exsequarUpdate on my real life shenanigans! I spent Wednesday with my friend Rob and we had an AWESOME time. He lives on the Jersey shore, way down on the south tip (Cape May and Stone Harbor, for anyone who knows the area) and the beaches down there are so nice. We had a 95 degree day and we went KAYAKING IN THE OCEAN \o/ It was so much FUN. I was kind of scared at first, but I sucked it up and paddled out there like a pro, hee. I got flipped several times by the waves, but I managed to catch some fun rides! The most fun was just kinda goofin around out there, the kayaks were so fun to be in and it was such a gorgeous day to be in the ocean. My biceps are still feeling it, hee, and I've got purple bruises all over my shins from the boat bumping into them, but it was totally worth it. We had a blast.
Then we saw Bourne Ultimatum on the BEACH! They had a huge inflatable screen and you just sat in beach chairs on the sand and it was amazing. There was a lovely breeze off the ocean and I played with the sand with my feet the whole time :D And the movie was INCREDIBLE, oh my god. I never had a super strong reaction to the first two (I don't even think I've seen the whole of Supremacy) but this was just GREAT. It felt really human and grounded and I followed it really easily, understanding who everyone was and their motivations and what was going on, and I really appreciated that. Plus? Matt Damon is hot and kicks ass \o/ Win! Yay! Definitely go see it.
THEN we walked around on the boardwalk, rode an old rattling wooden rollercoaster, peeked inside an awesome music poster and tshirt store which was OUT of Panic! posters, thank god, or he would have had to drag me away. There was lots of Fall Out Boy though, and a bit of whimpering on my part, but I managed to stay strong *g*
All in all it was a super fun visit, and I'm so glad I went. He's one of my two best friends at college and I'm really going to miss him while I'm in Ireland. This was like our last hurrah before I jet away! It's a really great memory to have with him though, so yay for that.
Then I came home! Four hours up the Garden State Parkway = about 10 dollars, including the Tappan Zee Bridge toll. I have zero change left, haha. But the drive was fine (if HOT, gah) and now I'm home! With my daddy, yay! My brother is being something of a dick and I already want to strangle him, but whatever, par for the course.
Tomorrow I set out AGAIN. We're driving up to Michigan (10 hour drive!) to chill with various familial types. I'm SO SO excited to see my cousins again, the ones that I lived with last summer. I've missed them! So that's exciting, if a bit overwhelming after all my traveling!
On the fandom side of things, I've just been reading lots of super fun Panic! fic. I don't think they could be any cuter if they TRIED. Oh boys. There's also the adorable virgin fest vids and pics and yep, still super fabulous! ♥ Also, I GOT MY METALLICAR TSHIRT! I ordered it from Glarkware aaages ago and it arrived while I was in Lancaster. It's black and pretty and the Metallicar has one of her headlights busted like in the pilot and it's AWESOME. Yaye!
Well that's enough rambling from me! Off to finish organizing packing, which is SO HARD when things you want are scattered through your own car in boxes and bags *facepalm*
