homesick

this one's a weekend recap. you won't know the names, so let's make it a game. you try to guess which of these people are hippies.

friday was murphy's with british matt. frank came out because his sworn enemy demian was coming over to our house. matt's friend maureen brought out some friends, and they brought their boyfriends. i was charming and polite. an ethnomusicology major dug it. i told her where i'm from and she said it's better down here than a lot of suburban kids think. i said shit yeah, and told her about some rosalies-type places at the edge of town. she told me how underappreciated the local jazz/funk scene is.

back to maureen's place for beers. the jazz girl wanted to smoke. the prettiest girl's boyfriend passed out. frank and i said it didn't make sense, but i bet you five bucks to a stale donut he makes her breakfast in the morning and she doesn't have to worry about him sleeping around.

saturday was remarkably similar, but with more germans. sunday i went to bloomington and took sam and his new girl of two months out to dinner. he wants to marry her. so do i. but he needs to stop talking about it.

matt and anna were having a shot contest when i got back. matt almost lost on oatmeal, but somehow it was saltwater that did him in. anna took it all like a champ, so i made her house sweetheart.

now the payoff: which of these people are hippies?
