Uguuuuuuh exhausting day has been exhausting. Documented most of it in twitter which will be posted later. Forgive my incoherency.
Long story short, after like 2 hours of sleep I missed my 9am flight and had to hang around JFK until the next flight to Detroit at 12:25. Which ended up being amazing, because I ended up being on the same goddamn flight as
umister and
s0nified who were on their way to Japan for WCS. WHAT ARE THE GODDAMN ODDS?! So that was pretty awesome.
Saw them off to their connection to Japan in Detroit. Fuck yeah, last American cosplayer to wish them luck in person! Thennn sat around several hours until my connection to Louisville, on which I sat near a mom who had flown all the way to China and back to adopt an adorable little China babby. They were both so exhausted. ; ~;
When we got off the plane, her husband and two other adopted daughters and I swear like a dozen other people with Welcome Home signs and balloons were there waiting for them and jesus christ my heart shattered into a million tiny pieces. ;;; A;;;
Aaand then
blazeblast came and picked me up! It's kind of surreal to finally be somewhere visiting someone you've been meaning to visit for like.. six years. To finally meet her dogs Sunny and Apollo after years of wanting to has been awesome. Sunny reminds me so much of Cody, it's amazing. They would have gotten along so well. Her house is full of three dogs and six cats and they're all friendly and sweet and amazing and ahhhh I love being around animals. ♥
Aaanyway. In other news, Mom updated me on the crash stuff from last night. The third boy, who'd been driving and was the one injured, is actually my neighbor (who I've never really known at all.) His parents are divorced, which must've been why they wouldn't let his dad into the ambulance. In any case, he's in critical condition. Alex and Mark who walked away from the crash? Had their seatbelts on. Mike? Was driving, and didn't. If this isn't the most classic case of "DO WEAR YOUR SEATBELT, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE" I don't know what it is. I can't put the whole thing out of my mind, I'm still shaken. I'm really hoping the kid gets through this.
And what is quite upsetting is just how much everything that happened last night is still affecting me. We went and saw The Dark Knight tonight and I am so upset because I really didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. Basically, adrenaline and I are not friends right now. Typical movie adrenaline just brought back feelings from last night and was just uncomfortable, not to mention car crashes and explosions are not really what I was in the mood for. Not knowing whether or not characters were going to live or die was not enjoyable because I'm still worrying so much about this kid. Basically, really bad timing on my part.. but I had no idea it would mess with me that much. Everything last night really fucked with me.
I am seriously the only goddamn pussy in the world who didn't enjoy TDK. And it's not that I didn't like it! I'm sure I would have loved it if I hadn't had a stomach ache the whole time! I just wish I could have enjoyed it more.
And then we went to Waffle House at 2 in the morning and I made their friend Lily spit milk everywhere.
This entry is really disjointed and poorly assembled because I am still going on a little more than two hours of sleep, which is really impressive! Anyway sorry for a big retard post but I wanted to expand on some stuff and kslfjsk shutting up now
Tomorrow, Blaze + Jenny + Lily (and Scout and Apollo the pups!) + I drive out to the Smoky Mountains. Blaze insists there'll be internet, so here's hoping. For now, I'm going to go snuggle every animal that I can.
