The good old US of A


So I’m in America! I can’t believe how awesome it is here. I mean, one long weekend did not fully demonstrate to me the awesomeness.

I flew from Glasgow airport at 10.15am on Saturday and arrived in Philadelphia at 12.30pm on Saturday…hahahahaha. It’s a total brain thing with the time difference. But it’s pretty cool. So anyway, I arrived, and then I had Chick-Fil-A waffles in the airport (which, btw, OMG SO TASTY). Then I got my connecting flight to St Louis, which was an hour late because there were two identical US Airways planes at adjacent gates and they put our luggage in the wrong one…wtf, airport…but we made up the time in the air and ended up only 20 minutes late. Also I spent the whole three hour flight talking to the guy next to me, who reminded me so much of Tim (but with a little bit of Jack-from-Peeved added in) that it was creepy. He’s doing a PhD in engineering :-) so that was fun.

When we got to St Louis I realised Danielle didn’t actually know anything beyond “I’m getting in around 6!” and then I was like *facepalm*. But she was sitting there and it was ALL GOOD. So then we drove (well, she drove. I sat and was like OMGSOHOTHERE!!!) to her house and dropped off my stuff, and we went to Imo’s for pizza (well she got pizza, I got toasted ravioli, which OMG SO GOOD. I mean really. I’ll definitely be able to go to Imo’s with SLAW now and just have the toasted ravioli. It’s amazing) and thennn we watched some Supernatural and then we went over to her friend Ben’s house. It was really pretty, like a showhome, you know, with the fancy kitchen and all - and Ben was so freaking awesome. He had an Y Tu Mama Tambien poster on his wall which was a brillant start XD and also a copy of Augusten Burrows’ memoir “Running With Scissors”. Not to mention the largest DVD collection I have EVER seen. Bar none.

So yeah, I met the mysterious Ben and then we drove back to Danielle’s and went to sleep.

Sunday we slept until 10ish then got up and went to Sonic for lunch that was actually more brunch. I got my first tater tots since Wrockstock and I was ridiculously happy about it XD Also, their lemon slushies are SO GOOD. Next we drove to Target where I got a US phone, something else I’m really happy about, and I bought a new pair of sunglasses because Danielle was like “Oh yeah, they’re awesome, you should totally get them!” So now I have three pairs here XD The new ones are pink and they’re really rad, though.

After that Michelle came over and we watched Ten Inch Hero, which is freaking AMAZING, really, and then some Supernatural (these girls are SPN obsessed, it’s pretty great, especially since they’re making me watch them and I’m really enjoying it XD) Then we went out for KFC and had a really random, hilarious conversation.

Yesterday, Danielle had to work and I basically stayed in all day getting people’s numbers and setting up Twitter and Facebook notifications for my phone. And then I discovered the Disney channel so I watched like five episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place, which is epic. And then Phineas and Ferb, which is also funny. And then even a little bit of Suite Life, which I’d been sure I wouldn’t watch. Drat XD Then we went and got McDonalds and then came back and ate it while watching Supernatural.

So today we’re at the SIUE campus, Danielle has a class and I’m squatting in the computer room, AIM-ing with Jess and trying to defend Twitter on a facebook status conversation. I got a text a little while ago saying “What t-shirt size do u wear? I have myrtles transparent shirt too big 4 me. U’re a sm girl, but w/big rack.” and I was like “Ok, random message from a number I don’t know talking about my rack. Uh huh?” but it turned out to be Lauren iSL hahaha. Which isn’t really that surprising XD so it’s all good. So that’s what we’ve done so far. Once Danielle’s done we’re going to apply for my social security number and then we’re going job hunting! And food will be involved somewhere, too. I had a smores pop-tart for breakfast and it was amazing XD

I’ve rambled enough for now XD I’ll catch you later :)
