Road trip from Hell, Part 1
It's the night before I begin an "across the country" road trip, Arizona to New York. The longest road trip in my entire life! We drove it straight through without stopping at any sights along the way or even staying in a hotel!! Just days upon days of riding in a cramped car. I truly had no idea what kind of experience I was to behold....
So it's Thursday night, the 15th, and I have to say goodbye to my dog, Henry Waffles. I had no idea sending him to the pet sitter's house would have me crying on the side of my bed, on the floor, clutching at my chest with tears everywhere. Now I know you're thinking "what the hell? This girl is really reacting like this over a dog?"
Yes! You insensitive prick!
Sorry but I haven't been away from dog for more than hours at a time.
ANYWAY! We haven't even gotten in the car yet and the trip had already started off on a bad note. It also didn't help that right after that, before bed, I got into a huge fight with my friend. The very friend I was driving to New York!
Friday the 16th is when this road trip officially began. After many glares and pure cold shoulder antics we finally jotted down in a mini notebook that was in the car and made up through back and forth notes. Ya know, so the other person in the car couldn't be all up in our bidness! So the fights hashed out and over. Now things are going great, well up until I take my turn of driving. I'm driving maybe 10 minutes and I get pulled over and clocked at like 105 mph. Oops! When the cop asked if I knew how fast I was going I could only think to say "um, maybe 10 or 20 over". In my head it sounded ridiculous so out loud I can only imagine what I sounded like! *cringe*
"Step out of the car miss" he replies back. Now I don't know if you've ever interacted with a traffic cop before but getting out of the car is not good. And also, when I get nervous or embarrassed I tend to get all smiley and laugh at everything like its a knock knock joke. (I used knock knock as an example so you could see that my laugh isn't quite hysterical but not as small as a chuckle. That's how I laugh at knock knock jokes and as you should be laughing as well, it's just good manners.)
Back to standing outside with a cop, having a discussion right in front of his flashing squad car. He informed me that I was driving just fast enough to land me in jail for the night! All I could do was laugh and say "uh oh!"....
.....to be continued.
