So there is possibility I may have a kidney stone.
That's all I have to say about that.
My family came up this weekend and despite my best efforts to get them to hang out in the east bay we spent most of our time in San Francisco. We almost crashed twice because my dad refused to follow the traffic laws. He thinks turning lanes are optional, more like suggestion lanes.
My parents slept on a blow up bed in my room, giving them the chance to get to know Suneal, my MALE roommate.
Prior to my move, my parents fought me tooth and nail about living with Suneal. "You don't know him, maybe he has bad habits (code for drugee), maybe he is touchy feely (code for rapist) maybe he is narrow minded and disagreeable (code for racist against mexicans).
Upon finally meeting Suneal, undoubtedly one the coolest people ever, they wouldn't shut up about how nice he is, how great he is, how lucky I was to get such a amiable, respectful roommate etc.etc. Any and all of their grievances regarding my scandalous male roommate were replaced with variations of, "what a nice young man" and "he seems so sweet".
To top it all off my dad had a talk with me about how Suneal (who he has only known for 22hours) has such direction in his life! It's time for me to settle down and find direction too! can you believe that?!
On Saturday night my mom overheard Suneal playing his guitar in the living room. Knowing that Suneal is part Indian she leaned in and very earnestly asked me, "Is he playing a guitar or a sitar?"

Ok I need to meet your father, as I believe we could bond over Bay Area turning lanes.
My first (and only) traffic ticket ever was in Berkeley, for making a right turn out of the straight lane, because the right lane had no arrow painted on it. That's just poor form (dare I say: a turn trap?).
By the way, I see that puns have come in fashion with you, only months after I said them all the time and you claimed they were uncool. How would you like it if I stopped being hygenic?
joanna: nate is such a stud. if I were your mom, I'd worry too.
ravi: the wordplay is not really an attempt at puns as much as a display of my general cleverness.
