So I just got back from my halloween trip to MD/DC/VA. I had a good time, but so many things happened on this trip that I don't know how to classify it. I'll start at the beginning:

The night before I left, I was up till 5am making the Dabu cd for the party. For those of you who don't know, we always make a cd as a gift at the halloween party. So, while I was making them my cd drive started acting funny. Does this sound familiar...oh wait, please refer to Dead Drive back in Sept. While it was acting funny, it was still recording and sometimes corrupting the cd's. At one point, I left one burning and went to the kitchen. There was talking to my parents and standing next to the stove. Our stove is on an island and is one of those flat glass panel tops. As the baseball game is going to start, the lights go out and there's a very loud explosion boom noise that comes out of the stove. Yes, it scared us all and when we got to lights back on, we left the stove breaker off. So I check my computer and my driver is not working. Lovely. So I had to finish the rest on my sister's laptop which was fine, but that's why it took so long...her laptop's a little slow.

So I finish, lay down for a bit only to be woken up at 5:15am since I had a very early flight. Flight to Miami was good. Flight from Miami to DC, well...there was a crying baby on board. That baby cried for 2 and a half hours. There I am not having slept since monday and I'm sitting next to a crying baby. Fun! So I get to DC, have dinner with my brother and later meet up with some of his friends. By then I was really tired and only had one drink at the bar. I wanted to sleep, but I was out till 1am. After a night's rest, I took the train to Baltimore and stayed with my friend Marissa. We were supposed to go to this restaurant for dinner, but we never made it. In the spirit of this strange trip, as soon as we get into the city, there was a detour. So that led to trying to find a back way to the restaurant which led to more detour....which then led to getting completely lost for an hour and a half and ending up back around her house. Friday night, my friend Julie was driving down from PA so she picked me up and we headed to Bethesda. We hung out for a bit and then I took the metro to VA. Lots of drunk people on the metro at midnight :)

Got to VA and proceeded to almost kill Chris by drinking almost an entire bottle of rum by ourselves. Saturday was the party in Columbia, MD. We were the first to arrive at Rich's parents house and Rich was already drunk off his ass. hehe. Drank, had fun, laughed at people who got stuck on the dishwasher....and ended up spending the night there. Sunday, passed out on Chris's couch and didn't even take my shoes off and later that night we chilled at Shawn and Alyssa's place for a while before I headed back to DC. Monday (yesterday) I was HURTIN'! My weekend had definitely caught up to me. I have bruises on my knees and have no idea where they came from and my body just ached in general.

So I get to the airport and everything is fine. Get to Miami, everything's fine...I had a 3 hour wait which turned into 5. The plane we had to take was an international flight coming in from Bogota...which was delayed to begin with. By the time it got there and customs checked the plane blab blah....it was late. Got on the plane, sat next to some dude who snored and farted. And that was my quite odd trip.
