yes, it was a (long) DAY trip - don't be confused by maddie's outfits. we sweat
yesterday. fuck school. love senior year (kinda). day trip to DC w/ zooks on 80mph cruise control. left with the sun - came back with the moon. visited american. SHE IS AN AMERICAN GIRL! (tom petty & samantha/kirsten/molly/felicity/ady/random PC dolls). loved loved loved AU - samy, our gay tour guide, the grass, the fields, the vibe, the dorms, the gym, the quad, the flaming cupcake, the city, the location. returned to maddie's untouched, beautiful old house. & neighbors. & shopped in her old downtown. i think i was more excited and giddy about it than she was - i just can't imagine how cool it must be (coming from a girl who has never moved and lives in her mom's old house - whose mom has never moved either). took the metro to union station for dinner. tried to get a starburst martini - shot down. holla-ed and stared at. played pretend with the celebrity game. met our gay & obsessed buddies @ body shop. loved our little buddy, matt, on the metro. 'get off at takoma/get off at takoma'. indeed he did! $150 ticket for being lazy and not swiping my metro card to get out. 'are you high? it's a swing door. can i see some ID? [...] you're seventeen.' meanwhile, i'm squatting on the ground in hysterics. shocking cold air blasts to stay awake in the dark - lots of swerving and random 'OMG's - realizing we were seconds from guardrails and medians.
all in all, spent all of yesterday laughing with my bff road trip buddy :)
YAYYY!!!
(the best. treated us like royality. real celebrity. & they gave us their email addresses, written on our receipt, so i can send them our picture together.
facebook maddie!
still exhausted, sore feet, good (no - GREAT) stories, procrastinating like hell (two papers due last week), & soaking up second semester seniority.
