Working, had plans to go out with Kat but in the end she had to babysit and couldn't come. The thought of staying in crossed my mind but then Tony, this guy we met in Lorient that same morning, texted me to see if I wanted to come to Yacht. If I did! : D
So Tony picked me up on his quad, wao, not really sure quads are my thing but cool to have tried. Turns out Tony and Dom are cousins so the three of us all went to Yacht.
The place was actually happening, never seen it that way, the DJ was awesome, definately the best DJ I've heard in a long time - Paris style. It's weird, that night is so far back in my memory.. or maybe it's just the fact that I'm exhausted. I remember a lot a lot of dancing, I remember laughing with Dom and hanging out outside with Vanja
Dom + Moi
. I remember dancing a bit too close with Philippe and I remember Joc inviting me to have dinner and I remember three really really young mexican guys.It was an amazing night though, I had fun from the beginning until the end. I ran into Bertrand on the dancefloor and he gave me his opinions on most everyone in the club. I talked to Gaenael (how the hell do you spell that name??) and it turns out that 'Old Matthieus' name is Titi.
So the club closes and Dom offers to take me home, Vanja offers to take me home and Bertrand offers to take me home. I'm just loving being so incredibly well looked after : )
What actually happened was that I went to an after at Bubbles with Herve, Bertrand, Fredric, Vanja, Tim (Kim?) and this Portuguse Guy I don't remember the name of + this girl who kept hitting on me and another girl who took her dress off. It was a blast though and I'm so glad Vanja came with us and got to have chill out, it's just more fun when you're on the same level. Eventually Vanja took me home, must have been almost 8, laughing all the way home, I'm getting to like that guy more and more, for some strange reason I feel like serbia and sweden are more alike than with france and all the french.
Friday
Tony + Moi
.2,5 hours of sleep. I didn't want to miss lunch, I knew how freakin hungry I'd get.
And then I wanted to benefit from my day off to get some soleil, so I went to St Jean. Dom was there but didn't come up to say hi, weird, he totally freaked out thursday before leaving and didn't even say goodbye. Strange.
Then walked around St Jean a bit and got a lift home with Alan and then Daniel, nice guys, very easy getting a lift.
At night met up with Kathy and her dad and we had some wine and snacks at her house before going to La Plage for dinner. Dinner was awesome, oh, and our waiter tried to kiss me as I was walking to the bathroom. Weird !!! Never had that happen before.
Then kept on going for drinks at Le Mandala and on to the Strand where we were not allowed to smoke inside until we got a bottle of champagne and then all of the sudden anything we wanted was possible. Funny how those things work.
Kathy got busy with a pharmacist and I was having a really fun (and probably tipsy) conversation with her dad, Bill. Bridger came by and we finally finished the champagne and went on to Casa Nikki
...
. Portuguese Guy from after at Bubbles was working at the door and we ran into Bertrand right outside as well. We got free shots at the bar and danced for our usual 5 minutes before deciding to head for the Yacht. We left Bill behind with some nice looking american women and headed to the other side of town (2 minutes walk that is). At Yacht everything was just as normal, we laughed and tried to speak Serb with Vanja, went inside, said hi to all the bartenders, had some guy get us champagne, Philippe got us some more champagne. Then Mexican kids from Thursday show up, recognize me and we get hooked up with all kinds of shit from them.
We hang out outside with Ganael, I get all these free drinks from Tim (Kim??) who later kisses me, the Mexicans keep wanting us all to go hang out on their boat, the cute bartender from Piment is there and in the end things actually got a little strange.
Joc for no good reason gets pissed off at Kathy and tries to take it out on me, everyone starts to leave, Philippe doesn't want to take us home (what's up with that??) and Tim (Kim??) wants me to come to his place to watch a TV he doesn't even own.
So, as always, Vanja took us home.
I just need to write down some Vanja-isms I do not want to forget:
(Vanja, tell me what to do)
- Then I say, come on Sis, let's go home.
- OK, which one of you girls is getting some ass?
Saturday
Titi + Moi
.Sooo tired.
Bill had invited me to come along to Eden Rock for lunch where they were taking Federico + Virginie + Sara.
Nice and all but I was soooooo tired, a little bit hungover, felt a tiny bit as if I probably didn't fit in and couldn't really say that much about the topics discussed. I had a great meal though and I know for sure I would never have had the money to eat there. Stopped by Fede + Virginies house, really great place, amazing potential but still supertired, still not really sure I fitted into the context.
Finally got back home and just passed out, slept for like two hours. Then time for dinner : )
Bill took us to Nikki Beach, great food, no waiter trying to kiss me neither. Oh, that guy, Daniel, actually showed up at Yacht later on and tried to complete the job Didn't work that time either.
Then Bill drove me and Kat to Saline where Delphine was celebrating her 20th birthday. She might have been just a little bit overserved but the ambiance was great, nice with a fire and just chill with beers and stuff. Perfect calm soiree I needed and we left earlish.
