dupont, york, rwanda and hott sex
what have i been doing lately?
I finally got to Dupont to start my research on gay culture and it was not what i was expecting at all, and i was kinda upset actually. Last Friday i drove to Montgomery County to Teresa's (my roomate) house. She drove to D.C. we checked out this bookstore/coffee house, but it was crowded and there was nowhere really to sit, so i gave up on that. we walked down to cosi to find out they were no longer seating, so we went back up to the other cosi and got seats and i ran into autumn's friend Ryan and talked to him a bit. then we just hung out there for awhile drinking coffee/cider and nibbling on some fruit and brie cheese. awesome.
it wasnt too eventful and i didnt get much down in the way of research, so i went back on saturday afternoon with sarah for lunch. but we kinda had issues getting there. i thought she knew how, she thought i brought directions, and both of us were oh so completely WRONG. so... we basically got lost, but finally found DUpont circle, too bad there was a mini-protest and a shitload of cops, honestly, there were more cops than protesters there. it was ridiculous if you ask me. but, we got uber lost bc there was no where to park, so we just kept driving, finding our way out of the city... we ended up near the capital building and on capital hill... followed signs for 95 or something and ended up in the ghetto for awhile... finally got into highattsville (where my parents are from) and then found rt 1 and i knew where we were and we got to college park and got chipolte (me for the first time) and it was amazing. the end of the adventure in dc, and i from now on whenever i go... im taking the fucking metro straight to dupont.
saturday night i was going to go back to my apartment to do homework and study for my exam on tues... but instead i went to a friends and got really drunk. then we had a sappy romance movie marathon all day. inventing the abbotts and the notebook. finally i went home and passed the fuck out sorta... but teresa brought home a band. yeah... a band stayed in my living room. and i couldnt really sleep anyway, but eventually i nodded off. it was kinda funny though, bc i wasnt too asleep and at one point i heard one of teh guys from the band say "would your roomate be pissed if i jumped on top of her and woke her up" or something and i just wanted to say "i would be pissed but you wouldnt be waking me up" but i just kinda ignored... they were apparently like almost all vegans, and straight-edge and all had girlfriends they were very devoted too and i was like "aww how cute, theyre a bunch of sissy's" haha. but i didnt talk to em really. They were IF HOPE DIES from syracuse, new york, maybe... somewhere upstate.
monday i crammed for my exam, up until 430am, omg. but i think i did very well, like an A i think. definetly an A with the curve my teacher gives. oh yeah. awesome.
wednesday was hott as balls, like 89 degrees, but it made it a real beautiful night and all i wanted to do was go for a drive, but i couldnt find anyone, so i just took off on my own and drove around towson and the surrounding area for a little while... i had plans for taco bell and to watch shark tale, however, i gave up on that once i was in my car and just couldnt leave. so i stopped back at my apt and teresa ended up coming back, and we decided to go to hunt valley to smell the mccormick factory. teresa said "lets go to york" and i was like, "if i didnt have class at 11 tomorrow, i totally would".
so we're off to hunt valley and i see a sign... "YORK 33" and im like "its only 33 miles... LETS GO TO YORK!........ AND GET YORK PEPPERMINT PATTIES!!!" so we totally went to york and it was awesome and adorable, but we didnt get york peppermint patties bc we stopped to get gas, but the store inside wasnt open, and we saw no seven eleven or anything.... and so we left. round trip plus a while in york took us like an hour and a half, less time than it takes to get to philly. so it was kinda awesome. and random. bc we'd been talking about how my freshman year of college i used to go on all these random trips and just end up places like nyc or bum-fuck pa and shit... so... i went to bum-fuck pa and it was awesome.
tonight i have no idea what im doing, but im trying to go to dc this weekend again, so if anyones up for dc, totally let me know bc my papers due in like 3 weeks now and ive REALLY gotta get some observations and shit. anyway... i need a cigarettes... and some lunch... and then i think me and teresa are going to clean the shit out of our apartment bc its uber gross... but we might just end up doing our room.
peace homie g's.
oh btw= if you havent already seen it, or heard me say this, see HOTEL RWANDA. it is one of the most powerful movies i have ever seen in my entire life. i was periodically crying, and we know the "ice queen" as i have so been dubbed doesnt usually cry. so do it. its disgusting the apathy that humans hold towards one another these days, that people can just abandon others and basically sentence millions of innocent people to death. its sick. watch it and learn.
or... if youre in the mood for lots of steamy, hott sex scenes and ewan mcgregor totally naked and totally full frontal, watch Young Adam. but no where near as hard hitting as HOTEL RWANDA.
oh also... totally awesome... i took a picture of this bc it was in one of the food areas at towson holding beverages and as soon as i saw it i was like "OMG THATS AWESOME I SO AM TAKING A PICTURE" and i whipped out my phone, and i did, and its awesome, dont you agree?
thats what ive been doing.
