Oklahoma is a Purdie place!

17^th September,

This was a travel day to Oklahoma, it was going to be a 6 hour drive, we weren’t just going to Oklahoma, we were making our way north of Oklahoma city, a place called Stillwater. We drove for about 2 hours before we decided that we were hungry, after all we hadn’t eaten since Walmart the day before. We decided to find an Applebee’s, we had already had plenty of Mexican and burgers, so we wanted to try something else, and seeing as we didn’t know what Applebee’s was we thought that it would be fine. We drove until we could find one, but we simply couldn’t find one, we decided to pull over at a German Deli that was randomly along the side of the motorway. It was good, it had a proper deli and was serving some real German sausages in rolls, some with a slightly American twist for example BBQ flavoured ones and some with jalapeno’s.

There wasn’t much else to say about the trip up, there didn’t seem to be much in the way of sights to see in Oklahoma. We made our way into Stillwater and met up with David Purdie. It was so good to see him! Missed him a lot, we studies abroad together in South Korea last year, then I met him at Christmas when I went back there. It’s weird but it didn’t feel like we had even been apart, although Paolo was a little left out of some of the stories that we were reminiscing about. With David was his friend Chase, we all went for dinner at a soup place, me and Paolo both had tortilla soup. We proceeded back to Purdies place and we chilled out and met up with another friend of David’s friends called Justin. We started pre-drinking under the pretence that we were going to make our way to another house party, but as the night evolved it soon materialised that we were not going to be able to make it to another party. Davids brother Paul turned up with his friend, also called David, and then drinking games ensued! I’m not going to lie, it got messy and eventually we all passed out in random places around the apartment. It was a top night! I haven’t hung out with Purdie since Christmas and I felt at home hanging out with him again, although this time in Oklahoma. Although some time past midnight David did break out the Korean BBQ and we had bulgogi and chicken! Classic!
