What a Week

Apr 18, 2005 13:45

The title is a bit misleading. This week wasn't earth-shattering but it was interesting and fun.
Danni came in on the 8th of April. I ran down to her mom's house in Appy and picked her up. We just
hung out that night and talked and stuff. The next day we tried to go to the mall but we just couldn't
get our shit together to go in time. So we went over to Erica's apartment down the hall from where Nickie
lives. We picked up some 'stuff' and me, Nickie, and Dan-O had 'happy hour' for old times sake. And
of course the usual stuff ensued. Danni and Nickie sat on the couch and cackled and laughed and giggled
and I thought they were laughing at me.

So the next day came and the plan was that we were going to go to Johnson City and go to the mall,
eat at a nice restaurant, and then go to the club so that when 12:00am rolled around, Danni would
officially be 21 and she could drink. Nickie didn't want to go because she wasn't into clubs but Kim
decided she would join us. So we all jumped in the truck and rolled out of Norton at around 3:00pm.
Well we had to hurry because the mall closed at 6:00pm. Well we got there and most of my time was
spent in Hot Topic where I bought some wide leg pants and a hoodie and then over at the shoe store
where I got some new kicks. Next stop was the book store and then we went to Fizzoli's because
I was hungry and wanted italian food but Danni and Kim weren't hungry enough to go to some big
fancy sit down restaurant. And then we headed over to New Beginnings to discover that the club
is now CLOSED on Sundays. Bummer. After Danni spoke with some of her friends on her cell phone,
they decided that they were going to Hog Wild to get drunk. Me and Kim really didn't want to go
to Hog Wild so we dropped Danni off in Nicklesville and headed back to Norton.

The rest of the week was pretty much the same. Danni would come down and hang out a while with me and Kim
and Richard, and JJ would sometimes join us. Nickie however was nowhere to be found. Well actually she was at home but no matter how much we knocked on her door or called, we couldn't get an answer.

One night we headed down to April O'Quinn's house in Clinchco where again we had 'happy hour' and jumped on the trampoline. It was so much fun but I quickly realized that I didn't have the energy that I seemed to have when I was 12 years old anymore and that smoking heavily over the past year made my throat feel like it was the size of a coffee straw. But still I bounced Danni and Kim around like they were rag dolls and it was so funny. On the way back JJ rode up front with me and Kim and Danni rode in the back of the truck ALL THE WAY back to Norton. Poor Kim must have froze her ass off in that skirt.

Later on that week me, Kim, Danni, JJ, and some guy named Alex went after hours to the Wise Theatre and watched the Amityville Horror. It was alright but nothing special. It was still pretty creepy though.

Well then Saturday night rolled around and again the plan was for us all to go to New Beginnings. That night I just didn't feel like going but we had to do something because it was the anniversary of Danni meeting Richard for the first time at Newbies and plus Danni had called a bunch of her friends to be there and she didn't have any way of telling them that she wasn't coming. So that night it was decided that Richard, Kim, Danni, and JJ would go to the club and JJ would be the driver for the evening. They all went and I headed back to Big Stone.

The next day after church I headed over to Norton and found Danni, Kim, and Richard still looking a bit rough from the night before. Apparently Kim and Danni had a REALLY good time because they got so drunk. Richard said he had a pretty good time because he got to dance but was sad that I wasn't there, especially for the last dance which was a slow one. And poor JJ just didn't have much fun. He got hit on by several guys LOL! But Danni even said that she brought over some straight girls for him but he just didn't show much interest in them! After that, they ate at Perkins and then headed back.

The rest of that Sunday me, Kim, Danni, and Richard just hung out until around 8:00pm when I had to take Danni back to Appy so that she could get on her bus the next day to go back to New York. I'll miss my Danni but she said she would be back in August or September. Richard is apparently going to visit Danni next month in New York but I doubt I'll be going because he never asked me and I really think that he just wants to go so he can go to clubs and stuff by himself. He says that's not the case, but even when I brought it up to him he STILL didn't ask me. I don't know.

But it's Monday now. I talked to Nickie yesterday on the phone and hopefully she'll be able to hang out for a while if she's feeling better. I haven't seen her in a week. She says the reason she's been MIA this whole past week was because she's had a killer headache and all she's wanted to do is just sleep and lie in bed. I can understand that.

TTFN.
