them and i

what can i say about a three-day trip that begins with the world's best authentic homemade brownies... brownies as in brownies and not cake batter poured into a baking tray (there is a difference). between momma's lasagne, brownies and two fruit 'n nut cakes, im high on chocolate and 5lbs heavier. technically. when i invited momma over to lahore, i really didnt know what to expect. i had had a great tym at their place when i went to isloo in May or somat... and i figured the least i could do to return their hospitality is allow to teenagers a break from islamabad... in the words of daWiseMomma, "the capital of boredom." (although i did spend their trip arguing with the boys why lahore rocked and isloo didnt... we had a slight difference of opinion there...) that wasnt the only thyng we argued about... they accused me of speaking british, and said they spoke english... i said they spoke american... which wasnt a language, but a bunch of words thrown together to make semi-coherent sentences... now, im old. right? at 23, one forgets what being 19 was like... it WAS years ago, you know. but i thynk i did somat right, cuz sometym during their trip, one of the boys said: "you know what, you are kinda O-K." 0_0 i thynk that was a compliment. i dont thynk aniraz and abez wouldve approved much of how we spent the three days... i believe it would be termed "corrupting the kids"... we played flash (3-card-poker) with monopoly money, had sheesha and drove around the shadier parts of town... i thynk the kids were hoping to get mugged, but that didnt happen :p we played chess. ah yes. and i beat z4's friend 3-2 ... (not counting the two other times he beat me... once showing me the 5-move mate, and the other tym i shouted was a "practice match"). "i beat a Russian! i beat a Russian! i beat a Russian!" has a really nice ring to it... dont you thynk? we ALMOST raced our cars, but z4's momma said "i wouldnt encourage them if i were you".... not that they needed encouragement, seeing how i was dared to accept the challenge. i thynk i heard momma mutter "you're worse than they are..." but i may have imagined it ;) but i thynk they had a good tym. they agreed to staying a day longer :) see, the interesting thyng here is... by the third night, the 'boys' crawled into their beds at midnight... out of fatigue (boredom is not an option here). the house has been quiet since them folks left. i need more guests before i start college. it'll take my mind off of issues like leaving home (the thought is KILLING me). any takers for the offer -- free boarding, lodging, momma's home-made lasagne... and most importantly ... the company of hemlock herself.
