okay, so philly..? yeah very wierd. i mean, obviously it's a given that dali was absolutely amazing, but his surrealism could not even compare to the surrealism i came across later on in the day haha. buck had rugby practice, so i sat in his room and drew for an hour and a half, and then he came back and took me outside to have a cig (everytime i left and came in he had to sign me in/out which was real annoying), and then the R.A. got mad and made me sit in the lounge because i wasn't supposed to be in his dorm when he wasn't there or something. so i was there for another like, hour and a half and drew some mad fucked up shit haha, but i guess that can be attributed to the dali exhibit. so FINALLY we went out to this rugby house, which was like a 10 minute walk, and my cons got soaked through with snow and my feet were about to fall off haha. so we get there, i walk in, and this girl's yelling "NAKED RUN! NAKED RUN!" and i'm sitting there like, um okay... and then these 2 guys come running down the stairs.. very naked. very good first impressions. so after the nudity incident, i just sat and watched people play beer pong from about 11:00 - 2:00, because buck didn't introduce me to anyone, and i was the new kid on the block, so i had to introduce myself to everyone. it was really very akward, but i made it through, haha. there were some chill kids there, but i just wasn't used to it i guess. so at lke 2:15 we're walking back to his dorm, and he just starts pissing me off real bad. so i start yelling at him about god knows what, and i said something to the affect of 'i dont want to look at you right now' or some shit like that, so he walked away and i'm standing in the streets of pennsylvania alone in the middle of the night.. so i walk by this frat house, and one of the guys on the porch goes "I LOVE YOU! COME UP HERE!" so i was just like, 'hey why the fuck not?' which potentially could have been a very bad decision, and walked up. so there are a couple of people chillin outside, and this one guy who i guess was good looking, i dunno, he was wearing a wierd hat, so i didn't like him, just kept hugging me. and i had to pee real bad so i asked if i could use their bathroom, and he was like "yeah! i'll show you where!" so he showed me where , and i peed, which felt amazing, and i went to leave and they were all like "no come hang out with us!" so i did. and we just chilled in the living room and they gave me a beer, and might i add that the one smart thing i did the entire night was not leave my drink unnattended, and i made sure the beer the guy gave me wasn't tainted (i've read too many cosomogirl articles about date rape... haven't we all..?). varsity blues was playing and i was like "oh my god, are you watching varsity blues right now..?" (stoned immaculate memories with maike and rachael about varisty blues hahaa) and they were like "no." so i just sat there and someone goes "it's varsity BREWS!" (and i was like alright, good job fraternities across america making sure that no activities slip through the cracks and escape from being a drinking game...) and they were like "everytime you see a football you drink a beer!" and i was like "that's really cool." so that went on for a while, and i baisically just didn't leave because they said i was pretty, and i have the lowest self-esteem of all time, so i found no problem in hanging out with wierd frat kids who were significantly older than me and i didn't know. i kept saying "i have to leave, i have an 8:22 train tommorow" and they were like "no! come live with us! you don't need to go back!" or "just sleep here, we'll set an alarm for you! is 7:30 okay?" and after a couple hours of varsity brews and smoking cigarettes, i made it back to buck's dorm, fell asleep on the floor with the promise from him that he would wake me up at 6:00 when his alarm went off. yeah, so he didn't wake me up, and i woke up at 8:12, exactly 10 minutes before my train left. then, to make matters worse, he wouldn't take me to the train station, and i have absolutely no idea where the fuck i'm going, so i just got really really mad and walked away, and had to find my way to the station on my own. so i eventually got on the train, went to penn station, then walked to my dad's office. when i walked into his office,since i had my shoes strapped onto the outside of my backpack, my dad goes "you know there's only one shoe there.." and i was just like 'goddamnit.' so when i left, when i got around the corner, I FOUND MY SHOE (well, you either have faith, man, or you fall)! and i ran up to my shoe, and all these people are looking at me running up to this dirty old converse in the middle of the sidewalk, and i go "MY SHOE!!!" and grab it and walk away, and it was real funny. then i just walked around 42nd, wandering aimlessly. but i bought a cd and a book, so it's all good. and have you ever noticed the people on the streets there trying to get you to buy cd's and get tickets for comedy clubs are like pop-ups on the internet..? haha, i came to that conclusion today. but im so bad at just walking away, so everytime i walked by them and they were like "HEY!! do you like comedy clubs?!" i'd walk up and be like "hi!" and start having a conversation with them. i saw 2 different ones on blocks right in a row, and the second ones aksed me if i liked comedy clubs, and i was like "they already got me over there." and she was like "no! that's a different club!" and then they (COMEDICALLY! haha)got real mad that there was competition downstream, and it was really funny coz i thought there was gonna be a comedy gang fight. when i was walking back to my dad's office, the same girl who tried before to get me to buy tickets walked up to me and was like "hey when you walk down the street, tell the other guy that you bought tickets for the improv from alysa" and i did, and he got really upset. all in good fun. but being in the city is awesome because people come up and tell you you're pretty when they want you to buy stuff :). so yeah, i think i've said enough...
