You guys better be there! Only Kristy is excused, as no one wants to hash around some chick giving birth on trail. Although afterbirth would be an interesting form of shiggy...
Hash crash available for out of towners, or townies too drunk to get home. :)
Met with some people today, signed papers until my hand cramped, paid ALOT of cash, and I'm no longer a fugitive. They made lots of jokes about how popular I'd be at Lewisburg Penitentiary, which is right up the street from Sunbury, but I didn't really find it too amusing.
Other than that, I haven't done too much. Was really good to see DNA, but sucked to have to see her under such circumstances. I also had a chance to see my cousins Dani, Derek, Niki, and David, whom I hadn't seen in years. We all went to Front Street for some beers after the memorial service and it was a nice time.
My high school prom date's mom came to the funeral, and made a huge point of telling me that he's not married and is coming back to the area to visit this weekend. We never dated, were always good friends and I wouldn't mind hanging out with him and catching up, but it might be a bit too soon to start planning the wedding. Fucking small towns. I've been here for 3 days and I could give you guys a total run down on every guy under 50 who's not married. Every time I decline to meet someone they give me a strange look, like, "What's wrong with you?" I stopped by Runner's Roost today for some trail runners and the salesguy was like, "I remember when you were a freshman in high school and you ran a 22:17 over there at Mifflinburg..." Man, this entire town needs a hobby!
Tonight I'll be hanging out with the other side of the family. I can't believe all my little cousins are old enough to drink legally!! God I'm getting old!!!
That's pretty much it. Lots of movies, lots of sleeping, lots of breakfast, and lots of bothering Andy, Chris, Steph, and GLF. I don't really expect my social life to pick up much until I get to Allentown, which should be Sunday or Monday. I have lots of pics to post...hopefully soon!
Today is Thursday. Thursday is Jes and Joel day. :(
I'm home. 27 hours of flights and layovers. Ugh. And then 3 hours in the car from Philly to Sunbury. 3 hours in a car with my dad sort of felt like another 27. Almost didn't get out of Korea, as there was some problem with my visa and I had to sit in immigration FOREVER. They were threatening me with all kinds of fines, and being pretty nasty about it. I'm never in the mood for that kind of treatment, and especially at 6 a.m. so finally I was like, "Can you just tell me how much I need to pay to get the fuck out of this office and far away from you?" and then the dude was like, "Oh...it turns out you're exempt from the fines, you can go." ARGH! Made it to Tokyo and did some shopping, and then got hammered in a little bar with some dudes from L.A. and another dude from Long Island. Sobered up on the flight to Chicago just in time to deal with customs. Form after form, tons of questions...I was getting a bit nervous. Finally got out and had my first American beer.
And that's it. I'm home.
I'm bored.
