So today Samantha, Vyanh, Calvin and I went to DC to meet up with Evelina and Anna.
it was for some history project extra credit thing.
At 1 i went to Calvin's house and chilled there for a little
HIS DOG PAL IS SO COOL
it can stand up and punch/beg :D
then Samantha's dad picked us up and took us to Vienna Metro Station
Which we rode to DC
i brought calvin's little piggy stuffed animal it was so cool
so we missed our stop so we went all the way to the end
and then we jumped on the other orange train going back to Smithsonian
I left the Pig in the other train! when we were switching trains!
Guilt all over.
Samantha and Calvin knew i was going to jump off the train at the next stop
so i can go back and catch the next train which would have the pig.
They both grabbed me and i told them i wasn't going to get off here.
My arm restrained from moving for a whole stop.
the next stop i stood there and looked at the ceiling
as soon as the door open i counted to 5 and jumped off
Doors stay open for about 10 secs so i knew they wouldn't have enough time to catch me.
I stood outside the door waving goodbye
Samantha & Calvin used their feet to try to stop the door
but i kicked it back in and the train went on it's way.
Vyanh's face was like wth is he doing.
Vyanh called a moment after
and i told her to make sure Calvin doesn't leave or make sure they don't get off.
it would just cause us to get more mixed up.
they went ahead to the National Gallery of Art
i asked the guy if the next train was going to be the train we switched off of.
it was, but we sat in the first cargo.
so i didn't know if the train looped around to the other side so it would still be first
or if it continued forward then switched lanes making the first one last.
well the guy said it was going to be first cargo
i got on the first cargo.
no pig.
Luckily i asked the driver and he said that the cargo we were in was the last one.
he said at the next stop i would have 30 secs to sprint to the end of the metro train and get on.
Nice man.
I counted as the train stopped.
as the moment came closer.
where i would have to sprint to the end.
it came to a stop.
i heard the beep of the door.
my feet started to move.
i was gone.
I saw people's face watch as i ran.
the stares past by me in a instant.
then i was there.
in the last cargo.
the door closed.
the pig exactly where i left it.
a smile came across my face!
i got the pig back.
now i can relax as i sit by myself.
on a moving train through the depths of DC.
No music just me
the sound of the train shaking.
going though the tunnels and coming back up to the surface of land
i have finally arrived.
i got off the train and thought to myself
what do i do?
i'm not even 100% sure where the National Gallery of Art was!
i came out of the metro station.
the light shined on my eyes and it burned for a brief moment.
my eyes slowly adjusted and i saw the capitol.
I pointed to a direction where i had a good feeling the National Gallery of Art was.
i walked there
slowly free running
jumping on curbs
fences
trash cans
having that feather like footsteps
the empty footstep
no sound
i wondered for awhile
slowly figuring out where i was
then i found it
the National Gallery of Art.
Amazing
my instincts lead me to exactly where i needed to be.
i called Vyanh
they haven't got there yet
wtf!?
they were on the train before me!
it seems they past it and went to far.
Anna and Evelina were around too
Everyone had a group while i had to wonder alone in the cold world
poor hobo; he was sitting on the sidewalk
asking for change!
i felt so bad for him
i couldn't even stand looking at him
I wondered a little more knowing these hints.
Anna and Evelina were between the Tan Building and the Capitol
Vyanh and .etc were on 3rd st and Maryland
I soon found Anna and Evelina
then we told Vyanh and .etc to meet up with us at the tan building.
we finally were all united!
Everyone except Anna had to go the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art
Anna had to go to the Pompeii one across the street.
I couldn't let Anna go alone :O
but i really wanted to go with Vyanh and the others
But hanging out with Anna was fun ^^
We had such a hard time exploring the artistic building that got us lost in the lobby!
We were in the frekin Pompeii exibit for like 5 minutes
we walked around really fast
found some packets and brochures
and were on our way lol
we left the building heading to reunite wiht the others.
When i wonder i read everything.
Hoping it will later come in handy.
This bird almost hit Anna and I
it swoop in and it was like 1 foot away from our face.
Anyways so in the museum i read everything as usual and we went deep inside of it.
Then they said their location was something with an Jan
suddenley i remembered reading that sign close to where we came in.
Anna and I rushed up the steps into the exibit and there we found them
reunited thanks to my super skilllzzz :D
We went to the cafe when they finished their notes.
I totally spaced out there.
i lost track of time.
everything went by me.
Then Anna told me i needed to get my bag upstairs before they close.
I went up and i realized i spaced out for so long.
time flew by as i slowly couldn't recall what has happened
We walked back to the Metro station now.
got on the train and headed home.
Fruiy Pebbles?
Recess Puff?
still lost in my thoughts
that's all i thought about
it's been running though my mind all day.
I hope it's tired...lmao corny :D
RVBQ: Sarge:What's the jeep doin' in a ditch?
Griff:I can tell you what it's not doing, and what it's not doing is reenacting the greatest scene from the Dukes of Hazard ever!
