About Me
About Metoo bad I didn't check out the cabs while I was in dc...
end of the story... threw up.
as for the rest of the story...
a friend invited me to washington dc to look at cherry blossoms. I love photography, so of course!! unfortunately, as the day came closer the forecast looked worse and worse. but I'm always determined to make the best of any situation I'm in. in total there was about 11 people that went.
friday night, after work, 2 people showed up, I'm supposed to be the one driving them down. it wasn't too eventful, other than some nerdy conversations, and streets & trips 2009 just sucking at the end. a few U-Es and google maps on my phone, we got to our destination ok. we met up with one person that was here already, had dinner. everyone else arrived sometime after midnight.
sat, wasn't such a great day. cold, rainy. we started off at the lincoln monument. after we were done, it started to rain. everyone was rushing up the steps trying to use the building as cover. it was packed! well except for the back. I definitely had a day after tomorrow moment. why is it that people just cram in the front? there was empty in the back. later on the afternoon, we had some breaks of sunshine. it was pretty much walking along, and taking pictures, wash rinse repeat. we got to the end of the walking path, when the rain came down harder. as much as we warned the dawdlers to hurry up, that the dark clouds were coming, they kept their pace. hail came down, it kept us dryer, but still cold. we took shelter under a bridge to try to find a restaurant to eat. we had lunch at potbelly, even with everyone in the restaurant, people were still iffy in staying. it's hard to keep 11 people happy at the same time. a little bit of a break back in the hotel, then an alcohol run. it's convenient to have beer & wine in a grocery store. but finding tequila is a little tricky. doesn't help not knowing the roads. as for dinner, we went to chili's to get a special deal on parking, only 1 car was able to go in and out freely, so we were ferried in 3 trips.
so after everyone was ferried back we got our drink on. we played kings. I had fun. it wasn't as severe as the halloween incident of '10 I had 3 beers and some tequila shots to finish. I was a little disappointed. it always looked fun, but it wasn't all as it was cracked up. some of it was issues with our limes, they were super hard and the plastic knife had problems going straight through. the party kinda went south when one person threw up. I was concerned, I could see white while she was asleep. I never slept around her, so it could be normal.
in the morning I was greeted by a huge headache. and that vomity feeling. I tried hard to throw up, they were rubbing my back and everything. I was worried about throwing up while driving home, so I decided to induce it. but the headache was relentless.
on the way home, I felt really sleepy, so I thought I'd take a nap at a rest stop. I heard a car next to mine, the parents were yelling at the kids, they were a little close. and a big heffer opened the back door and my passenger and I felt the car move. the earthquake I felt in taiwan was less than this girl opening the door! I didn't see any damage.
Mood: good times, good people. I just miss dictatorship sometimes, democracy takes too much time!
