so im sitting in my advanced web design class
and i realized that i can get my certification after a couple weeks in web design and i can declare it as my minor.
nice.
i love my life right now sooooo much.
everything is really good.
im with my boyfriend everyday
i love my classes so far
me and dan have biology together
my mommy isn't crazy right now
i get to learn flash
plus my mom made me french toast this morning!!!!!
the only bad thing is dealing with my hospital bills.
boo.
and my math teacher still hates me from last semester (no surprise)
so yeah i said i would post my crazy trip so i'll summarize:
oklahoma is the worst state EVER!!!!
so i had to do all the driving for all the trips that i have made in the past month because i seem to be the only person who can drive my car (cause its a stick and all)
so driving to texas was ok
visiting family in houston was REALLY great.
i love my aunt christine and my cousin shane, his baby mackenzie is sooo cute now!!!
ok so leaving texas seemed to be good cause we were making great time
but i was sooooo wrong.
haha.
so i get into oklahoma and drive a few miles and then the speed limit changes
but im too lazy to turn off the cruise control and didn't think that cops would be a problem just yet
haha wrong.
so i see this cop in the south bound traffic and i turn off the cruise control
and then i tell john "hey we're about to get pulled over"
he was confused cause the guy was on the other side of the interstate... but sure as i thought the guy pulls a cool u turn in the median and pulls up right in front of me
YES.
he jumped the gun and didn't get me on radar plus pulled in front of me
he tried slowing down, but i kept slowing down too.
haha.
so he gets pissed and then zooms off about a mile up the road and pulls over some random car
when we pass by we realize this guy is huge.
soooo happy he didn't get us!
so then its night time and i somehow manage to get off the interstate and drive for a good 40 min and then ask john how far we were from the next big town.
then we realize that the town we just passed was not on the interstate.
awesome.
haha.
so i come up with the brilliant idea that im just going to get on highway 26 that connects back to the interstate about 100 miles down the road (it is parallel to the interstate) right before we get into colorado.
bad idea.
so we are about 20 min on this road and then im driving up on some people in a field.
there are a bunch of teenage and 20 something guys beating up this kid in the field
one of the 2 trucks looked as if it was going to try and run the kid over
and me like a dumb ass goes
(mind you, while john has the dome light on)
and points at them in the field as we pass "john, oh my god, they are going to kill him"
yeah then i freak out cause they all jump in their trucks as the see me pointing at them
i floor it
and we get a good bit away and then i see two sets of headlights behind me
the rednecks
arrggg!!!
so im starting to freak out at this point and drive about 90 on a 55
we get a good while away but can still see the lights catching up with us
i see that we are coming into a town so i decide to slow down not to get a ticket
sure enough right as i get into town we pass a cop
and im going the speed limit!!!
and he does a u turn
drives behind us for about 3 or 4 min
then turns on his lights
blah!
he tells me he pulled me over for speeding
i told him i wasn't
and he said not at the time but when the speed limit was 55 it went to 45 for a period and then to 55 again and i was 55 in the 45.
bullshit
anyways then he says he pulled me over because my car looked suspicious cause the headlight was out
(which i didn't know)
and then said that my brake light was out
(which i did know)
at this point the two trucks pass by
one freaks out and turns immediately onto a side road the other one drives straight
im like... i hope this cop isn't friends with them...
so anyways he asked me to step outta the car when he came back to my car
i freaked out because i thought that i was going to get arrested for the points on my license
or worse: he's going to let the rednecks come back and do their dirty deeds...
haha but he asked me to open my trunk to search for drugs
anyways after standing out in the 20 degree weather for about 10 min and him looking thru my underwear he said i was free to go
nice... kinda
haha
so we drive and get close to an intersection
and for some reason i decide to turn on my brights so that no one can tell my headlight is out
as we get to the stop sign where we needed to make a right onto highway 180
guess whos waiting there
the rednecks...
but i think they are't very smart cause we pass by and they don't do anything.
i guess they didn't get a good look at the color of my car or my tags
only that i had a headlight out
so we got away !!!!!
nice.
so then when we are getting low on gas i opt NOT to get gas in oklahoma cause i officially hated that state
bad idea.
so we run outta gas in colorado cause none of the gas stations are open at night
weak.
boooooooooooooooooooooo!
so we made it to a gas station and just camped out till 6 in the morning.
no gas to keep the heater on so it was FREEZING
john slept but i couldn't
anyways the people at the gas station almost called the cops on us for parking at the pump before hours.
but all went well
denver was beautiful
i mean wow.
chyenne was beautiful too...
its so beautiful up north during the winter
i've never been more north than north carolina
so this was a great experience for me
plus it was relatively cheap
florida to texas to wyoming to arizona
total cost: $260
nice.
(with food included too!)
cheaper than flying... way cheaper.
visiting with john's parents was really great.
they are such great people and i love them more than my own mom and dad.
haha seriously tho, i do.
so we got home and my room was a mess but ive been working on it and its starting to get better
plus john said he didn't want to sleep in the same bed as me
(because he doesn't feel comfortable about people "living together before marriage")
but after sleeping the first night with me he slept with me again last night
so maybe he'll stay in my room with me instead of the camper?
*fingers crossed*
things are really good with us tho
and im glad to have him here with me
plus him and dan get along really good so no problems there
so now that i have written the longest post possible
im going to try and pay attention in class now.
thanks for reading this without wanting to kill me
(you don't want to kill me, right?)
