| Special Entry:
Yesterday, June 26th, 2004 sucked. Devan, Dylan, Amy, Shawn, SteveO, + I all decided on going to the Hamilton Mall [a normally 30 minute drive from my home]. A delayed start due to work + having to do chores before us leaving, we were on our way. SteveO drove his explorer along with Dylan, Shawn, + Amy. In Devan's car was just him + me. Any other day, Devan + I would have our cell phones, or at least I would, but Devan left both at his house. So we're driving + SteveO is super far ahead like usual, + Devan asks me if I hear a noise. Just as I say yes, the car kicks forward + smoke pours from the hood. We pull over, jump out the car, + are stranded with no phone. I stand with the 'girl in distress' look, both arms above my head waving for 15 minutes before two nice boys pull over to offer a cell phone. We call SteveO + a tow truck. From mile 51 to 48 going south bound, from exit 48 to my house = $109.40.
Now all back to where we started, we try + figure out what happened. Meanwhile Kristin + Dungo decide to join us on our second attempt to get to the mall. This time it's Devan, Dylan, Shawn, + Dungo in SteveO's car. In Kristin's car it's Amy + me. SteveO is way ahead of us again, + he calls us when we're going past exit 48 + states, "Brit, we ran out of gas. Seriously, I'm not joking, you have to go get us gas. Oh man this sucks." We stop, pick up Shawn, + drive 4 miles to a gas station. When we were passed them on the way back, we saw them all dancing on the side of the parkway. We give them gas, + we're on our way.
We get to the mall, eat because we're all starving, + that's when I realized only like 3 people had money to spend anyway. We spend the entire 2 hours there at an emboidery stand getting two hats done. Needless to say, that machine broke during the second, which is why it took so long. We all were just waiting for something bad to happen again. It didn't. And looking back on the day now, it was kind of funny.... + kind of not.<3
