For A Lonely Soul You're Having Such A Nice Time!
So my Saturday started with staying in bed longer than usual, b/c... I felt I needed the rest and I thought they'd be coming so I'd just use them as an alarm. Anyway, they didn't come, but I needed to go to the post office so I got up.
So... With them not coming, I ended up doing my tapes and little things here and there.
Jhumna had text messaged me... Or I her and I asked her of Bday plans. I got vague ideas. Going to a lounge, etc. Don't hear anything more. I ask 7500centfish... Should I ask her what the plans are or wait for Jhumna to tell me? 7500centfish basically says if you expect them to do things with you, you have to do things with them. My response was... B/c... It was gonna be a late night thing and... I love being around drunk people and all... We're family, it shouldn't have to be like that. sparkyboy never invites me to anything! Anyway, I tell Mom of this and she doesn't seem keen on the idea either. Why can't she just have a BBQ? Anyway... I felt obliged in a sense and... Bored... I thought it could be fun. But then the evil thoughts came... I'm getting back into my Bway kick and... I realized Bway on Bway was the next day. I then started having doubts... I'll be burdening people. Forcing people to go... Forget about it. Forget about going out that night. Be miserable. But then... I texted sparkyboy anyway. He said he'd go. Yeah! So... I text Jhumna saying I'm going to Queens. I pretty much decided or it was decided for me... I'd have to drive myself and sleep over. Got to Queens. I didn't see anyone, but Roscel who was asleep. In my texting with sparkyboy, he didn't know about and wasn't up for it. Anyway, eventually the girls are ready. I'm ready... But then they're all dressed up... I'm in jeans and in a nice tshirt by my standards... They tell me, no jeans, no sneakers. I was wearing "slippers". IMO, they were sandals. Anyway, they give me a pair of pants and... Ew... Seriously, the whole having to change thing totally turned me off, I was like never again. Tell me before all this, etc, etc. Seriously! That's why I hate last minute things! Then I had to wear like those ballet slippers shoes. I was uncomfortable and wanted to be in my clothes. I'm sorry... So I was dilly dallying and I just was no longer up for it. They then said I could wear jeans. So I wore jeans. If they wouldn't let me in, well then... It's not my fault. Anyway, we eventually get there and... Even more pissed I'm seeing people in jeans, shorts, flip flops, sneakers! My answer to... Can I wear my gold converse... Girl! Seriously! I then sat / stood there the whole time being uncomfortable. Eventually felt OK, when I got to sit down and started listening to Keane... And singing along with it. sparkyboy kept giving me weird looks when the music would die down cause only then could you hear me screaming. HAHAHA!!! Either way, I'm sitting watching purses, so I don't know why people keep asking me to dance / drink. I also felt sparkyboy was Baby sitting me. At one point he went to the buttroom and I was left by my lonesome. I also don't like having to pay 4 bucks for an 8oz soda, nor did I want someone paying for me, so I refused any drinks.
Anyway, Jhumna says she'll pay me back by accompanying me to Mt. Desolation.
Had white castle. Went to sleep.
I slept on Tita E's couch... With Bro Ted. HAHAHA!!! Woke up in the AM, showed, went to church.
After breakfast and some video playing by sparkyboy... We headed out to see Broadway on Broadway! Well... After Tito Abe gave me a lesson in parallel parking. I should not be driving!!! Anyway, he drove us to the train station and we were off. We ended up weeding through the crowd and ended up going further back b/c we were on a hill of sorts and could actually see better b/c the crowd was thin and therefore didn't have to tippy toe to see over people's heads. In all honestly I didn't come out wanting to see any shows via the performances. I do want to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert, but the song they did was slow and boring. (Say A Little Prayer!?!) Over all the view wasn't bad. They had the jumbotron and I could see the stage... But I end up watching through my camera anyway. Even that isn't bad. Not sure of the sound...
Afterward they said they had free stuff down by 47th. You basically had to wait on line / sign for crap. Nothing I wanted, so... But there was a guy handing out La Cage fliers... He was cute... Totes gay, but cute, so I told sparkyboy to take a pic of me with him. After the pic with me he was rubbing sparkyboy's chest complementing him on his ensemble. HAHAH!!! He gave us 2 fliers b/c he was like... I don't know your relationship. sparkyboy then called me his hag. Aw... :: warm fuzzies :: I said I was his cousin. He said it was great we were family as well. He said he missed his Melissa. Aw... sparkyboy then confessed I'm the bigger bway fan. He's like girl! Get him to see more shows or something. LOL!!! Anyway, yeah, if sparkyboy ever shells out for the tickets, we're seeing La Cage and Priscilla. They're gonna freak they're all drag queens! HAHAHA!!!
Oh yeah... A majority of my tweets were me geeking out over the Yamaha motif and CP300. Fake Paul McCartney was playing a motif! HAHAHA!!!
Went back to Queens. Had a burger, went home.
Twas fun. Is tried.
Oxford. Day 2ish.
Ate breakfast in the hotel. I had the eggs Benedict. We then went punting. It opened at 9:30, but b/c of the rain I guess they took a little more time to set up. Anyway, they had 3 types of boats. Pedalo (says 7500centfish), rowboats and punts. We decided on the more difficult punts. They guy then gave us a lesson. You had to keep the pole mostly straight, drop it into the water, keeping it against the boat and push off to go straight. You can then use the pole as a rudder. The initial way out was curved, so it was hard... Then it straighten up and we were going downstream. It was basically going around the sports fields and on the way back it was upstream... So... I had to push and steer. That got hard. Surprised I'm not totally in pain right now. Let's see how I am in the morning. Plus there were a few moments I thought I would fall in... Pole getting stuck, me almost going with it. Then I had to duck with trees, 7500centfish had to rescue me from them a few times.
Ugh... This entry makes me which I had written after everyday... So much more detail.
After that we made our way to Hertford College. Saw it was closed except to prospective students. :( I said... But I need to see Charles Ryder! Old dude by door smiled. :) 7500centfish took a pic of me.
We then went up the Sheldonian Theatre where you could see a panorama of Oxford.
Then we went to... The Pitt Rivers Museum. It's an archeology museum and had things in cases all over the place. 7500centfish was explaining to me that's the way they did it in the past, plus they group things by function not region. I so wanted to see the instrument section, ships and surgery section.
We then headed to St. Aloysius Church. Ok... I couldn't remember any specific church that Sebastian Flyte attended, but the fact he named his bear Aloysius, it had to have some significance... Either that I find the Newman society. Anyway... There came a point when he stopped going to church so... but, it had a really pretty... "Backsplash" to the Altar, so... Took some pics. Some dude was waxing the floor.
Next off to... Christ Church, Sebastian's school. Weren't allowed in the actual court yard, but could see it in a marked trail. We went to the dining hall... Where 7500centfish geeked out with the Harry Potter stuff. Uh... We saw the chapel and I commented Sebastian Flyte wouldn't have been here, so what's the point? Lol. So that's... The 2nd Anglican church I've been in. As usual we go to the gift shop. Upon exiting I literally had a Brideshead flashback! I think it was the scene where he tells Ryder that Monsignor Bell wants him to live with him and go to church or something... But seriously it was weird.
Afterward we went to the Ashmolean, another art / archeology museum.
Pretty much after that we picked up a pasty, did a little shopping and back to the hotel to rest for the remainder of the day.
As I told 7500centfish... I get it's a college town and... It's therefore busy and commercial... It's not what we expected. Not as romantic I guess. But... I still geeked out, we got to see what we wanted to se... Well besides that Dodo bird. Lol.
It was supposed to rain again that day, but at most it was a drizzle. Not as cold either. Was a good day in English weather in my opinion.
So... With them not coming, I ended up doing my tapes and little things here and there.
Jhumna had text messaged me... Or I her and I asked her of Bday plans. I got vague ideas. Going to a lounge, etc. Don't hear anything more. I ask 7500centfish...
