2:57 am - our trip...
|
I figure since I have time, I should write a little about how our trip is going so far.
We were on the train for two days. Spent the entire two days in the smoker’s lounge. It was the best place to be because it is where we met the most interesting people:
Vondell: he was the first man we met. He’s a 30-year-old black man who looks like a mix of Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Rock. Skinny, white shirt and shorts, gold chain. He spent the entire trip charging his phone and smoking. Every time we saw him he would say “3:20 tomorrow! 3:20 tomorrow!” Which is when we were arriving in Chicago. He had a fat son, TJ, who would run in and out of the lounge.
Ryan: he was our favorite. He’s an actor from Brooklyn, New York. He’s lived in Chicago, New York, Hollywood. All the hot spots. He afro-active, as he says. We talked about books, philosophy, plays, movies, and musicals. He’s wonderful. We hung out with him on the train, at the stop in Colorado, and once we got to Chicago. In the past years he was a drug dealer, went to jail, acted, did a hip-hop poetry show on HBO…and lots more that I just don’t feel like listing.
Dawn and Angie: mother and daughter. Dawn spent almost the whole trip cleaning up the lounge. Her daughter would just laugh. At one point Dawn got in a fight with this crazy man. Angie let Adam, Ryan, and I watch Shriek at 2 in the morning. We couldn’t sleep.
Crazy man: he looked like one of those homeless profits. He would talk shit on black people, Jews, presidents. And then out of nowhere he’s start singing. He caused the “Amtrak drama.”
That was the main group. Or at least the people who talked. There were many people who would sit there and randomly talk. All together the trip was wonderful…to wonderful to put into words. Especially because I am not very good at writing.
Once we got off the train Adam and I waited for his sister, Diana, and her boyfriend, Erick, to come and pick us up. From there we went to the Ohio House Motel for Adam and I to get a room. We finally got to take a shower…but with no shampoo. An hour later we went to the Modest Mouse show at the House of Blues. It was a pretty good show…their new stuff has such a different sound.
The next day Adam and I walked around Chicago. Ate pizza and walked down Michigan Ave.
Around two we started the drive towards Michigan. We stopped off at a Sand Dune Beach in Indiana. This was my favorite part. Once we got to the top of the dune it started to pour down rain and lightning. We just sat under a tree and smoked. It was beautiful. We finally got to Michigan around 10.
Adam’s family is nice. His brother is just an odd little boy and his sister is extremely nice. Every night there has just been excessive drinking…on mostly on Adam’s part.
There is still six more days to the trip. I wish I could explain it better. When I get home I will post picture of the people from the train and everything.
More to come.

so everyone's leaving, if not already gone.
sebby is moving to santa rosa.
kris moved to pittsburgh.
david and bryan are going on a road trip.
shannon and laura are going on tour.
its going to be lonely without everybody.
and there will be 22 more days until adam and i leave for our 10 day trip. at least i'm excited for that. we already bought a new camera; a canon ae. it's old but durable and adam loves it. i'm buying a zoom lens for my nikon tomorrow, more filters, and more memory for my digital. we're also doing a lot of clothes shopping, therefore a lot of working...which will keep me busy. that doesn't chage the fact of how much i'm going to miss everybody.
damn it. now you got me all emotional.

i just threw some of the pictures together so that i wouldn't have to upload all of them. the quality is horrible. i have a new image host and it makes the images really low quality. it's disapointing.

so, the bon fire didn't turn out the way we thought it would. considering we went to the wrong beach and couldn't find any fire pits. afterwards we went to dennys. finally adam and i went home to watch a movie on IFC entitled love & sex. it was about a girl (Famke Janssen) who was called horseface in high school and a guy (Jon Favreau) named adam. funny isn't it. i guess you'd have to know me...and the horror i had to endure while being called horseface all throughout jr. high. it was funny watching it. imagining it as really a preview of adam and i in 20 years; or at least some parts.
tomorrow is easter. family gathering at my house. as usual, my mother is under a tremendous amount of stress which always makes me sad. on monday we are going to see the faint. yay. i have been enjoying the few shows i've been to. it seems for a while we didn't go to any…now i'm going (or have gone) to 3 in the same two weeks: bright eyes, apples in stereo, and now the faint. i really enjoy it. just being there. yeah.
its almost three. i should get some sleep.

Do you ever wonder… if you were in a movie how your character would be portrayed? What each scene is supposed to mean? What music would be playing? And how it would end?
I do, all the time.
blah blah blah.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.
- Dante
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
- Kurt Vonnegut
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
- Andy Warhol
too much is going on for me to handle. i feel very alone, i have no one to talk to, to go to, no one to make me feel like everything will be okay in the end. i have become overwhelmed with stress and sadness. i don't know where to start...

Well, having a car has been nice. Although since I haven’t started my job I haven’t any money for gas so I am always on empty hoping not to break down. But anyhow, it’s nice having a way of transportation without relying on other people. Speaking of having a job, I start tomorrow at Polly’s Pies thanks to David.
My college classes have been going well. I absolutely love my Art History class. It is really interesting and I am learning a lot. I haven’t met any new people in class though, except today a boy came up and said hello…I didn’t even recognize him but he used to work with Adam. So it’s nice to know that now I have someone to talk to. There is a nice looking boy who sits next to me, Vincent Slone. I like the name.
My Psychology class is interesting as well, although it seems like I have a lot to study. There is going to be 6 exams and 6 pop quizzes. But since Adam is in the class with me I have a study buddy. So that will work out.
Not much more to say, I spent 100 dollars at Girl/Guyshop.com and I just received my stuff in the mail yesterday.
Oh and, Ranchoweb.com is not supporting files unless you pay and I’m not going to because I have no money, and so I can’t upload any pictures.
I’m going to stop now.

 So there's my car. I woke up around 12 and went to get Sebby, Zainab, and Adam. We drove down to Crystal Cove. sat on the rocks. it was beautiful. what a wonderful day. i took more pictures but they're on my digital camera which won't upload to the computer. damn virus. so these are the pictures i took with david's camera.
i don't feel too well right now. i came home early because i was tired and feeling sick. i feel like something is missing inside me. something i lost and now i keep trying to find it but fail. i am often sad and i think i am holding on to memories to much and not looking at reality.
i should start doing that.
