(no subject)
So the trip is going really quite well if I do say so for myself, which, obviously, I am. The money issue wasn't one until yesterday when I realized that I only have $900 left and a few more cities to go (New York and D.C.) plus the trip BACK. I think we'll be pulling some late nights driving back to make it across this fair country of ours faster.
In brief (so far):
-The Grand Canyon looks fake and thus we only spent 20 minutes. Their hotel rooms don't have phones.
-New Mexico smells like cowshit the entire way through. Why there aren't any abbreviations for Albaquerque, we aren't sure, although we made quite a few ourselves.
-Colorado and the Rockies are fucking beautiful, although no one knows how to use the zoom feature on a camera to save their lives. Also, 3 point turns are next to impossible at the Howard Johnson in Colorado Springs: be advised.
-Western Kansas doesn't use the word "bag" and instead use "sack"; I had forgotten this and almost lost my life after choking on my Bubbilicious. They also don't say "thank you". I suppose they couldn't bother to say it, they must get back to thumping their bibles.
-Nowhere east of the Mississippi believes in toilet seat covers. However they do have White Castle and a horrific amount of XXX "superstores" by the side of the freeway.
-Chicago is ridiculously clean and really fucking pretty. The people were nice and I was really impressed. It was kind of intimidating and I don't think Amanda knew what to do with ourselves for most of the time there. Went to a gay bar named Hydrate (previously, The Manhole) and saw a drag queen named Teri Yaki. Met a weird stoner guy from LBC and a 30 year old Asian guy with a fixation on Clay Aiken. More stories to tell from that little adventure at some later point.
-Whoever thought it was a good idea for Indiana to join the Union was a fool, they have nothing.
-Detroit was scary as fuck to drive through and I never intend on doing that again, not while I still treasure my balls.
-Canada has evil borders but their people working them are really hot chicks. Apparently they didn't understand the concept of a road trip. Gas prices are weird and the money makes no sense. Toronto wasn't that great, they have no record stores to speak for but the homeless are nice.
-Upstate New York is amazing, although Albany is a piece of crap and I feel bad that my homeslice Hilary resides there. They could also invest in some lodging.
-Boston takes the cake. I will now do everything in my power to get to live here some point soon. Grad School, most def. That is, if I ever graduate.
Speaking of which, grades were hilarious and I somehow got full credit for a film class that I only went to for an hour and then ditched. My GPA falls short of a goddamned 2.9 and I could care less.
Hopefully everyone's doing great and I can't wait to show pictures and shit when I get back home, which shouldn't be too long from now.
