Mt. Pleasant Trip...
It was fun...even though most of my time there was spent NOT hanging out with Mike Lindsay or Alan.
I get a call from Mike Lindsay at about 4:45pm yesterday afternoon, to which I drive straight to Mt. Pleasant to hang out with him, Alan, Mike Dannenberg, Greg (Two people from Waterford), Shannon, Kristen, and Liz.
I walk into the door of The Apartment, and Mike Lindsay greets me with, "Dude, we just made a video! You gotta watch it! It's called, 'BEAR JAIL'!" At that point, I remembered why I missed these people, and my face lit up like a Christmas tree.
I took a seat and watched a 20 second clip on Greg's camera of Alan and Dannenberg at a bar with a stuffed bear, and then they proceeded to pretend to beat up the bear until the bartender yelled at them to stop. This was then followed up by clips of miniature stuffed animals filmed doing things, like eating a toy hot dog, and walking alongside a fish tank. Stupid, but I was a fan.
We get dinner soon after I get in. Good ol' Little Chef...except it's too early for drunk people at that point, so it's quiet and boring. Afterwards, I stop into McDonald's and say hello to everyone I recognized, which was everybody...
We go back to The Apartment for festivities, we get about five people to come over that I've never met, and craziness ensues. After a while, festivities of a different nature come up at another apartment nearby, so all of my friends go over there. It wasn't my scene and I really didn't want to go, I offered to buy cups and ping-pong balls for beer pong. I walked to 7-11 and had a fun chat with the clerk about church socials and how they need to carry ping-pong balls, as they help with out bible studies. He's a cool guy...
Anyways, after that, I end up crashing in The Apartment until the entrie place becomes empty. After that, I decided to sober up as much as possible, which wasn't too hard considering I drank only a little a few hours prior. I walked to McDonald's, got a parfait, and got my old job back. WOO! More McDonald's for me! Thinking ahead, I told them I couldn't work 6am shifts anymore and got switched to 9am shifts! GO SLEEP!!!
Walking back, I decided to go to the casino, which I needed to anyways, since Dad gave me $20 to blow for him. He lost his money immediately, but I'm able to play my $20 for a while and left the casino up $44! GO ME!
Since sleeping in a muggy car, sleeping in a muggy apartment, and hanging out in a pot-infested apartment did not sound like fun options, I decided to leave Mt. Pleasant at 1am without saying goodbye, except to Shannon, but that's just because she's the only one in the bunch who had a phone on her. It was extremely foggy and I had a death grip on the wheel the entire time, but I made it home in one piece...at 2:30am. I was dead. I crawled in bed and crashed.
And that was my adventure.

Yeah...well, since I had fun, I consider the risk and its repercussions worth it. :)
Bear Jail sounds rather amazing, I must say.
If you're going back to the post-a-day routine to try and re-improve your writing, you might want to... er... you know, see if you can stay in one tense throughout the telling of a single story.
