a little crazy in the head after too much road

So today I drove back from NC to STL - 13 hour drive by my lonesome. I complained a lot about Virginia because I've hated VA since college and my stupid fucking sorority's mandatory roadtrips (sorry those of you who live there; the area around DC is excepted from my blistering hate!) but it wasn't as bad as WV because toll roads I hate toll roads. Though driving the winding mountain roads probably kept me awake.

KY was unremarkable, IN was horrible and wouldn't end (this probably had to do with my promising myself I'd stop for dinner after I got out of the state and then it wouldn't end), and IL is boring and flat. MO is the same. The Midwest blows, you guys. :( I'm sorry, two years here and I still have no love for it - it doesn't help that I went to the beach when I was back in NC so now I'm even more *__________* at my home state.

Also, I like our license plate design best. :D

I tweeted randomly throughout the trip bitching about crosscountry roadtrips not being the same without Winchesters.

I am cheered and although I will hate driving for at least two days, I will go read some SPN/J2 porn and glee about how fucking adorable/precious/happy Jenny and Danny look at their wedding (tyty Kendra!). alksdghdkfj you guys, THEY WILL HAVE SUCH BEAUTIFUL BABIES. Look at their wide, wide smiles. I hope they are happy foreveeeerrr. Also, Jared was there and a grooomsman! SO CUTE, J2 HETEROSEXUAL LIFE PARTNERS/BFF. ♥♥ (Don't ask me about Jared/Gen because I will just sob to you about Sandy and it will be embarrassing for everyone.)

HE WAS A GROOMSMAN :O?! I totally couldn't spot him in the wedding party ;~; and it took me sooo long to find him hiding behind that pic of Danneel with the guests OTL

THEY WERE GROOMSMEN AT EACH OTHER'S WEDDINGS HOW CUTE IS THAT. :DDDDD Though Jared really managed to escape the camera despite being A GIANT.

[identity profile] mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
HE WAS A NINJA!!! It still took me forever to figure out which pic [livejournal.com profile] swingingstars was talking about!

[identity profile] mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
OMG!! THEY LOOK SOOOO GOOD!! Danneel made a gorgeous bride and Jensen made such a handsome groom! (lol at Danny and Jenny for nicknames.) ♥

And that fish monkey icon is SOOOOO adorbs!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
the fish-monkey icon is a kihae icon. :3 by [livejournal.com profile] conflate!

akdlghf I am so amused by calling them Jen and Dan since it makes them sound like their sexes are the opposite of what they are, hilarity. ♥ They are seriously so happy and gorgeous, yay!

[identity profile] mardigrasmaven.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That's just hilarity right there. Can you imagine the look on someone's face if they were like "Jen Ackles" and Jensen stood up? Or "Dan Ackles" (I'm assuming she took his last name here) and Danneel did? They'd be like O__O wtf. XD

Glad you got to MO, okay. Was wondering when you were heading back. :/ You know what I hate about IN? The ridiculous curving roads in Hoosier National Park, that have cliffs on either side...and the roads that are fucking 75 mph. It scares the crap out of me.

Muppet babies. :D

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, safely back but so tired. I was going to be productive today and start cleaning/preparing to move but ughhh it's rainy and I kind of just want to die.

I was on I-64W the entire time so I didn't even pass the curving roads, just straight and flat through souther IN for me. :| I got some fast curvy mountain roads in West Virginia though.

GOD DON'T REMIND ME ABOUT THE MUPPET BABIES, SOB. JENSEN AND DANNEEL WILL MAKE UP FOR THAT.

[identity profile] 2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I was on 80 (?) the last time I did that trip. It was horrifying. WV is awesome. Try driving it in the snow. T.,T Sucks balls.

MUPPET BABIES.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
oh god driving those awful roads with snow, what a nightmare.

Are you feeling any better?

Your icon reminds me - blind_go reveals are up so I can repost now! :D

[identity profile] 2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I think my favorite part of it was that I ran out of windshield wiper fluid partway through WV, and since it was snowing, all the cars were kicking up salty crap all over my windows. Visibility sucked.

Feel like ass. I kinda want to pull my electric blanket out of the attic right now.

:D

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
:( Feel better. I'd recommend tea but you...hate tea... So drink something warm and rest a lot!

[identity profile] 2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I like tea; I hate honey. Bleckies. But at the moment, that requires my navigating a flight of stairs, and my sense of balance is severely suspect, at the moment. And resting...um...not really happening right now. :(

Btw, I find it hilarious to chat on IM and through comments. I once was chatting on the phone, spamming Facebook, and chatting via gtalk with the same person, at the same time. Best part? All three mediums had a different topic of conversation.

UGH SERIOUSLY, EVERYTHING IN THE MIDWEST IS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Pennsylvania goes on forever maybe but at least it has stuff. I hope you find cool things to do somewhere other than IN... It'd be such a huge change from Toronto. :|

hee, I had to rely on the comments on that entry to find him - it's hilarious how everyone was asking though. He's in the 3rd to last photo in the bg with Jensen (Danneel's in front talking to a table of guests) and possibly also in the first photo where you can see him standing in the back (though mostly just his forehead shows).

Please do not judge my region of the country by its shitty southern and western extremes. :( Chicago is awesome and northern Michigan is beautiful. I demand that you reserve judgment until you've fully experienced both, and in particular visited Lake Michigan in the summer. Deal?

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
IS MICHIGAN PART OF THE MIDWEST? I always forget since it's so far north and not nearly as flat and boring as the rest of the Midwest. Also, I think I tend to not hate places that are by large bodies of water on principle because that automatically changes up the landscape and weather.

But Michigan by the lake in the summer sounds lovely. *__________*

[identity profile] halcyon-morn.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
See, that's funny, because I don't consider Missouri to be part of the Midwest. Anything south or west of Iowa is either Great Plains or the South, as far as I'm concerned. *shrugs*

And yes, it is. 8D

Also, why are you back in MO? What are you up to this summer?

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh that's true, the Midwest seems to be a very nebulously defined area - OH is the Midwest, but the Great Plains are too, for some people. Mostly I hate the Great Plains states then...so flat, so boring. :| The South I also quibble over defining, haha. There's Deep South (MS, AL, etc) but NC and VA still technically qualify as South. Oh US geography...

I'm here for the summer to do some volunteer legal work, hopefully get a paying part-time nonlegal job, and just...chill, I guess. Read books! :D

lmfao, from reading this entry, I have no idea where you passed through (or anything, for that matter), because I am illiterate when it comes to american states, especially when it's abbreviated ):. /rolls

wants to see your license plate design~~

and awwwww, their wedding photos! so so gorgeous (jensen's hair, laughs <3) HOW PRECIOUS, esp with jared there hehehe. ♥

and sobs, when you said fish, I thought you were going to link a donghae photo........

[identity profile] papered.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
also, I STILL CAN'T FIND JARED IN ANY OF THE PHOTOS despite him being a sasquatch.

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
hahahaha the photos are seriously a game of Finding Jared. he's in the 3rd to last photo in the bg with Jensen. He's also (reportedly) to be see in the first photo in the bg - or at least his forehead is...?

[identity profile] filterpaper.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
this comment is basically me, except i also add JENSEN WHY COULDN'T YOU SHAVE FOR YOUR WEDDING :( i know the stubble was probably on purpose and manly and all, but :(

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU CANADIANS JEEZ, JUDGES.

hahaha I was not super fond of his hair or stubble but he looked happy enough for me to overlook it. He is gorgeous regardless and Danneel probably agrees? :DDD

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
ALSO AT LEAST HIS FOREHEAD WILL NEVER BE AS LARGE AS JARED'S

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-05-20 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
north carolina, virginia, west virginia, kentucky, indiana, illinois, and missouri!

our plate design looks like this (http://www.american-number-plate.com/Editor/assets/North_Carolina_License_Plate.jpg), then with the number/letters over that. i like that it has a picture but not an obnoxious one! plus the color scheme~ and it's not boring~ /random

EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR WEDDINGS WAS PRECIOUS.

well, the fish picture i linked to is a cartoon rendering of kihae, so... :3

THE USA IS A BIG COUNTRY :( and I played music and stopped occasionally for food/bathroom/gas(petrol?) breaks!

looool British vocab! petrol~ uh, I have trouble staying awake for 13 hours without driving :| this may be why I can't drive yet.

/shows off her learnings, yo

Driving is great! I like having the freedom! I just don't like doing it for 13 hours straight asldkgfj. Too much of a good thing, I guess.

I'm glad that my area is free from your hate. ;P Isn't VA... north of NC? How did you end up passing through there? ... Jk, I just looked at a map.

hahaha I was following 40 to VA148 to 77 to 64 so. /shows you her entire itinerary
