Clunk Click, Every Laura.
The road trip is over and i'm save and sound in arizona. It was an interesting time. I got along with dad ok when he wasn't critizting me about what i eat, how i eat (not sure you can eat a burger in the car w.o making a mess) being polite etc.. I wanted to throw him out the window. The drive was long but not as long as he wanted. we drove 6 or 7 hours a day. he wanted 10..
In Virginia it poured HARD we and all the other cars and trucks pulled over. I think that was the longest part because that state is fucking huge. Tennessee was ok but dull. We went to graceland since we were near by. That place was crazy. It was a once and a life time thing that i doubt i'll ever forget. Arkanass wasn't interestig we stopped at a truck stop and i had soup that gave me stomach problems for a few days. Too bad the soup wasn't bad. We were going to stop at the Clinton Libary just for shits and giggles but according to my dad we were behind so that didn't happen. oklahoma was just about the same as arkanas except i kept signing 'oklahoma!!!' to piss off my dad. In Texas we drove alittle on route 66.. i wanted to see the old towns and such. i like weird things like that. We ate in this cafe in who knows where for breafast. It was in a small town and it looked like something out of the tv show. like the people all knew each other including the cops( all 2 of them) and would just eat and talk. I easedroped on this old man with a young cupple in their 20s. The guy was his grandson i suppose and the woman was his wife(grandson's wife) and they were from prescot, Az. The old man kept intoducing them to all the people in the cafe. It's was really cool. It was also funny to see every guy there wear a cowboy hat and boots. That night we stopped at amrillo and ate at this torest trap steak place called 'the big texan' it was on of those places where if you eat a huge steak with in a certen amount of time you get it free. here it was 72oz and cost 54 bucks if you didn't eat it all in an hour. They had a table in the middle of the room up high in front of a big clock so the whole place could watch you eat. Crazy. No body did it while we were there which was too bad but it was still good steak and a neat place. The next moring we planed on driving to a point in new mexico and stoping for the night but since it was only 3 hours from tucson we drove the whole way. It was just as bad as the Va drive. I wanted to see my new apt so badly and get the hell out of the car.
So the place is great and sarah and her mom set it up awsomely lol so now i just need my stuff for my room. we, meaning dad, painted a wall in my room blue and it looks cool even though the fumes are making our heads hurt. Tomorrow i get my bed which is a nice change from the floor. soon i will be all moved in. I don't think it's hit me that this is home now. that i don't live with my parents anymore... scaryness
well anyway the floor calls.. sleep is good..
night
