my weekend
Right, so...I'm going to tell you about my weekend.A couple of weeks ago, I got the brilliant idea that I wanted to go to The 13th Gate. Why? I don't know. I've hated haunted houses, ghost stories, scary movies, etc. for my entire life and I just randomly decide that I want to go (and drag people with me.) So I brought the idea up with Adam and Kevin and Adam was completely excited about it- saying (I quote) "Yeah! I love haunted houses!" and Kevin was like, "uh. I hate gore." so Adam and I offered to pay for Kevin and he [eventually] agreed to go. So...last Friday, we went.
In the parking lot, Adam looks at me and smiles and says, "Wow! I've never been to a haunted house!" and Kevin and I both go, "YOU SAID YOU LOVED HAUNTED HOUSES!!" and he goes, "well, I've always wanted to go to one!" so...we went in.
We walked into the doors and paid our money and everything and the first thing was Psychosis in 3D where we walked around in 3D glasses and creepy people walked around by us. It wasn't too bad...there were some random panels that opened and people would stick their heads out and scream at you. but we survived, yay.
Well, we stood in line some more and then loaded the elevator. (The "Hellevator") I was completely expecting the top to open and someone to scream at us or a wall panel thing to open...but nothing happened. It was just really bumpy and I ran into a lot of people.
Well, we get out and start walking. The first thing we see is somewhat gory, so I am like, "close your eyes." to kevin. we keep walking and reach a hallway of doors. I looked all around and made sure all of the doors were closed and kept walking. (there was a line of people- adam, kevin, and I were in the back of the line and we were in the order of Adam, me, then Kevin because I wasn't going to be first or last). Well, at the end of the hall, we were turning right so I was going left to see what was going to be around the corner. Suddenly, someone opens the door RIGHT NEXT TO ME and screams. I completely latched onto Adam and Kevin was hanging onto my purse. So...the next room was a little dark. I was avoiding looking at much because I was pretty scared...and I was hiding behind Adam. Well, the person in the room was this girl in a wheelchair and I SAW her see me. She like, pinpointed me because nobody else was scared and I was hiding behind Adam. She proceeds to go, "You have a pretty head. I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT!! GIVE ME YOUR HEAD!!!" while rolling her wheelchair back and forth and thrashing all over the place. and...the line was stopped so we had to endure this for way longer than necessary. At this point, I was still holding onto Adam and Kevin had both of his hands on my shoulders. I don't remember much after this because I was kind of trying not to look while trying to look. I just remember one guy standing against a wall going, "I'm not crazy. Why am I here? I'M NOT CRAZY."
so...after this 1st gate, Kevin goes, "no more. I'm not going through anymore of this." and we asked some lady to help us out. Well, I told Adam to keep going and we'd meet him outside. So...the 13th gate people led us outside and Kevin and I sat on the sidewalk next to these two like...11 or 12 year old girls. One of them looked at Kevin and went, "So who chickened out? you or her?" and Kevin was like, "yeah...I did." and she was like, "really? when?" and kevin was like, "uh...after the 1st gate..." and the girl was like, "oh don't worry, I chickened out after the elevator." so kevin was somewhat comforted.
Well, Adam walked out maybe half an hour later and was like, "the rest wasn't bad!! it was just the first one that was so bad because it was all real people!!" and then he was like, "okay, well, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty bad. I was last in line so I got chased by a guy with a chainsaw."
THE END. (of the 13th gate story)
After the haunted house, we went to Wal-Mart and shopped for awhile. That wasn't bad...(it was actually pretty fun). We then went to Albertson's because I was buying rose water for my mom to make Lebanese tea. Well, we got the rose water (which is in this pretty glass bottle) and we were randomly walking around the store. At the end of one of the aisles (the opposite end from where we approached the aisle), there was a cone that said "Caution: Wet Floor." So I'm walking...and suddenly I'm on my back. with a shattered bottle of rose water on the floor next to me. Turns out somebody broke a bottle of olive oil (which isn't slippery at all) and it suffices to put a cone telling the customers that there is a wet floor. So I get up and Kevin and Adam are both gawking at me and being like, "ARE YOU OKAY!?!!?" and I'm like, "I'm fine. I need more rose water." Well...I look at my arm (I was wearing a sweater) and it is soaked with rose water (UGH. so I REEK of roses) and has a ton of bits of shattered glass. I also look at my hand which has begun bleeding all over the place. I'm like, "uhhh...I need a bathroom." well...we walk to the bathroom and I kind of clean up my hand...and we go buy the rosewater and leave.
(The end of meredith slipping story.)
Saturday night- We went to the LSU vs. Fresno State game. Ah, yes, it was pouring. The game was scheduled to begin at 8 and we got there at 6:30 or so...I had a poncho on, Kevin had a jacket that he thought was waterproof (but wasn't) on, and Adam had a trashbag (that only reached his waist and had a walmart bag for a hood). So it's pouring down rain and I'm holding peoples' wallets and cellphones in my pockets because I'm the only one who is dry...and nothing happens for awhile except for a bunch of students standing in the student section in the pouring rain. Well, the band walks into the stadium (YAY!) wearing their ponchos and everyone was like, "Whoo! we're going to play afterall!" so the football team got to warm up for like 10 minutes and then pregame lasted 10 minutes and the game began at about 8:30. We stayed until halftime and then left.
umm...so...I have a physics test tomorrow. and I'm about to go eat dinner. hope all is well with you.
