okay back to the trip: (its long but go on and read it s worth it)
tuesday: curry abby and i woke up at 5:30, showered and ate breakfast at the hotel. then we went to the bearau of printing and engraving and saw them make paper haha i wish they had given free samples. me and temp sat there and laughed while we watched the guy who was taking time off his job of printing to eat ginormous sweet rolls.
air and space museum at smithsonian: fun revisiting memories of past but not fun having to listen to a song about the family of the sun
i got these awesome sun glasses that looked like john lennon's at the smithsonian but everyone was like those are funny looking
then i talked to congressman bacchus with jessie and he remembered us. then we took a pic with him and took a tour of the capitol. when me and ma were going to the capitol together this like 20 yr old man was like HEY LADIEs, but i must say, he was cute.hah.
American history museum: me and ma ate at subway and talked and spent the entire time hiding from bryan the new stalker and we learned that if an elevator is on the 3rd floor and there are only 3 floors, you cant go any higher by pressing the 3rd button. im such an idiot.
everyone drank blue raspberry icees and looked like blue aliens as we went to the museum of natural history. we all stared at the Hope Diamond that i will get when i get older (it was named after me in the first place). me and edie were fascinated by all the jewels and gems and chrystals. we had to pee and were late and i couldnt find out how to turn the [automatic] sink on and so we ran and this random guy on the street slapped my butt eek. but we made it ontime
I sat with johnny, the bus driver, cass, and madame classe at the MT Vernon inn-nasty colonial food, i bet its that old too. i almost lit the restaurant on fire(i was holding my candy wrapper above the candle and was like look guys its smokin, then it caught on fire) the bus driver (leon/harold) just sat there laughing. i am such an idiot. hah.
then we went to a lighted monument tour and saw the korean war memorial, vietnam memorial, and the jefferson memorial. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers put forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and (a word i forgot starting with a p) that all men are created equal..." i called whit with bianca at the icee stand, we saw a mini ian. it was great
(that night curry thought it would be funny to soak my towel in the tub with candy so i would only have a kleenex to dry off with so the next morning i had to go to the front desk and get one AHHH)
Wednesday:
i went to the front desk and got a towel and accidentally went to phillip pratts room instead of ours i was xtremely tired bc we stayed up all night knocking on the walls and talkin on the phone to ma and robin and olivs.
then abby put these velcro crap on the ceiling and it fell on us in the middle of the night.
neways, we went to WWII memorial and met this old man who fought and got his leg caught in a shell (bomb)he has a son in bham that was named after some gun.
I was xtremely pissed off at hitler when we went to the holocaust museum, and extremely pissed at everyone who was laughing and playing during the museum when me and edie read everything and looked at everything, it was very sad and everyone was like, it happened to them not me who cares, its not really real, itll never happen again-bullshit it did happen like during the civil rights movement and crap. ahh i hate people like that.
we ate at the reagan center, then drove to maryland to see the Anteitam site-i fell asleep during the movie thing and was really confused and sick feelin when i woke up. then me and ma rolled down the hill at the burnside bridge-haha.
we went to old town alexandria to shop and crap. i was suprised the teachers werent all over us like last year-we really did get to do a ton without the teachers. lizzie,curry(ginger), abby(ginger), jp, me(ginger) and some ohter ppl went to starbucks and some other places. there were some bikers there and curry was like is there a special reason why yall are here? thinking it would be all cool to talk to them since her daddy biked. they laughed and were like we come here a lot and they wanted to talk to us after we explained about the trip and that were from bham. it was weird then we saw arthur,warner,temp &blair i think, and paul sitting at a bar watching football. it was hilarious. paul is my pumpkin spice. jp spilt coffee all over me. arthurs a man whore. no kiddin. kaylee was all over ian and taber and jessica told kaylee that i started rumors about her but i didnt so i was like wtf. i think its all good now bc she knows i didnt now. paul started pmsing and got all pissy. haha jamese is cool.
the ginger sisters had our nightly ritual with making the wintergreen lifesavers spark haha.

we went to the arlington national cemetary and saw kennedys and the eternal flame and saw the changing of the guards ceremony at the unknown soldier grave (the guy had tap shoes on or something), fun, and saw a mr. thistlewaite as a teenager, cute. me and maura were like wait thats not possible, hes cute. there were some hot guys. bryan wouldnt stop following me. arthur, paul, abs, liz, curry, ian, johnny, ma, olives, taber and i hung out there. it was fun we saw mroe hot guys.
we then went to this statue of some guys trying to put up a flag, n then we went to shop for souveniers at the stores across the street from hard rock, i was mad bc some ppl went to h&m without me. temp was like dancing to the music in this shirt store and blair comes up and kicks him in the nuts-i was cracking up. when i came out of the store, this old black guy was trying to sell these post cards and was like u got balls? you got money? and told kaylee she had a hotass. it was hilarious. he was like to jp your balls are so big you walkin round like this ::walks with legs apart like hes holdin two watermelons btwn his legs:: it was super hilarious. we ate at the hard rock and me and ma and jamie and robert and som other ppl tried to consume the cold concrete they had given us-i hate hard rock. it was roberts bday and they got a cake(harris was the day b4) after dinner we waited outside bc it was too loud inside and these asfus(assfukers) were cheking abby out and looking at us all crazy(probably bc we all had to dress up for the matchmaker that night and looked like preps, and evry1 had matching pink truker hats that said washington dc) but it was funny and then these three ppl from their group started making out and like flikin us off it was creepy.
we went to this crappy pavillion to shop/hang and it was annoying.
then we went to the matchmaker at fords theater next to the hard rock and me and ginger(abbby) hung out and looked at the museum downstairs cuz we didnt feel like hanging out with every1 upstairs b4 tha show. then we saw the show and it was hilarious!! "this place is crawling with men" everyone was quoting it but ian and kaylee who were sitting near me and abby adn they tried to make out and according to kaylee their braces got stuck. it was hilarious. i saw bc jamie was handing me a cough drop &happend to look(we both couldnt stop laughing and were so sickly we coughed eachtime we laughed)and yea. it was sad bc me and abs were makin fun of em. PA and VA haha gingervitis.
that night, curry accidentally knocked on this ladys door thinking it was jess's mauras' and tabers but it wasnt and she came out and i was the last person she saw and started like cussin us out and threatening us to pull out a gun and she called the popos to come patrol the halls until like one am. it was scary. and we couldnt call ppl from the hotel nemore bc they disconnected our lines. at like 2 ma and robin came over, and me and ma went to blair and temps room after watchin a night at the roxbury and they had drawn penis's all over the walls (you know how it gets foggy after u shower) and then we went bak and warner came over. we had so much candy our tounges were black it was gross. we had so much freakin candy. it was funny bc they taped our doors but like by an hour afterwards, there wasnt one room with tape on their door. we went to bed at 5 am that night.
Friday:
