Hi guys. Tonight I returned to Richmond from Salisbury, MD after spending the weekend with an ex boyfriend/valued beer pong associate whom I hadn't seen in 6 years. Salisbury is a cute town, though undeniably a town, and not a raging metropolis.
The weekend was fairly low-key, though thoroughly enjoyable. Friday night I arrived in Salisbury after a 5 and 1/2 hour drive gone sour due to my host's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad directions. Even my keen navigational abilities could not save me from spending over an hour combing the foreign streets of DC looking for Rt. 50 East. Finally I paid a bum a few bucks for what were probably the most concise, accurate, and understandable directions I've ever received. Thank you Mr. DC Bum. I owe you about 5 more bucks.
Upon arrival at my unnamed ex's house (We'll just call him Floyd to protect his top-secret identity), I drank an illegal beer and met Floyd's roommates, Tucker and Heidi (names also changed to protect identity). Floyd looked exactly the same, and his hilarity appeared to be in tact as well. We went to a small gathering off people that night, and I later discovered that this and this do not work together to give one a long, energetic night. So, I crashed pretty early. Fun fact of the night : Floyd brought a lunchable to the party. Who does that? Unfun fact of the night: Floyd fed me a Chicken McNugget in my tipsy state. I have been on an all vegetarian diet for three weeks. Damnit.
The next day was spent sitting around watching Floyd and Heidi play Madden football for hours on end, and relaxing. Floyd took me out for food at the lovely Lighthouse Diner, which unfortunately is so elite and upscale I can't find a link for it. You know a place is classy when there's a skin 1/8 inch thick on your "crab soup", and you are forced to use a plastic cole-slaw ramekin as an ashtray because your waitress is too busy ignoring her other three tables to consider not ignoring yours.
That night I learned how to play poker, and proceeded to lose, of course. Still, there comes a point in every girl's life where, well, it's just NOT O.K. to not know how to play poker anymore. So, now I know, and am that much cooler for knowing.
After that, we played beerpong the over-cautious Salisbury way, and my skills were naked as day for everyone to fawn over. Sure, Floyd made a few shots, but on the whole, I was victorious. Right now Floyd is wishing he had a membership just so he could make one little teeny tiny comment to remove his balls from my king fu grip. Mwahahahaha! Fun fact of the night: The people in Salisbury have never heard of Donnie Darko. It comes to their video store on MARCH 17th. The movie was made in 2001. Unfun fact of the night: Madden Football and the terrible dream I had which included enormous worms eating both of my cats from the inside out.
Anyway, today we ate Mexican for lunch and then I headed back to Richmond, making it into town at in exactly 4 hours. Poe kept instant messaging me in DC rush hour traffic, and of course I continued to respond, potentially causing hundreds of unreported accidents. I just rule like that. And now, I must go do something with the rest of my night. I just took my vitamins and I feel energized.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Yeah, fuck all of you.
