It was my spring break last week and I spent a few days in Philly with my sister then I went to Penn State main campus up in Happy Valley to visit an old friend of mine who I've known for 20 years! Yes a long ass time! It was nice spending time with her and meeting some of her friends like her gay roommate with a just as cute boyfriend and discovering one of her friend is a metal head although she doesn't look it at all and learn the song
Sick Bubblegum by Rob Zombie! LOL, really good song!! It was a nice trip since it gave me something to do during my break otherwise I would've just spent all my time at home doing nothing or at my sister's doing nothing. So we basically just chatted and caught up with each others' lives, went to see
Clash of the Titans and
Ninja Assassin at a friends, sat around a bar watching college kids get wasted, saw a car get saran wrapped and toilet papered and a bunch of other things but those were the most memorable things!
My friend has this dish she makes that her roommate calls "Vomit Pasta." It's not a disgusting dish but the name comes from what it sort of looks like. It basically has EVERYTHING in it. There the pasta, onion, sweet peppers, corn, peas, an assortment of cheese, cream of mushroom/celery/and chicken and a variety of spices. It was def a yummy dish minus the onion and peppers which I hate! While there we did a lot of cooking! Throughout my time there we've had this chicken/mushroom meat ball patty things (which were realllllllly good with Worcestershire sauce,) bruchetta, pasta salad, corn and black bean salad, cucumber salad, hash brown and eggs and toast and thin bagel (they were half the size! and half the calories!) and other stuff. I think I gained weight eating there..... but it was all good and fun!
Since coming back home on Monday night, it was weird not talking to her since that's what we did every night. Esp since this went one for a few days. It was a hard ride getting there but not as bad as coming home!!!!!!!! For the ride there, I took Greyhound and the bus wasn't packed so I had the two seats to myself which is always nice, but on the way there, apparently there was some crackhead there but I didn't really pay much attention to it since I had my headphones on. I overheard some guy mention her and he sad she was kinda bugging out, bugging him and switching seats, had lipstick all over the place and mentioned she stole a bunch of cough syrup or something. I luckily kept away from that and didn't have much to worry about.
On my way home though.....ugh! I didn't take Greyhound but a Chinese bus company which is cheaper and goes straight back to NYC. Well I guess they pick which kind of vehicle to use depending on how many people are on. Since there weren't that many they had a van that seated I guess 15 people or something. It wasn't full all the way but I did have to share my seat and this guy that sat next to me was a big guy! I'm guessing he had to be over six feet. I tend to fall asleep right away which I did and maybe an hour in I woke up and felt him leaning into me. He's a freaking BIG GUY and heavy!!! His legs were also so long that my leg fitted right under his! And he did that, put his leg over my leg. This guy really didn't understand personal space dammit! It was also all hot and humid in the van because there were a bunch of us in there and no windows were open or anything. Eventually the driver turns on the AC every now and then. I was going crazy until we finally made a restroom stop.
I needed to get out and pee and buy a cold drink because it was that warm. When it was time to go back in, I made sure I took up more space so the guy next to me wouldn't be all over me. Well it worked for a while until he kept inching into me and I finally got pissed off and use my laptop bag to kinda keep him away and if he did lean in, he'd get a gut full of corner! It worked but I'd fall in and out of sleep the whole way, it was a five hour trip! Well maybe four and change but that five is including my train ride back home. Anyhoo it was a fun little vacation I took and I got to relax and chill and I kinda wish I had more time to just lull around but it's time to get back to reality and do stupid work..... T_T
Another interesting thing I noticed today was how crazy people are over seats on the trains! I use to think it was mostly the Chinese and I know this cuz I see my kind doing it alllllll the time, but no it's freaking EVERYONE. There was this Indian or middle eastern guy standing and he saw this guy looking like he was going to get up. He goes up to the guy and stands in front of him making sure he'll get the seat, uhh maybe you should let him get up first then you can sit.... It's so bizarre how people act, but I'll admit I do try getting the seat if either I've been standing all day or something or I know I've a long way to go. But I don't purposefully make sure that only I can get a seat!!!
And one more odd tidbit I saw today: this grown woman who was a mommy as well as another one on the way, was sucking on her thumb..... I'm sorry but only babies are allowed to do things like that, not even kids, just babies! First of all, the finger is disgustingly dirty and full of germs unless its in a sterilized thumb bubble....! Which I think could be an interesting invention for weirdos who like to suck on their thumbs! Anyhoo I think its time to wrap up this crazy long post! Have a good one!
listening to "Bad Romance" by 30 Seconds to Mars rendition (its different and really good!)
Over the weekend I went back to MoMA hoping to finally catch the stupid Tim Burton exhibit but alas again I was denied! And of course the exhibit is now over so I'll just have to wait for online postings to see what happened..... Oh well, I still went in to check out the rest of the museum which is always nice. A performance artist, Marina Abramovic had a show and it was really interesting. I brought my nephew Justin (thinking we might catch the Burton exhibit) and I didn't realized how much nudity there was at her exhibit! I of course don't care, but he's six years old so yah.... While we're walking through, I had to cover his eyes but the most interesting aspect of the museum was that there were two naked people (could be 2 guys, 2 girls, or mixed) about a feet or two apart and you had to walk between them to get to the next room. Of course this was optional but Justin really wanted to go through so after much thought and contemplating we both went through and enjoyed it and it was fun! How often can you say you were between two naked guys!
