So guess what I did this weekend?
Took an extremely last minute trip up to NYC! Woo-hoo!
My friend and I bought our bus tickets at like 2am on Friday night, lol. There's a bus that goes from Baltimore to NYC, $35 round-trip, which was really nice. It drops you off right in front of Macy's, which is also really nice.
So anyway, we got there around 12:30 on Saturday and kind of bummed around for a bit. We met up with the guy we were staying with, her ex-boyfriend, who lives down at NYU. Then at 3:00 I ditched them and met up with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
xingou!
From there on out, the rest of the day/evening was awesome. (and here's where I try not to mess up names. ^^;;)xingou and I went shopping at Macy's for over an hour and bought some really cute skirts! Then at 5:00 we met up with duendeoflorien and shabzilla and headed over to Zen Palate for dinner with starrysummer, wildegirl_05, ziasudra, alafairnadia, and elanor_isolda. Dinner was really good, even though I'd never had that sort of food before. Was very pleasantly surprised!
After that,ziasudra, alafairnadia, and elanor_isolda had to leave, but the rest of us went over the the Big Apple Ranch where we met up with paranoidsistah for the Gay Rodeo! AKA line dancing with lots of gay boys! ^.^ Turns out I am really, truly terrible at line dancing, and even worse at the two-step. I mostly sat on the sidelines and watched the AMAZING boys dance, because seriously, THEY WERE REALLY GOOD. lol, Rachel was dancing with everyone there, Robin and Sandra were dancing quite a bit, too, Shabz and I were attempting to learn the steps (I think between us we knew about seven. ^^;;), and Jess and Sowmya were squeeing over the night's Harry and Draco, who were these two amazing, fantastic professional dancers who were really cute, hehe. And when I say squeeing, I mean SQUEEING. As in I think they scared them off for a bit, lol. ^.~ But they came over and talked to us at the end of the night and were telling us where they'd danced and what sort of competitions they'd won and such. Was very cool.
No, seriously though. I was horrible. Both Rachel and Jess tried to teach me and I so off it was pathetic. ^^;; It was so much fun, though. Just watching all the GOOD people was plenty entertaining.
After that we went to this cafe place that didn't card (yay! even though I didn't get an alcoholic drink, still, yay!) and sat there for, seriously, about two hours chatting. Chatting a lot about fandom and such, as well as other things. That was almost my favorite part of the night just...because. Talking is fun. Talking about fandom is even more fun. Then again I'm not sure if it can really top the line dancing boys, but it was close! Hell, the entire night was fantastic!
But eventually we had to leave, and I ended up back at the place I was staying around 2:30 in the morning. Then my friend and I left on the bus a 12:30 the next day.
So only one night, BUT IT MADE ME EVEN MORE EXCITED FOR LUMOS!! I'll be seeing some of the girls again in Vegas, but Jess, Rachel, IT WAS AWESOME! So, so much fun!! Rachel, I'm definitely gonna come up again, and Jess, I'll have to get up to Syracuse at some point! Or, you know, you could come down to Baltimore. ^.~
Anyway, that's all I've got.
Wow, I say "awesome" a lot. ^^;; It's because I'm tired. I can't think of any other words, lol.
Oh, so um, the last minute trip kind of delayed Answers 14... Not delayed as in Won't Be Finished delayed, but delayed as in Will Most Likely Be Posted Unbeta'd delayed, because there's no way I'm sending it tosmutella and impish_nymph and asking them to get it back to me in less than an hour, lol. ^^;; That'd be mean!! So what will probably happen is that I will post what I have, which will hopefully not be completely full of errors, and then I'll posted an updated version later.
K, bed now. Night all!
