Sitting at my computer in a local coffee shop with certain friends, there is a certain ambiance surrounding the room. One is gnawing on a coffee stirrer while either looking at pictures of babies, recipes or talking about Stumbling. One is just chilling out, not having to do any work whatsoever, usually deep in thought. Another is sleeping after studying for seemingly eternity before having to wake up for another unheard of hours. Another is reading the bible, looking up in her glasses look every now and then to stare at me and/or laugh at some ridiculously hilarious event and/or flicking me in the ear. The other one is actually being a fairly good student, studying for most of the time, until he either has to stare at me or someone else, bob his head to techno, or just flat-out be weird. And then, there's me. Homework for the night has ceased and the time is now reserved for surfing, Facebooking and listening to practically anything and everything on Facebook.
From here, the indoor part will close at 12, allowing the party to shift outside, where more hanging out and deep conversations will ensue and take place.
And this happens pretty much every night.
It's awesome. What started as a once in a while hangout has turned into a routine thing. Homework gets done, friendships are strengthened and all are even held accountable for all that they have done since the time before. After a long and sometimes stressful day, having a place to relax, veg, and chill is very much needed and appreciated.
I miss that library.
