creatures from the trees

i’m in washington dc. and i’m in mourning for the yankees. what the fuck. who is up 3-0 and loses the ALCS to the motherfucking red sox? i mean. christ. who DOES that? the yankees definitely should not have done that. i’m still pretty much in shock about the whole ordeal really. i mean i understand that some days the yankees have to lose by why 4 days in a row. and why to the red sox. and just why. the yankees should be in the world series tonight instead of the damn red sox and the cardinals. what the fuck? at least i could’ve cheered for the ‘stros. but i can’t cheer for the cards. except i really have no choice. fuckers.

other than the loss washington dc has been great. i got to see erik a few nights and that was a lot of fun. his parents are in town now for parents weekend though so i don’t really get to hang out with him for the rest of the weekend except for maybe before i leave on sunday. i’m not sure how that’s going to work out though. he’s a cool kid.

the death cab for cutie show is tonight and i’m still not sure if i’m going. i lost my purse (it got returned though, but like after i was at the airport) so i don’t really have much by way of id. i mean my student id which means that i can fly but i don’t have any other id. so that’s lame. and my creditcard/checkcard was in there and i think i need that to willcall my tickets. i don’t really know. so i’m going to see what i can do and if it works out then i’m going to the show and if it doesn’t work out then i’m not going to the show. i’m really happy that its so late because that means i keep the rest of my day/evening.

i went to the holocaust museum on thursday. and the natural history museum. the holocaust museum is so powerful though. its just absolutely insane. i can’t really put it into words. they have a “Deadly Medicine” exhbit about all the eugencis shit the nazis did and it was really terrifying. like that’s probably the most unsettling thing there. but there was this woman there with her children and she was explaining to them why it was so bad that the nazis did the eugenics experiments and tried to create a master race. that was so cool. i think the world would be so much better off if parents would eloquently explain the failures in our history.

the dinosaurs were a nice break from depressing things.

yesterday i went to RAINN to talk about a campus project for washburn. i’m so excited about it now. i have a list of speakers i want to try to bring to campus and a bunch of awesome outreach ideas. probablyf or april but theres no reason we can’t start planning now. its just amazingness.

i tripped shrooms last night for the first time. it was insane. i was with dan and osh and pat was around but pat wasn’t tripping. and dave was in the apartment but trying to read. so we tripped and then we went for a walk around dc at like 10ish and got back eventually and stayed around here then we went to this park and i seesawed with pat. (on whom i had a crush since like earlier that afternoon). and then we started to walk back to the apartments and dan was just like standing by this tree just staring at it. so i went and stood by said tree and completely blacked out. theres just all this time that’s like ad ream and i only remember bits and pieces. it was completely crazy. so i basically regained conciousness when we got back up the stairs. and i remember parts of the stair walking but it was like 2 flights to get here and we went up 6-8 flights cos i dont’ know if we came in on the ground or not. i really don’t have any idea where that time went. after that experience i stuck around here so i could come down somewhere comfortable. pat and i ended up crashed on the floor for a while and i was just completely out of my head. or in my head. it was like there were tons of colors and i understood things and i could time travel. i dont’ know how i explain that one. but if i talked about or thought about something that had happened in the past i could remember every detail. it was absolutely phenomenal. but kinda creepy. and everything seemed so liquidy and far away. i don’t know how to explain it really. but it was pretty cool. so then pat and i made out and i was tripping to much to really understand it. which is unfortunate because i think i would’ve really liked to kiss him in real life. growl.
