i always thought my life was really boring until these past few days.
let me just start off by announcing the wonderful news to anyone who still reads this piece. lauren and i are moving out july 30th to our own apartment. all we have to do is get $1,975 to the place and we're in. yeah that's a lot of money... but we're almost there somehow! my dad is sending my dogs on august 1st, YAYYY! i miss my puppies. we got a kitten and we named him merlin. he's almost 3 1/2 months old, he's black with green eyes, and im in love with him. he's extremely playful and sweet and he loves us.
other than the 3 kick ass animals that we will have, we already have some great stuff for our apartment. we have a brand new microwave from my yaya, a coffee pot, a toaster, dishes, cups, pots and pans, some silverware, a bathmat, a shower caddy, a shower curtain, a cool purple fuzzy rug for our room, a bed, a dresser, 3 end tables, a tv, a vcr, a dvd player, a cool ass multicolored lamp with all different colored bulbs, our new computer, salt and pepper shakers, a kitchen table w/ 4 chairs, and there's some more but i dont feel like listing. all we REALLY need is a couch and maybe some chairs, a cheap ass area rug, a new tv, a computer chair, and a computer desk. wow. i'm so fucking excited, i can't even tell you.
so last night was by far the most eventful, interesting, yet SCARY night i have ever encountered in my 18 years and 364 days of life (my birthday is tomorrow). it all started after i got home from work at about nine. gayo came over and lauren was still at work. lauren came home and we went out. we decided it was going to be a kra stra and gayo night so we went to scary road 2 in lumberton. gahhh... we found it ok, but we ended up going the opposite way through it. it's this long ass bumpy road that is really really scary. the only thing is, we had never driven it ourselves.. it has always been steve or jenn. so we ended up driving the whole thing and we didnt nayha once. so we decided we'd do it on the way home. this was dennis's nayha, so we were very very very very nayha'd. so then on our way back, we decided to take route 70 home. i wish we didn't... so since i had that junk in my car, i most certainly did not want to get pulled over so i was going exactly the speed limit, 50. but that late at night on a straight road no one wants to go that slow. so everyone was up my ass, then eventually they would pass me. well, the last car to not pass me was a truck. not an 18 wheeler, but a smaller one. lauren was like, "look it's jeepers creepers" and we were kinda freaked out because he had his high beams on and was pretty up my ass. so we kept going. i couldnt fucking see a thing because his lights were shining all up in my mirrors and my eyes... so i was pissed. finally the road divided into 2 lanes, and i was like, yes, he'll pass me. so he gets to the right of me and lauren busts out my high powered flash light that i use for delivering pizzas at night and shines it all up in his face as he was passing us. this pissed him off so he cut in front of me and slammed on his brakes!! then i got to the right and sped up to get the hell away from him. i guess meanwhile he was trying to write down my tags because he was trailing behind me. then of course, the light in front of me turns red. so im like SHIT WHAT DO I DO!?!? so i take the jughandle u-turn thingie right before the light and i was gonna take that and then go right back the way i was going considering i know basically nothing about route 70. so i get in the right turn lane after making the jughandle, and the asshole goes through his red light right as mine is turning yellow and im going to make the right turn to get ahead of him...and he stops directly in front of me (a TRUCK!!) so i can't go around him. he slams his car into park and gets out. i do not know what to do. gayo and lauren are screaming to get the fuck out of there because they see him holding something... probably a fucking gun or a baseball bat or some shit. so i bust my car into reverse and go about 50mph in reverse just to get away from him... then i turned around and sped the fuck away. i know as we were busting the u-ey he was getting back in his car, and he probably was looking for us, but i was going too damn fast. we thought he might have called the cops, too, so we were extra scared..but i wasn't even afraid of the cops, because this asshole did a million things wrong, we only did one thing wrong which was to shine a light in his eyes. he was a fucker with ROAD RAGE. so then i took gayo home but this was NOT THE END OF THE SCARINESS.
so lauren and i went to brian and allan's and nayha'd some more.. watched most of kissing jessica stein, cute movie by the way.. then we went to wawa and got some hoagies and then went home to eat them. then we decided to take the ambiens that sarah gave us. we each took 2 and watched the ellen stand up thing on hbo which was fucking hiiilarious. then we played with merlin for a little while and it started kicking in. lauren goes.. "we've never driven on ambien before" and i was like YEAH!! so we went. no socks, no shoes, in sleepy clothes.. we just went. i dont remember where i drove to... but i do know that somehow we ended up at the burlington fucking center! me and lauren were shocked. we didnt take 295 but we found a back route to the burlington center. it was kinda cool! mind you..this was about...4am. we drove around the mall to get back to 541, and we saw an SUV cop. i didnt even care, because i was driving fine, i wasnt speeding or anything. the cop gets in back of me. i turn right at the light. he puts his lights on. oh fuck. he pulls me over. i didnt even CARE. i bust out my license in this daze of ambien-ness.. lauren busts out her license. he didnt even go to my window. he didnt even ask for registration or insurance. he went to lauren's window. she handed him her FOP card from her uncle, sergeant (sp?) wayne winkler... hehehehehe. he was like, wayne winkler, huh? and she goes, yeah he's my uncle. haha... he goes to the back of my car and talks to his police friend..and then asks lauren to step out of the car. i didnt even wonder what the fuck he was doing, all i was doing was looking at my expired registration and my new registration and trying to decide which one was the one i should give him. hahahaha. so anyway, lauren gets out of the car and apparently an alarm went off at chuck e. cheese's and we just happened to be driving right next to chuck e. cheese's... ok FIRST of all...who would break into a chuck e. cheese's at 4:30 in the morning!?!? and WHY?!!!!! money!?? PIZZA??? GAMES!??!?! PRIZES!??! NO!!!!!! no one would! so we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and he thought we were the perps. hehhehehehehehehehh...and he did ask us what the hell we were doing there that late.. lauren told him we were about to get an apartment for the first time and we were just driving around and talking about it because we couldnt sleep.. (GOOD JOB!) so he bought that and let us go with no problem. in fact he apologized to us. it was so funny though, how i wasn't scared at all.
ok so we kept driving..and then somehow, without even trying, we ended up at chateau apts, which is our new home. we were like...WOW! so we drove around the complex for a second.. then we started driving home. i cant believe i did it, because i dont remember. i do know that i will never drive again on ambien, because i started to think it was ok to close my eyes while i was driving. i was so fucking sleepy. i wanted to just close them for a second, and i would close them for longer than that, and lauren would be like WAKE UP! JESUS CHRIST! and somehow we got home.. and we crawled into bed at 5:30 in the morning with our little sweet merlin and went to bed. i am never doing that again.
today i have work. in about 15 minutes actually. i went there at 4 and realized i didnt have to be in for another hour so i came on here. how lucky are you?
oh yeah, tomorrow im doing the best thing for my birthday. me, lauren, jenn and steve are going to atlantic city on the beach and we're gonna shroooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!!
