marco/oscar

this past weekend emma and i and some friends went to watch the barcelona vs espanya futbol game

so i was walking around the city with some cool people...well, i'll introduce my new friends first.

on the left is kevin (he goes to cornell, haha), and it goes like this: jeanna, josh (an ithaca townie, once again...hahaha), ali, and adrian. that's a picture of us waiting to watch the sunset behind the olympic stadium. they are pretty cool.
ok, so back to the beginning. i was walking around the city with some pretty cool people when my phone starts to ring. i answer, and it is a random man's voice speaking in english with an extremely strong accent. the conversation goes like this:
hello?
is this claire?
umm, yeah. who is this?
i hear you speak very good spanish.
not really, who is this?
i am oscar, juaquina's friend...she tells me you are very pretty. i would like to meet you sometime?
well i guess you'll have to talk to juaquina then...but i can't really hear you. it's pretty loud here (haha, i was in a church!)...wait, what did you say? umm...ok, i'm gonna go now.....

hahaha, whoa.

apparently my host mother is a pretty big partier. the other weekend emma and i went out, nothing too crazy. when we came home at like 1, my senora was just leaving to go out for the night. we find out the next night at dinner (as my senora cringes at all sources of sound and light) that she went to two parties, then to a dance club (discoteca) until 6AM, followed by breakfast, and then home to sleep.

i met oscar later that weekend (his name, as it turns out, is actually marco), and he informed us that he wanted to be our host mother's boyfriend. oh boy.
