time midnight feeling happy to be with my sister reading The Dive From Clausen's Pier wearing Jenny's shirt, LEIs music all over the place again ready for ? next make fun of 'Hobes' some more...just kidding JJ!
So far the hardest thing about Spain has been Jenny's tricky shower. The language, it comes back. The lifestyle, I am enjoying it. The people, excelente. But that damn shower - every time I shower it's un aventura in every way, I just can't figure it out!
ANYWAY. So here I am in Espana, con mi hermana, viviendo la vida loca y bonita. Please excuse my Spanglish, it is quite terrible. The flights were fantastic, even more decadent than the 'business elite lounge', and I cried when I saw Jenny. I didn't realize how much I'd missed her, I guess.
I also laughed, and laughed, our connection is so strong that I can just look at her and know what she's thinking. Nobody makes me happier with just her face.
OK really. So what have we been up to? Now this has just become a joint update, per Jenny (And you thought *I* was demanding - just kidding). Jenny says this "spree or date bacon." "Dude you don't say anything I want you to say," she says. According to JJ, this is what we've been up to:
"Defending ourselves from being made fun of." ("But it's okay for Matt," she adds.)("Like Hobes.")("I'm making your update one big piece of crap aren't I?")(" 'I just have to squeeze the shit out of something!' ")("It's not shit it's crap I don't say shit.")
OK. ("She just can't write fast enough for all the things I say.")("You know waht would make it better? If we were DRUNK!") ANYWAY. I'm totally trying to write this frickin' update but Henny keeps interrupting with funny comments ("I'll wait til you're done writing to make another witty comment." -- see?!) so it's making things difficult. So that's right, tonight I saw my sister experience the constant teasing I seem to experience, as well as give people the 'look of death,' haha, it's a family thing. Jenny says this:
"Yeah but the Look fo Death makes it worth all the teasing. I like that."
Haha! See, she's my twin.
JENNY WRITES: "Now I have to find the lines on the paper cuz I atually WRITE ON THE LINES. So my job is to write what important stuff I've" (crossed out to rewrite 'we've') "been doing. Notice the 'I've' . (Lexi: 'Dude I'm not going to put looseleaf on the frickin' computer.' Jenny: 'Well that's what I was thinking.) OK to explain the 'I've' comment, it's not cuz Jenny is self involved it's cuz Lexi and Jenny are so alike that the 'we've' becomes an 'I've.'
OK this is Lexi again. WTF?! with that? What a sorry ass update. ("Joint update means joint update." ---J "What do you want to do, every other word? 'Hi - I'm - LexiJenny.' " ---Matt "or hobes"). So I'll at least attempt to forgive this transgression. ("I'm trying to think of something funny to say but I can't. I'm spent." ---J)
So yes, Tuesday we arrived, had some pizza and carrots and died into sleeping. Experiencing this jet lag has been very interesting for me ever since reading the book "Faster" and examining the concept of time.
Oh God. Right now Jenny's trying to learn how to roll her R's and instead it sounds like she's a slobbery drunk. ("Like?" Jenny says) She's 'making' dessert and I can hear her practicing to herself. ("Perro? Perro?...Shut UP!" ---J)
Anyway. Yes then we went out and enjoyed a $3 bottle of wine and 'tortellini' (whatever THAT was about). Then to Max Max (I just like the name). No matter where we go I am amazed by the variety of people we meet. I wake up and I can't believe I'm in Spain. I LOVE IT.
Every other paragraph is about Jenny ("Duh!" she says). So she wants you to know that she is NOT drunk right now. Like me she can often find herself ACTING drunk when she is not at all. OK.
Weds after MORE sleeping Jenny 'went' to 'class' but really we hit up the beach. YEAH. ("SLUURRRRRP!" ---Jenny eating ice cream) Jenny made us a dlightful lunch and we made fun of each other for awhile. After a nap (note that right now Jenny is LICKING her PLATE - "it's good" she says) we went ot dinner ("hey I lick my plate too - and get it on my nose!" ---J's roommate Emily)(note that NOW Jenny is hanging her spoon from her nose - OK) at 11:30 pm ("shleak!" Jenny says after taking soem of my dessert, "what's your reaction time, five minutes?!" ---J).
OK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. To be continuted...
"Hey this is fun. Want me to help you with all your updates?" ---J
---Lexi
Fue a la Discoteca
"OK one paragraph later...so Lexi and Matt finally arrived, before this Jenny cleaned the WHOLE apt because she was so antsy for their arrival. Naturally the apt is a mierda now, though. On Tuesday, Lexi & Matt slept for awhile and then we went to Max Max, and OK I suck at this, Lexi will tell you what we did (reminder for Lex: cathedral, beach, dog, bus, tower of cathedral, cheese bread, ice cream, sleeping arrangement, Diablito, etc) OK so one great plus of the trip is they get along great with Charlotte, of course they would she's French! OK bored now cuz Lexi isn't here I thought this was a JOINT UPDATE hello! Outie."
