SO I'M TOTALLY POSTING THIS FROM FUCKING GREECE.
WE LEFT ON SATURDAY AT AROUND 4PM EASTERN TIME. THE 747 WE TOOK WAS FUCKING MASSIVE. ON THE FLIGHT, MOST OF US WERE CLUMPED TOGETHER IN ECONOMY CLASS. I HAD AN AISLE SEAT. THE FLIGHT WAS PRETTY GODDAMN SWEET. IT WAS MY FIRST ONE EVER, AND I WAS KIND OF JITTERY AS THE PLANE SHOT ACROSS THE RUNWAY AND WE TOOK OFF. THEN IT TURNED AND OUR WINDOW WAS ON TOP OF THE WING, SO I GOT TO SEE IT DIPPING DOWN AND ALL THAT.
THERE WERE THESE TWO HOT GERMAN STEWARDESSES AND THE BLONDE ONE LIKED ME BECAUSE I HAD BEEN WATCHING CLANNAD AFTER STORY AS SHE WAS GOING AROUND AND SHE STOPPED AND TALKED WITH ME ABOUT ANIME FOR A BIT AND SHE SEEMED TO ACT MORE FRIENDLY THAN THE OTHER STEWARDS AND STEWARDESSES WERE. THE OTHER HOT STEWARDESS WAS A BRUNETTE WITH CURLY HAIR AND SHE WAS WEARING A MINI-SKIRT. FIRST TIME I SAW HER SHE HAD TO GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CART, SO SHE PUT A HAND ON MY SEAT AND THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND LEEEEEEEANED FORWARD. THE BLODNDE STEWARDESS, WHO WAS PUSHING THE CART AROUND, SLAPPED HER ON THE ASS TWICE AND THEY BOTH LAUGHED AND I WAS JUST LIKE "OHMYGOD".
IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE COOLEST THING THAT HAPPENED ON THE FLIGHT FROM HERE TO FRANKFURT, GERMANY.
AND YEAH, WATCHING CLANNAD AFTER STORY? TERRIBLE IDEA. I WAS, LIKE, TEARING UP AND CRYING A BIT ON THE PLANE EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES. IT WAS ALSO INCREDIBLY DEPRESSING AND SAD. FOR A LITTLE WHILE IT WAS HAUNTING MY MIND: I COULDN'T THINK SO STRAIGHT AND WHENEVER I SAW OTHER PEOPLE IT JUST MADE ME THINK OF SAD THINGS. ITWASTERRIBLE.
BUT, ANYWAYS, WE LANDED IN FRANKFURT AT LIKE 5AM AND THE LANDING WAS REALLY COOL, TOO, AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A REALLY SMOOTH LANDING. AFTER THAT WE JUST CHILLED AT THE AIRPORT IN FRANKFURT FOR A WHILE. THEY HAD THOSE WALKWAYS WITH MOVING FLOORS, IT WAS SO SWEET. I STOOD COMPLETELY SOLEMN ON ONE OF THEM AND JUST POINTED FORWARD. TWO OF MY FRIENDS TOOK PICTURES OF ME AND SOME RANDOM PEOPLE WALKING BY WERE LAUGHING. MOVING FLOORS ARE SO COOL THEY SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE.
WE ALSO DISCOVERED WHAT KIND OF THINGS THEY HAVE IN GERMAN AIRPORT STORES.
-CANDY
-ALCOHOL
-ALCOHOL INSIDE OF CANDY
-PLAYBOY MAGAZINES
WE MANAGED TO FIND SOME WATER SOMEHOW, AND MY FRIEND BOUGHT THIS MASSIVE BAG OF M&MS (WHICH HE JUST GAVE TO ME IDK IT'S SITTING ON A TABLE IN MY ROOM RIGHT NOW) AND A KIT-KAT BAR.
WE JUST CHILLED AND TALKED FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. AT ONE POINT WE STARTED TAKING PICTURES OF ONE ANOTHER TAKING PICTURES OF ONE ANOTHER. SOMEONE SAW TWO HOT GIRLS PEEK AROUND THE CORNER AT US AND THEN GO, AND HE THREW OUT THE OFFER THAT IF ANY OF US GOT SEATED NEAR THEM HE WOULD PAY THAT PERSON 50 EUROS TO SWITCH SEATS. I SAW MY FRIEND'S REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR AND AT FIRST I WENT "WHO IS THAT GIRL?" BEFORE I REALIZED IT WAS HIM. IT ACTUALLY DIDN'T FEEL SO LONG WITH EVERYONE AROUND TO PASS THE TIME, AND IT ONLY GOT REALLY SLOW AT THE END.
WE WERE REALLY DISPERSED ON THIS PLANE. I THINK THE CLOSEST ANY OF US WERE TO EACH OTHER WAS LIKE THREE AISLES (HORIZONTALLY) AWAY. I THINK. I MIGHT BE WRONG. TWO OF US MAY HAVE BEEN SEATED NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
SO I'VE GOT ANOTHER AISLE SEAT AND I'M CHILLING THERE WAITING WITH MY BACKPACK ON THE OTHER SEAT, HOPING THAT NO ONE COMES BY AND I GET IT FOR MYSELF. I WAS WRONG, BUT I WASN'T SO DEPRESSED ABOUT IT. THIS GERMAN WATER POLO TEAM OF GIRLS SWARMS THE PLANE AND PRETTY MUCH OCCUPIES THE ENTIRE BACK OF THE PLANE. I WAS RIGHT ABOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THEM. THERE WAS THIS CREEPY GERMAN DUDE ACROSS THE AISLE AND HE KEPT LIKE TRYING TO GET IT ON WITH THE GIRLS. AND HE KEPT REACHING BACK AND GRABBING THE LEGS OF THE GIRL BEHIND HIM. HER NAME WAS ESHLEY. LIKE ASHLEY BUT WITH AN E. SHE WAS CUTE. ONE OF THE CUTE GERMAN GIRLS ALSO SAT BESIDE ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MYSELF AND ANOTHER ONE OF THE GIRLS.
THE FLIGHT WAS SWEET. AT FIRST I FELL ASLEEP ON THE GIRL BESIDE ME AND SHE WAS PRETTY CHILL ABOUT IT. AND COMFY. SHE ONLY WOKE ME UP BECAUSE SHE HAD TO GET UP, AND THE FOOD WAS COMING AROUND ANYWAY. WE GOT SOME BREAD, TWO SLICES OF MEAT, SOME BUTTER, JAM, AND CHEESE. THAT WEIRD GERMAN DUDE KEPT TRYING TO GET ME TO GIVE THE GIRL NEXT TO ME A PIECE OF BUTTER.
AFTER WE FINISHED EATING AND THEY TOOK THE TRAYS AWAY I WHIPPED OUT MY PSP AND STARTED WATCHING MORE CLANNAD AFTER STORY AND SOME OF THE GIRLS WERE LIKE. CROWDING AROUND AND WATCHING.
THAT CUTE GIRL NEXT TO ME ALSO HAD LIKE THREE SHIRTS ON. SHE STOOD UP AND STARTED TAKING OFF TWO OF THEM. I'M PRETTY SURE SHE WAS WEARING A THONG. I WAS STARING, AND WHEN SHE NOTICED, I JUST THREW UP A TRADEMARK YUKI-ANTICS-SMILE AND SHE JUST LAUGHED.
ANYWAY I FINISHED CLANNAD AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND WHEN I CAME BACK THEY LIKE ALL HAD DSES, SO I WHIPPED OUT MY PINK DS AND WE STARTED PLAYING MARIO KART AND MARIO PARTY. A BUNCH OF THEM ONE-ON-ONE RACED ME IN MARIO KART. I TOTALLY ROLLED OVER ALL OF THEM EXCEPT FOR ESHLEY WHO BEAT ME BY A TOTAL FLUKE. ANYWAY, THE PLANE WAS STARTING TO LAND SO WE COULDN'T PLAY ANYMORE. AFTER WE HAD LANDED, WE GOT OUT OF THE PLANE AND THE GIRLS STARTED TO GATHER OUTSIDE OF THAT TUBE THINGY THAT LEADS FROM THE PLANE TO THE BUILDING. I WENT DOWN TO THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE ESCALATORS WAY DOWN THE HALL WHERE EVERYONE WAS ALREADY WAITING FOR ME. WE WERE CHILLING THERE FOR AWHILE, WAITING FOR MR. EMIL PENARUBIA, ONE OF THE TEACHERS ACCOMPANYING US, WHEN THE WATER POLO TEAM GOES BY AND A TON OF THEM WAVE TO ME. OF COURSE, MY FRIENDS COMMENT ABOUT IT AND CLAIM THAT I AM A TOTAL PIMP.
WELL ONCE WE HAD GATHERED AND WHAT SUCH WE HEADED DOWN THE ESCALATOR TO THE BAG PICK UP AREA AND THE WATER POLO TEAM WAS OCCUPYING SOME MASSIVE SPACE. THEY WAVED AGAIN. ALSO, CRUSHED BY THE PEER PRESSURE OF MY COMPANIONS AND THE TWO TEACHERS I WENT OVER AND GAVE ESHLEY MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND NAME AND STATED THAT I WANTED A REMATCH. ALTHOUGH, SHE LIKE HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS SAYING BECAUSE SHE'S GERMAN AND ONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS TOLD ME THAT SHE DOESN'T USE THE COMPUTER OR ANYTHING SO I'M LIKE "OKAY" AND THEN THEY JUST TOOK MY EMAIL ADDRESS. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THEY CALLED ME OVER AND THIS GUY THERE ON THE TEAM TOOK A PICTURE OF US. THEN ONE OF MY FRIENDS TOOK A PICTURE OF US. AND THUS ENDS THE GERMAN WATER POLO TEAM OF GIRLS STORY.
holy crap there is still so many more metric fucktons to go
OKAY SO AFTER THAT WE GOT ONTO THIS BUS THAT WAS SENT BY AMPHITRION HOLIDAYS, AND IT TOOK US TO THE HOTEL. THERE WAS A TOURGUIDE THERE THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT SHIT BUT I TOTALLY PASSED OUT. I WOKE UP ONCE WE GOT TO THE HOTEL AND WE SIGNED IN AND ALL THAT AND MY ROOM IS FUCKING SMALL. I'M ROOMING WITH MY FRIEND ALLEN MACLEOD (PRONOUNCED MACK-LAY-ODD EXCEPT NOT REALLY). WE CHILLED FOR A BIT, GOT SETTLED IN KINDA, WENT AROUND TO THE OTHER ROOMS. WE WENT UP THE ROOFTOP GARDEN AND IT IS SO GO GODDAMN AMAZING. WE CAN SEE THE PARTHENON AND ALL OF THESE AMAZING HILLS AND THE CITY AND JUST. DAMN. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
WE MET UP AROUND 3:45 DOWN IN THE LOBBY AND STARTED WALKING AROUND ATHENS. THERE IS GRAFFITI. EVERYWHERE.
SO WE WERE WALKING DOWN THIS PATH, RITE, AND THESE DOGS ARE KIND OF NEAR US AND WE DON'T REALLY NOTICE IT AT FIRST BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY FOLLOWING AND GUARDING US. WE WERE WALKING AND THIS DUDE WAS LIKE TWENTY FEET AWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY START BARKING AND ATTACK THE DUDE. THEY TORE APART HIS COAT AND HIS JEANS IT WAS SO SWEET.
SO THESE DOGS ARE JUST FOLLOWING US NOW, CHILLIN WITH THE GROUP AND WHAT SUCH. BARKING AT PEOPLE PASSING BY. WE HAPPENED UPON A FEW RESTAURANTS BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL ABOUT THE THIRD ONE THAT WE FINALLY STOPPED TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. AND AS WE WERE EATING, RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW ONE OF THE DOGS WAS JUST CHILLING THERE WAITING FOR US. I GOT A BURGER WITH FRIED POTATOES. IT WAS DELICIOUS.
WE WENT OUTSIDE AND THE DOGS JOINED UP WITH US AGAIN. OH, AND THIS BLACK DUDE TRIED TO SELL US BOOTLEG DVDS. SO ANYWAY, WE WENT UP THE ACROPOLIS, BUT IT WAS KIND OF LATE, SO SOME PLACES WERE CLOSED OFF. WE GOT SOME SWEET PICTURES, THERE WERE GREAT VIEWS AND EVERYTHING. TWO DOGS WERE ALSO FIGHTING. THE DOGS WERE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ALL OF THIS.
THE DOGS JUST KEPT FOLLOWING US AND BARKING AT PEOPLE AND ATTACKING SOME PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH, THE PEOPLE WERE PRETTY MUCH FINE. WE WENT TO THE PNYX, TOO, WHICH IS WHERE THE PEOPLE OF ATHENS WOULD GATHER TO VOTE AND WHAT SUCH. THE DOGS JUST CHILLED ON THE PODIUM WHILE WE TOOK PICTURES AND STUFF.
THERE WAS LOTS OF PICTURE TAKING AND JUST GENERAL CHILLING BEFORE WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO HEAD BACK. WE WERE WALKING ALONG AND THE DOGS STARTED GETTING A LOT ANGRIER. THEY BARKED AT LIKE. EVERYONE THAT PASSED BY US. THEY BARKED AT CARS, CHASED SOME CARS, CHASED SOME DOGS, RAN OFF, BUT THEY ALWAYS MANAGED TO FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO US. IT WAS PRETTY COOL. HOWEVER, THEY RAN AHEAD TO BARK AT THESE OTHER DOGS BEHIND A FENCE AND WHEN THEY DID WE BROKE RIGHT AND GUNNED IT BACK TO THE HOTEL. I BOUGHT MYSELF 24 HOURS OF INTERNET, AND HERE I AM.
I BET THOSE DOGS ARE GONNA BE THERE TOMORROW MORNING WAITING FOR US.
