Oldest Brother's Girlfriend, at 1am: Hey Thomas, want to come to Boston with me tomorrow?
Me: YES!
And to Boston I went! My work wouldn't mind the sudden disappearance, especially since I left a note in the company calendar:
Thomas is in Boston - I ain't coming to work, bitches!
I was essentially on my own for the 4 days. Oldest Brother's Girlfriend was there for a conference all day long, each day, so I spent my time wandering and seeing the sites alone. As with my previous trip to New York & Washington DC, I think it would be a lot more fun to write about the random and stereotypical things that I have learnt on this holiday.
On an unrelated note, I don't like saying "I was on vacation" or "I'm going on a holiday" because I feel like my normal life pretty much one giant vacation in itself, but anyway...
Here we go!
- Boston is filled with the crazies. So many wacky homeless (?) people.
- I should smile more, as one crazy person pointed. Especially with my hair, as he also pointed out.
- The only single guy buying entrance to an aquarium, whilst surrounded by families with young kids, makes me wonder if people think I'm a pedophile.
- Boston has an excess of uggoes, also known as ugly people. Oldest Brother's Girlfriend also really noticed that.
- An exception to the above rule is most people running in the parks along the river. All beautiful men run along the river, shirtless.
- I could live in the downtown Boston Public Library. It's like a castle.
- Provincetown (CapeCod) is possibly the gayest town ever. If the world would be reversed so that gays were 90-95% of the population and straights were 5-10%, all places would look like Provincetown.
- I'm in love with the sand dune landscape of Provincetown.
- Only in a super ultra gay town beach would you ever hear a 35 year old man exclaim loudly in the bitchiest voice:
"Argh, I have sand in my foreskin"
- Awkward looks were shared by all strangers, after the above comment was heard.
- There's something really cute about seeing two 50 year old women walk down the beach together, and one slides her hand in the other's so casually, and it remaining so normal.
- It's surprisingly easy to fall asleep behind a wooden crate, on the top floor of the hydrofoil boat, on the way back to Boston from Provincetown.
- It's fun to visit Harvard, whilst mocking it at the same time. This is accomplished by taking stupid photos of yourself with Harvard as a backdrop. Saying "OOOoohhh, Look at meee! I go to HAAAAAARVVAAAAAAAARD" also helps.
Too bad you can't see my eyes. It completes the photos.- "Pffft, you're just jealous you didn't go there!" Yes. Yes I am a bit.
