It's Hugalicious

Sunday August 13, 2006 at the Cambridgeside Galleria, MA. Amita, Geena, Hye-Jung and I had our own little reunion.

It took a while to get together, all the stress from planning, and then getting there and not knowing where anyone is, but once we all got together it was worth it.

We all met up in front of KB Toys. The first thing we did was go find the gumball machines in front of Border's, on Amita's request.
Amita: Turn all the knobs. I know one of them is broken.
Everone is turning all the knobs
Amita: That guys shirt says, "Jesus hates a Yankees fan."
Kingston: My hero!
Amita: AHHH! He didn't pay for that gum. I swear he didn't... He is Jesus.
Kingston: See Jesus hates Yankee fans.

We came by a massage chair.
Amita: It's $1 a minute.
Kingston: TWO minutes.
Amita: Let's find GNC they have a assage chair.
She nver did find a massage chair.

Once that didn't work we just started wandering. Then we saw it... the kiddie rides.
Amita: Look rides!
Kingston: You want to steal from the kid's now?
Hye-Jung: It's Bob the Builder.
Amita: Ohh! It's Bob the...ummm...contractor?
Hye-Jung: Bob the Builder.
Everyone got on the little race car
Geena: We need to find some friendly people to take a picture for us. Or they might steal the camera.
Amita: Teenagers are definitely not friendly.
An elderly women is closing shop
Geena: Excuse me, would you mind taking a picture for us?
What I expected
Women: Only one person on the ride at a time. I'll call security.
What really happened
Women: You're gonna love it.
Everyone: Thank you!
Geena: I thought the security guard would tell us to get off.
Kingston: Me too.
Geena: Security guards are mean.
Amita: He's right over there.
Geena: Quickly!

Once again we started wandering. We decided to find a new form of fun.
Amita: Look its Jesus again.
Kingston: Jesus!
Geena: We're not really going into stores, let's do dares.
Amita: Ohhh, go into the sleep number store and lie down on the bed.
Kingston: Or, squeeze the pillow.
Geena walks in and out, Hye-Jung actually lies down
Amita: Try on some men's clothes.
Geena: That's just causing trouble.
Amita: I guess so. Oh look a directery, this mall is to hugealicious.
Geena: You are here.
Kingston: That lady's eyes are still following us.
Hye-Jung: The floor is so soft.
Amita: We're as far away from the food court as possible.
Kingston: It's right down there.
Amita: Ohhhh!

We went down to the food court and got some free samples.
Geena: Hi my name is Geena what's yours.
Woman behind the counter: Thai.
Geena: Cool your name is Thai and you work at Thai food.
Kingston: I want gum.
Amita: Me too.
Amita: Extra lasts quite long, but the flavors here are not that appealing.
Kingston: Indeed, and the selection of Trident leaves something to be yearned for. I'll just get Orbit.
Amita: Laffy taffy and Orbit.

Back to the dares. We came upon this sports store. And it was totally anti-Yankee.
Amita: I dare you to shout, "I love Yankees."
Geena: YANKEES SUCK!
Hye-Jung: Yankees, Yankees, I love the Yankees.
Kingston: What would Jesus say?
This was after I found out that the Red Sox had won and the Yankees had lost. As it should be.

The elevator. We were going to meet new people.
Geena: Let's go on the elevato so we can meet people.
But while we were waiting for it to arrive we kind of scared off the only other person.

We went to Brookeston, but time was running out.
Geena's phone rings
Geena: Hi.
Geena: I think I'm on the third floor.(we were on the first)
Geena: Ok, but I might get lost. Bye.
Kingston: Subtle, oh so subtle.

On our way to drop Geena off at the food court we started shouting random names.
Amita: What's a common name... John.
Kingston: EWW!
Amita: I said common not good.
Kingston: EDGAR!
Geena: YOLANDA!
Amita: YOLANDA, WHERE ARE YOU! WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL DAY!
Yolanda: Yes?
Amita: We were shouting Miranda not Yolanda.

We dropped off Geena and it was just Amita, Hye-Jung and me. We walked upstairs to GNC, but they were closed, so no massage. Then came the phone call. The reunion was over if you can call it that.
