This intoxication thrills me, I only pray it doesn't kill me.
So yeah. I'm home. I'm not happy about it though. I was having a blast whilst visiting Pete, and I wanted to stay a LOT longer. Well, I just didn't want to ever leave. Was discussing that with my mom, rather funny.
Mom: So you would just pack up and leave, you could actually do that?
Me: Yes. In a heart beat. There is absolutly nothing keeping me here besides a very few people, and by few I mean like 2 or 3.
Mom: I better be one of them
Me: Well, okay, maybe 3 or 4.

d00t. Hooray you three! Alright, so let me tell you all of my trip. I don't have pictures yet, so bare with me.
First off, I slept pretty much the entire way there. If I hadn't, I'm sure I would have been even more of a nervous wreck than what I was. Yes, I, Julie, was panicky. When we got to the hotel, my sister, brother-in-law Drew, and my mom took a nap while I got ready to go to Pete's. Then mom got ready and we waltzed out the door and headed over to his house.
We got lost. So I called Pete's cell phone, and he had Dave try to explain to us how to get there, which, sadly, didn't work well. So Dave and Pete went on a scavanger hunt to find us. The first time I saw Pete, he and Dave pulled up next to him and I just started laughing and told him to wave. It was definitly an interesting way to first meet someone.
After that, we headed over to Pete's house. Got out of the van and instantly hugged him. I was like w00t!! So he meets my mom, well, he and Dave do. Then we go in his house and my mother and I meet his mom. Our moms start conversing and I head upstairs to his room with him and Dave. His bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed...EVER. I was laying on it, eating pixie sticks, watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force (ATHF) and talking to him and Dave. It was a lot of fun. Eventually, Pete called Corey, who planned to call us back. So then we played some Soul Calibur2 on Gamecube, and I didn't do so well. I have never touched a gamecube in my life so Im like WTF? I did beat Dave one match though.
Corey called back, and we planned on meeting at his house at 6:30. I think we got there at 7. Met him, Zack, and Ryan. They played thier instruments for a bit because Josh never showed for band practice. Then we headed to Coery's backyard where Corey, Zack, and Ryan proceeded to go swimming while me, Dave, and Corey chilled on this swing thing. Raggs, Corey's dog, was out there too. They had the 3-D doritos in the pool, and they ended up getting quite soggy. Like..dorito applesauce. Raggs stole Pete's waterbottle at some point, and when the dog dropped it, Pete was like, "Corey get the water bottle" and pointed to it, so Raggs picked it up again. Such a smart dog.
We were going to go to the arcade, but instead we all went to Britos. We watched ATHF some more, and played monopoly. Pete was expecting me to get Pwned, but instead I did quite well. I was just lucky as hell. I owned Penn. Ave and Pulled the collect $50 from each player card. There were seven of us. Do the math yourself. Eventually, we all ADD'd from the game, and we put that away. By then, I had to get back to Pete's so my mom could pick me up since she didn't feel like letting me stay the night, even though she had said she would let me. I love how many times she went back on her word..
Anyways, so we got back to Petes and he and I went up to his room to wait. I messed around with his computer and his swords for a bit. Then mom called informing me that she was there, so I left. Mucho saddness.
Talked to Alicia that night online. :) I had such an awesome night, didn't I alicia?
Next morning, I woke up and took a shower. Called Pete around 8:30 to awake him. We left at about 9:30, picked him up, and then headed over to the Amusement Park. Well, first we stopped at Ihop, and I had Drew try the strawberry Syrup. If you don't understand the humor behind this, then you are definitly missing out. Afterwards, we left to the park.
My sister, said the funniest, and the dumbest things on our way down there. She was talking to my mom, because, in Jersey, they don't like left hand turns, so they make u-turns instead. Anyways, she was like "MOM! THERE ARE A BUNCH OF YARDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!" And these yards, were meridians. Pete and I had a nice long laugh about that.
We got there and Pete and I meandered off by ourselves. We rode some rides and walked and talked a lot. It was awesome. He mocked me when I would panic because of the seagulls. THEY WERE DIVEBOMBING PEOPLE!! And then they flocked infront of me, thier beady little eyes looking at me like I was luncheon. I was afraid, oh so very afraid. We rode the Ferris Wheel a lot, and the guy who ran it was irish, so I decided he was awesome. That, and he let us stay up on the very top for like.. 5 minutes. It rocked.
Then we went to Atlantic City. This was the best part of the trip I think. We stayed at the Flagship Hotel, right by the boardwalk. We were in this lovely room on the 19th floor, and it had a WONDERFUL view. It was just, wow. Pete and I pretty much spent the entire night out on the balcony, talking, messing around and looking at the scenery. There was a building that was really trippy, because it constantly changed colors. We watched it for hours, I think we eventually had some of the patterns memorized. The ones involving the color green at least. At one point, we were out there on the balcony, looking out at the lights and the cool building, and we were uberly close...and we were talking about Halo. That was just awesome. I don't care what anyone says.
We stayed up really late on the balcony just talking. Until 4ish. I wasn't very tired, but he was. He wouldn't go to sleep though. He stayed up and talked until my mom commanded us to go to bed. I really didn't want that night to end.
Leaving today pretty much killed me. It took me every single ounce of strength I had to not cry, and I teared up quite a few times on the way home. When he gave me a kiss and a hug goodbye, my mind was instantly thinking about when we were going to hang out again. I'll either end up going there, or he'll come here. I don't know, but something will work.
So now I'm sitting here, thinking about everything that happened, and it makes me sad, but happy at the same time. I wouldn't have changed those two days at all. They were like heaven to me. I love him, really I do. I wish I lived closer, or he lived closer. Just so I could be with him more often. I don't think I have laughed that much, or have been that happy in...quite sometime now. I never stopped smiling. It was like a high just being with him. I want that back.
I should head to bed. In 2 1/2 hours I will be up for 24 hours, and I don't need anymore insomnia kicks. I'll become really mean and cynical towards people, and I can feel me getting that way now just after reading a few journals that were updated whilst I was away. I would hate to snap on some people.
********UPDATE********
I love her a lot. And there is really no other way i can put it. No amount of adverbs or fancy language will ever be able to convey what i feel for her. And being with her...just transcended words. And it was pure ectasy for me. There was never one nanosecond which i didnt enjoy and i wasnt smiling or happy. I am eternally grateful for being able to meet and be with her. Even for those two days. The two days which i hope shall forever stand out in my memory as the happiest days of my life. Great. Now im leaking again. I miss her already.
I read that and cried.
Mucho Love
Julie
