Fall Break is upon us! Even though I didn't go home this year, I'm still enjoying the long weekend and the break from school. Fall Break kind of started early for me because two of the classes I normally have on Fridays were canceled, which means the break started for me at 11:30 on Friday afternoon. That night I went to go see this band Like Fake Humans perform at the Bitter End. I know almost the entire band, because I met one of the lead singers, Rach, through VP friends last year, and then the other lead singer, Ian, the drummer Josh, and the pianist Devin are all in the Mixtapes with me. The only person I didn't know was their other guitarist Omar, and I met him after the concert. I'd heard of their band before when I met Rach last year but I didn't think too much of it, and I'd never heard any of their music before. This year when I realized that I knew 80% of the band, I decided I needed to give their music a listen. I found their SoundCloud account and listened to everything they had up, and I really like their stuff! So it was pretty cool to see them perform live. I'm also still in constant awe of the people in my a capella group and how talented they are. I mean, everyone's so versatile. Devin sings, arranges music, and plays incredible piano; Ian sings and plays guitar really well; Josh beatboxes and drums like a devil. The other singer Rach is amazing too, I'd never heard her sing before and I really like her voice, it's different but has a really cool quality to it.
Last night Kaitlyn and I went up to her friends Megan and Nick's apartment in Harlem. These are people she met at a bar on her 21st birthday over the summer and immediately bonded with them over Game of Thrones and other nerdy tv shows. They have game nights every once in a while and usually they have them at Kaitlyn's apartment, but this was the first one at Megan and Nick's. Kaitlyn was really excited for me to meet her friends, and I was too! We got there and brought the cranberry orange muffins we made, which were SO GOOD. We played Apples to Apples, Kaitlyn won that one. And then we played this game (I never knew what it was called) where we gave a category and then everyone wrote down something in that category on a small piece of paper which was then taped on the forehead of the person to their left. So everyone had a piece of paper on their foreheads, and we went around in a circle and took turns asking specific people questions about the word(s) on our forehead to try and guess what it was. The first category was common household items, and Kaitlyn gave me three-hole punch which was SO HARD TO GUESS. She kept saying that I was the most likely out of everyone to get it, which infuriated me because I was second-to-last and still couldn't figure it out. But once I got it, I felt so dumb because I have one on my desk, and Kaitlyn was right--I was the most likely out of all of us to get it because I hole punch music all the time. The second category was occupations, and I gave Nick "Pope". It was the best one of that round, everyone agreed, and it was so much fun watching him struggle to guess what it was. When he finally got it he was so mad at himself, because I guess he and Megan went to Italy last year and went to one of the Pope's audiences so they've actually somewhat met him. Overall it was a really fun night, and I'm really glad that I met Kaitlyn's friends. We've already planned to go recital dress shopping for Kaitlyn next month and Megan's going to come with us, and she wants to plan girls nights down in our area.
