Amsterdam

So, i am sitting in the service station of centraal (yes, two a's) station waiting to validate my ticket and hopefully get a reservation on a night train to copenhagen. i am a bit worried about time though because i am supposed to meet mathilde and daniel back at the hostel at six, so i either have to stand them up or leave here pretty shortly. this place is way worse than the DMV, by far. i think they have only helped five people in the last twenty minutes, even though there are eight desks open. awesome. well, yesterday all i did was walk, and it was amazing (but exhausting).

i stayed out a bit later than i was expecting on tuesday since i went out with stephen. we went to grab a beer in leidseplein, then it started raining so we just sat there for a bit. eventually richard came and met up with us. i love that he is into music, but i hate that we have no common ground in that regard. we tried to talk about gauges, but the metric system kind of screwed that up, too. we went to soundgarden after that, which i really liked. we passed paradiso on the way, and i looked on amorously. at soundgarden they were supposed to be showing a movie, but we ran into their finnish friend matthias and his friend yana, so we smoked, drank, and then went to this other bar whose name escapes me...but it reminded me of harry potter because it sounded a bit like karkaroff. it was kind of dead, but it was still fun. matthias was way, way, way too drunk and at one point laid down in the street, but it made things much more interesting. well, when he wasn't making fun of me for being texan.
