Trip to Boston 4/20/98-4/21/98


OK, well my trip began a lil odd... I was supposed to go on the 19th, buuuuut--shit happens and I ended up staying over Ali's house for the night. Well maybe I should explain a bit.. It was a bit more complicated than just that!!!!

Alrighty then.. well I was supposed to head down with a few chick pals o' mine.. but they kinda backed out at the last minute... but all hope was not lost!! I called up the bus station and shit.. and got info... but I thought someone in my house picked up the phone.. soooo I didn't quite pay attention.. ok so anyways...

I told my mom I needed a toothbrush (I know.. how fucking lame!!).. so I took her car and headed down to the bus station thingy... and there I got a whole lotta bus info!!.. so after I was thinking (while I drove) "What the hell? I could just drive to Boston.. My folks would NEVER know.." Please keep in mind I'm not toooooo quick. but I then thought to myself "You fucking moron.. oh yeah.. 'Mom I went to get a toothbrush.. but they were all sold out everywhere I went.. untillll I hit Boton..' hehehe" So then I quickly dropped that notion!.. I drove past Ali's house (twice). I walked up to her house and was like "Can I stay over the night?" and she said slighty surprised, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN BOSTON!?!?!?!?!" and I was like, "Nope change of plans!" then she retorted with, "Take me to Wal*mart" I was a bit perplexed by that lil statement.. then she explained that her mom was working soo yada yada... ok, so we go to wal*mart, and by this time it was like half-an-hour since I left home! OK soo after like 10 min trying to locate Ali's mom we finally found her.. and she was totally cool with me staying!! SO I go and dropped off Ali at home and told her I would be back in an hour and she was like, "Why an hour?"

"Cuz I'm walking back... and well you know."

"YOU'RE WALKING???"

"Well, how the fuck else do you suppose I'll be getting here to stay the night??"

"Your mom's car."

"I'm taking the car back.. My parents don't quite know I'm staying at your place.. remember?"

"Ohh yeah.. ok.. well have fun."

"Ohhh I will.. The walk should be interesting!"

You see Ali lives in a nice area.. but to get there you kinda have to go past this slummy area... but fuck it!!

So I got back and was like

"Ok I'm going now.. I'll see you guys on Tuesday.. Bye!!"

And of course I gave my neph a hug and a kiss-a-roo !! And off I went to Ali's house! I was listening to rather happy-go-lucky, just makes you wanna dance to kinda of tunes on the way. And well.. Hehee I was kinda skipping/dancing/walking (keep in mind I DON'T dance!) and to top it off these kids I know drove by and shit.. it was funny!! OK so I got there and everything was cool. Then Amy came by and we all went over to Ali's g-ma's house and as we were leaving I noticed that the house's addy was 666.. I was a bit freaked by this.. but hey--ok, well anyways.. Amy helped me write a letter (if you've ever seen my hand writing.. you'd understand!!).. then a bit later Amy left.. sooooo yada yada yada.. it's night and well I actually went to bed.. get this.. like at 11pm!!!!! (yet again.. if you know me.. you'd realize how damn incredible that is.)

Sooo the bus was set to leave at 6:50am.. I woke up at like 6:20, got all my shit ready, and left.. Only to remember like more than half way I forgot something.. so I booked my ass up the (very large) hill, got what I needed, and was gone once more. On my way back down the hill.. like maybe and few yards away from the bus thing.. what do I happen to see?? The FUCKING Bus!!!.. so me being the suave, calm, cool, collective chick that I am. I flipped the fuck right out flagging down the bus. And the dude was incredibly cool!!! And he pulled over. So I ran (which is rare.. due to the following) and fell on my face,.. cuz my fucking damn useless, fucked up knee locked up on me.. again!!!.. so any ways I got up and got to the bus and asked quite possibly the MOST useless thing I have ever uttered!! "Is this the bus to Boston?" (Not like the huge ass sign that read "Boston" wasn't enough of a dead give-a-way!!!) And he was like

"Yeah."

"Ummm is it too late to get a ticket??"

and after some thought he said

"No.. get on.. we'll get you a ticket on the next stop"

"OHHHHH, thank you sooo much I truely appreciate this like more than you can beleive!!"

Alright so now I'm on the bus.. and there's only one other dude on with me.. and he was like this scary looking, hair shaven all around except the top.. and that hair was long and tied back.. and he was just ewwwwwwwwww.. And not to mention, when we stopped, he walked off the bus with his hand in his jacket.. which kinda freaked me out a bit!! Ok so we get to the next stop.. and got my ticket.. which was cheaper so that was cool!

Sooo finally I was on my way to Boston to see my buddy Scott!! I brought with me for the bus ride a few things to keep me busy... well, actually Ali let me take a few things!!

I had my walkman (surprise surprise!!), and lil notebook o' shit (I take it everywhere I go).. and Ali let me take electronic Battle ship, Wheel o' fortune, and Yatzee (which I still have no fucking clue how to play!!)

Ok, well I got a bit bored so I shut my eye and just tuned out.. and when I open my eye.. there were like 5 more folks on the bus.. not to mention like 3 HOTTIES!!!!!!!! Hehe fucker--I was like all just joe cool, and like eyes cloosed.. FUCK!!! Ehh oh well.. fuck it I don't care!! Cuz I was going to Boston and O.D.-ing massively on Veruca-fucking-Salt!!!! So after like 8 or 9 other stops along the way.. and like maybe 4 or 5 more hotties jumped aboard, we finally got to the Bay State!! I got off the bus and instantly saw Scott!! So, I got off and we met and it kicked ass.. we walk to his car and shit... by the way.. his fucking Volvo KICKS the most most ASS!! I loved that car!!! So we got to his place, were I met these 2 really cool kids who gave me this Blink-182 sticker,. which is gonna go on my scooter!! So, yeah, they were cool.. then we went up to his apartment.. and like right off got into his play room and started watching Verca Salt videos for a few hours.. Then this really nice guy, Pablo, came over and talked for a bit.. Then back to the VS-a-thon. I swear Scott has like biggest collection of VS stuff I've ever seen.. he's sooooooo fucking lucky!! But at the same time he deserves it all, cuz he's sooo damn cool/nice/and ass kicking!!! SO after that, we took a break and headed to the art studio where he does his painting (what a coinsidence, huh?). Before went went to the studio, I also got a chance to meet his pal Vallter (not sure about the spelling, but hey). This kid, his b-day is the 25th.. he's gonna be 21 .. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD!!!!!, is really cool, very smart and talented.. WOW you should see this maze thing he's made on his comp.. is totally WOWSY COOL!!! I was, needless to say, blown away by his abilities!

Then after that, I got to meet Judy, a very cool, and like all the other of the house.. highly artisically inclined... I swear all of the people who live at this house, like totally have this mind blowing art skill.. and I envy them for it!!
Ok ok.. well then we finally got to the studio.. and-WOW-I've always wanted to see an art studio.. and it was just as cool.. if not cooler then what I have always pictured in my mind!.. Scott has this HUGE (and when I say HUGE I do mean HUUUUUUGE ass painting he's working on.. and all I can say about it is FUCKING WOWSY WOW the fuck WOW!!!!!) We stayed up there for a bit and his pal Larry came up and the Valter also joined us.. We sat around, not doing much.. Just talking and it was really nice--I enjoyed it. Then Larry left and Scott, Valter and I stayed for a bit more, then we finally went back to Scott's apartment.. and we ended up haveing a bit of fun with Johnny Walker Black Lable...and hehehe I brought over Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke".. and Valter had NEVER even heard of them.. WOW it was cute.. he was like laughing soo hard.. hehehe I felt actually kinda privileged to be the one who introduced him to such a cult classic film.

Although he wasn't able to finish the movie, cuz he had to leave.. I was happy to do a mighty good duty... spread happiness and joy to all!!! HEHEHE dammit oh well..
So anyways.. once Scott and I finished the movie I cooked din din for us... then back to the mega-VS-a-thon!!!! We listened to a few tapes and watched a few videos and had a grand ol' time!!!! We finally turned in at 2am... We went to his job the next day. I woke him up at 7 and we got all ready and shit.. and got to the T. While waiting for the train I got to meet 2 of Scott's pals.. who I've plum forgot their names. They were both really nice!! After we got on, Miranda, another one of Scott's cool ass chick pals, got on.. I only said hey.. but she, just like everyone else I got to meet, seemed to be totally cool assed!!! We got off the train and got to his job.. which I was just Awe-stucked by!! He works with like the most ass kicking group of folks.. All of them were like totally cool and very funny!! Then he let me go off on my own.. in Boston.. that was pretty damn coool!!

I went down on Newbury St. and just walked all the way from one end (like right across the street from this Park thingy) all the way to the end which was where Tower Records was... I got.. get this would cha, "Blow it Out Your Ass, It's Veruca Salt" on VINYL!!!!!!!!! Ohh holy shit--now that was cool!!!!! that was at Newbury Comics.. then I walked down to Tower Records.. and got the fucking "Seether" single!!!!!! Ohhh HOT damn this was a kick ass trip!!! Then I went back to the office. and met up with Scott and I got to meet "Kick Ass Kenny," Scott's boss!! hehe.. Ken let scott go to a VS concert.. hence the Kick Ass Kenny deal! Then Scott took me out to lunch and we went to this really quaint greek resturant.. and that was cool.. then from there we went to this music/guitar place... where I fell in LOVE with this guitar.. a Fender Telecaster.... ohh lord.. I got to sit down with it and just fuck around with it.. wow--I want one dammit!! it was really comfy and it totally felt sooo right holding it!! Maybe someday.. soon!!

Ok, well Scott left me there to go back to work.. and he also helped me out.. I got the sheet music to "Eight Arms to Hold you!!!!" FUCKING HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! At last.. "Venus Man Trap," "Straight," "Shutterbug".. well fuck it.. All of those tunes are like fucking the most awesomest!! Ohhh lord I can't fucking wait till I can learn even half of those tunes!!!
ok well I got back form the store. and well I've been doing this.. up dating my page ever since... soooo yeah.. ok.. well when I get back I'll put the rest of my "Going back home from Boston."


Ok I'm Baaaaaaaaack.. unfortunately... hehe I miss Boston and all the cool people! Well you know what they say... there's no place like hell.. I mean home!! hehehe. Alright well.. Scott and I left his job and took the train to the bus station. We got there and i was totally not wanting to go... I mean, look at what I have to look forward to.. not much... only a few people that I can stand to hang out with.. the rest are all fucking useless preps! (sorry Ali and Amy.. you're not part of the useless preps.. you're cool preps!!)

Ok so.. I got on the bus.. and well the first thing I did was start to read the music to 8 Arms!! hehe I'm pathetic!

Ok so on the way.. there were these 2 or 3 annoying as fuck lil 13 years old chicks.. who WOULD NOT shut up!! I can now safely say I know everything about some John dude that they were talking about the whole fucking way!!.. by the way he sounded like a real PUTZ!! So after about 5 mins on the bus.. I was forced to tune out.. but unfortunately those chickies were a bit loud and I still could hear them even with my set at full blast!!

We stopped in Concord (NH) were I was totally and utterly bewildered!! My sister Viv was there waiting for me!! And hell, she even brought my a burger and fries (THAT'S not at all like her.. she must want something!!)! So then the bus left again and I told her "Later!"

Then back on the road.. with annoying chicks.. well I got home that night at like 10:00-ish.. adn the bus dropped me off in Gorham. Which is like 2 hours walk from my house!.. I was totally like.. ok there is no way in hell I'm walking this time of night back home!!.. soo I did the Mónica thing to do.. I hitched a ride! I got home and well.. that's that... ohhhhh the fun!! Let me tell you.. I got back just in time for my sister to yell at me.. "where the hell were you all weekend?!?!?!" Damn I feel special.. she noticed I was gone!! hehehe ok that's aobut it.... bye bye 1
