The Many Travels of Beckles *WARNING: LONG POST*
Hey everyone! I'm back! I'm absolutely psyched to be back home. I feel like I can really relax now. Anyways, here's the full account of the first day of my trip, haha. It might take a few more posts to get through the whole vacation.
DAY 1:
Had to get up at 4:30 in the morning. I believe that's what they call an ungodly hour of the morning, eh? It seemed okay then, until I got to the airport that is. Then I just kind of crashed. I managed to stumble into Starbucks, and have a very... interesting conversation with the employee.
"How are you this morning, honey?"
"Uhhhhh... I need a cup of coffee... or maybe a punch in the face..."
"*Stare*"
Twas quite amusing. Then we got on the plane, which was more like a jet, or perhaps a claustrohpobia-mobile! But we had two window seats, so Keenan and I didn't have to swordfight over it, which was a relief, since I was way too tired to swordfight anyway. Plus I forgot my fencing foils.
Fencing metaphors aside, we got to Reagan Airport in Washington without much turbulence. But of course, as soon as we reach the airport, we come in too low and practically LAND in the accursed Potomac River! That would have:
1) been quite unpleasant.
2) made me late to get to NH, and pissed Lauren off.
3) ruined the leather seat/ floatation device.
4) been quite interesting for Red, Dagger, and Shanny, who all live in the area, if I'm not mistaken.
The flight was rather long and boring, but I had all 6 volumes of Demon Diary with me. So I simply enjoyed the yummiliciousness of Raenef and Eclipse, and to make a long story short, we got to NH. I didn't get any sleep on the plane, of course. I can't sleep in vehicles/public places/the daytime. But I was awake enough for the time being, and it was snowing! Kind of. It was raining, which is melted snow... okay, it was totally cheap of the air temperature to warm up like that!
After lunch at Papa Gino's, getting harassed by some old ladies sitting behind me ("Oh my God! She looks like a supermodel! Doesn't she look like a supermodel?") and some quick Lent math on my part (Friday + Catholicism + Chicken Tenders = SIN!) I got dropped off at Lauren's, and we picked her up at Salem High. That place is a prison, man! I wouldn't last long there at all. So Lauren and I hung for a bit, and then everyone got there for Lauren's 16th birthday.
Muffy, Elyse, Steph, Jackie, Sarah, Christina, Amanda and someone from Lauren's work (also named Stephanie) were all there. Twas coolness, man! It was a little awkward, as mostly all they did the whole time was complain about people, mostly people that I've known my whole life, and love to death. And most of it was stupid stuff, too. They tiraded about homosexuals, anime (which they hate with a passion), and other stuff that's a part of my life here. So I listened to them talk about their lives, but kept my mouth shut about my own. It's better that way.
But later on, when we had cake, they told me it was a joint birthday part! For me too! ^_^ I got my name on the cake, plus presents for some thoughtful people. It was very much fun... but the four hours of sleep caught up with me, and I had to go into Lauren's room and crash. But not before I made a complete fool out of myself asking Lauren if her coat was a sleeping bag... haha.
But it was pointless, because I didn't sleep well at all, and ended up waking up at 6:00 and not being able to go back to sleep... haha.
It's great to be home!
