Last night Katie and I went to Phantom Fright Nights at Kennywood, which is an amusement park in Pittsburgh for those of you who don't know. Well, from my apartment it should take about 20 minutes, at most, to get there, but because of traffic and the stupid road construction in Pittsburgh, it took us over an hour to get to the park. I thought I was being smart and going a back way to get there too. Well, as we were sitting in almost standstill traffic we were stuck behind this car of teenage boys who were obviously dancing around to music on the radio, so Katie and I started flipping through the radio to see if we could hear what they were so intently listening to, which we did. It was Paparazzi by Lady Gaga. They were bouncing around in the car and bobbing their heads and eventually swaying in sync with their arms around each other. It was a great distraction for about 20 minutes.
So after we had decided we had been in the car for 2 hours we realized we had only been driving for about a half an hour. We realized that our completely lack of time perception is going to be great from our nationwide road trip this summer. Just imagine when we have to drive through Texas for 24 straight hours... we're going to make it an hour in and think we're to New Mexico.
At least we can buy Lady Gaga's CD. That seemed to make the teenage boys' journey to Kennywood more than tolerable.
