Things that changed forever/moments to remember from Boston
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 09:50 PM by yvr girl
I just got home. Where to begin...

1. Flying business class has completely ruined me for economy
2. I can no longer claim to have, "Just said no."
3. Vodka, tequila, whiskey, a joint and 'brownies' should NEVER be combined.
4. The friendliest lampposts are in Cambridge (we hugged)
5. To drive in Boston, you need to be brave, aggressive and able to honk your own horn.
6. DUers know how to party
7. I was in Will Pitt's bed (well on it) (He wasn't there.)
8. I loved Boston, and I can't wait to get back.


edit: I forgot the whiskey

I'm not going to make passes at married people. Expect for matcom, but actually he made the pass at me, so it's all good right? :shrug:

18. Are you looking for answers?
1. Flying business class has completely ruined me for economy

Once you've had a taste of the Good Life, it's hard to go back.


2. I can no longer claim to have, "Just said no."

You've graduated! Welcome to our world, corrupt and twisted though it may be.

3. Vodka, tequila, a joint and 'brownies' should NEVER be combined.

And why not?


4. The friendliest lampposts are in Cambridge (we hugged)

But did you kiss? You can't do that with a Cambridge lamppost in the winter, you know. And especially no tongue if it's below freezing.


5. To drive in Boston, you need to be brave, aggressive and able to honk your own horn.

And willing to get lost.


6. DUers know how to party

And party, and party, then party some more.


7. I was in Will Pitt's bed (well on it) (He wasn't there.)

If that's going to be your story, you know that I'll back you up on it.


8. I loved Boston, and I can't wait to get back.

And we can't wait to have you back. And that's the truth.

27. There was kissing...
Some caught on film, some not...

But to the best of my recollection, I did NOT kiss anything or anyone in Cambridge.

Fine. I admit it. I took advantage of Will Pitt - he's easily tricked.

Why not? I can't cope with the head spinning. I could have been in The Exorcist.

I get to come back? :bounce:

37. Of course you get to come back.
By the way it was tequila, not whiskey. If you're referring to the Pittathon, that is. If not, where WAS the whiskey, and why didn't you tell me about it right then, when I would have been able to do something about it?

38. I was not hurting from Saturday night - I paced myself
Friday was another story entirely. There WAS vodka, tequila, whiskey a joint, brownies and I just remembered a shooter!

39. No, no, my dear, the comment about kissing the lamppost
is because when it gets cold here in the winter (I know that "cold" and "winter" are alien concepts to you Vancouverites, damn you all), you can't put your lips, tongue, or other unprotected skin on anything metal.

It sticks. And ven oo yank oor kung off uh ampost, oo tock ike is or a cuuple of ays cuzza a missin skin.

40. I haven't always lived in Vancouver - I know about cold
It's just that I had no need to be friendly with lampposts after Pitt's party.

41. Oh, that's right, Saturday was the night
that you did NOT drink to excess. I should have remembered that; you were reliably steady on the wet walk to the taxi stand. Even those evil two-foot-high curbs didn't faze you.

Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 08:47 PM by Redstone
here in Connecticut were Connecticutters, Connecticutians, or what. Turns out they're neither of the above; they're Nutmeggers.

The Vicodin is kicking in, so I'm going to torture you by not explaining this oddity right now. Sorry to leave you hanging, but I gotta go. Will give you the background tomorrow if you're interested, or maybe someone else can do it tonight.

Yes, that's better now...

31. No, but I found it highly entertaining.
I arrived back in Vancouver at the height of rush hour. The road from the airport to my place is one of Vancouver's main arteries. The roads were full. I heard not one car horn.

65. Alright, here's mine.
Can't believe I missed this the first time around!

1. ALWAYS expect a bad return when coming back from a great trip.
2. Pacing yourself when drinking for 12 hours is the key.
3. My God you people walk alot!! (And Kathy did it in heels! Nuts!)
4. I will never, ever drive in Boston. EVER.
5. I looooove the city. So much that I'm coming back soon.
6. Freebird was a very awesome roommate.
7. sniffa and mrs. sniffa are two of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met in my life.
8. DUers throw one HELL of a party.
9. sniffa, matcom, Rev_Acts, and God only knows who else are all EXCELLENT kissers!
10. I'd lay on Will Pitt's bed with yvr and LynzM anyday of the week!

:D
