recap of my jaunt

Sep 20, 2008 23:28

Day 1

-Lauren and her friend Aaron picked me up at the bus station, after a realtively easy day of travel. I (!!!!!) drove to Augusta, we ate with her boyfriend Scott at Applebee's and then gourged on ice cream at Friendly's. Then I passed out in bed.

Day 2

-I don't really remember much of this day. I listened to the iPod, read the rest of my non partisan politics book, started on The Color Purple, took quite a lot of photos of the surrounding land, watched Tv, and slept late. Kind of like living at home without having a job.

Day 3

-Lauren had school, so I slept late and cooked and cleaned and the like. Then we went to watch her brother's soccer game. I'm not gonna lie, they were pretty horrible. And it was pretty cold and misting rain. I got to hang out with her mom (who I love) and try to learn the rules of soccer. I was unsuccessful. We ate again. I'm sure there was some Scrubs involved.

Day 4

-I did nothing pretty much the whole day. Much like any other Saturday. Except I was in the woods and it wasn't hot.

Day 5

-I got to see Burn After Reading. It was fantastic. Although, the ending was kind of anticlimactic. It was a genius plot, not like the cookie cutter plots nowadays. Brad Pitt FTW. I was supposed to go Apple Picking, but it as raining, so that was canceled. I did the ol' switcheroo and crimsonnocturne picked me up. Her husband made us dinner and waited on us hand and foot. She got me hooked on Burn Notice. I want to FUCK Michael Westen. Everyone needs to watch this show.

CHECK IT.

Day 6

-I saw Star for the first time in two years. She was my second ever girlcrush. Kind of still is. But she has a girlfriend, who she brought along. Talk about awkward. The mini golf place we were going to crash was bulldozed, so we ate and walked around Bates College. If Dawson's Creek and Greek had a baby, that would be Bates College.

Day 7

-I went with crimsonnocturne to a little girl's birthday party. It was the first gay (moms) family I had ever met. They were strange, but it had nothing to do with being gay. Just with being Mainers. I could easily get along with them. they are doing a great job raising their kids, that's for sure. We got fat(ter) at DaVinci's and continued lusting after Mochael Westen. Then she introduced me to Dr. horrible's Sing Along Blog. Oh My Absolute Fucking Gosh. AMAZING. Creation of Joss Whedon (who also created Buffy, which I've never seen). FANTASTICAL!

Watch it. You will thank me for the rest of your days.

Day 8

- I got up at the ass crack of dawn to go to work with Fitzy. She works at a British Import store in the shopping district in Freeport, Maine. So, while she slaved away, I walked and shopped. I visited L.L. Bean, little cafes, a bead store (awesome), some tourist traps, a couple of outlets. Read some of my book by David Sedaris. Who is, btw, a great writer. Funny as shit. I took a giant afternoon nap, and then, the greatest part of my entire trip, we went to Portland to see AMANDA PALMER. FOR FREE! AT A RECORD STORE!!! I'm telling you, life changing. I've loved her for so long and never gotten to see her live until now. Her solo album is absolute genius. BUY IT. LISTEN. her myspace:
