(no subject)
this is wednesday, august 19
includes a mini road trip to a waterpark in celebration of the quickly approaching college experience
7 am is ENTIRELY too early, especially since my head didn't even hit the pillow until 4 am
a storm knocked out the power right after watching a horror movie alone in my house so sleep was not exactly peaceful
i'm headed to a water park with some friends today so i do some last minute shaving and bathroom things while waiting for them
pack and charge everything as there was no electricity the night before
friends arrive at about 8:30 and walking out i see about half of my tree scattered around my yard
mornin y'all
we make a brief stop at taco bell only to realize that it's not even open yet. we all work night shifts and consequently pretty much forgot 8:30 am even existed anymore
hot chips substitute for greasy beaf and fake cheese
after the slumdog millionaire soundtrack ends, some videos over the car speakers keep everyone entertained
lack of sleep kicks in and the two of us in the backseat settle down to sleep
some mars volta wakes us up to greet nashville
sarah enjoys her "brewsky" as we reach our destination
everyone puts in their eyeballs and marinades in sunblock outside the park gates
inside the park the ground is SO GROSS. i have a personal vendetta against shoes and hardly ever wear them, but the ground is so sticky and unpleasant here that i almost regret not bringing sandals
neck strain is inevitable as this first slide takes us completely by surprise, not expecting the sudden drop
we stayed for almost three hours but my camera was put away for most of it. we went down each slide several times, roberto and i both get stuck on the same slide, and we tried kayaking in the lake
on the way out we try to get a picture of the water falling from this giant bucket
:]
typical tourists i guess
time when we get out. i was too lazy to change into a proper swim top before going in, so apparently i've been walking around looking like white trash with the bra hanging out and everything
oh well who cares, it's the south
i break my favorite sunglasses while trying to put on some blink 182 ahaha
hello rainforest cafe! i shouldn't be spending a lot of money on food but i have been outvoted in the food poll
great look what
sarah and i get changed in the mall bathroom while two other women have a fartfest in the stalls, slightly reminiscent of the peter/michael moore fart scene from some family guy episode
into the jungle to our food
we eat out overpriced food and while they eat desert, i dance around the table to whatever music's playing. many stares from small children and rainforest cafe staff
in some shoe store following lunch. while normally i'm quite the shopaholic, i'm currently broke and reeeally tired so i separate from the group and chill while they shop
we take a quick look around earthbound and i fall in love with these mirrors ahhh
roberto is equally in love with some sword he found
cyd looks for some boots in a different store while i take a power nap on a bench. cute store clerk wakes me up and we have a pretty good conversation
looking around at sanrio stuff while everyone pees
mall time's over so we start heading back to memphis
i fell asleep while they were trying to figure out how to get to the interstate. i get a taste of my own medicine when everyone wakes me up by screaming at the top of their lungs. we're always doing this to whoever falls asleep in hopes of getting a freaked out reaction like the guy in that video with like a minivan full of guys. so far nobody's had the right reaction :[
anyway, after waking up i'm slightly grumpy, very tired and pretty gassy. sarah is forced to hide from the pootsmell (a combined effort between myself and cyd)
into the mountains
cyd and sarah both fall asleep, so even though i'm tired i stay awake to keep roberto company while he drives
i use it as an opportunity to have him listen to some of my music. we find that despite his indie elitism and my pop addiction, we actually like some of the same stuff
rain starts and wakes cyd up, so i can sleep again
i wake up 30 minutes later to the chanting of "KFC, KFC, KFC" which never ends up happening because we have to get gas first. unfortunately gas seems to be the anti-christ in jackson, tennessee because it takes forever to find any gas stations at all
i lay out in the backseat and sing to myself while everyone else restocks their snacks
energy levels are pretty low at this point and traffic gets kinda sucky, but thankfully the lonely island is the perfect cure for all stages of grumpiness
by 10 we're in memphis and i get dropped off at the sunburnt bff's house
she very kindly offers me some leftover chinese and we rediscover the wonderful world of neopets (don't judge..)
i haven't played in years and whaaaaat it's so different now
beating the first level of cheat takes wayyy too long. i'm definitely rusty
tired face puffiness tells me i should sleep
but not without some icecream first :]
we look at some pictures of her recent trip to boston and talk about our ~*~*feelings~*~*. the reason i'm staying over is so i can help her move into her dorm the next morning, so she's obviously excited about what's happening tomorrow
unintentional creepy picture
eventually we've talked about our feelings so much we're not even sure we have them anymore
i abandon the bed and take my place on the futon but not without first removing my eyeballs
goodnight world
