How Else Would I Start 2010?

I have been sitting here for a few min trying to start this post. I type a few words, and then I erase them. Type a few, erase. The thing is, I don’t know how to best explain how i started 2010. So I have just decided to start at the beginning and hopefully ill get enough in there to fill in the gaps.

     Well, Calvin asked me if i was going to the new years dance. I knew i had work the next morning but i thought to my self, “Self, you can go to the dance, leave right after midnight, sleep on the way home and have enough rest to work at 8 the next morning. I also figured it was my best chance at NOT sitting at home by myself for new years so i said yeah, if your driving me. He agreed. I have to admit, personally, i was thinking this was going to be beyond lame but hey, what chance did i have?  Turns out, i was right;) Well sorta….

     We left from the Beaumont Institute in Calvin’s truck. In the truck was Calvin, Judson, Lena, Me, and we picked up Sabrina. Well the night started off interesting right off the bat. We were heading out of Beaumont on I-10. We are all pretty good friends, such we cutting up and carrying on a pretty good conversation. Calvin is driving. Normally, when you are on a highway, all you should see is a tail lights right? Wrong. We look up and there are a pair of headlights staring at us! weaving through traffic!. Finally, this early partier finds his way to the side and passes us. We were stunned. Complete silence filled the truck. Of course, then everything registered and we bust up laughing and couldn't believe what had just happened.

    We finally get to where we are going. Calvin and I walk in to the dance, look for about 2 seconds, and walk back out again. They were serving pizza in the kitchen . We grabbed a piece and went and found an empty table. Then it happened. We met It.We call it “PAT!” As we were sitting down, we heard a thundering voice from behind us say “oh! i have boys at my table now!” What happened next was close to life threatening. (I’m not sure how though) “Pat” sat down and asked what my name was. I said “Dale” to which it wiittingly replied “oh! your parents must like computers!” ha…. ha…..    ha…… … …Anyways, it proceeded to ask Calvin his name and then introduced its self as Purity, but everyone called her Pat….. mmm.. not real sure about that one but anyways. Calvin had a full plate of pizza when we sat down. At this point, i look over at him and he looks like and oversized chipmunk who had tried to stuff to many pieces of pizza in his cheeks and he was leaving! GONE! he left me high and dry with IT! About the same time he left, Sabrina walked up and sat down. I figured “do unto others like they have done to you” would be a good policy on this one so i jumped ship first chance i got and left Sabrina;)

     The dance was pretty lame. Mallori finally showed up. She wanted us to come over to her place because she said that she had fireworks. Well, by then, Calvin has already informed me that he isn't driving anymore. So we head over to her house. We get there to find that there are no fireworks because her parents werent there. We finally head towards home at like 1:30 AM or so. I am still driving. About half way home, we learn that Sabrina rode up to the institute building with Andrew Stewart and that he was suppose to bring her home. Well apparently, he had decided to go “Bar Hopping”. Oh Joy. We got to the institute building and he was there waiting for us. We had already decided that if he had been drinking, we would take Sabrina home. Some people just like to be difficult and Andrew Stewart is one of them.  He wouldnt say that he hadnt been drinking. All he would say is that “its my own buisness.” Sabrina piles back in the car and we ask her where she lives. She says, LAKE CHARLES LOUISIANA!!! Then her friend asks for a ride home. Then Daniel Ross asks for a ride home. Lets just say that one long drive, a monster energy drink, and a break of dawn later, i finally got home at about 6:45 AM.

     At 7:30 AM mom wakes me up and i go to work for eight hours chopping wood. Needless to say, i slept pretty well that night. I mean honestly, how else would i start of 2010?
