The calm before the storm

First off, is it weird that I always blog naked? I would have to say that at least 75% of all these blogs have been written while I was undressed. Just a side note, really.

Yesterday was probably one of the best days ever. It started with lunch. I met with Hunter at Room Service. Always a good time there, but still I would have rather been at Spice (it had a wait, whereas R.S. was basically empty). The whole point of meeting up with Hunter was to get AIDS tests. So to procrastinate, we got lunch.

We finished our meal and then decided to get some Pinkberry, I always get the original flavor, medium sized with strawberries, kiwi and granola. It is so delicious; if you haven't had it yet go to Pinkberry right now and get some. We then walked over to a clinic that James Coppola told us about. We went in and they sent me up to a teenager program because I am 21 (that was the cutoff age; also that program was cheaper). They took some information and set up a test later on in the afternoon. Hunter was downstairs in a less cool area and also got an appointment for later on in the afternoon.

We had about 2 hours of time to kill. Thank God the weather was so beautiful. Seriously, yesterday had to be like 50 degrees. And it was sunny. The clinic is on 18th and 9th so we decided to walk over to the water. We walked up and down the edge of the water, through Chelsea Piers and up to a park. It was just so peaceful and relaxing. Exactly what we needed before we went to get tested. We were both nervous, as neither of us had been tested in a while.

A little bit about Hunter. I love the guy. He is one of those people that if you are his friend he is just so amazing. Through his new sobriety, I am feeling encouraged to live a more sober life as well. I thank God everyday that I have him in my life. We laugh and joke a lot, but underneath it there is a sincerity that is just really rare. I guess that is why we hang out a lot. We can just talk without any sense of judgment between us.

So we are having a great day but now it was time to go back and get tested. Hunter went first and then I went a half hour later. It was probably one of the most stressful hours ever. He told me all about the questions they asked him and what they did and how they did it. I was sitting with him when the lady came out and said "Hunter, I have your results." He want back to the room and came right back out less than a minute later smiling. Negative. Awesome. One down and then it was my turn. I had this guy, who was actually pretty cute, administer my exam. He didn't ask that many questions and the whole thing went by pretty quick. Just a prick on the finger and I was done. The twenty minutes of waiting was pretty stressful for me. I was trying to joke around with Hunter saying "If you don't have it, there is no way I do." etc... The guy came out and just pointed to me and did that thing they did on Sex and the City when Samantha got her results. Didn't even say my name or anything. So I am like freaking out, and I sit down and he goes "Negative." Oh yeah! No AIDS for me. I was ecstatic.

We decided to get Billy's Bakery as a celebration. Phil, who used to work at the Big Cup, was working there and he gave me and Hunter a huge discount. Could the day get any better? We ended up walking down a little ways along the pier and it was just glorious.

We hung out for pretty much the rest of the night. It was just one of those amazing days.

Today I wake up at 11:15 to the construction across the street. So I am like, okay, let's get up and have a productive day, but not before I sleep for another ten minutes. Oh no! God forbid I get those ten minutes. Hunter calls me exactly at 11:16. God. Right? He says he is around the block and I need to get up and ready for breakfast. I cave in and do it. We went to Vynl and got some delicious breakfast.

He had two hours to kill and we both wanted to see Vantage Point. We just made the 1:00 showing and watched the movie. It was P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L. Besides that Forrest Whitaker. I HATE HIM. No actor should be that ugly. He literally looks and sounds like Yogi the Bear. Every time he was on screen I could not take him seriously. He is just disgusting and looks like a fat seal. The way he smiles, his ears, just everything about him disgusts me.

Anyways, we leave the movie and it is raining out. I didn't even mind it. It was nice this morning and the rain seemed refreshing.

I know this blog is getting long so rather than write about what I am going to be doing tonight, I will just write about it tomorrow.

Kiss kiss?
