and then... (aka how i spent my seattle vacation)

Tom: Tell me a REAL STORY!
Callie: haha, kay.
got there thursday night, lucas and drew picked me up, then we went over to drew's bro's house (tyler) where he and his gf made us enchiladas. then we watched the office.
drove up to bellingham that night and went to bed. friday... well, i don't really remember what happened friday morning. but friday evening drew and i went to a restaurant where they have the grill and cook your food in front of you
that was fun
and tasty!
then we went to a martini bar with bobbi, drew's roommie
i had a really tasty martini, and i decided that i need to go out for martinis more often
oh wait! hah, i remember the rest of that day
i went to work and school with drew
even got to go to a class and listen to a few of his peers give lectures on technology-related subjects.
then we went to the mall, where drew bought me a pretty dress for the wedding we were going to.
then saturday was the wedding. in the morning we went to... somewhere? then to a park on the water where we walked the boardwalk for a little while
then went home to get ready for weddingness
the wedding was in seattle on a boat. it was really pretty, and pretty fun! open bar, really tasty dinner, music and dancing and lots of cool people
i made a few friends! i like when cool girls think i'm cool.
Tom: rad
Callie: then sunday, well, i can skip sunday right?
since it's all detailed elsewhere
Tom: sure if sunday had no details
Callie: what? i told all about sunday. i could copy and paste, if you want :P
Tom: why'd you say just now that you'd skip sunday then?
Callie: that day we went to ihop for breakfast, then lucas got into town and we went to a play, "And Then There Was One" (comedy/satire/murder-mystery). After that we went frolfing (aka disc golfing), then to an ice cream parlor where i tried rose-flavored ice cream, and i managed to wear about half of the treat. apparently i've forgotten how to eat fun things. by this point it was dinner time, so we went to some bar/restaurant place and had taaaasssty burgers. then back to drew's place, watched iron man, then lucas drove me down to seattle. i promptly passed out.
Tom: very nice
Callie: the rose ice cream was pretty good!
they had other cool/weird flavors too
Tom: sounds really interesting
Callie: like vanilla black pepper
Tom: huh
Callie: k, then monday i was in seattle again. me n lucas went to his school and he gave me a tour of the campus. it's beautiful. it made me want to go back to school.
in the common square they had sidewalk chalk, so we colored for a lil while on the bricks
i made a dragon
2 dragons
a bigger one, and a cooler one
Tom: nice
Callie: then we happened upon a pretty cool art gallery. it claimed to be the coolest art gallery in seattle, so of course we had to stop in.
and yeah, it was pretty cool. i wanted lots of the pieces in there.
then went to a chocolate factory, where i had an earl grey truffle, and a burnt sugar truffle. both were tremendously delicious!
Tom: wow
Callie: then we walked down to the canal where we ate our chocolates.
Tom: Earl Grey truffles are delicious
Callie: talked of renting a canoe
they really are!
ended up going to a couple of parks instead. the first one was overlooking the water, with downtown in the distance
oh, that's where the picture i sent you was from, btw
Tom: oh okay
Callie: then we went to a park in the middle of the city, but it's in a valley with lots of trees, so it feels like you're in the wilderness since you can't see or hear the city
then i caught my train home!
the end

so did i effectively bore you to death with my seattle story? 'cause that's why i don't tell stories. i'm not the greatest at making them sound interesting. i have a more simplistic view on storylines.
