| | Happy Birthday, Mark!
2009 has already started off with losing some old friends, some very close, some not so much, but either way, it all balances out in the end... I've lost some old friends, gained some new ones, and even old friends have become new! It's unbelievable to me that Mark and I have been friends since 1999 - that's NINE years. We haven't been in the same state for FIVE years. We haven't seen each other in THREE years. We haven't talked on the phone or exchanged emails in probably at least a YEAR. Until NOW, he's moved to SF!
Too bad we can't relive our indie and foreign film-seeing days like we did back in NYC - oh, the Angelika - but we can relive some of our college years. With money.
We celebrated Mark's 28th (holy shit, I'm turning 28 this year. Fuck.) bday at Beretta in the Mission. It was delicious, the pizza crisp, the wine flowing, the conversation entertaining.... especially w/ Mark's boisterous boss and coworkers. (Mark himself is quite quiet, which makes it funnier.)
Johnny, Mark's boss. Dennis, Mark's college friend, who I didn't know in college. Maybe Mark never introduced us b/c he was embarrassed to be my friend. Damn. Sliver of Mark's HS friend, Jimmy.
Jimmy, with his "Recycling is SEXY" t-shirt, and the bday boy in his shiny fancy schmancy shirt. I did say we were reliving college years but WITH MONEY. Is that shiny shirt bling bling or what?
Mark, waitress who needs a pushup bra (or ANY bra), Jennifer (also Mark's college friend who I didn't know in college - shiet...), and his coworker, Aaron, who is from Houston and is 22. These are the things I remember when I meet people.
Then we went off to imbibe lots of alcohol in some Mission dive joint, and we chose Amnesia. How fitting.
I assume Johnny was telling a story, but you know what, I forgot. Amnesia.
Jennifer + Dennis. Maybe I did meet them in college, but I forgot. Amnesia.
Happy Birthday, Takahiro Mark! I'll never forget that you were my first friend in college. Welcome to SF!! <3
