so basically this was the weirdest weekend ever.
i had alot of fun in ny, but both times at the airport were completely horrible.
ok so i drive to charlotte
it is hot as crap
and it was pretty uneventful minus me thinking i might run out of gas on the highway before i got to a gas station, but i didnt.
i get to the charlotte airport and cant find a parking spot to save my life
both of the long term parking lots were full so i pretty much rode around in circles for 30 min till i said fuck it, literally, and parked on the 5th floor of the parking garage in the daily parking. i was pretty flustered by then and it was hot so i just went to the elevator and went inside.
after a few gate changes and laughs later, i end up on the plane in a window seat, thank god, next to a girl whos about my age.
i totally laughed at the safety video and looked crazy and attempted to look like i wanted to be included in the girl's, and the old dude beside her, conversation. i failed that task and ended up putting on my ipod and playing the cranium trivia game they play on the screens with myself and napped a little.
i get to laguardia and my parents get a car to pick me up and after 30 min i get to the hotel. it was pretty sweet and i went up to my room and changed and saw the parents money. then michelle came to get me and we went to sbarro and the pizza was pretty much amazing and then we went to see Spring Awakening. it was my first real musical thing, other than like the nutcracker and movie musicals, and it was seriously so so good. i really really enjoyed it. afterward michelle and i stood outside and she got her program signed. i felt kind of awkward cause its not like it is at a show, but it was cool. i liked watching everybody interact with the actors and they were really cool. michelle and one of the dudes totally 2004'd back and forth and it was hilarious. then i went back to the hotel and slept.
saturday the parents money and i walked to central park and then took a taxi to grand central where we met margot, vicki, ashley and vicki's cousins. i honestly cant remember much of what we did that day. i just know i had fun. we met up with simone at some point and me and her and margot went to st. marks so she could get her septum pierced. we went and sat on the rocks in central park. we watched some crazy dancing people in union. walked alot. everybody had to go home so margot and i went to get food at this amazing asian place. then we walked around and went to urban outfitters at like 10pm. it was pretty amazing and we walked some more. then i got back to the hotel and slept.
this morning kind of sucked. woke up too early, then napped till 11:30. packed and got ready.
at the airport and my name wasnt showing up on the check in machine thing.
it turns out that since i didnt take the first part of the flight, my ticket was cancelled.
soooo this lady told us that she "overbooked" the flight and that hopefully it would work out and i would get a seat.
i was pretty pissed in general too cause i was tired
but it all worked out and everybody got a seat.
dad money took mine cause it was in the emergency aisle and i sat beside mom money.
a definite perk about the flight was that there was one totallllyyy delish dude that was about my age on the flight with his parents, it was pretty cute and then there was a pretty attractive man sitting next to me. yes he was a man because he had like beer on the flight, but whatev, he was still pretty delish and he was nice. hmph
we had to wait like 30 min for all the luggage to get through then dad money and i were going to go fetch the convertable and mom money was going to get her car and we were going to meet in the middle and dad money was going to ride with mom money.
so we get to the convertable and it wont crank up.
AMAZING of course.
i had left the lights on from the parking garage.
so we found somebody to jump start it and it was fine.
then i realized i had lost the ticket thing and had to fill out all this crap, but the lady who helped me was SUPER nice.
so i blame my blind rage at the lack of parking and the heat and my rush to get inside on my leaving the lights on and losing the ticket, but who cares.
that is all
now im home.
we have a 5 pound hershey bar and about a million hershey kisses here and a have a few new shirts.
hooray.
this weekend was pretty good.
there were good things and there were bad things.
tomorrow is my only free day for the most part because i have drum camp on tuesday-friday, but its only till 2:30.
i think im going to spend my night watching boondock saints. :]
