South Carolina

[shamrock07]

Well.....Since Im a loser and have no freinds anymore I decided I should update this old thing about my South Carolina trip. We left on the 10th.....bus ride ended up taking 3 days as apposed to 30 hours....never again. We met some cool people and seen some cool places though. We met Keith, Jennifer and Travis. We got to Dans house and went to sleep. I woke up at 4 pm to the sound of ice flowing over a keg....good wake up call huh? Luau later that night which ended in a keg stand for Melissa. After that to the bar. Got aquanted with everyone. Lets see if I can remember. Theres Dan Perry & Tom Perry. Red, Vicki, Jay, Brad Pitt, Holiday, Colby, Matti, Myself, Tayla May, Jennifer, Erich! and a few others that I cant quite remember. Got drunk....almost hit a palm tree on our way back....scary. Ummm Tom & Colby were determined to teach me to "country dance" and its pretty god damn hard when your drunk! lol Kareoke. Home, pool....Colby ended up throwing up.....lol Someone stole our Keg from earlier that day. We were pissed!! Ummm swimming then sleep. Slept in Dans bed with him......Matti slept on the floor. lmao. No...nothing happened either. lol Ummm second day....I think we went to the beach or something. I dont really remember. Alternating between the beach and the pool. The bar at night. Anywho we come to Thursday night.....Bar. Gettin drunk. I meet this guy Brandon. He was cool. Eric helped me out that night....but got me in BIG trouble with Dan & Tom. :/ ANywho Colby got me drunk off beer. Who does that? lol I mustve drank 2 putchers to myself playing our little chug as much as you can game. Went home....Matti got sick and left early with Brandon. Me, Dan & Tom went home around 1.....Chilled with Eric their neighbor on the porch until like 4. Drank more beer. Talked. Tom kept callin me puppy. lol that was like his name for me. I apologized over and over about my little mishap that got me in trouble. They said it was straight but I know it wasnt. Anywho......time to go to bed at 4. One of the nights Dan was drunk and he was telling me about how pathetic my life was because it revolves around pot....then he was smelling a roach and wouldnt stop talking about how he missed it everyday. lol I loved it. One of the days I was dared to do a straight shot with NO chaser of Ever Clear. If you actually know what that shit is, cuz not alot of people do.....you know that a straight shot makes you puke most of the time. Its basically rubbing alchohol...tastes the same. it was fucking descusting...but Im a hard ass so I did it. lol. Ummmm their are some WEIRD ass bugs down there.....let me tell you. So scary they made me jump in the god damn pool. lol larry came along with us. lol :) Ummmm anywho....Onto our last night there. Chilled all day. Watched a whole lot of Boston Legal....that show is fucking hilarious. Ummm Bar at like 7. dancing and drinking. My goal was to go there and have all the other people buy me drinks.....of course I didnt actually plan on this happening but.....Brandon bought me food.... And then Colby shows up. We're dancing and shit. Hes buying my shots left and right. Completely attached by the hip the whole night. Actually, I kinda think that pople were trying to get us apart....But that wasnt happenin. lol Anywho......after like 3 shots of tequila, a grandma, 3 killer kool-aides, a couple jager bombs, a few raspberry kamikazes and some beer.....I wanted to go swimming! lol I was done for. So Colby, Matti & I jump in his truck and head to the pool. As soon as I get out my clothes start flying off...fuck bathing suites. So we're in the pool....the 3 of us. well....Matti was kinda by himself....lol Colby & I were together. ;) Dan Perry walks back....."Colby! Get the fuck outta the pool if you know whats good for you!" We're like WTF?! So he jumps in in all his clothes. He starts to wrestle matti. Well Matti is a little too drunk for this (none of us shoulda really been in the pool anyways....lord knows I couldnt swim if I would of had to) and Matti passes out in the water. So we get him out....hes not breathing. Dan goes and sits at the other end of the pool. Thank god Colby was in the Coast Guard (I guess i got a thing for men in the military, huh? lol) or else I think matti would of went to the hospital. Actually Dan wanted us to take him. But Colby got him breathing again. After that I went to see if Dan was OK and he was basically passed out in the water.....face all the way in. I sat him up and told him to get out. He went back to the apartment and I followed him to make sure he was ok. He went to bed and I went to the pool. We all found out clothes.....Colbys pants were in the bushes.....WTF right? lol Went back and chilled on Dans porch with Colby & Eric the nieghbor and Matti. Erich the bartender and his friend came over. They all looked at my pictures and we talked and shit. They told me that I wasnt allowed to leave the next day. Colby offered to pay for the ticket, and let me stay with him. Let me tell you, I couldve LOVED to. (he was gorgeous!) But Around 3:30 everyone decided to leave. They said we werent leaving so they werent saying good bye. lol Good night kisses from Colby and they were gone. :'( In for bed. Woke up at 7:30 am and left....still drunk. Got on the bus....still drunk. And left. I wanted to cry. I wanted to get off and go back to the apartment and sleep. I didnt want to leave. I still want to be there. It was the worst 3 days of my life (on the way there) followed by the greatest 8 days ever. Ive never actually went somewhere and liked it enough where I didnt want to leave. I love Eastpointe.....but going to Charleston really opened up my eyes to whats out there. The people down there are the greatest. Their all so nice and caring. The atmosphere is awesome. The weathers gorgeous and everyone is so open to you. I dunno....since I left all I can think about it when I go back. I feel so bad for the people who were supposed to go and didnt....I mean they missed so much. That experience straight up changed my life, changed my view on the world and everything in it. Its not even about partying.....has absolutly nothing to do with it. Its just.....Charleston is the closest thing to the place where I consider it "perfect" that it amazed me. I am going back.....and moving there one day. No matter what happens in the future, I know that South Carolina will be part of it....

So heres to So Co 2006.....The best 8 days, with the best people, in the best place on this earth.
