1) Shocking!
My friend Tripp convinced me to meet him at a bar in Old Town last night. At one point, acting crazy (as usual), he was pretending to…errmmm…grab my chest. (Pretending!) Just as a buttoned-up looking older lady was walking by, I slapped his hand and said loudly, “Don’t touch my boob!” According to Tripp (the lady was behind me at the time), the look on her face was priceless. Shocked, jaw dropped, the whole deal. Luckily for him, she decided not to come to my rescue.
2) I was bummed
Remember how excited I was at the thought of watching elephants walk down the streets of D.C.? Well, apparently those crazy creatures walk a lot faster than I thought. Yes, that’s right — even though I knew they were coming, and I set a reminder for myself, and I knew exactly what time the parade was starting — I missed them! I thought it would take longer for them to reach the Verizon Center than it actually did, so by the time I got there they were already inside.
3) Random Twitter
Since I’ve started using Twitter again on a pretty regular basis, I thought I’d share some of the highlights from the past week for my non-Twitter followers:
3/19: I saw a non-stop flight deal from D.C. to Moscow for only $440 round trip. I’d love to go, but I’ve been advised not to go by myself — and I’d really prefer to make a trip like that with someone else anyway. So unless a random travel volunteer/partner steps forward, I guess that’s out…
3/18: A co-worker asked me if I’d like to join an amateur soccer team. The only problem (in addition to the fact that I’ve never played soccer in my life)? The games are played on Saturday nights. My response to him was: “Hello, I’m single and I DATE. Saturday night = no.”
3/17: I’m hoping to take a trip to Charleston, SC to see a friend of mine sometime in the next few weeks. Before that, though, I’m pretty sure I’ll be taking a weekend trip to Philadelphia with my friend J.J. Even though I don’t live far from Philly, I’ve never been — I’ve been wanting to visit for a long time, so I hope it works out.
3/17: I was introduced to the term “malicious wounding.” In an attempt to defend himself, my almost-21-year-old brother ended up breaking the finger of this guy he knows (long story). The guy pressed charges and sent cops to pick up my brother in the middle of the night, which means my brother spent the night in jail before he was released. What drama!
Happy weekend, everyone!

If I had vacation, I’d go to Russia with you. Just want to make that clear. Maybe someday I won’t work at a summer camp all day every day all summer.
I’d love to go to Russia! Let me know if you are ever in the Atlanta area, Zandria. I’d love to meet you, and I’m sure as hell going to let you know if I’m ever in DC/Alexandria area. Have a great weekend!
Unsolicited advice alert: you should totally book the trip to Russia. Why is someone telling you not to go alone? I’ve travelled to many countries alone, including remote and third-world places. I’ve been nervous before going, but it has always worked out brilliantly and I have many new friends from those trips. I’ve never had any trouble and I’ve always met people who were looking out for me. I also bet that you can find a land-only tour package which will allow you to meet some other travellers and have a structured environment for a few days. Go! Do it now while you have the spirit and energy and nothing to hold you back! This will bust you out of your self-proclaimed rut big-time.
When you go to Charleston let me know, I know that city well.
do you get those alerts from travelzoo? like the top 20 deals of the week? if you don’t, you should. i’ve never been much of a traveler, but when i started getting those and saw that trips abroad can be really cheap, i started planning trips i haven’t taken but would like to someday. and the deals in those alerts are AWESOME.
Philadelphia is a great exploring city. I recommend making your way to the Art Museum and having dinner at this excellent little crepe restaurant called Beau Monde 624 S 6th St

It’s in the Bella Vista neighborhood, which is also great for strolling. Also if you go up on the first friday of the month, all of the galleries in Old City are opened and it’s a fun party.
aw that stinks you missed the elephants. but that still sounds like it would have been fun.
I LOVE THE WORD BOOB.
lol about the elephants!! the same thing happened to me!! i set a reminder too and then i got a notification from alert dc that the parade was over.. like 10mins later! or something crazy!
Russia sounds awesome but I’m going to Key West in less than 2 weeks so that’s out for me right now. I’m thinking it’s really cold there too.
Hope you and your boobs have a great weekend :)
