clifton shennanigans
It's been nearly 2 months since Nikki and I moved to Clifton. Since then, I've had my hair stroked at a crosswalk by a stranger tripping on acid, lost both mirrors on my car, hunted possums at 2am, had a conversation about life after breaking into our neighbors yard to sit around their abandoned campfire for 3 hours, and (recently) got pneumonia. Funny enough, the only regret I have is not doing it sooner. The trashy streets and insatiable crime rate here have become almost endearing now that I've started to call this place "home".
Thursday night is still pretty vague, but I do remember being pleasantly surprised at my hand-eye coordination 4 beers deep. Let's just start by saying 4 Lokos are a dangerous beverage, but the alcohol/energy drink combo has always proved to be a good starter for an epic night :) Naturally I brought home 2 of them: 1 each for Nikki and I to pregame with (pregaming usually involves dance parties in our kitchen, drunk facebooking, and in depth talks about disney movies). After that ensued, we stumbled next door to the neighbors' house JUST IN TIME for hookah :D After smoking and chatting for a solid half hour all of the guys decided they wanted Jimmy John's cookies, so Nikki and I began our quest to Jimmy John's. It was a casual stroll for the most part, until we got the BEJESUS scared out of us at the street corner by a cop. We still reeked of weed so a drug dog in the back of a cop car started barking like crazy when we passed by, but the popo of Clifton have bigger things to worry about than 2 dumb college girls on a late-night journey for munchies. So he stared at us, rolled his eyes, and drove away. I love Clifton. After we came home, we went to a Halloween party across the street. I just remember seeing a guy dressed as Toad from Mario Kart almost get plowed by a Ford 150 truck. He had a cardboard box around his waist, decked out to be a car so he took it to the street to give everyone a little demonstration of his driving antics. Of course....we didn't realize how messed up he was until he stumbled into oncoming traffic. After he narrowly escaped a hit-and-run, everyone yelled "BLUE SHELL THAT ASSHOLE!" The night finally came to close when we came home to play a few drinking games, including a personal favorite: Louville Chugger. Bedtime soon followed haha.
Ohhh clifton, how you've grown on me
