Thursday, August 01, 2002 Last.night.was. great!.. heehee. I've been hanging out with Derek & friends ("Derek & friends" - easier to say than to name everyone, and since I've mentioned Derek before I think?..) a little more these days. A couple nights ago we all went and saw Austin Powers 3, and last night we went 'romping'. lol.. it was insane but great... I don't know.. I like doing insane/dangerous things (if I don't feel severely threatened or out of control) heh, so I had a lot of fun.. and it's even better when there's someone who is freaking out in the meantime.. which makes things *really* funny. ;D The guy who was sitting in the back of the car/truck (not sure what type of car it was?) was flying all over the place because he didn't have a seat belt and he would freak out everytime we wanted to do something a *little* extra-daring. There was this one steeep hill which we attempted to climb; however, first-attempt we got mid-way and the car started to roll down the hill. lol.. the guy in the backseat was freaking out - "you're going to hit a tree!! tuuurn!" Finally we got back down the hill ok - tried again - 2nd time, no luck either. I told them to backup more because we needed more speed. Heh, 3rd time - "You're going to try it again?!?!" (guy in the backseat) - we went roaring up the hill and barely made it, but we made it. :) After accomplishing that, we went back to the romping/bumps in the forest - we would go flyyying over these huge bumps in the dirt road... and alone with a seatbelt it was bad.. but I can't even imagine what it would be like without a seatbelt. Actually.... I can. ;P Derek and I decided it would be "fun" to be the ones in the backseat without seatbelts.. heh.. so the guy in the backseat was more than willing to let us switch spots... and I was loving it.. except for the times I thought I was going to die because my head went flying up into the top/side of the car. Ouch ;x It is fun in the back - free floating in mid-air when you hit a bump and then come smashing down on your butt/tailbone - I know that doesn't sound like fun, but I thought it was. Haha.. it gives me a rush, and I was semi-coming down on my funnybone I think? Except when two people are in the back, heh, yeah there's no room and we were kind of flying all over the place. Derek moved up to the seatbelt area after we all went flying over this huuuuge bump and then he came smashing down on his toes. "Stop the car! Stop the car!" ..lol.. yeah, he said he thought his "legs were broken".. which, they weren't, he just severely dislocated every toe I think. ;) Heh.. I opted to stay in the back.. until minutes later we went flying over some more huge bumps and my knee somehow flew right into my jaw.. yeah it was a little painful... then I had them stop the car and let me move up front too. Besides the crazy romping - we had another 'mission' - hehe.. to find 'THE TENT'. It was pretty late at night - 1:30 a.m.? - and no one knew where we all were (all of our cars were parked at my house and we took one car), heh, so it was a little scary being out in the middle of no where, practically, and in these dark forests where anything could happen - breaking down, hitting a tree, getting stuck in the 'sand areas', etc etc. - but we decided to go visit this tent which is in the middle of no where in this forest. Heh, there is no car with the tent or anything - and it's pretty spooky - but we wanted to figure out what the heck this tent was doing out in the middle of no where. We would drive by the tent on this little dirt road reeeally quickly.. make sure we were far-enough past this 'tent' so if the guy was a convict or something he wouldn't get out and shoot us.. then we would turn around and slowly make a stop next to the tent area (but still on the road).. haha.. we turned the music down reeeally low, and then all peered out our windows at it.. Derek started shouting out.. "HELLO?... HELLO?.." then Derek claimed he heard "footsteps!" and I started cracking up when I heard the car PEEEEL-the-heck-out-of-there and go flyyying down this small dirt road again. After that, no one wanted to go back, heh, but Derek and I had to beeeeg them to turn around because we still wanted to check it out... begging them while we were flying over these bumps - "Turn UGH! Ar OW! ound!" - finally we convinced them we needed to turn around. Even though I was begging for us to turn around, I was also saying things outloud like.. "woah.. what if he is a convict and he shoots out our tires once we get by his tent? we'd be screwed!" lol.. it was great... Derek got a small piece of wood to throw at the tent (you know, we wanted some 'action' out of the tent).. then we were driving along and I decided we needed "backup" in case he missed... but no on would get out of the car as we got closer to the tent..hehe, but finally we saw a pinecone we could grab which was right next to the door-area. Derek JUMPED out of the car, got the pinecone, and JUMPED back in... and gave me the pinecone ;D haha... now we were set... we went flyyying past the tent again (what if they're just campers trying to get some peacefulness out in the 'wilderness'? haha.. and here we are harassing them in the night..) .. made a u-turn a little ways down the road (so we could have a quick get-away).. and crept up to the tent again. Derek threw the wood and said he saw it hit the tent (but I didn't see it?) and then screamed that he "Saw the tent move!!".. which upon the guy driving TOOK OFF - Ag-ain.. I was shouting "STOP! Stop the car!".. finally they did.. and we put the car in reverse so I could throw my pinecone..haha ;) .. I threw the pinecone out of the window and completely missed the tent - ohhhh well :P ..heh.. Derek started his usual "Heeellooo?" again.. and then the other people in the car were already really freaked out so we just took off. It was a fun night overall. ;) I know that seems like I gave every-last-detail in that, ha, but that's just summing-it-up actually. I'm just happy to be making more great memories with my friends before we all head off into different directions for college. . . . babbled Lin |
