I Rocked Too Hard
So... We left Portland at 11pm thursday night. We drove and drove and drove... We got to Bakersfield at about 1pm friday. Then me, Lauran, my sister and my dad all went to Jamba Juice and Togo's. LAuran and I had jamba and shared a sammich. I had come down with a rash from stress/exhaustion. I came back to my grandparents house and we slept. My grandmother let us sleep for about an hour and a half. Then we got up and shot the shit with my family until dinner. We had delicious dinner of tri tip! Then my dad, uncle, sister, aunt in law, two cousins, lauran and i all piled into two cars and headed to the go kart race track. We raced once, and had a lot of fun. Then we drove out to kevin's house to drop off the kids. Then out to the Double Tree in Rosedale to go to a bar that Deena had said was good. It was a club. Lauran lasted for about 10 minutes before having to go outside. The music was WAY too loud. And i witnessed line dancing to AC/DC. Linedancing. Shortly after that, I fell asleep on my stool at the table. I was the sober driver and drove everybody home, and then fell on my nose.
Got up Saturday and gramma made biscuits and gravy. Then we headed out to the auto mall to help my sister get an idea of what she wanted for a car. She had a fit the whole time. And was pretty lame. I found some really cute things though! I want to get a new car at some point when I can afford it. Then home and me and LAuran helped my grandmother make chicken and noodles and mashed potatos. Then we all ate dinner. Did some stuff around the house before heading out to Don Perico's for karaoke. I was DD again and everybody else was drinking. I sang Walk The Line and Lauran did Folsom Prison Blues. Then he drank some more. I sang Leavin' on a Jet Plane and made my dad cry. Then Lauran and I both did Bohemian Rhapsody. About half way through, when you're supposed to head bang, Lauran fell over onto the amp and unplugged the karaoke screen. He said that he had "rocked too hard". Then I piled everybody into the car and we headed to an actual bar. There was a latino rock band, complete with horn section. Lauran was drunk enough to dance. So we danced and everybody was dancing and having a good time. I ended up getting overheated and we headed outside, where Lauran got kinda queasy. We got into the car for him to lay down and he ended up vomiting out the door of the car. I went in to try to herd people out and my sister was talking to some boy but the bar was closing. Finally got everybody in and on our way. I dropped my aunt and uncle off and then we got ourselves into bed.
Alarm didn't go off in the morning, so we had a late start. Said a tearful goodbye to my father. Headed to Ventura- and hung out with Nik, Justin and Kelly for a little bit. Then headed to Santa Barbara and saw Phil really breifly. Then up to San Jose where we had lunch/dinner with Krissy and Athelind at the Chipotle near the con. I got some huge PCD and I didn't even go to the con. Drove up to my mom's place, ate mcdonalds and visited before sleeping.
Got up early on monday with intent to be gone by 10 am on the road. We got done with breakfast around ten, but mom decided to take us out to Gurneville to see her new place. So, that added two hours before we left. We didn't leave Santa Rosa until 12pm. We crossed over to the 5 on the 20 just north of Ukiah. It made me really homesick to be in that area. Got into Roseburg about 8ish. Had dinner with Lauran's mom and step dad and brothers and sister. Then rushed our asses back to Portland. Got in about quarter of 1.
Had my interview with the county at 8, so I got up at 6 to shower and get ready. Of course, it started snowing. I got to my interview and I think I did really well. Drove home in the pouring down snow. Then went back to bed until almost 1pm. Now I need to get ready for work and head out.
It's really good to be home.
