i love you mark bellHORN!
my life story got a little bit better after yesterday. i was up at like 4:30! michele, megan, karen, joanna and i all got ready and drove, in complete darkness, to riverside. surprisingly there were cars already lining up to get into the parking lot. it wasn't so bad though and we got on the second train arriving in boston around 6ish. we met michele's friend drew and wandered around for a while finding a spot in front of lord and taylor near the prude. drew was pretty cool aside from threatening to toss me over the barricade and steal my spot. we waited almost 5 hours in the cold and rain: playing the four person game, painting each other's faces, eating dunkin doughnuts, chain smoking, complaining about stupid parents who use their small children as an excuse to try and push us out of the way and fighting extreme boredom. finally we heard the screaming down the road and i got really nervous for NO reason. then the duck boats were coming! i screamed so much and just kept snapping pictures like an idiot. i was on the wrong side to see bellhorn which really pisses me off but i did get to see pokey, ortiz (who was being hilarious and was only like 5 feet away from me!), schilling (complete with crutches!), v-tek (who was lounging comfortably on the hood of a purple duck boat!), mike myers, timlin, the back of gabe's head, jonny damon (yeah boyfriend!), francona (to whom i screamed you are the man!), and various others that i can't quite remember right now. the whole thing ended with wally. personally i'd go all x-mas parade and save the best for last. like the trophy and pedro or manny or ortiz. my only complaint really. otherwise best 15 minutes of my life! thank god i blew off work. afterward, we said go bye to drew, karen and joanna left in joanna's parent's car and me michele and megan had a pretty painless ride home. we drove megan to jay's house in walpole. his sister had the cutest tiny dog named tootsie. so sweet i loved her. i was thinking of stealing her but that wouldn't be nice. after hanging out for a bit, me and michele headed home. we were starving and exhausted. we drove by this little street corner with tons of red sox signs everywhere. it was cool, so we beeped then michele wanted to go back to take a picture. this nice older couple told us that it was a private road that lead to curt schilling's house! we got so excited! we can stalk curt schilling! the older lady took michele's e-mail address so she can tell us when the town will be putting on a parade for him! after we left we say llamas! wtf? then we got food at taco bell, mmmm, and the guy effed up and we got free food! later i smoked with michele for the first time in forever and watched my favorite stupid scary movie, return of the living dead III! finally, i fell asleep and got an extra hour, thank you day light savings! what a crazy day!
