Mid-week post of randomness plus a meme.

BACK FROM D.C. obviously; thanks to everyone who wished me a good time. It was a lot of fun; aside from the usual monuments/memorials (my fave has to be the World War II Memorial; it was so pretty I could have spent hours just sitting by the fountain), we also checked out the Smithsonian (the Air and Space Museum kicks ass; we got to see the Wright

Washington D.C. is beautiful. I've been there twice, and I loved it.

Watching the Olympics is really fun; but I was dying last night watching the Women's Gymnastics team... it was really intense and we were doing really well against China until beam/floor. It went downhill after Alicia fell on beam. *sigh* Still a silver isn't anything to complain about.

Lol, sorry. I love watching gymnastics! I'm excited to see the battle for all-around.

I've said it once, I'll say it again: Yamamoto is totally my ideal boyfriend, lol. If I could get him away from baseball, that is. :)

And I'll try your meme! :) Gimme a letter!

Yeah, the downtown area around the Mall is gorgeous. Some other parts, not so much, but you can say the same for any city.

Oh man, I hear you on the women's gymnastics. I was so excited when one of the Chinese team members fell off the beam and weakened that point advantage that they had, but when Alicia fell that was pretty much it. Still, the Chinese team was amazing, and they totally earned their gold. And like you said, silver ain't bad either.

Haha, same here. He's like the perfect man, seriously; even the fact that he'd be busy all the time with mafia/baseball stuff is cool with me because I like my space anyway. If only I could kidnap him from the manga. XD

As for the meme, how about M?

I want to visit DC again... last time I went was for my 8th grade trip. It wasn't a very educational experience, unfortunately, thanks to some poor planning and scheduling snafus. Alas. I'm glad to hear you had fun! :)

I shall do the meme, if it's all right? Giveth me a letter! :3

[makeste]

Heh, yeah, unfortunately I can easily see how that kind of thing could mess up a trip there, especially for a big group. Hope you have a better experience the next time you get to go. And thanks!

Hmm, let's go with L!

[sandrock]

Yeah, it was just not a good scene. Hehe. I'm going to hold out hope for another time though! :) I hear all sorts of good things about DC, this entry as a case in point, so I have faith that a good visit is possible.

Ooh, L. *goes to write entry*

Washington D.C. is beautiful. I've only been once, for a history trip with my high school, but it was incredibly awesome. Someone broke into the White House with a sledgehammer while we were touring the building; he was politely escorted outside by the very good looking secret service agents :DD

[makeste]

It is. This was my second trip; I visited once before when I was about 12. Fortunately all the stuff I liked was still as cool as I remembered. :)

Someone broke into the White House with a sledgehammer while we were touring the building

OMG hilarity. A sledgehammer?! People are nuts. XDD

[o_melody_nelson]

Oh yeah. It was awesome.

[makeste]

I'LL BET IT WAS holy shit. |D

[rikasaurus]

Oh wow you're lucky. Seeing the white house in person (or in house? idk xD) sounds awesome.

I've only been to DC once to visit some family members And they kinda live in the "slums", so I didn't get to really sight see xD

Also,*COMMENT*

[makeste]

Haha, to be fair, we couldn't actually get anywhere near the building; we were pretty much just looking at it through the fence and across the massive front lawn. But it was kinda pretty since it was night and it was all lit up.

Ahh, that sucks. Maybe you could catch a bus or something downtown one day if you visit again? It's definitely worth checking out.

YOOOSH! How about J?

I've been to DC once, but I don't remember it being that happy on a trip (holocaust museum, town on the verge of being rained on badly due to a hurricane.) x.x What was good, though, was that the one sunny day we did have was very pretty.

I love that you put Yamamoto and Toph in there. They're both so awesome *_* And Takato is soo cute` Even if Tamers wasn't my favorite of the Digimon seasons, I did like him. I would give him a hug anyday. :3

I want a letter now, to see what I come up with. :D

[makeste]

We went to the Holocaust Museum too, though I wasn't particularly enthused to go (...people don't usually come out of Holocaust memorials smiling and having fun, you know?). XD It was really good, though, if somber. And yeah, the weather can make all the difference in the mood there; it was just starting to drizzle/rain on us too late on Sunday; thankfully we'd pretty much wrapped things up by then.

Yamamoto and Toph are characters who just kind of define awesome. And oh, Takato... well, I pretty much said it all already, but yeah. <33333

As for a letter, this meme is sponsored by the letter S?
