEEEZ. Just the fact that your saying this stuff and to top it off as anon doesn't say much for you or your character.
As Mel said we all judge people without meeting them, and it's forgivable. But believe me I know it sucks to do that, I've been on both sides, and they aren't pretty places to be.
So anyhow.....I expect a nice pretty sorry from you.
Go eat some ketchup is all I have left to say to you H.

I hope we can close this topic down now and all go on with our merry lives..(counting the peeps with their heads up their asses...which I didn't say btw...)
But yeah, Mel, maybe it's time you posted something new. Before ppl start killing each other.
CIAO!
