Oh man. I just had THE most awesome weekend; and better yet, it was with my two buddies Rachel and Talia! Tonight was actually my first time hanging out with them OUTSIDE of school. It's pretty different, but I loved every single minute of it.
Okay, so the plan for the whole week was to go to a haunted house called 'Nightmare on Grayson.' We wanted to go on Friday, but no, no, no; Rachel's friend wanted to go out with her boyfriend and his friends that night and we didn't really want a small group. I ended up going to Rachel's house to watch movies and play video games because I DID NOT want to stay home at all. It was fun. We found out her sister had Myspace. That was awkward because she had to add her and cover up most of the curse words on some of her entries. We totally gave up on watching movies because at that point we were too engulfed with editing her myspace that it turned out to be 8 o'clock. Instead, we indulged on the games I brought over! I took Katamari Damacy, Fatal Frame III, and Kingdom Hearts II, plus DDR. We only played the first three because I forgot to bring a piece for the mat so we weren't able to use it. She really was freaked out by Fatal Frame III though which caused me to pause and toss the controller a couple of times across the room because I jumped at some parts as well. I owned her in Katamari Damacy and then about a half hour before I had to leave, I set on playing KH2 in front of her. She seemed kinda interested in my opinion! Talia was supposed to come over, but she was exhausted since it was a Friday and we did have school that day. I went home and slept easy. ♥~
On Saturday, I didn't do much of anything really. I woke up around 11-ish and was on the computer, switching back and forth between watching Fantastic Four and playing Katamari. That whole day was pretty much wasted. I wanted to go see a production of Dracula at another high school with Rachel, but I didn't want to bother my parents for money.
On Sunday, (Since it is now literally Monday.) We went to the haunted house and chilled around there. I was on the computer consoling a friend about his hangover and giving him advice such as lying down and drinking plenty of water. He thanked me hours later, of course! I left my house around 5:15 PM-ish to go get money from the bank and then from there, traveled to Rachel's house. We left her place after getting directions and went to pick up Talia and then it was off to the NoG. We got there around 7:15-ish and waited for other group members to show up. So while we passed the time, we watched a freak/magic show put on by this guy plus people breathing fire. Oooh. Also, some people in scary costumes ran around chasing people. Oh man, that must have been the highlight of my night.
There was Freddy Krueger running around, Jason Voorhees, this tall Pumpkinhead guy, a dude dressed up as a grandma, and this scary clown with the most creepy laugh and a machete. I really disliked Freddy and the clown. They chased me! I hateeee being chased around. The clown was the worst. You just had to be there! I laughed so hard after it happened that I could not breathe! Anyways, for a recap and to let your vivid imaginations run wild. Rachel, Talia, and I went to the gate leading into the fairgrounds so we could meet our other party members. On the way there, I was clasping Talia's hand because she could see the clown person coming towards us and she was like, "Oh God no! Please don't come over here!" All of a sudden, the clown starts laughing maniacally and coming at us. Talia starts sprinting and that just sets me off so I start running off towards the gate. I hear the machete scrape across the ground and more laughter and I just take off like nobody's business, plus I was screaming bloody murder. I reach the gate a little out of breath and turn around to see the clown walking away and bothering Talia and Rachel before scampering off; those two were clinging to each other and just standing there. We both walk back towards each other and we are laughing our heads off! At first I thought they were laughing at Talia, but no, they were laughing at me! I couldn't breathe at the time from all the laughing that was going on, but this is how they saw the entire scene.
Talia: Yeah, I starting running, but then I scurry back over to Rachel and practically cling and crawl over her.
Both: And then we see the clown run off and go, "Where's Carolyn?" and all we see is a red jacket (my red jacket) flapping in the breeze and we saw you running and screaming for your life.
Rachel: I wanted to help you, but at the same time I was like, "Oooh poor Carolyn."
*insert lots of laughter in here*
Talia: Yeah, we're never going to let you live this down.
And then when the other people arrived, Freddy Krueger walked towards us and Talia and I tensed up and clinged to each other and tried to remain calm, but he came after us and I dashed away from him too. One of the girls in our group told me, "He's just a person in a costume dearie." but I pushed past her and kept on running! That's basically the entire frights of the night before we even went into the haunted house. Rachel scolded me once because we walked back towards the gate to pick up other people and I saw Freddy and I was like, "Nuh uh." and ran off to hide behind a tree and she came and pulled me back.
I wish I could tell you what happened INSIDE the haunted house itself, but I was clinging to Talia and Rachel the entire time plugging my ears and shutting my eyes and I was screaming when they were screaming. I was pinned between the two. I was hugging Rachel's midriff and holding her hand while Talia was hugging my midriff and holding my other hand. It was like a train! Haha. The entire thing seemed long and I wasn't sure when it was going to end. They had about two rest areas to catch your breath and such. After, our throats were so dry from screaming and we were covered in sweat and my hair was a mess because it twas HOT inside that place! We cooled off with snow cones, but they put TOO much syrup and we had to suck it all out before we could get some ice! Sometimes you get a snow cone with too less of syrup, and then there are other times where you have too much. Yeah, we're picky in society.
After that, everyone wanted to go to Chachos, this Mexican food joint. I'm thinking, 'Alright, let's hang out some more. My parents won't mind.' So we leave NoG, but not right away because someone locked their car keys in their car. We have to wait and inbetween waiting for the locksmith, a group of guys come up and offer us some help. All of a sudden they pull out a coat hanger and start trying to break into the car with expertise. *cocks a brow* Verrry suspicious. We don't really sweat it and leave to Chachos. Combining some of our money, Rachel, Talia, and I buy a plate of bean and cheese nachos, plus a tall glass of sprite to wash down all the icky coconut-flavored syrup. We sat around and did some crazy stuff in there for an hour before we had to leave. Rachel even called Aldwin using my cellphone and tried to play off as some telemarketer and got hung up a few times. The next time we called, I had to answer and it was Kavon. We talked for a few before they had to hang up.
Some of the crazy stuff included dares such as eating this nasty cheese dip from the nachos and licking grease off the plate. For $3, I ate a spoonful of sour cream and I had to swallow it. At first it wasn't too bad, but when I tried to swallow it, I gagged and pushed it out into my hand. A bit of it got in my hair, but I was trying to force it all out. I didn't get all of it out on first throw up, so I tried to swallow the rest of it, but that didn't work out either. In the end, I spit it all into a napkin, get paid the $3 and get a ton of laughter out of it. Someone even took a video recording of the entire thing. I ended up pissing off a guy and his brother though. The guy had a weak stomach, but he never told me that! I felt really bad, and his brother was mad at me because I 'intentionally messed with him.' Ugh, that wrecked my mood for the moment, but Talia and Rachel reassured me that it was o-kay and that I didn't do anything wrong. They were just overreacting, but I still felt a little bad. We left after I got this threatening text message from my mom telling me that I better be home before 12:00 or else. So the group left and we went to Rachel's friend, Terri's house to wait to be picked up by her dad. It was already 12:07 AM at this point and I was going to be in major trouble later on. Her dad got there and picked us up and we dropped off Talia and then they dropped off me and I got home around 12:34-ish. Wasn't too bad. Everyone in my house was asleep though.
That's basically all that happened. Now I'm just sitting here at 2:43 AM waiting for Aldwin to call me back because he asked me too and then when I did, he said that him and Kavon were watching a movie. Right, let's see if he even DOES return my call. If not, I have a reason to nag at him later today. In about 7 hours or so, Rachel is supposed to call and tell me what the deal is today. We're supposed to go Homecoming dress shopping and then to Talia's "friend", Brigette's barbeque/birthday party. Yeah, I don't know her and both Talia and Rachel don't even like her, but we are going just to be friendly and Talia lives a couple houses away from her anyways. I don't even know what to get her! Maybe some Bath and Body Works stuff or a huge belt buckle? As Rachel told me, "Get her something that Talia would like and she would like it too!" Brigette likes to copy Talia. That's why we don't like her.
And that's basically the sum of this weekend. I should go to bed right now so I can wake up. I also have homework to catch up on! Eeep! Later gators! ♥
