Let's go for a play by play!
So, I slept in till 1:47 yesterday. Yep, that's an astounding 12 hours of sleep! I waste my extra day off from school. Blah. Today, I got up at 7:30am. Needed to be ready to walk in the parade with Tim Johnson and stuff for the young democrats. I was plastered with democrat stickers and wearing an SDSU jacks sweater. (read: I'm a sell-out for the man) At least I got 5 hours of NHS work out of it. At one point I had a large portion of the BHS marching band harassing me. Wondering just “what the fuck” I was doing. Some psycho ran at me with a Thune sticker. That was creepy. Yeah, so I was in the parade. Walking that route with a fake smile and carrying a sign that says “Students for Tim” seemed so very very wrong. I'm afraid of people, but there I was parading (ha) myself in front of hundreds of them. I managed to get ahead of a large clump of supporters, so I was walking by myself for a good part. Freaking scary.
After that, I met up with Tessa. That was a saving grace, but some stupid firefighters harassed her and she yelled “fuck you” more or less back. I hate confrontations. I was also feeling somewhat ill during the walking. Eventually I found myself at Mr. Movies. Salvation! Heh. Yeah.. So the parade ended and I attempted to drive Tessa to find her people. Driving in my car in that amount of traffic was terrible. I got stopped by the police for “not being careful.” I had been idling for 10 minutes trying to turn and then they removed blockades from in front of me. I thought the cop was being nice and letting me go. He stopped me. Fucker. In attempting to bring Tessa back to the dorms, my car stalled on Medary a little after passing Taco Johns. Thank God Medary was two lanes at that point.
People can't seem to be able to understand what emergency lights and “go around” mean. Eventually the car started and I let Tessa escape. I drove as fast as I could on backstreets in an attempt to beat my shitty car. I made it to Derdall and stalled at a stopsign. Joe Kippley happened to be behind me. Ugh.. I felt dumb. He couldn't see my emergency lights so he just sat there confused for awhile. I eventually convinced him to drive around. Eventually, the car started again. It was another race against time. Made it to an intersection behind the highschool and stalled. Luckily, it was downhill and I rolled through an intersection. Ha. Some old people looked at me funny. (Steph: “Irony!”) I tried to wait for it, but no luck. I parked it and walked home two blocks.
Yeah.. so I come home and see my mother's ran off to Sioux Falls. Great. I get a genious idea to make Maren take me to Aberdeen. No luck. She can't drive today, because it's Hobo Days. FUCK YOU SDSU! Yar.
Oh, and I just recently walked back to see if my car would start. Nope. And I didn't find true love either. Damnit. I suck at this whole journal thing.
