*yaaawns, stretches* mmnph.

I miss my Megs.

:/
Home again, after an amazingly wonderful few days with my dearest friend. *blows kisses all the way back to NYC*

Most of our time was spent just hanging out and talking and looking through photos and watching U2s and Monkees and things, and just being together.. which sounds so small but was the best thing ever. ^_________^

And Megs is the bestest cos she made me breakfast every morning. *G* Which was the sweetest ever. *GLOMPS*
And the French toast was GOOD! *laughs and hugs* Promise. ^_^ And I promise to make you pancakes when you come visit me.

Wednesday night we just kinda hung out cos I didn't get there 'til like afterdinner.. the flight out was *gorgeous* though, we were flying into NYC just as the sun started to set, the sun red and gold-lighting the clouds as we went through them, shining red and magenta onto the ocean... Thursday..we hung around and talked and watched U2s and randomness as usual. *giggles and hugs the Megs* Friday we baked. ^________^ Cos we were gonna go to the zoo but they were calling for thunderstorms - which of course never happened. (Or, rather, did, but it was at night and neither of us noticed in the least. *giggles*) So we stayed in and baked peanut butter cookies which came out mad good. (After a walk to the store to get supplies, which was fun cos it was gorgeous out and there're so many pretty houses around there and with trees and gardens and things, and I could tell Megs what all the flowers were. ^_^ And Megs got me a necklace from the vending machine at the store and it rocked. *g*) Then Megs' parents took us out to this awesome pasta place, where I blinked like a n00b at the menu cos I hadn't the faintest as to what pasta or sauce to get.. so Megs helped me cos she's a dear and it was good. ^_^ Got back to the apartment - we were staying with her parents cos Megs + Mike have only some of their furniture still, and Mike was being antisocial-angstboy again anyway and etc. But yeah so then we baked again and made the most incredible brownies EVER omfg. These things called for like 4 eggs and *one-friggin'-pound* of chocolate syrup. gheeeeeee. And then there was chocolate frosting to make with them on top of that, for which we used these posh lil chocolate chips that were the best *ever* (can't think of the name but it was stuff my mom suggested, some big long Italian name of chocolate-baking-stuff and omfg is it awesome).
So yeah, these brownies were mad good. ^_____________^
Saturday, Megs took me to the beach!!! ^__________^ It was so cool, we went down to Rockaway Beach, which was reallyreallynice.. (and good for me, cos that's the setting for part of one of my U2 fics, which I'd written based on descriptions Megs had given me..I had it pictured like *all* wrong, but I think what I wrote should still fit. ^_^) It just, uh, took us a bit to get there, cos first we had to get a shuttle instead of getting on the train at the first stop, then we got into the next stop and there were no trains going down to Rockaway that day like randomly, so we wound up taking another bus.. which, y'know, was fine, except I was like cliiinging to the bar running overhead so I didn't fall, cos there's probably an art to standing up on those things that I *definitely* have yet to learn. *giggles, shakes head*
But eventually we got there and it was good, there weren't too many people at all, so we staked out a spot on the sand and spread out our blanket and lay down and watched the waves and small children and took pictures. ^_^ Went down and waded into the water some, though it was mad cold at first.. But we - mostly Megs cos she rocks *G* - found a ton of awesome shells, which I brought home with me. ^_^ And we giggled at the seagulls cos they were being random and it was amusing. *g*

And mofo *HERE'S* the thunderstorm I've been waiting like weeks to run into! *laughs* Oh dear.. *saves this is a draft in case power cuts out cos I am NOT about to lose all this*

dude and not a MINUTE too soon! *laughs* saved, typed like another sentance, and the thunderstorm that's still rumbling away out there kicked out my power and my internet. close one, yo..

Meeeeegs I wish you were here to watch the storm with me.....

aaanyway yeah.. so after a few busses and a train along the way, we made it back to the apartment again and it was good. ^_^ watched some more things and hung about.. today we got up a little earlier'n we had been, and just talked and looked through photos again and spent time together before I had to go.. and then Sean, Megs' awesome brother (who's her "little baby brother" but he's a year older'n me *giggles*), came home from college so we hung out with him and he's mad fun. *g*
And he gave me giant pixy stix so he officially totally rocks. *giggles*

So finally we had to in fact leave, and her parents drove us to the airport, dropped us off and drove about to come pick Megs back up..cos she didn't wanna just *leave* me there (tho I managed alright before when Mike dropped me off last time..but we were like clinging to each other anyway so yeah).. around 9.30 by this point, it was nice cos like there was (comparatively) no-one there, and the guy at the ticket desk was cool and it was all good......until we had to say goodbye, which sucked terribly as always... so Megs left, I headed for the gates and got through with less difficulty than before - cos I knew to take off my shoes anyway and also cos I told them right-off to handcheck my camera and film and said there was like 800 speed in there (film + xrays = BAD, people.. supposedly it's ok if it's 400 speed or less, but I still don't trust it, and I had 800 in there anyway cos I'm a spazz like that).. so I wound up sitting down by the gate with like, nearly an hour before the flight left. wheeeee.
$1.90 for a friggin' bottle of water, I'm living far away from major cities like, forever. *giggles*
Sat down and curled up with my notebook and finally wrote, which I'd been meaning to do since like, the flight *down*..
Boarded and left a little early, which was good... luckily for me there was an R.E.M. concert on for me to watch, cos the Long Since Forgotten cd I'd been listening to was *not* getting me any farther from crying....
..not that there weren't plenty enough R.E.M. lyrics to kill me, but I made it alright, cos they're one of my bands and they comfort me.
So many thanks to Michael Stipe for getting me through.
And for just rocking anyway, this was actually like the first time I'd seen R.E.M. playing live, apart from music videos, so it was cool. (Some show from 2003, idk where.. Michael all had facepaint on which was a bit random but cool, and their stage set-up was like halfway between ZooTV and PopMart only smaller, but I adore them. <3 ^_^)

The airport back here was *utterly* deserted, as expected. *giggles* There was us from the flight and like three people waiting for people from the flight and like, a few employees. Like, 5. *giggles* Whee for the Rochester Int'l Airport. *g* But Mom and Matt were there to pick me up, so it was all good. 'Course by the time the bags came 'round, we were no longer anywhere near early, but whatever. Got back here just after midnight and emailed Megs and have been here since. *g*
Except for going out to stand in the storm for a minute, and going down to the basement to poke at the router and be like pounced by my cat. *giggles*

*yawns* and I guess I'm actually tired, which's good, cos if I'm tired enough I'll be able to fall asleep instead of just missing Megs.
