Road Trips and life
Mar. 16th, 2009 11:56 pmWent to Dallas this past weekend. An old friend of the family was getting married, so we went up for the wedding and to spend a day or two in the Dallas area.
We went up on Friday, and it rained the. whole. way. making our 3 hour trip more like 4 1/2. bleh. Pouring the whole way, bumper to bumper traffic, and people driving like assholes. I'm glad I wasn't in the driver's seat, I play navigator on family trips.
On friday, we went to a few Museums in Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum, mom was very impressed that we got to see real Picasso's and such. And then to the Amun Carter Museum for like 5 minutes because it was closing at 5 and we got there at 4:52.
And then it was off to our very nice hotel before we went to meet my aunt and uncle and cousin. My goodness, I forget when I don't see them, but these people are mental. I can't even start to tell you all how mental they are, but it's terrible.
Also they're super catholic/conservative - which hey, I love catholics, and I love conservatives, but man when they start to insinuate that I don't know what I want and think and believe in because I don't have enough "life experience" then man I start to get my panties in a bunch. Rawr.
I was so so so so so tempted to come out this weekend, because man their heads would have totally exploded - and it might have been more than worth it. But alas, I didn't.
And then there was the wedding on Saturday, it was super short and we stayed at the reception for like 20 minutes before we bailed - because old family friends are nice and all, but we didn't know anyone else there. So instead we ended up at some mall we found on the drive out there, and had dinner and then saw Slumdog Millionaire, which hey was really good.
And then Sunday, we checked out of our very nice hotel and then met up with the crazies again and went to the Dallas Museum of Modern Art, to see the King Tut exhibit. We had to wait until 3 to see it though so we browsed through the rest of the museum first. And man it was so much fun, I forgot how much I love real museums. They had this amazing room that made everything black and white ... it was mind boggling, and then a room that intensified colors and stuff it was just really neat, and man the art. I love art - I think I need to start painting again, been too long.
And then there was the King Tut exhibit. There were sooooooo many people there D:
but it was kind of need to see all this stuff that had been buried for so so long, was more than a little disappointed when we didn't actually get to see King Tut though, because wut about all the hype. I expected him to be there. But he didn't show up apparently.
And then we had a late lunch/early dinner with the crazies, and man I didn't think we were ever going to get out of there, and they found out I'm not of the Christian persuasion anymore during the course of our talking - and my cousin man he just thought that was the craziest thing ever, and made sure to tell me I was going to go to hell. Which hey, I can deal.
And finally we got on the road and made it back to the homestead.
It was a good weekend all in all - even with the crazies and the rain and the lots of driving.
I had a good weekend.
And on to the life stuff.
I am thinking about going to see a psychologist... is that the one? To talk about things, I've just been so depressed recently, getting into major funks, and they're lasting way to long in most cases, and I just ... I want to live my life, instead of being in a funk all the time. And if seeing a doctor is what it takes to get better then I guess I can try that.
updates to come I'm sure.
