Exiciting night last night. It all started when I was sitting in my swivel chair chatting on AIM with Julie. We decided that we should do something fun so we began brainstorming. I went to her house and we narrowed our list down to five things: 1) Go to Boston 2) Go to a movie 3) Eat 4) Do nothing. Well we ended up deciding that we were going to go to Boston. We called a few people and told them to meet us at the Woodland T-stop. Julie and I met Jessica at the stop. We waited about ten minutes for Brittany and Meredith to arrive. Trains went by, people came and left, and still no Brittany or Meredith. We began pondering about what could have happened to them when Jessica says "Wait! Is that them?" pointing behind us. We turn around to see Meredith and Brittany standing inside one of the trains. I stood for a moment confused and confuddled. They flung their arms frantically waving us on but there was no way to get on the train without running in front of it. Suddenly it started pulling away. Meredith put her hand over her mouth in shock. I reached out my arms calling "nooooooo.....nooooo." Jessica started laughing and Julie stood trying to comprehend what just happened. Julie and I sprinted after the train a little ways but then we realized we were simply not fast enough to catch up and even if we were how would we get on?...climb through a window?...stand in front of the train and tell it to stop...it was useless.
How did they get on that train without us knowing!? We were right at the stop...we saw every car that went by. Had they just snuck on the back way? We didn't know what to do. We thought, and thought....till our thinkers were sore and still no explanation. Finally Julie proposed we wait for a few trains to go by in case they come back and then if they didn't we'd ride a train to the next station. We waited and laughed a bit about how weird this all was. No sign of Brittany and Meredith so we got on a train for Boston. When the train pulled in at the next station we saw them standing at the stop. YAY! They got on and told us that they had gone to the wrong t-stop and rode the train to Woodland to meet us. That was okay, but it would have made things less stressful if they had gotten off at Woodland and not assumed Julie Jessica and I would risk our lives to cross the tracks and board the train. But hey, everything turned out okay.
When we arrived we went to the enchanted village. Julie and I were so excited to see the little mechanical Christmas people that we could hardly contain ourselves. Meredith, however, was not too happy to be seen in the enchanted village...since we were 16 and all. Well I know I had a jolly time. Later on, we frolicked towards Fannel Hall. We skipped a while, then I did a dance and sung a song. Brittany and I raced each other down the stone stairs toward the street. The evening was fairly uneventful until we got proposed to.
We were walking along minding our own business when an older man of about 60 leans towards us. "Excuse me, would any of you ladies like to marry me for an hour...just an hour, then I'll file for an annulment." We sped up a little and passed him. We were all a bit scared with the exception of Julie who had a big smile on her face. When we were about a block away from him Julie clapped her hands together with glee and announced "Guys! We just got proposed to!!" She always looks on the bright side of things.
After we went to Bath and Body works and exfoliated we all went outside to the quad. Meredith says under her breath..."THAT GUY IS SOOO HOTT!" We looked over to where Meredith was pointing. Meredith then announces "If one of you dares me, I'll go over and talk to him." Ummm....well I guess she wants one of us to dare her. We looked at each other and Brittany shrugged her shoulders and said "Okay go talk to him." Meredith said she was going to get his name. She strode off towards the hot dude. She got about half way there when we heard a thud. I turn around to see Meredith laying on the ground. What the hell happened? She stood up, brushed herself off and came back to us. Well, if thats what she means by talking to people then heck I talk to people all the time. She said her shoes weren't good for walking. I asked "so thats it, you're not going to talk to him?" She said "no, why don't one of you do it?" I said "I'll go with you." Meredith agreed and we walked over to him. He worked in one of the stores. We got into the store and about five meters from him when Meredith stops. "I don't want to." "Fine", I replied. She told me to do it so I went over to him. He was walking along the wall looking over some of the stores merchandise. I stood in his path and said "excuse me, we were just wondering what your name was." He gave me a funny look and said "My name is Josh." I smiled and said "hi, my name is Maegan and that is Meredith." Meredith waved from a distance. Then Meredith said from across the room "nice to meet you." We walked out and announce that his name was Josh and we even got his number which was 1-800-hottguy. I wonder if thats a real number...hmm
