oh my oh my this weekend was soo wonderful!
right after school kahdeja and i caught a cab with her mom and rode to BYC...we hung out until the bus got there and then we all left!
the trip was fun, there was no traffic and we took I95 all the way up. i love traffic-free bus rides.
and oh my, the westin was so fucking nice. and oh the bed..it was so comfortable.
so we woke up friday and it took us an hour to get to the dennys in arlington for breakfast...and we ended up singing on the sunny side of the street in three parts because they made us do it.
then the presentation which was so disappointing...everybody looked so bored. i could've just walked out of there...it wasn't like last time where we sang heycoka te deum, na ni na, what we are and others...and got those three standing ovations amid 5 songs.
so whatever. we left boston public where we performed and we went to pizzeria uno's. i sat with jessica kimmell, khadeja, lys, jordan, and angelia. i dont think i ever stopped laughing. we talked about brenda and lys' axe body spray story. i may have choked on some food or something.
after that they let us go back the hotel and then let us loose in copley plaza. we didnt even have to go outside.
i looked pretty fucking sexy with my hair swooped low and tied up high in my uber low cut long sleeved blue shirt and my lucky's. the tiff jewlwery certainly helped...and the eyeliner.
oh baby!
it was nice just to caruse the mall...coach, tiffanys, j.crew, breps, aveda, thomas pink, louis vuitton...
but i got bored and ended up with ekela, anneka, sasha, bianca, and charnequa. i didnt feel like being a jap and spending money. maybe if i had $300 i would have bought a pair of sevens but i dont have that kind of money to throw around on any other day. maybe if it was christmas or birthday money [woohoo i'll be seventeen soon let us all not forget that].
we went back to their hotel suite and they put on this reggae mix and danced, ha! it was so much fun. it was like softcore porn because they just took off their shirts and did whatever.
we ended up later going to the america ballroom and having our talentshow which was funny but not half as funny as it was 2 years ago at ACDAPittsburgh...there was no tinkering with glases, or flute playing, story reading, or piano playing
most people just sang songs, lys did a monologue ["STELLA!" oh that girl never was the same after she got lost in that cornfield...], isaac read a poem, and then my black ladies eekela, anneka, bianca, lys, and sasha all got up and danced that was almost too much. i dont think i stopped laughing then, either.
saturday we woke up and had breakfast at the hotel--it was so good...i had my mini belgian waffles and hashbrowns and the best strawberries i have ever tasted.
ever.
i got my luggage and waited on the street level for my wife and jlow to show up...i should've waited in the lobby instead. i left my luggage at the hotel desk and we went onto the T green line and went in the wrong direction. she almost killed JLow because we didnt stop at the dunkin donuts [gross. where are my krispy kremes? thats right.]
the T is so fucking wierd! first off, they're wicked ugly trains. second, the green line runs on the street! just like, in the middle of the cars, its totally unnerving. i dont like my tracks on street level...even in the station underground--i could've just walked onto the tracks, there wasn't a platform...no tracks below...oh i was so freaked out.
but my my what a bad place to have sexual urges...the T...sigh.
we eventually found ourselves in harvard sq. and i bought a harvard sweatshirt while we chilled in the harvard barnes and nobles...then sarah bought us scratch tickets and still didnt get carded and i won her four bucks.
then harvard yard. eh, i'm sure its prettier in the spring.
we got bored and went to Jlow's house, and watched annie hall...
then we went for a walk and things got fucked up but we don't talk about it.
i miss them.
it was hard to leave them as i rode on the T [byyy myself and didnt get lost thats right folks am i good or what? yep i think so! great.]
i didnt cry though, but i felt lonely while i waited for my mom at the hotel. the party sort of felt over.
but it wasn't, we stayed at faith and rob's...we had heart shaped brownies and strawberry ice cream, and faith made us laugh so much.
the house was SOOO cold and i was an idiot for wearing boxers to bed but i stayed roasty toasty in the blankets provided. comfy bed too...even though it was a twin it looked perfect for sarah and i.
driving on sunday was also nice. mass pike was SO FAST.
but when we got to the end of mass pike i didnt wanna leave massachusetts. especially when we hit exit 4, to get on I91...and i was like NO STOP! GET OFF AT EXIT FOUR! NORTH ON I91 FORWARD, HO!
but we didnt get off at exit 4 for I91.
and i was only 40 minutes away from my girlfriend. so close. sooo close.
when we got to the holiday inn last night in schenectady i felt really lonely...it was okay though because mom and i went for a nice dinner and then came back to the hotel and watched a funny sitcom on fox, then emril lagasse, and then sex and the city.
Union today...the school was nice, i liked the new dorms and the food was pretty good--but the people there seemed really jappy, which is sort of what i'm trying to avoid. yeah, i dress a little like a jap sometimes but i'm not a fan of gossip and i really heard them talkign about people in a bad way.
it was like an extension of high school.
so we drove home on I87. i dont like New York State. its ugly. once we left massachusetts and entered new york i felt a stark difference...almost as if the ground and snow and trees were calling "WE'RE UGLY! PATAKI IS OUR GOVERNOR! TURN BACK! TURNNNNN BAAAAAACKKKK!!!!"
i need to live in massachusetts...its the only place i feel comfortable besides brooklyn. really. and i do tend to feel isolated out here.
oh i miss my wife, its such agony. and now she's in orlando with probably no way to contact me. no voice of hers for a WEEK.
what HELL.
and the homework i have ahead...
at least i've got a starbucks card. mmm.
