Everyone pretty much covered the event, but I'll just add my day to day goof ups as much as I could remember them.
Friday -Woke up at 6AM for a 11:30 flight. My bags were already checked in by 7:30.
-Didn't realize that Gate 9 wasn't just 'Boston Gate', but it's easily capable of tossing me to Port Spain if I wasn't paying attention.
-Instead of a hot blonde making small talk with me, it turns out it was Nexa pretending to be psychic for her own amusement.
-The receptionist WASN'T asking me how many "cods" I wanted, but how many "cards."
-I recognized Dana right off of the bat thanks to the hair, but didn't know who Kelvy was till later. ((Yes, there is a pattern you will pick up on soon.
-Only recognized Yanarri thanks to Nexa mentioning that they were sharing a room and they came down to the lobby together.
-Didn't have a clue who Smash was until sometime later where someone called him Smash.
-Bumped into Jacob, like he mentioned, I didn't recognize him either, but nobody can't say I'm not polite!
-Recognized DSD mostly because we were running out of people that we were waiting to show up. Deductive reasoning ftw!
-Got a strange call that I thought was another Asylumite. It was a wrong number, but was kinda funny how I thought someone was expecting me to pick up puppies for whatever the reason.
-Antonio != Steven
-Recognized Flea mostly due to deductive reasoning, but at first glance thought she bagged Bill Gates. I was quick to realize that Joph arrived simply by him speaking. Only Joph can pull Joph like Joph can. *chuckles at DSD's super surket nickname*
-Revolving doors are super neat, but meant for 1 person at a time.
-When you don't know what the fu[Black][/Black]ck a restaurant is offering for food, order a burger. Can't go wrong.
-Jacob made it his business to see exactly how much slower I'm capable of getting by sponcoring my alchoholic intake.
-In turn, I acted like a three year old on his first trip to Disney World. ((I get really really dumbed down the more I drink.)) Here is a sample of one of my buzzed convo's (of course, out of my memory, so don't expect it to be too accurate):
DSD: We left the club because it didn't really have the music I had in mind. Nobody was really dancing.
EXO: But I danced!
DSD: Yes, sweety, you did good!
EXO:
-The singers at that other bar killed a small piece of my soul, but it was funny to see not only Jacob get hit on by that dude, but immidiatly loose his catch for not knowing who "Judy" was. We assumed it was just a secret gay code hetero males are intentionally kept oblivious to.
-BOSTON IS COLD.
Saturday -Why did I get up earlier than everyone else?
-I made sure not to eat anything as I waited in the lobby only find out that plans changed for the half going to the museum and we were eating at the lobby.
-I'd elaborate on the museum, but I didn't really do anything stupid here other than laugh and snicker along with the rest of the Asylumites.
-I tipped our crappy cab driver a whole nickle, mostly because I couldn't offer exact change.
-Realized that the whole plop of us are the biggest nerds in Boston. Further concluded that were are the sexiest bunch dispite that title. Then saw a whole bowl of shinies and decided to play poker with the gang.
-I sucked at poker.
-EQII is tempting. (Haven't broken me yet, DSD!)
-Watching DSD browse Allah struck me as weird.
-Watching Danalog on a kiddie computer struck me as normal.
-Found it funny that Kelvy, Jacob, and I starting talking about FFXI and ended up being the only three in the living room.
-Realizing at this point that I should pick up smoking.
-Realized that I brought a camera and took only about 7-9 pictures. ((A nice portion was scenery the few moments I had an oppertunity to take them that wasn't behind wet windows.))
-Dispite my best efforts to stay awake to keep Jacob company as he drove, blinking made things difficult.
-BOSTON IS COLD.
Sunday -Tried to take a little longer to wake up since I was the first one down stairs the day before.
-Was the first one down stairs. Tried to OD on orange juice. (No where near as pro as Nexa, though.)
-Goodbyes suck.
-Took me almost 10 minutes to figure out the GPS system in Yanarri's rental. ((It's a fuggin Nextel Phone with a 'Java' program for a GPS system.))
-BOSTON IS COLD.
-Missed my flight.
-Got really really bored. Was happy to find an outlet, hooked up my laptop, and used the WiFi to poke the forums.
-Being my second time on the plane, I seemed to be over confident. We experienced some turbulance which I was also confident about...up until that one moment where I felt myself drop altitude really quickly for a split second. Needless to say; I crapped my pants.
-Arrived in Miami and I'll be 100% honest; I felt horribly out of place. It was ackward. Actually hit me hard. I shouldn't have walked into that pole trying to find Baggage Claim.
-Arrived home...only to end up driving to the nearest Taco Bell.
