Last night Jennifer, Diana, and I went out to dinner in the city, and as well as Ansen, who was in town for the holidays. We had lots of fun since we only got to see Ansen on special occaisions, either when we go visit him in LA or he comes to visit us in the Bay Area.
Though, much of the night was spent reliving our college years, Jennifer had never heard most of the stories, so it was almost all new to her. She was a bit in awe, the lengths we used to go to to have a good time, especially in LA. We had forgotten who started the rivarly, but we had stories about Ansen hiding in the trash chute to scare me, the surprise birthday party I planned for Ansen, with water balloons and all, and how Diana couldn't throw a water balloon properly, my surprise birthday party where they *tried* to get me drunk, another surprise birthday party where Ansen rigged my bathroom with exploding whip cream, my gosh, I think Diana was laughing so hard, she had stomach cramps afterwards!
We got to the city a little earlier since Diana and Jen wanted to do some shopping at Union Square before dinner. Dinner was at the Thirstybear Brewing Company, something which I had been wanting to do for a long time. We had a huge variety of Spanish Tapas along with a pitcher of sangria. We were so stuffed, we needed a long walk to help clear some of the food, in which we walked all the way down to the piers along the Embarcadero. We sat along the piers, watching over the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge for some time, before deciding it was time for desert at the Equinox atop the Hyatt Regency Hotel in San Francisco. There we sat until the wee hours of the night. Ok, well, up to 1AM, anyway....
Our last words spoken that night, "the car is not that far, only about 5 blocks...." In truth, not really. =P
