oh what a vacation this has been...
i was so excited about getting a break from school. I was gonna spend the next four days laying around doing whatever i wanted, i would get to see my buddy Teresa and chill with her, and i was gonna eat til i couldn't eat anymore. And then it was wednesday.....holy freakin crap. I'll start from the beginning. Teusday i left galveston early and skipped all of my classes (it seemed like a good idea at the time), so i got in to san antonio around 6:30 pm and hung around with my cousin and ate pizza. Then i went to pick Teresa up down the street at around 9:30 ish, and we came back and were bored so we went out to HEB and bought cookie dough then went to blockbuster and got movies, then to wendy's for frosties, then back home to watch movies and eat the cookie dough. Wednesday we woke up around 1:30 in the afternoon, were supposed to help cook for thanksgiving but got out of it by pulling the whole "it's Teresa's first time in San Antonio and i really wanna take her around cause she's leaving on saturday" bit and went downtown instead. So i took her to the riverwalk and the mercado which was SO dead cause nobody was out, then we came back around 6:45 pm and played around on the computer for a little while and decided to go see The Grudge (there was nothing else showing). So we leave around 7:05 for the movie theatre, movie ends around 9:30 ish and we leave complaining about how stupid the movie was blah blah blah, but having a good time. So we're about to turn on to Pat Booker Rd, I'm trying to get in to the right lane but there's a car coming, well, i turn back around and the truck in front of me that was moving has now stopped. I go to slam on the break, the pedal gets caught between my flip flop and my foot, and BAM.....my airbag explodes in to my face (which burned like a mother fucker), my car smells HORRIBLE, and my fender is completely fucked up. So the police come, and they were very nice, the people in the the truck had little to no damage so they were nice too, and of course being the good responsible driver that i am, i didn't have my insurance with me, so i got a ticket. So after creating quite the traffic jam we finally left with my grandparents and they towed my car. So we get back, i'm sitting around looking like i want to die (which wasn't far from the truth), my mom was on the phone making jokes about it as usual, and my grandmother was trying to give me valium that was 10 years old that she got from my great grandmother (apparently it's a mexican thing), so we finally compromised and she agreed to get me a margarita from Taco C instead. So we went to the drive through, only to find out that you can't order alcohol without walking in, and she was too lazy to walk in so i didn't get my margarita. So we went to Sonic and got ice cream instead. So we got back to the house, and i'm online, starting to feel a little bit better, then i see that someone left a comment on my LJ. So i read it, and i wanted to shoot myself. To make a long story short i had written something a little over a month ago out of frustration and it offended someone very close to me and i felt like shit. i want to apologize to her for being an ass, she's been nothing but great to me and i shouldn't have been so unfair, and i'm sorry. love you manda :o). Ok, so I'm sitting there, wanting to die again, and finally called her up and tried to smooth things over a little. So that was that then me and Teresa made cookies, they burned like crazy, we set off the smoke detector three times at 2 in the morning, and it was just all a disaster. I watched a movie, teresa passed out on the couch, then we finally went to bed. We woke up on thursday just in time to eat (go figure), then sat there eating and talking, did nothing to help clean up of course, then we were trying to figure out what to do with the rest of our day cause we were bored. So my aunt jennifer agreed to take me teresa and trey bowling. So we went and bowled, played pool, ate greasy foot, and looked like idiots trying to do DDR for the first time. My aunt, naturally, got bored and left me the car then went out with a guy. So we bowled our last game, my aunt left me 40 bucks for the games which you would think is enough, we get to the counter, only to find out it's charged per game per person and our total would come to around 74 dollars. So after i shit myself i found a coupon in my purse which brought it down to about 55 dollars. I only had 52 in cash and was gonna pay the rest with a card but i guess he didn't feel like doing the split transaction and just didn't make me pay for the rest of it. So we leave, go home, and that was pretty much it. Friday, i woke up to a threatening phone call from my mother yelling at me to call USAA, figure out a way to get home, plus she was pissed cause i didn't call her on thanksgiving. So that was a nice way to start my day, so i spent 2 hours on the phone with the insurance company, then tried to rent a car but i couldn't cause it had to be back in san antonio...and that just wouldn't work, so i had to resort to a greyhound bus which is gonna be interesting seeing as how i have a 4 hour ride and nothing to entertain me. I'm hoping to God there are hot guys on greyhounds, but with my luck probably just bums and rapists. So anyways, friday we went back to the mercado with my grandparents and my cousin, and that time was way better cause it was packed. However, because of our little outing i was only able to catch the last few minutes of our football game only to watch my aggies get creamed by TU in the second half, called amanda and promised to protect her from any angry mobs she might encounter while wearing her lost bet (TU gear on campus all next week...it's not gonna be pretty), then we were bored while waiting for Joey to come pick us up, we went cosmic bowling and that was fun at least, then went to bed around 3 am and had to get up at 5:15 cause Teresa had to be at the airport by 6. Then we came back, i slept til 12:30, woke up to my mother calling me again, came downstairs, and have been on the computer ever since. Tomorrow I'll leave on my little greyhound bus, get back to school, and stress out over finals til i go home on the 16th. All in all, my vacation was one gigantic emotional roller coaster and i've come to the conclusion that if i just sit in my dorm and or house, i can't really fuck anything up. So here's to becoming a trogladite over the next couple of weeks, i hope everyone had a better thanksgiving than i did, and i shall hopefully talk to you soon. bon voyage
