The New Year's Adventure: Part Two of Awesome

"My daddy OWNS this cab company," she screamed, her tiara falling askew in her bleach-blond hair, "he OWNS it!"
"Then call him, and let us take this cab!" Alie and I rejoined.
Just as stuff escalated to fever pitch ("Boston sucks!") a regular sized cab pulled up behind and we four piled in.

The story continues...

The cab ride back to Silver Spring wasn't long... it only felt that way because alcohol makes your bladder batshit crazy. At least it did mine. I spent the whole time whining and moaning that I had to go like a 5 year old. Everyone tried to make me laugh, of course, because i have such good friends. We pulled into Matt and Alie's apartment complex and I ran (as only a drunk bitch can run) up the hill with Alie to her apartment for relief. The boys met us at the door and off we went to the diner for some bread-food-for-absorption.


The walk there was an adventure all its own. Matt was not sure of which direction we were going in and tried to run down 16th street. When he figured out his mistake he ran (he only ever ran that night) back across the street and fell. His chin bled, not pretty. We had to pass over a bridge that spanned some metro tracks. We decided to flip off the metro and I took "pictures." That's about all you can do at 3am. We passed Elizabeth House on the final leg of the journey, and Matt was still a bit loud. "Hey, down there! Shut up I'm trying to sleep!" someone shouted from above. "You sound awake to me!" Andrew shouted back. "Excuse the boys, Happy New Year, sir." I shouted up. Alie only shook her head.

The diner was the most packed I have ever seen it. We had to sit at a table next to the kitchen and the lights made me feel even more giddy. Our waitress, sweet and stressed, had been there so long that when she saw our table was empty after she took our order she asked us if we wanted our checks! Poor sweet thing. What a long night to try to work! The food didn't help a whole lot, at least not me. Of course I got a BLT, so what good could it do?

The walk home was just as entertaining. Less running, but now only Andrew knew which direction we were headed in. Alie was turned around, Matt kept wanting to shout at the guy in Elizabeth House and hit street signs, and I was laughign too hard at everything to help.

Home by 4.
Awesome night. I finally had a college experience, I think. Or a kickass adult one.

Then we spent all of Jan 1 in bed watching the Office Season 2. We decided to bike (genius!) to Downtown for dinner, shopping, and Sweeney Todd. Turns out everyone else had the same idea because Matt, Alie, Megan, Lee, Meghan, Derrick, and Rachel all joined us at the theater! And Sweeney was a fantastic movie! What can't Johnny Depp do? Me. Because I'm taken. But that doesn't mean a whole lot I mean it's JOHNNY DEPP!

Excuse me. Moment passed. Adventure checked. Life goes on.

Happy New Year!
