so today was interesting.. avoided doing homework, and went on the internet. so then i get a call from kurt asking if i wanted to play halo so naturally i said yes. so i called my dad and asked him if i could drive, and he said i could, so i call kurt back and he says were not doing it because matt couldnt come, so i call my dad and tell him that we arent doing it. so now im depressed but then kurt calls back and says we are oing it so i call my dad back and tell him we are again. so now im happy and i get to avoid doing homework again. so im getting ready and kurt calls back and he says "sorry matt can't go we arent doing it.." and im like OMG but he was just kidding and just called to remind me to bring controllers.
so i drove there and i know you guys dont want me to describe the fun i had playing halo, so i'll skip tot he good part. my mom called me in the middle of a game telling me to come home because it was so snowy. "but mom, why dont i just go to youth group from here" "because, the roads are bad and i dont think you'll be able to drive in it.." "but, well, alright if you want me to" so i drive home and it was BAD. there were parts where it was a white out... i would like to say i made it home without any problems, but you know thats not what happened. pulling out of shannons court, it turned to complete snow. so a little nervous, i keep moving. it calms down and i can see to the stop sign ahead. i turn onto homo, (darn youngsters, always causing trouble) i mean omo, and its fine. armada center seemed deserted past the school. it was a creepy abandoned road as i drove halfway across the yellow line. i finally make it to blakes so i know im almost home! alright! i've made it to romeo plank! im gonna make it home! just before i get to mcfadden, a huge semi comes by and the wind starts blowing, and the snow nearly causes a white out. OMG, im gonna DIE! Whew.. it passed. (and it wasnt even pulling anything) i can make my turn onto mcfadden now. so now i pass shawn drob's house. good, i cant believe i've made it this far. im gonna make it. (but little do you know, its terribly windy at this moment, and just past shawns house is a feild) omg, omg, i cant see! i cant see! alright.. i'll get through this. well lets see, im on the far right side of the road so i'll move a bit over to the left so i dont go into the ditch (which really isnt there, its a non existent ditch with feilds on both sides) YAY! i think to myself! i can see ag... OMG A SNOW DRIFT!... bah! turn right! turn right! (but the tires were being pulled in) splash! snow covers the windsheild after the snow gave out on the car and it sinks into the snow. well, im not hurt, i can see.. i'll just back up and get out. swith to reverse.. darn. i cant even hear the wheel turning. great. im still in the road facing forward, but pulled off into the left side. ok, wheres my cell phone... "him mom, im stuck in a snow drift on mcfadden..." "alright, we'll be there in a minute to pull you out" what? no, 'omg! are you ok'? not even a single, 'no more driving?' huzzah! maybe she is getting better! o look, here comes my father int he police car. what fun.
so it turns out, my mom didnt know i was at shannons house, and i would be PASSING the church to go to youth group. so this whole hting could have been avoided if plans just stayed how they were supposed to. lol, a series of unfortunate miscommunications occured to cause tonights adventures.
so now my mom gets in the car to drive me backto yoth group.. lol. yes, it was quite odd. but she had to drive thorugh town anyway so it was no biggie. but on the way back, we found i believe three cars in the ditch that werent there only ten minutes before. all had help though. one even had a police car.. lol.
sigh.. this has been bothering me for a long time. a while ago, i remember hearing someone say "Were too old for games now"... what have we come too? have we really lost the ability to have fun? must we have a boyfriend or girlfriend, must we have a car to drive? or has all this clouded the knowledge that we once shared as children? why is it that we cant find it in our hearts to play a game with friends. we can't just have fun with everyone. have we turned into what we as kids had always despised? let me just say one thing. A person is never too old to play games, it is the mind that hardens our hearts. i will also say that i will NEVER be to old to play games. I will NEVER sit on the sidelines wallowing just so i can feel the sense of superiority over childhood. i will not forget what its like to enjoy my friends when we are together. when did my generation become fuddy duddies? how did we lose the desire to ram into somoene at full speed in a bumper car? how did we lose the desire to find someone in dark places? why have we closed our minds?
