Over Thanksgiving break I went to Michigan and I finally got to hang out with
Lastiheard and
downwind. It was weird being good friends for years but never actually talking in person. It was important to me because not only were we friends but through talking to them I've realized so many important things about myself and my life, and the way I look at things. For that I am forever grateful because there have been few people who have been able to talk like we have and on the subjects we do. Thank you for 'getting' it!!
:]
I left my apartment frantically on the night of the 23rd, trying to find a ride to Lancaster train station. I was about down to the half hour when I decided nobody was coming home, and I had to seek help on the OUTSIDE. o I booked it to campus and who do I run into but KAITLYN:
I tell her OMGINEEDTOCATCHATRAINITLEAVESLIKENOWIGOTTAGOHOLYCRAP. And so she decides to take me. I don't give her time to work anything out because I just stuff her in my car and drive all nuts. Haha. I hadn't actually thought about the fact that we were taking my car there and how would she get home and what would happen to my car? I just gave her my keys when we got there and was like 'I DONT CARE WHERE YOU TAKE IT RIGHT NOW GOOD LUUUCKK BE SAFE!!' and ran away. lol. It all worked out in the end so it's ok!
I got the train JUST as it was pulling up. I would have missed it if I'd been 2 minutes later. NOT JOKING.
I trained to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.
It's kinda really tall. I really like looking around when I go in there. This lady gave me a hard time when I asked for a free cup of water at McDonalds and took about a minute extra to complain about how she wasn't paid to give out free cups of water. I explained that I would have gone to the water fountain but it had jail bars in front of it. Oh, Philadelphia...
There was this random cute person asleep on a bench so I took a picture of them like a total creep.
I wandered around more, waiting for the connecting SEPTA train to the airport. There's this big giant marble room with nothing in it but this clock and a sealed door. It makes me feel like I'm in a video game and I have to find the way to open up the secret passage.
I caught the SEPTA. Here is how I feel about SEPTA.
So then I was at PHL until 6AM, what was I going to do for like 6 hours?? I figured I'd find somewhere to try and sleep. The asians took the good seats.
Tried valiantly for a while to level up Ponyta because PONYTA FUCKING SUCKS
I found these big loopy things and decided to set up camp in one. There was a hippie already in it but eh... I ended up not sleeping very well because it was freezing.
Anyway, I caught my plane and made it to Chicago. [NOT PICTURED LOL because I couldn't find the dinosaur bones in the airport so I lost motivation to take any pictures]
THEEEENNN a few hours later I made it to Grand Rapids in Michigan. Then I got scared and tried to hide because I get scared when I meet my friends. Haha. However they totally spotted me at the customer service counter and I felt like and idiot. But it was ok because then we went to go get sandwiches. :]
NOW THE PICTURES GET OUT OF ORDER BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN.
So we went out to eat at another place with awesome sandwiches and I got something with jalapenos that I thought was going to kill me but it totally didn't. Candice had this iphone game where you shoot arrows at each other and try to KILL EACH OTHER with head shots! I was SO HAPPY about this game somehow. Also I don't know how to use phones very well.
Hahahaha
Ok, so like, there were a lot of weird close up pictures of my head when I got home.
I like that there are so many pictures of us playing iphone games. lol
Then I ate everything.
Hey, that is the wrong direction.
So I also met Larry, and we were friends, despite how this picture looks
Cat owl!
We would go over to these weird old people's house to cat-sit. None of us could really figure out what the old people DID because they didn't seem to own anything.
Ok, so there was a lot more stuff that happened too, like I ended up at a casino full of WEIRD LOOKING PEOPLE and played ski ball and went to book stores and ATE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS. We also crafted, but somehow I can't remember the order of anything. Maybe I am getting old, but maybe it was all the wine, too.
In short, it was a really short time that went really fast. SO WE NEED TO HANG OUT AGAIN END OF STORY.
This is what Chicago looked like at night when I was flying back over it.
:]
