I spent this week at one of my best friend Kagan's house. Her husband has been deployeed for a year, and she lives in Fort.Stewart all by herself. I hate that she's so far away...anyways Ellenie and I drove to Woodstock Georgia first to meet my friend from Highschool who is at the Paul Mitchel hair school. I wanted to go blonde, but 6 hours later I have some blonde highlights. I really like my hair, but not exactly what I wanted.
I had made it to Woodstock around 10, started my hair at 1 and didn't get to leave till 7:30, and I had 4 more hours of driving to do with a baby who has been sleeping all day long. (which means she isn't tired at all). I drove through Atlanta for the first time. This is actually my first time driving through a big major city at all! 5 lanes of crazy no turn signal using traffic, billboards that are constantly changing and flashing and doing crazy things, buildings that are way way tall and bright and distracting, it was all way too intense and I was not prepared.I originally wanted to just pick either the first or last lane and stay in it, but there were exists on both sides and sometime the exit ramps were 2 laned, so I picked the middle lane and stayed there. Then a toll booth! I had never ever seen a toll booth before. I had no clue how that worked, I handed the cashier 50 cents and she asked me why I didn't go through the one that was just for change..because I don't know what I am doing!
So I survived driving through Atlanta, and I make it past Macon, and then NOTHING! There is no one on the road, there aren't any exits and nothing. I had been awake since 5:30 in the morning, it is now 9pm and I have 3 more hours of driving. I seriously was hurting and almost doozing off , but I kept calling Kagan and she would
play me the lesbian song and that would perk me up again.
So I make it to Pembroke Georgia! I am stopped at the bank waiting on Kagan to meet me there. Since Kagan lives on a military post she has to bring me into the gate. Well while sitting there I am feeding Ellenie, and 2 cops come pull up beside me checking to see if I am okay (or if I am going to rob the bank) Then some guy in a pick up truck kept circling the bank, and finally pulled in behind me. I was watching him fidget around in this truck for a minute, and then walked to the ATM machine. I had slowly rolled my windows up, and put my key in the ignition. He walked over to me and was like "Hey are you okay?" and I told him I was waiting on my friend to come off post . "Oh your friend is in Ft. Stewart?" I could tell he thought I meant I was meeting a solider and I did not correct him. He got in his truck but didn't leave, then Kagan pulled up and he high tailed it. (If only I had known that wasn't the only time I would be scared shitless in Ft.Stewart)
I follow Kagan to post and they check licenses and registration and all that fun stuff. We settle into her apartment and spend the next few days having a wonderful time! We watched alot of movies, and ordered take out and just caught up on what we were missing and reminiscing the past, and making senerios on how life could be going for us. It was all bitter sweet.
(Kagan ,Ellenie and myself at starbucks open mic)
Kagan however also lured me into
Slender Man .(aka Slendy)..we became obsessed with this tall, thin, stretchable figure in a suit who steals children. Well we came across a
youtube video where he is also stalking two college students, and then after watching all those we found another one about
another person associated with him, and so on and so forth began our youtube trail of horrible findings! Some were stomach turning and made you question if what you saw was real, others just disturbing, but all left you looking over your shoulder at every bump and getting a sick feeling in your stomach when you were laying in bed all alone.
All and all I had a great time with Kagan. I missed her very much, and now I miss her even more.
Driving back home was uneventful until I took the Carterville exit. I somehow got turned around and lost, so my GPS took me through this road that wasn't exactly paved but said it would take me back to the interstate. So while driving on this road I notice a huge fire to my left, I glance over and what do I see? Men in pointy hat sheets! HOLY FUCK THE KKK?!?!!! I immediately hit my brakes turned around and went back to the main road as fast as I could.
Never have I been so scared in my life. KKK scarier than tall slender man stealing kids and stalking people.
I finally made it home around 11 and got to spend the next two days with my hubs.
Slendy Lurkin'!
