So Rob and I got home from gettysburg Saturday at like 8ish. It sucked. Friday we left early at like 10 we were allready gone and done with breakfast. It was snowing... just tiny flakes nothing at all, not accumulating or anything. So about 2 hours later, it starts picking up, just a little bit, still nothing bad. I can't see though my windshield is like streaked funny. Rob really has to pee nad i kinda have to and so we decided that we hit new jersey at 1221 and i mean hit new jersey. Off exit 3, the first exit in jersey, only giong about 25 maybe 30, b/c i can see theres a stop at the top of the exit. Well going up hill... not hitting the gas we get pulled up on black ice. the whole ramp was ice. We slammed into the left and then the right and the left i dont even know how many times. Thank god there wasnt a gaurd rail or we would have flipped and gone back down into the highway. I ended up going like a foot up on the curb each time we hit it. I couldnt get the car to stop and then at the top theres a gaurd rail and i was finally off of ice, put the car down into first gear so it would have to slow down, and we hit more ice. and i'm screaming fuck robs screaming shit. it sounded like I totaled my fucking car or something b/c the cooler in the back hitting everything else and the doors and shit. it was crazy. but yeah hit more ice, i'm shaking so bad and the cars pulling cuz all the tires are bent, not blown out... not sure how that didnt happend, just warped and going flat. So were on ice about 2 feet from te rail and 4 from the signs and im like ok... more ice... staying this way so we dont hit the rail and well hit trees instead. So we get to the sign take a left i cant control the car and the gas station seems sooo far away and ten everything is a 2 lane road with 2 turning lanes it was a mess people are cutting me off and going around me and it seemed like it took forever to get to the gas station. Rob talked to the guy and was like honda dealer up hte street so we peed and i had bobby drive to the dealer and he was struggling with that b/c the tires were all like totally flate by te time we got into the car and shit it sucked. we got out and went in adn they looked at me like.... you brought a chevy to a honda dealer... wtf... but they were all very nice. They found parts and had them deliverd and shit they were very helpful and then they brought us up the road to a hotel, the phillipsburg inn. They said theyd have the car down today but they didnt they had it saturday for us. So we sat in out hotle room the whole night. Bob took a bath and i napped for like 3 minutes. we called a chineese place and had food deliverd. I really wanted to go next door to perkins but we didnt we got chinese instead. the chicken wings were the best thing i have ever eaten. So good. The crab rangoon was yuckish, mainly crab adn no cream cheese. Rice wasnt too bad either. We ventured to Target to buy board games and snackes. We got Pirates of the Caribean Life. And we got Uno. We played life one time it was different. there was raides and stuff and you picked a boat and a mascot and your captain. You got to take 2 cards and pick who you were. it was fun. then we played uno i dont even know how many times. The hotel wasnt too bad though. it was kinda nice. So after we played games i went and took a bath... rob was all trying to steal my bath, he really likes them.. i think hes kinda gay hehe. But i had hurt my back and wrist on ehte ice so i took one and then i let him get in and sit with me. Then we played more uno and watched tv. I was soooo tired, all I wanted to do was sleep and that was at like 5 i dont even know what time i went to bed at. I think it was like 10... i felt bad b/c i went to bed early like the whole trip, not really early, just before he did. But whatever. So got my car back, he drove all the way home... the car sucks i want a new one. I cant drive it and my dads like its fine, its not fine. it doenst shake, but its not set right. and the guy at te dealer told me it wouldnt be. Its never going to drive the same. I need a new car end of story, but hes not going to just trade it in and get a new one, hes gunna shell out anouth 1000 to fix it, i gurantee he will. ANd its going to be my fault. I didnt put the ice there to slip on. All he says is u shoulda stayed where you were look what youre costing me. Not good thing it was only the car. Or at least your ok. I'm not ok. I really fucked up my wrist and i dont have health insurance so i cant even go to get it looked at.
Other than all that the trip was ok. Rob was an ass for most of it. We didnt do anything that I had planned on doing. I wanted to get the tape and drive threw the field for a few hours listening to it so we would see everything but nooooooooooo we just drove to the parts he wanted to see.. if we could find them. Then we never went to the museums like i wanted to. when we got there i didnt want to go as much but it would have been nice to see a few of them. not that i knew where they were. and he fucking drove the whole god damn time. he drove the whole way there and then all around the damn place. he fucking almost wrecked my car i dont know how many times. My car isnt like his... he doesnt get that and would SLAM on the break. I would be like.. ok... break.. and hed be lalalalala oh shit slam. and then we almost went threw a red light that had been red for a while. and i screamed red light and he slammed on te breaks. huh? oh, sorry zoned out. NOT WHNE YOUR DRIVING christ. But whatever... men are better drivers which is why the woman in the car was paying attention, right?
But the battle field was cool. we only went into a few shops didnt buy anything b/c i wanted to go back on oyur last day and do that so i would have money for food and shit like that not trash. and he blew a 100 on a gun. im not too pleased about that. it was cold and riany the day before we left. He wants to go back someitme, and the next time, i'm driving threre and hrew the field and everything else b.c it sucks not seeing what i would like to b/c we're speeding around. But itwas a good trip. lots of pictures... none of us though. He HOGGED MY CAMARA. I'm soooooooo pissed i took like 3 pictures. and hes a BAD picture taker. I didnt get any good ones of anything i wanted. his consern was ghosts and orbs and shit. I wanted pictures of stuff and us. out og the 8 disposable cameras that i bought, he hogged and used all of... we took one picutre of us and who knows how that came out, bc again.. he held the camera.. so not too good if u ask me. It was a good time though. Ghost tours where awsome. got a lot of cool orbs met some cool people. everyone was sooo nice. Omg, i had the best chicken sandwich of my life. from the Pub, i got a cajun chicken sandwich it had soo much seasoning i thought it was breaded. it was sooo good the best thing ihave ever eaten. adnthen we went to some other place in town haggs diner or osmething who knows thats prolly not the nam eof it haha and we got burgers. omg they were so good too. the fries at the pub were amazing and at the other place. we got pizza hut too... sub par. No desserts the whole time though. we were so full. I'm bumbed by that. everything looked sooooo good and shit. oh man im sick of typing my wrist hurts... bye
