8:45 PM - chip chip cheroooooo
Current mood: tired
yeah so i'm in el paso....happy as can beeeeeeee with my cory the trip here was a pain!!!!!!! it took us 2 days to drive what should have been a 12 hour trip(about 800 miles)...we left Thursday morning at about 12 am and got here on Saturday at 2 am.... 11 hours to go 1 mile......22hours to go 50 miles...but it was fun....a big adventure.....we met a lot of nice people given us food and water and there was even an elderly couple that let us use the bathroom in their R.V. which was really cool....the cops were kinda pissing us off tho cuz, first off we pulled into this gas station parking lot to find out what the fuck was going to happen next. This one cop walked up to our window and started yelling at us, he said "what the hell do you think you guys are doing. You need to get out of here, you guys can’t come in here, drive on down the road".......fuckin asshole(this is in Sealy Texas BTW) they kept lying to us sayin there was no gas and we finally found out there was at the station we parked at..at one point we waitin in line for 9 hours to get gas. And that same cop told the lady in front of us there was a gas station a few miles away that had gas, and no waiting. So we hauled ass in front of her to get down there. By the time we got down there, there was maybe 15 cars in front of us, and the lady that was originally in front of us in the other line ended up getting behind us. So Cory said " I guess lets makes some new hurricane neighbors" ,and he got out and walked to the car behind us. when there was only 5 cars ahead of us they ran out. The cops once again told us to try this other gas station about 7 miles down the road(which turned out to be about 17 miles) so we went to the other place, and the cop there told us they had just ran out 10 minutes ago so we sat there(the people that were behind us at the previous gas station that Cory had talked to followed us there in case either one of us had problems) So that lady and her daughter were joining us bitching about how the cops were jacking us around and some lady just came up and tried to get gas(apparently one of the out of order bags had come off one of the pumps, so she tried it) and she got some so we filled up the tank with my (insufficient funds) card and headed out =:-)...we came really close to having to ride the storm out in the parkin lot of Wally world (yes in the car).......we got email addresses and phone numbers of some of the people we met so we could keep in touch.......all in all it was awesome!!! I’m goin to bed now.... Cory and I will write more later hehehe, in much more detail.........
