DAY 17~sweet oden's raven, we found pot!!!

last night i was sitting around and decided there was no way i could stay in and at least had to go walk around and get a drink or something because we ad class at 9am and had to be ready for barcelona, so susan (serandon) and i got ourselves together and headed out toward the river to this bar near where the steps were that day i met homeless tommy, my newest buddy. this place seemed really cool, and finally we were at a bar where it looked as is these were normal romans, not the american girl molesters that we were used to. it was weird though because we totally stood out, A) b/c we were so not acting italian, couldnt even order the wine we wanted lol, the bartenders gave us an attitude and B) we were the worst dressed people there, and we werent even sloppy. these people dress so well always, im pretty sure the janitor at our school is probably wearing a Chanel suit.

oh well, it was fun but the greatest surprise we found was that inside there was a buffet of all these italian things like couscous's, bread, salad, dressings, veggies, cold pastas, fruit, and some other stuff...apparently the cool thing is to do this now certain days a week. if you buy a drink you just get to eat all this stuff lol its great, at least if we spend all our money on the trips we can find a way to get free food

this is where the best part of the night comes in, serandon and i went to a gelato store so i could get a beer and she picked up a cannoli then we headed to the steps, ppl were jsut hanging out, drinking, i think i saw homeless tommy but he was sleeping when i saw him and a lit cigarette fell from his mouth, what a guy...

then we walked across the street to the bridge..this is where i almost cried tears of joy...we were just hanging out drinking the beer and i smelled the aroma of a lifetime...pot...my eyes were glowing as i turned in what felt like slow motion and then i finally saw a group of guys passing a joint haha...i immediately informed susan i had to make a move and talk to these people so i did..i did the universal sign of smoking and asked and they said to wait a little b/c they were getting too...i almost fainted i was so excited...so we waited, a drunk black guy stumbled up to me, tried to take my beer, was mumbling english to me i couldnt understand but for the hope that i would not get stabbed i was nice but when i wouldnt hand over the beer he called me racist and stumbled away..i screamed "my best friend is black" then "susan loves black men" he still did not forgive us and yelled at me a few more times.

as i was pondering the idea of buying a bow and arrow set this african guy was selling the guys came up to me and said it was time to make the deal...this was exciting...i could tell old susanna was getting nervy so i said she could stay back while i make the deal of a lifetime but she wanted to come along...we headed down the bridge and stopped at a man i am sure was straight out of africa and just returned from mission of leading his people from one side of the jungle to the other...he was literally wearing this :


so i walked over with this guy and as we were walking i asked if it was good pot and he said "yea..its REALLY good, trust me i wouldnt be buying shit"..in a hot italian accent haha

we went over, i gve this guy 40 euro...the adrican reach into his dress and pulled out 2 fat bags of what smelled and looked like some amazing pot!

i smiled the whole way home w/ susan and was so excited to tell jess..it was the moment we've been patiently waiting for!!! of course the nugget was sleeping but finally woke up as i finished rolling a large joint...we had a moment of silence for the occasion, hugged it out, then smiled for the rest of the night...it was the best day everrrrr



so we passed out with large smiles and had class at 9am...boof

class was fine, had another w/ katiie after w/ the most boring man known to man, and he has one of those sagging chins where they think a beard will hide theyre pelican neck when it really doesnt...then had a break till 5 and on the way back was a great discovery...

every thursday in rome, maybe all of italy i dono, but is GNOCCHI DAY!!! its awesome..the food is redic so i got some to bring back...then i spoke to the guy we met the other night, the one who worked at the colosseum bar crawl, and made plans for him to come hang out, it was fun, we smoked and got gelato , we now have a new friend and we're going to meet on wednesday w/ his boss to get jobs...aka we drink for free and get paid to go out...sounds like a great job for me, i have plenty of experience ;0)

after jon left we packed and organized our room, jess and kaitie made the 2 hr each way trip to ikea today and now we are finally proud owners of drawers, hangers and mirrors and it is glorious!!! our rooms are organized and are a lot better

we are all packed for barcelona and it is now 2am...we are leaving in 2 hrs...ohhh shitttttt...thank god i have a large supply of adderol
