what a weekend.
wanna hear about it? i knew you did.
yesterday i rolled out of bed with a quasi-hangover (enough not to go to work, but not enough to be down for the count) at about one. having missed lunch, i decided to run out to bojangles. once i had gotten there, i thought i might as well keep going. so, i went to tennessee. the drive was pretty breathtaking. through mountains and valleys and i crossed the french broad three times. i saw some signs for pigeon forge and i thought to myself "i know what's in pigeon forge!" so, i went to DOLLYWOOD! i didn't think i was gonna make it, but then there it was, in all its glory. if there had been any clouds, they would have parted.
being a poor, humble college student, i staked out the entrance and sneaked in, peering around corners in true superspy fashion. man, i rode the thunderhead, daredevil falls, blazing fury, the tennessee twister. i saw the moscow circus and real, live bald eagles and i ate some delicious strawberry peach ice cream concoction. plus, i spent like half an hour just roaming around the dolly parton museum. i love her so much. i wanted to take all those pictures and crazy outfits right home with me.
then it was getting to be time to go home, but i had to ride the dollywood express before i left. man, i rue the day. that thing has one of those old school engines that blows smoke out of the top and i got this microscopic piece of soot in my eye. so i couldn't see anything. i stumbled to the first aid station and they got all of their top dollywood personnel to poke around in my eye, but they couldn't find that sucker. so, i drove back to asheville with one good eye (it was a lot like being intoxicated) and when i finally got here at ten, two of my girlfriends were sitting in the hall and they insisted on taking me to the emergency room after a good 15 minutes of laughing at the ridiculousness of it. so, i spent 2 hours at the hospital last night, but they got that stupid thing out. so, now i just have superficial scratches on my cornea which require that i walk around with antibiotic goop dripping out of my eye for two days. yes.
so, bojangles, tennessee, dollywood, soot in eye, reckless driving, emergency room, antibiotic goop.
all in all, it was a hell of a good weekend.

HAAA HAAAA, Sneaking into Dollyworld! You are my hero!!!! I laughed my ass off reading your post! I've done the same drive just out of boredom, but found myself wandering aimlessly around pigeon forge instead of sneaking into dollyworld. That's a hell of a drive too with one eye leaking tears all the way home! Thanks for the laugh!
