so yesterday was an amazing day.
gerrit convinced me to stop being lame and go to kennywood, so i did. kennywood was cool and and roller coasters rock, but the highlights of the day had nothing to do with the actual theme park:
crazy beret lady: on the way to the park, after some crazy running back and forth because of a lost cellphone, we met up at a bus stop and were dancing around and being silly, and this little old lady in a flourescent sweater and purple beret walked up and was like, "what dance were you doing? because i used to be a jitterbugger back in my day" and starts talking about how she learned to dance for her husband and she did everything for her husband and they were married 52 years and it was "just one long honeymoon." And then she said "life is supposed to be joyous. live each day for yourself" and just walked away.
old man and horse piss: then later when we were on the bus on the way to kennywood, we were sitting next to this old man who smelled like fancy tobacco. he told us how he went to kennywood when he was nine and they used to have horses you could ride around and he was like "and i got off the horse and he pissed on my shoe, and he was a big horse and he shit and it was big and i stepped all in it." fantastic.
hot dog hat: gerrit got a giant hot dog hat. it was from some game stand where he hit something with a football or something. anyway, he was wearing it and we were all in line for a roller coaster and there was this little kid, probably about five or six years old, with all his front teeth missing, who saw gerrit with the hat on and immediately started saying "you're a nerd! you're a nerd!"
