Bowling, PNC park, and being kidknapped: My stay in Lawrenceville
Dear journal,
My, what an outrageous and glorious weekend...
Well, I left to go to Nicks at around 7 or so, and when i got here, we hung out and waited for his friends to get there...Soon, Brendan, Dillon, and Justin came over, and we went out in the Lot for thier "Chill spot" which consisted of an empty lot with a half shack in it and a table with chairs for sitting...it was pretty darn cool, actually...
we hung out there, played a card game that I think was called "Tonk", and that was pretty much that...we played about 4 or 5 hands, and then we decided to go inside and wait for the time to pass before we could go to the bowling alley for some all night bowling...
we get back to Nicks, and pass the tiem by playing NHL 2002 and me playing guitar...nick has like 6 guitars! I was in heaven!
After a while, it finally gets time to go to bowling, and it was me and Nick and Brendan that went cause Justin had to leave and Dillon had a big game of baseball in the morning...
we get to the bowling alley and get all ready...I always figured that as long as i can find a nice ball, then I will bowl really nice...turns out, i found an OK ball, but I really wasnt hapy with it...the fit was pretty nice, but they were too close together and it felt like I had to hold it up more that throw it, so it bothers my fingers a bit...anyways, we played about 8 games, and i was able to get over 100 on all of them, lowest game being a 116 and the highest being a 159...I bowled the best out of everyone there, so i was fine with it...haha...anyways, we all had a really fun time...
we get back to the house and Nick decides that we should try and stay up all night because we will have to get up in the morning at around 8, so it would be alright to just stay awake...I, for one, was not ok with this for I neeeeeeeded sleep soo bad...well, he played hockey until about 6, then we finally decided to call it a day and try to sleep, so he set the alarm to wake us up at 8:15...
I finally got to sleep around 7...
...I wake up to the sound of nothing, and I look at the clock...9:13!!!
we had to wake our asses up and get ready to drive to the game with brendan!
we get up and head out the door, and then we meet up with Brendan and we go to PNC park to watch the 9th Ward pony league play in the championship against washington or something...(in case you didnt know, 9th ward was the baseball association I played for when I was younger, so i had to go!)
well, we sat in the shade, although I wanted to catch a foul ball so bad...
we watched the game and Dillon pitched and stuff, and it was cool...
unfortunately, they lost 14-3....the other team was all beefed up and stuff, it was kinda scary...haha
after the game, we went back to Nicks and we chilled and walked around a bit, then we got brendan and walked around some more...I heard a lot of funny ass stories too, but i really couldnt understand them quite well because I dont know who the people they were talking about were, but oh well, they sounded hilarious...
Eventually we got a hold of Dillon and Justin and we all hung out in the Lot after some Chinese food....we played more of that game and I took pics, and it was fun...
Well, my dad was gonna have to pick me up around 10 or 11, BUT
marshall, Sean, and McCue call me from my house on Nick's cell phone, and they are all like "you need to come home and stuff", so i said i would like to but I can't get picked up til later, but then Marshall said he could come and get me...
Well, i chilled out in the Lot until he came close, then I went out in the Street with the phone to guide him...I look up the hill, and there is Marshall's car...and right beside him is Sean bolting down the hill with a bag...oh shit!
I immediately see whats comming : I'm gonna get kidknapped
so I give nick his phone and i run to the other side of the lot, but its locked, so Sean eventually got me...he out the bag over my head, put me on his shoulders, and ran off...he quickly lost his balance and threw me though, haha...
I go get my stuff, then we chill outside Marshall's car for a bit, then Nick comes outside with my pillow case and throws it over my head, then Sean grabs me and attempts to toss me into the back seat of marshall's truck...
well, he kinda missed...haha
my shin hit the step and my elbow nailed the door frame...i got cut and skin was peeling off, but i was alright, I mean hell, this is one hell of a story!
well, we eventually came back to my house where we played NHL Hitz and just hung out...
i went to sleep around 11 cause I was dead tired...
then my dad opens the door and tells me i have a phone call...I take it, and I'm glad i did...it has been a while....
anyways, i got off the phone and couldn't fall back asleep, so now i'm here trying to get tired...D'oh
well, time to do something...later
sincerely,
me
