This is to anyone who read my emo blog I posted a few weeks back.
Summary for those who havent: Boyfriend bought 2 tickets to see "Rent" at the Fox Theater in STL and ended up going on a spring break trip with the guys a week before. He calls me the night before the show to tell me that he won't be back, and to find someone else to go with me because he put the tickets in my name.
back to reality...
back to reality...
After crying and trying to figure out what flavor of ice cream would soothe me the best (butter pecan) I went home. My dad had just came back from Germany and he had all his pictures that he took to show me so we went through all of those. My camera works pretty well, I was excited about that. I ended up taking a shower and going to bed so I could wake up early and try to catch a friend last minute to go with me to STL.
Good morning sunshine....
I start calling some of my friends up that had to ask parents, they all couldn't go. It was about 11 am and I was going to have to leave in about an hour and a half when I called miss Abby Kesl. Next thing I know, Abby is at my front door and I've got my keys. Heck yeah, time to road trip!
I turn on the music and we both get pumped up. We get into Marion and see a truck at the intersection with killer hydrolics. We try to take a picture and they hang out the window and we all cause a scene. Abby didn't catch the guys in the picture, but we do have the rear bumper -- that's skill.

We get on one of the interstates and I'm weaving through traffic like a bandit when I come up next to a semi. Not anything special, but we read the side of it and it says "Ride with pride!" which is now our road trip slogan. Besides rocking out to some completely crazy songs (jock jams, spice girls, etc.) the rest of the way into STL was pretty tame.
When we got to STL it got a little crazy. (Sidenote: I've never driven to STL, or near it.) We got on a bridge and Abby completely flipped out. I found out that she was scared of bridges and heights. I calmed her down because I needed directions and we got to the theater with no problems.
Then came time to park... Abby directed me down this one way alley. We get halfway through it and meet another car, we're going the wrong way. oops! We manage to each go our separate ways with only a little bit of embarrassment on my part. So we park in the parking lot and go to get our tickets. Being the southern girls we are, we j-walk and get ahead of everybody else. We get the tickets and decide we're hungry.
Time to eat at the Bistro: a quaint little restaurant about half a block from the theater. We walk into there in our jeans & t-shirts only to find semi-casual people sitting at all the tables. So we do some quick thinking & run back to my car & change into our nice clothes. (Yes, that's right, we stripped down in downtown Saint Louis in a parking lot.) The food was amazing, we decided that we'll have to make the trip again just to eat at this restaurant.

That's Entertainment!
It was showtime, so we crossed the street and took our seats. The show was pretty cool, Mimi & Angel were both understudies and you could tell. But everyone else was amazing. I'll never see "Rent" live and not cry, it's just not in the books.

Time to get home and there is traffic everywhere. I'm trying to cross traffic to get on the interstate and there are people DANCING in the street! By the time we got out on the road I was completely stressed out and so we stopped at a gas station off the first exit. We got energy tea, stress relief tea, and I bought a pack of cigarettes (fyi: I don't smoke). Since I was on a roadtrip and trying to be adventurous I tried one inhale and gagged. So my addiction lasted a total of about 2.5 seconds.
Our Directions! Oh yeah!
I was doing just fine driving home until we got to Marion and all of a sudden I was convinced I was going to fall over asleep -- not good. So we wheeled into McDonald's and I got fries for me and Abby and I worked on those to stay awake 15 minutes to my house. I get to the exit and turn in to my street. I am driving slow because my road is dangerous at night. I get 50 yards from my house, I can see it from my steering wheel, and 5 deer run out in front of my car and stop. I scream and slam on the brakes and only manage to hit one. After I hit it all of the other deer decide they'll get out of my way and I creep into my driveway and catch my breath.
