I just got home not too long ago from New York, where I visited a friend (Amber Newman) with Fro and Charlie Nemes. I figured that posting all three days of our visit at once was a bit excessive... so I'm gonna sift it down to three parts, one for each day. This first one, the arrival- is how we got to her house, and what we did (and didn't) on our first day there.
Note: For certain reasons, I'm saying fuck it- and I'm going to mention every little detail, every name, and everything that happened, and everyone who did something with/to us.
Early Friday morning, Fro (who had just got off of work at Kraftmaid) picked me up from my house. From there, we got Charlie Nemes. After we started our road trip, we stopped at a McDonalds directly inside of PA. We ordered our food, ate- and set back off (and I found a lucky rabbits foot in the parking lot, still have it now). After about an hour or so... those two breakfast burrtios started taking their affect.
I started getting gas so intense that we actually sniffed the seat afterwards and it smelled like something had curled up and died there, it fucking disgusting beyond belief.
When we got into NY- we crossed this bridge, and the view was fucking incredible. It was so amazing and pretty, it was unlike anything I (or anyone else in the vehicle) had seen.
After got to where we were supposed to heading, I started giving shitty direction... in which we ended up at a Citgo asking for help. We got in, asked the cashier- who spoke broken English, and began to leave when this guy buying piss-water (Monster) asked where we were headed. We told him, and he had NO idea but then asked "What, none of you guys have a GPS Phone or anything?", to which I thought "Does he know that we're three random kids from Ohio, lost in NY?", well- the lady overheard us mention Hopewell Junction and gave us something to go on. During the rest of our ride trying to find the house I just kept talking about how I was gonna burn down that guy's house because he asked if we had a GPS phone.
Nearing our place, we stopped by another Citgo and Fro asked for directions while Charlie and I bought drinks. Soon after, we set back off. As we neared this gas station "Stewarts", we saw Amber run across the street with her friend Tiffany, and her little sister Jamie. We turned the car around, and we procedded to yell at Fro- who started yelling back at us, because he didn't know where we were really going.
Eventually, we came up and talked to Amber (and her friends) and then we (Fro, Charlie and I) headed out to Amber's home. The directions I had said "First tan house on the left", well I didn't know which direction they meant... so we took the first tan house we saw, which was on the right.
We stood underneath their garage awning, and a lady pulled in and walked inside briskly. A moment later, a man (Angrily) walked out, and rudely asked who we were and what we were looking for. We explained and it turns out that it WASN'T Amber's home, it was just some random tan house. Even after we apologized, he kinda just stared at us. The more I think of it, he looked like Mike Watt from The Minutemen.
Somehow, we found Amber's house- which wasn't TOO hard to miss, actually. We walked in, met her mom (nicest lady ever, as well as funny) and kinda sat around talking to her, until Amber showed up. All the while before Amber showed up, I seemed to be the only one comfortable. Fro and Charlie seemed a bit uncomfortable, so I started involving them with all conversations. After Amber showed up... we just kinda sat around. Amber didn't really speak to any of us, actually. It was funny, in a way. We came over 400 Miles, and we'd spoken more to her mother more than her.
As the night wore on, we went to Wal-Mart... bought Bisquick and just kinda hung around Amber's home. We talked to her dad and mom some more, who we all agreed were probably the coolest parents ever (next to Cameron's, at least). Fro fell asleep quite quickly. Charlie and I (left to our boredom, while everyone else slept) took a walk around the neighborhood, just talking. We came back in around 1, and fell asleep.
