October 6th, 2010 I woke up at 3am, had a 20 minute car ride, 1 hour long train ride, 8 minute subway ride, 10 minute walk; by which my shoulder was already starting to poke me, an 8 hour bus ride; for which the first 2 hours included me feeling dizzy and sick, a few more minutes of walking, another 10 minute subway ride, and then waiting. On the bus the lady sitting in front of me talked to herself the entire time. It was so rainy and windy outside that my umbrella broke and I ended up buying another one later in the day. My boots got so soaked that they started to drag as I walked and inevitably caused the blisters my feet now have. My coat, while amazing against wind, did nothing but soak in the rain, and my jeans ... well, I think we all know what happens to jeans with a little too much water. We were afraid that this guy rummaging through garbage cans was following us on our way to South Station so we picked up the pace, keeping in mind I already had a blister at that point. I tried Lobster Bisque soup for the first time and didn't really like it, spent most of the day cold, and you want to know what?

It was the best day of my life.

The Gorillaz concert was incredibly awesome, although I admit to not having taken any pictures (Sorry Nathan & Amberly!), because I was too busy enjoying myself the entire time. In truth, I think only about 10 pictures were taken throughout the entire day and they were all while we were sitting at the Library cafe while we were eating. The use of the big screen and the colors was phenomenal, and I loved how they worked the crowd. We went to 2 "fun" stores, one of which also sold "fun" chocolates and I got a banana shaped chocolate pop. *Snicker* The whole day was a lot of fun and it made so happy. I love it and I can't wait to do it again.

However, the real reason it was such a wonderful day was the company. I could have gotten twice as soaked, walked and waited ten times more, and I wouldn't care. Walking through the park, mistaking a canon for a globe, giggling about the numbered public alleys, trying to save the map, finding too many churches, thinking we found the library before actually finding it, getting the most thoughtful give I've ever received, realizing that I'm paler, totally rocking at sudoku, experiencing ninja skills in the corner by the water fountain, being cute in the rain, missing the right street because I was too distracted, trying amp for the first time, rocking out at the concert, leaving my scarf at the arena and doubling back to get it, not holding the railing on the subway back to the station, standing against the wall and being unbelievably happy, missing the train, almost falling asleep on the bench, walking for an hour with a little extra support, somehow taking twice as long of a break, wondering why the person was still standing in the same place, realizing it was a statue, getting in trouble with the rent-a-cop, missing the elevator, hearing the poem in person, and looking back twice before leaving, because I didn't want to go. Rawr.

I'm eternally thankful for how lucky I am. Gah. I didn't want to make this a sentimental post, because I don't feel like that would properly express how amazing of a day it really was, but I don't think I can help it!

Oh, yea. Work was wonderful too. Hah! More on that some other time. :)

Stay wonderful.

Peace, Love & Pancakes
