DC Trip

ok so
back in october 2021
my freshman year of high school
i went on a school trip to washington dc
and they werent lying
this trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
i made so many god damn memories during this stretch of 4 days
and i do not shut the fuck up about it
basically
the vibes were really memorable
had some really good times
saw some really cool things
oh and homosexuality
unfortunately, ive signed a verbal nda that makes me unable to share info on the last point
for more info, i direct you to contact me directly at 3800schoolbus@gmail.com (alt email)
i would direct you to a someindustries document but it has been replaced with filenotfound.png (i have the file but i dont show it very publicly)

from Tumblr:

so i was at best buy recycling a laptop and a phone and

1. i think i know the person who was checking us out (because you recycle electronics at the checkout)

2. they initially said there was a $30 fee for recycling laptops

2-A. i didnt see anything online about that

2-B. they looked at the laptop and then said "you're good"

3. ???

3-A. are they taking the laptop for themselves?

3-B. did they realize there isn't actually a $30 fee? (not saying there isnt)

3-C. did they recognize me?

3-D. were there bees nearby?

4. the laptop in question was an msi gaming laptop 

4-A. micro center said the motherboard was dead

4-A-A. i cannot back that claim up 

4-B. i removed the ssd

4-C. i removed the ram

4-D. do they know that?

5. the person in question may be DC Trip related (for those in the know aka literally only me)

we don't need to discuss how blueball and dc trip are related but im sure you can figure it out with context clues

not me vibing the fuck out while driving around in gta v, just calmly driving, no guns, no explosions, just following traffic rules and listening to the radio, imagining what it would be like to be there, on a cool night, up in the hills, seeing the skyline of the city surrounded by the amber glow of streetlights, just  having a good time

fuck im inventing a new dc trip experience nowhere near dc and one thats extra not real

i dont think ive ever fully explained why i dc trip so much

i would tell the story by now, but literally no one gives a shit, and i dont want to write several paragraphs if no ones even gonna read it

you know sounds for the supermarket and how its all bullshit? i found 16B (which provides [to me at least] a very calming and nostalgic and reflect on what has happened and just decompress kind of atmosphere) (actually called Outlook and is by Roger Webb) on the De Wolfe music website and through some snooping around found the music file itself, all neat and even with an album cover (Outlook by Roger Webb) 

i can relax

sit back

and remember the good ol days

which werent actually that good

but they happened

like 2020

and all that

and when the server was still so lively

and the dc trip

and all that

remember the times before now

despite the fact that i couldn't have listened to All The Same by Does It Offend You, Yeah? because it isn't on Spotify, it completely fits the dc trip vibe and i will mandela effect my way into remembering listening to it on the coach bus

it feels quite refreshing to be out in the mildly damp car dependent suburb in the morning but with a nice relatively clear sky

its just so (italicized blank space) outside and feels rather dc trip (it's an adjective now)

from Discord:

oh hey its the 1 year anniversary of the dc trip

expect nothing more from someone called "DC Trip Mentioner" 

a year ago we'd be on the bus somewhere near Pennsylvania and would continue to be on the bus for 7 more hours

pro tip: if you have a shitty bottled water like aquafina or dasani or nestle, just have it chilled beyond recognition and itll be "okay i guess", especially if it's the dc trip (foreshadowing maybe but probably not) and you're dehydrated as shit

shit forgot but like half an hour ago now but djdbidnrondodbdjin we were driving around the high school and freshman school which remind me of leaving on a coach bus at like 5 am to go to on dc trip

(brother, talking about his trip to the bowling alley with the rest [?] of the 6th grade [hey i did that in 6th grade too and some other stuff I think]) "it looked like a protest with a bunch of us standing on the side walk in a line in the middle of the day and marching" like bitch thats what the dc trip was like, a bunch of freshman in a line outside a mall at 9PM in the united states capitol holding a canada flag and chanting something about a 2044 presidency

ok so

this shit feels like dc trip 2

im sitting at a table

with 2 of my friends being together

and me sitting across the table

oh hey look on the tv its images from the dc trip

i think i see myself

(this applies to events that happened an hour ago, not right now)

fuckin

fuck

back to the hps lights, the hps lights in highway flood lights (big tall lights, usually at interchanges) is so good too

it reminds me of the dc trip

sitting on the coach bus driving along the interstate at 5:30 AM when its still pitch black outside

another nice thing is incandescent red flashing lights you see on radio towers or tall buildings

they're mostly all led nowadays

but the incandescent ones are so good

the fade in and out is unbelievably aesthetically pleasing

side note on the Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) soundtrack, i learned almost all the lyrics of one song from it while i had some free time on the DC trip at the Pentagon City Mall Fashion Centre At Pentagon city (thanks Simon Property Group) in Washington D.C.  Arlington, VA

[SomeExistite] - idk if the images in #irl-photos need to have me in them, but its also a lot of photos i want to share so ill just put them here

some photos from the school dc trip i went on back in October

[Geralt] - You are extremely good at taking pictures goddamn

[SomeExistite] - i can only post like 3 at a time and i have to scroll back down every time i go to post more

[Geralt] - Pffft

Discord moment

[SomeExistite]

[Geralt] - Golly those are beautiful

[SomeExistite] -

[Geralt] - Why is there so much interesting shit in DC

I mean I know why but still

[SomeExistite] - because america

also i really liked the dc trip, it went as well as it possibly could have for reasons im not allowed to mention

moving on

[Geralt] - I’m trying to pin down the vibe that message gives and I can’t

[SomeExistite] - i have made a verbal agreement with the 3 other people i was in a group with

[Geralt] - Verbal contracts are legally binding, fun fact

[SomeExistite] - there were also some great things involving a canadian flag, a group of freshman, and 9 PM outside the pentagon city mall

i have a video of the canadian flag thing

[Geralt] - This sounds like a hell of a story

[SomeExistite] - it sure is

just imagine a group of freshman students walking down the street at night holding a canadian flag (in the us capitol city) chanting something about 2044

[Geralt] - LMAO

[SomeExistite] - do you want to see the video?

[Geralt] - Yes I very much would

[SomeExistite] - i will work on getting that

[Geralt] - Sick

[SomeExistite] - since its definitely larger than the discord file size limit

[Geralt] - Anything is bigger than the discord file limit because god hates us all

[SomeExistite] - actually i still have your number so i can text it to you

[Geralt] - Oh sick 

...

[SomeExistite] - honestly the whole dc trip felt like a fever dream

getting there took a good 10 hours

[Geralt] - Gotta love 10 hour car rides

[SomeExistite] - no this was a school trip

we had coach buses

[Geralt] - Point stands, 10 hours in any vehicle is pure pain

[SomeExistite] - can confirm

i had to get up at 4 am

[Geralt] - Dear god

[SomeExistite] - and we still werent there by end of the school day

[Geralt] - Why does it take so long to get to DC from Ohio what in gods green earth

You cross like 1 state

[SomeExistite] - i blame pennsylvania

[Geralt] - Fuck Pennsylvania

Dumb state

[SomeExistite] - i came out to one of my friend on the first day there via pride flag on phone case

[Geralt] - Pffft

Based way to come out tbh

[SomeExistite] - i soon may or may not have found out that the 2 other people in my group (not the one i came out to) were also lgbt

[Geralt] - Yeah that happens sometimes

You think you’re the only LGBT person there and suddenly there’s like 15 other people and you’re very confused

[SomeExistite] - adding to the fever dream on the second night or something i dehydratedly told my friend i had a crush on one of the others in our group of 4

(fuck i hate typing on this slow laptop, why did my fast laptop have to bluescreen to death?)

[SomeExistite responding to earlier message by Geralt] - thats how i felt

[Geralt] - Because god hates us all

[SomeExistite] - the dc trip definitely went as well as it could

[Geralt] - It honestly sounds like everyone in your group took a lot of acid the first day and then rode out the rest of the trip

[SomeExistite] - and i got a hugged by one of the lgbt ones at the end of the trip :)

[Geralt] - Awww

[SomeExistite] - and now i crave more hugs

but have gotten no more :(

[Geralt] - ):

They probably have conventions for that or something

[SomeExistite] - i have a lot of stories about  the dc trip

[Geralt] - I can definitely tell

[SomeExistite] - like how it was supposed to happen at the beggining of 8th grade but covid made that not happen

[Geralt] - Let’s go Covid love Covid

[SomeExistite] - and how going on the trip was the only motivation i had to actually pass alll my classes at the end of 8th grade

now thinking about it theres a lot of stories that i have about the past year

[SomeExistite] - on my way to dc for the next 10 hours [edited, original said 8 hours]

[SomeExistite] - i... i have so many questions about everything at this point but it's 1 am so i cant get any of them answered until like 6 am

the longer i sit here the more questions i have

[Riftwynd] - what are the questions?

[SomeExistite] - all of them

im not entirely sure what happened

but i think i woke up and... now thinking about it the rest of the story probably isn't appropriate for... anywhere

i may have been dreaming

given the nature of the experience, it sounds like a dream i would have

but at the same time I have conflicting evidence that says it happened

maybe not what i think happened, but me waking up and hearing the things i heard likely happened

i dont even know what's real anymore

i cant believe anything right now since i was... it was... they were like...

im still in a bit of disbelief that im on the dc trip, and in dc no less
