Day 93 - Jetsetting

Today I woke up in Chesapeake. Drove to Norfolk. Napped in Jacksonville. Spent the day in Ponte Vedra. Alright.

Day 92 - Chrysler, Susan

This morning we woke up and first thing I called Apple to figure out what is going on with Jenn’s computer. The first woman we talked to had a serious attitude problem, and was not listening to me whenever I explained the issue. I feel like she finally got frustrated when I was equally rude to me, as she hung up. We called back and got a different woman, who was very nice, but dumb as a brick. So in the end we figured nothing out.

We got dressed and went to the Chrysler. On the way we were hungry so we caved and went to McDonalds for a delicious happy meal. As we were leaving we both turned to throw away our trash, and sitting right there was the most hilarious yet adorable sight I have ever seen. A homeless looking black man, eating a vanilla ice cream cone. He stopped dead when we turned, and his face looked like he had been caught doing something wrong, yet to innocent at the same time. And there was ice cream on his mouth, in his beard, and on his nose. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I was laughing so hard I had to run outside and spit out the sip of soda I had taken before I turned and saw him. It was adorable.

We got to the museum and it was amazing. There was an Egyptian exhibit, amazing contemporary art, Japanese prints, and so much more. I loved the Chrysler.

Tonight Jenn and I went to Susan’s house for dinner. Ashley was supposed to come but she didn’t feel well. Susan and her daughters are so sweet. And I am really glad that Jenn gets along with them so well. Spending time with Jenn and her dad and Susan has made me realize how crappy my relationship with my dad is. Jenn and her dad are best friends, and Susan texts Jenn just to say hello. I didn’t even have my dad’s fiancé’s number until recently, and when I called her trying to find my dad she had no clue who I was, even after I said “Its Kate.” Ugh. Oh well.

Day 91 - Mall, Unpacking, Dinner

This morning we slept in entirely too long. Once we were up and dressed we went to TCC to meet with Jenn’s adviser. Everyone there was either black or crippled. It was really weird. If there was a white person, they were on crutches. Without fail. We were there for a few hours while Jenn took a placement test and met with an adviser who was of no help at all.

We went to the mall, had lunch and looked around for a bit. Mainly looked for friends. Fail.
Once we got back to her house we went to Target where Jenn bought the majority of the hangers they sold, then met Susan and her daughters for dinner with Jenn’s dad.

We came back to her Dad’s house and hung clothes and unpacked for 4 hours. Progress.

Day 90 - Norfolk, South of the Border

This morning I woke up at like 5:00. Which is very uncharacteristic. Jenn picked me up a bit later and we got all ready to drive up to Norfolk. First we had to go by Mike’s house so that she could get her charger and then back to her house to pick up a few things. We hit the road and I promptly fell asleep.

We drove until South of the border, where we got out and explored. I found the Charles Trippy CTFxC thing, and took a picture, feeling very lame as I did so. But whatever. We went into the little shops, and went to the top of the huge sombrero. It was fun. After that we got back in the car, got some lunch, and spent the rest of the drive listening to Disney music and whistling along until we were light headed. And then I fell asleep for a bit.

When I woke up we were in Jenn’s dad’s driveway, but neither he nor his girlfriend were around to let us in. He rents the back apartment to this girl named Ashley who is just a bit older than us, and she is really nice. She let us in and we hung out with her for a bit in her apartment and watched TV and talked about fun stuff to do up here.

Once Susan came over and unlocked the house, we spent a while unloading most of Jenn’s things out of her car. And now there is just a clusterfuck of stuff on her bedroom floor. We are going to bed in a minute.

Day 89 - Arlington, Evan

Today was a very lazy day. The only productive thing I did during the day was to take stuff to be embroidered in Arlington.

Tonight I hung out with Evan one last time. Our similarities are getting to be quite scary. What did I wear? White BDG pants, black BDG v-neck. What did he wear? Black pants. White BDG v-neck. It’s a problem. I have realized that each time we hang out we are dressed similarly. We just smoked hookah and talked about school and Pokémon and music. And it was nice. He goes back to school tomorrow morning, and I will be heading to Virginia to help Jenn get all moved in.

Day 88 - Mall, Rock Climbing, Jenn

Today was Ashley’s last day visiting. First off we went to the Y to go rock climbing, but there were camps going on. So instead we went to the town center to kill some time before going back. We went by Anthropologie so that she could return some stuff she bought that didn’t fit, and I returned the amazing plaid shirt I bought the other day since it was broken. Very sad. And of course they didn’t have my size so I settled for yet another BDG V-neck. I have a problem. I own almost every color.

We went back to the Y and went rock climbing for a few hours. Ashley is afraid of heights so it was fun trying to get her to push her limits and make it up to the top. She didn’t today, but maybe next time. SWEBOP goes every Friday, so we want to start getting more involved with that. I bruised the bone in my pinky finger the other night at the show when some guy hit me. And it has been uncomfortable even when moving it, but today it was in agony trying to hold on for dear life. Oh well.

After rock climbing I took her to the Loop for lunch, then we went to Peterbrooke so that she could buy some chocolate. We took the long way home so that Ashley could see some of the old houses in Avondale and old Ortega. On the way back Corbett called to go to lunch, but he just followed me home instead and hung out for a few minutes while Ashley packed. Ashley and I headed to the airport, and I dropped her off. I did pretty much nothing else all day. Just relaxed and hung around the house. Went with Jenn to Target and Zaxbys. The End.

Day 87 - Ponte Vedra, Kickbacks, 500 Days of Summer

We went out to Ponte Vedra and spent the day laying out by the pool, enjoying some margaritas. And of course getting sun burned. My face is pretty red, but Ashley has the most amazing sunglasses tan ever. It’s not bad at all, and it should fade by tomorrow, but you can see the line.

We met up with Jenn and took Ashley to Kickbacks. Then we went to see 500 Days of Summer in Orange Park. It was so good. Although it was a direct copy of Jenn’s life, so that was kind of weird.
