Friends!

 I am one of the luckiest people ever when it comes to friends.  I really can only be in a bad mood for a few hours until one of them brightens my day.

Last weekend, I drove up to Surfside Beach, South Carolina to see my good friends, Eleanor and Nigel.  I'm so glad that E and I are still tight even though we live a few states away these days. 

The main excuse to go up there was to see our favorite DJ, Girl Talk again.

This guy is amazing and his shows are so much fun.  I also had a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" at the so-named Jimmy Buffet themed restaurant.  If you have to eat meat, this is a great place to do it.

They live literally next to the ocean, so we went to the beach.  E was just telling me about all the ridiculous (and sometimes nice) beach weddings when they started setting up TWO weddings.  One on either side of us. 

Of course we had to watch. ha ha. 

Saturday night we got on a Turquoise Jeep kick and stayed up until all hours of the morning watching all their videos on YouTube and laughing hilariously.  Here is a little taste:

ridiculous, right?

Yesterday I was in kind of a stressed out mood again (I mean, I had just written the last post, right?), then the two friends I am visiting in Turkey; Bora and Pinar conference Skyped me and planned my trip (awesome, thanks!).  Bora found a round trip flight from Istanbul to Antioch for 119TL (Turkish Lira) which is like $66 (US), amazingly cheap, even by Turkish standards.  I can't wait!

Next stop, over to Buket's.  Her friend Ayse just graduated from film school and I got to watch her final project!  Hopefully I can post it later, it was very cool. 

Then hanging with my roommate for the next 2 days, Tara.  We are going out tonight--sort of her last night before she moves to Tampa    Now I really have to start getting my own stuff, ha ha.
