Sunny Days...
So as I said my meeting with Dr. Myers went well, so Thursday night was a drunken fest. It was a good time though. When I get drunk, I either get silly drunk or sleepy drunk. Thursday I was defiantly silly drunk. Have you ever noticed that boys drink and they get angry, but when girls drink they get goofy? I am a very goofy drunk. I owe apologies to Jaci and Elycia for telling boys that my friends would go home with them. Opps! J You know you’re a crazy drunk when you start whoring your friends out for no reason!
So then Friday was recovery time for most of the morning. I don’t actually remember that much of Friday, is that weird? My check engine light came on though. That sent me into a panic! I check the oil, it didn’t need any, but then I check the coolant… there was NONE in the car. Uh, when I told my dad this, he wasn’t too happy. This was because I had already blown up one car by not keeping up on these things. I blew the engine in the grand am because I was leaking coolant and it killed the engine. THAT was a fun night… not sooo much! So I DROVE the car to Krogers to get Coolant. My dad was even more pleased when I told him I had done that! But then I put the coolant in the car and then check engine light was still on. So Friday evening, Brandon came over to check it out. And he said you have to reset the check engine light. Oh, ok.. no problem, right? Except you have to have a machine that hooks up to your electrical system to do this! So I get on google and start checking out the scene… It costs about $80 to have this done in most places. OK, so that’s not good. So I leave it alone that night and decide Ill deal with it in the morning. So yesterday (Saturday morning) I get up and I read online that if you disconnect the battery, the electrical system will restart itself. So I think perfect! That will save me a trip to the garage and $80! So I walk myself down the stairs of my apartment thinking Ill just unhook the battery. Mind you… I have no tools! Ps… anyone else who has a grand prix… check out where your battery is actually located in your car! You have to basically tear apart the front of the car to even get to it! So that wasn’t gonna work out. So by this time Eylcia has come over, because she was gonan help with the battery! J hahaha.. we’re silly girls. So we have to find a garage that is open on a Saturday. There are basically NO garages open on Saturdays in Morgantown! This is very strange to me, Saturday seems like a good time to get your car fixed to me. The average business person works all week! Anyway, Matt says Ervine’s is open and that’s where he always takes his car. So Gail walks down from her apartment to take the trip with us. So we get the garage and this place looked a little on the sketchy side, but all I knew was that my baby needed fixed! I had called ahead of time and the woman on the phone told me they were busy today and that I should be prepared to leave my car for a couple days till they would have a chance to look at it. But when I got there, two guys started to look at it right away. One was actually checking out the car, the other was talking to me. He read my shirt and laughed… it was one of my 700 senior bar crawl shirts. And then he asked me if I had ever been to elements and I said no. And he said well the bar there closes at 4am, but the parking lot closes at 2am so they are always towing cars from there. He says… did you know that we get to decide how much we charge people to pick up their cars? I said no, (knock on wood) my car has never been towed. So then he goes on… Well, if people are pissy when they come in we charge them up around $150, but if people are nice, we charge them as low as $30. I just keep nodding my head and saying, yeah, people shouldn't blame you for doing your job. This is all while the other guy resets my check engine light and looks at my air conditioner. The fan in it is broken. So he checks everything out and says it must have just been the coolant and that everything else seems fine and that he thinks there’s prolly something stuck in the fan of my air conditioner and that’s why it isn’t working right. So he says If I want to come back on Monday, they will check out the fan on the air conditioner but that the car is fine. So Im super excited! Crisis averted! So them I thank them and ask how much I owe them and the guy says nothing! Yahooo!!!!
Luck is on my side these days.
So then last night the suitees decide to have an outing in Pittsburgh!... minus the med student! Test for that one on Monday! So I shower and dress and jump in the car and headed to Washington, PA to meet up with the girls then we jump in Jenn’s car and head to Pittsburgh. So we’re driving around the city looking for a place to park and there are all these guys trying to sell Pirates tickets. So we decide we’ll buy tickets. So we’re driving around looking for a good price and we’re kinda like.. eh, expensive. But then we come across a guy who kinda eyes me funny. OK, this guy is HUGE! Like Ruben Huge! And he’s like I have lower level tickets. Well, all the other guy we had come across only had general admissions nose-bleed seats. So we settle on $45 for three tickets and then the guy gave me his number and said next time I was in town to give him a call and he would take me to the game for free. Whats worse is as we’re actually walking to the game, we pass by him again, and he's pointing at me and talking to his friends so Jenn waves, so I have to look, and hes blowing kisses and waving… sooo weird! So then we get to the game… we spend the first 5 innings eating in a little pizza place and drinking beer. YES, I WAS DRINKING BEER! Crazy, I know! So I drink that and then we decide we should go watch some of the game, but not without more alcohol, so the girls grab more beer and I start sticking with Smirnoff ice. (Made me miss Marcie and our trips to Elkins to buy the stuff by the case before they had it in Buckhannon!) So we get our seats and we’re sitting in front of some guy who is cheering for Atlanta. This is sooooo wrong. So I turn around and start talking to him. Im slightly drunk at this point. (OK, maybe I was just drunk, but whatever). So I tell him he’s gonna get his butt kicked and he says no no, he’s been cheering for Atlanta like the last three years and they have always won at Pittsburgh, but I continue to tell him its wrong not to cheer for the home team! He was 23 and was there with his 16 year old brother who was also wearing a braves shirt! So anyway, they stop selling alcohol during the 7th inning, so the girls went on a run. They only give you two drinks at a time, so more than one trip had to be made! J So top of the ninth the braves get a run in and people start getting a little upset. Bottom of the 9th, I go to the restroom and on my way back to my seat I see this guy getting in an argument and then three of the security people push the guy down and all three of them are beating on the guy. Now I start freaking out. Partly cuz Im drunk and partly because there are three guys on one! That’s not fair! So I yelling up at Jenn and Lauren screaming about how they’re beating the guy up and then I run so I can get a better look. (Shouldn’t somebody stop the crazy girl!?!) So they pull the guy up and his head is gushing blood. He is bleeding everywhere and they drag him away. This may have been the most terrible thing I have ever seen. OK, except for when Emily fell off the lifeguard chair cuz I had nightmares about that for weeks. But this guy was bleeding everywhere and those security guys were allowed to just beat him to a pulp. I think I should write a letter to channel 5 news or something. I understand they have to keep the peace, but they coud have controlled the guy without beating him up. There were three of them wit the guy on the ground! This is disturbing.
So anyway, the most fun might have been semi-sober Jenn trying to get Lauren and I back to the car. We have to stop every five minutes cu I’m doubled over laughing my ass off. You tell me what was so funny! About half way Lauren gets her heal of her shoe stuck in one the grats in the ground and then I die. And so does this girl who hanging out along the street. So then were just dying and laughing. But then I gotta pee so I run to a McDonalds I see and I mean I ran… out into the street too. So we get there and you have to put change it the door to use the restroom… weird. So I pee and we go to the car and then we decide we want to go out So we go to club TOUCH. I might have been a little out of control at first. I stopped drinking and was just dancing. With all sorts of random guys. Lauren had kept drinking though and was progressive getting to the point where we just needed to get her out of there so we go to the car and then decide we’re not actually ready to go home. So we pull our money to go to Tequilla Willys but we got over there and didn’t have enough to get in and we all decided we should prolly stop spending money at that point. Now the reason we decided not to go was because we didn’t want to spend more money… but then we decided to go out to eat. Way to go drunk kids! So Jenn gets us to a Dennys. We kind eat. Laur was falling asleep in her food. We when have an hour detour of Pittsburgh because Lauren passed out in the car and Jenn and I didn’t know where we were. So finally we got back to Washington, PA. And I started on my 45 minutes drive home at 4am. Good idea, huh? Yikes! Well, everyone made it home in one piece, thank goodness!
