Alright, I don't think there is really a gentle way to exaplain our Wednesday night, but, here's to trying.
I was at work, be my fine and dandy self, when I decided that I was going to call Jon and Ashley about some appartments and flats that I had been looking at earlier. So I call the Appartment, ask for Jon, and he says that were not going to talk about things now, were going to talk about things later, to which I feel the need to inform him that I'm at work, wont be off until 9, and probably wont be out of there until 930. He says he knows. By now, I'm a little confused. He tells me that me, Ashley, and himself are going to go see Devils Rejects at Bayers Lake. Well hey, I'm all up for that idea, but I tell him again I doubt I'm going to get anywhere from work in time to see a movie. So he throws Ashley on the phone and we start to discuss bus routes and such.
Now, I'm fairly good at planning things out, but this plan didn't come from me so it was bound to end somewhat badly.
Anyways, I get off work, rush through my paperwork, and out the door and to a bus that came at 9:23pm, record time for my paper work, and I'm ever so proud of myself:D
Back to the story at hand, I caught the bus, and met up with the two of them at the mumford terminal, and from there we caught the 52 Bayers Lake. Once we got off the bus, we figured it would be a good idea to run up the hill to the movie theater... First bad thought of the night. Mind you, Ashley and I did run up the parking lot, holding up our pants, and screaming, " WOOP WOOP! " so it wasn't a complete waste of an idea.
We got into the theater, quickly bought some munchies, and ran down the hall to our designated theater, and copt a squat in one of the front rows. Ashley and I got a little teary near the end of the movie, which just goes to show how twisted we really are ( I LOVE YOU MAN!!) and once the movie was over(awsome movie by the way, anyone as twisted as us should go see it)Ashley and I ran for the bathroom... It happens after you drink an extra large pop. So, while Ashley and I were having casual conversation whil;e taking a leak, the Backstreet boys come on... When will they die out? And please, can we make it soon?... Anyways, I start serenading Ashley while she's in the bathroom, having a fight with toilet paper, and it was all good.
So, we come out the theater, and started walking down the street, and it clearly hasn't kicked in yet, that weve probably missed the last bus home, and we have no money for a cab. Not good at all!! When we finally realize the entire situation, Ashley and I start thumbing for rides along the side of the road, while walking towards the bridge. Now, as much as I would like to say we were successful, we were not. Yes Ladies and gentleman, Jon Ashley and I, walked from Bayers Lake, all the way back to Highfield... Let me tell you, that was one hell of a trip...
We had managed to walk from Bayers Lake all the way to Fairview, where we proceeded to stop at un Ultramar... And got slushies... Pepsi and Crush ones... MMM.... Anywhoo, we keep walking down towards the New Bridge, and Ashley waves to some guy staring at us through a window, who quickly puts the curtain back to the way it was. Not thinking anything of it, we keep walking, until the guy from the window leans out the door and asks jon for a smoke. We all looked at him, and he was this tall lankey blakc man, who was missing several of his teeth, but he seemed like a nice enough guy, so we stayed and had a chat after jon gave him a smoke. We bid our fairwells after a little while, and continued on our tredge.
So, we've weeved our way in and out of streets, gas stations, and highways, and weve finally made it to the new bridge. WOOO!!! GO US!! We stopped caring a very long time ago that we would get arrested for walking accross the brigde. Were almost to the very beggining, and Ashley and I are hoping that a cab will come along, and hopefully just give us a lift across the bridge. Low and behold, our hopes pull off, and we start trying to wave down this cab that has just come across the corner. It passes us, goes a few feet, then stops, and the door opened. Now, what could possibly be a good end to a night like this? Who do we see climbing out of the car, but our little black guy from fairview, you know, the one with missing teeth? Yeah, that guy. So Ashley Jon and I all run up to the cab, give him a giant hug, and we all pile into the car, thankful as all fuck that they came by.
There was one other guy in the cab plus the driver, but I can only remember the drivers name... Good ol Paul, you have our undying love for pulling over.
They dropped us at the beggining of HPD and we walk the rest of the way home to the appartment, mind you, that walk seemed like nothing after what we had just been through. So we finally get to the appartment, and we realize that no one has a key, so we start thrwoing things at the door and Dan's window, but to no avail. Luckily( oh yeah, we have have a little luck left with us) Some guy pulls into the parking lot, and helps us into the building, all good and dandy! So, we painfully trudge our way to the appartment door, where Ashley looks for the key to the appartment door... And this is where our luck runs out completely. No Key, so we knock on the door. We didn't want to call because that would have woken Erina up, and we know she had to work the next morning. We knocked quite a few times. Nothing. Ashley steals Jon's hat, and goes to throw it at Dan's window in hopes of waking him up so he can let us in. Half an hour later, she comes back inside, giving up all hope, we lie down, and work on falling asleep, until of course, Ashley starts giggling, which leads me to giggle. The funny part about this situation? WE WERE SLEEPING OUTSIDE THE APPARTMENT DOOR!! Three of us, were curled into our own respective balls, and were trying to get to sleep outside the appartment door.
I finally let go, and managed to doze off for a few minutes( successfully drooling on my bag in the process) until Ashley said fuck it, and got up to go call. So, now there's just Jon and I, sitting outside the appartment, while we wait in hopes that someone will come. We hear the phone ring from outside the appartment, but no one picks it up. I hear Ashley leave a message, and all of a sudden, the door opens!! And there's Dan, standing in all his tired glory to let us in.
So, all in all, it was an interesting night if I do say so myself. I'm sore, tired, and I have to work at 3, but I wouldn't trade experiences like this for the world.
I'm off, have to go catch a bus in a few minutes.
Hugs*n*Kisses to all.
