Beautiful Scandelous Night

I am dead tired, but this day has been somewhat ridiculous. Some might say "worst day ever," I say most eventful day ever. Today was longer than day 2 of Young Life Camp, longer than James Bonar's 4 hours engineering class, longer than, than, than something really long. Lets start in the beginning...I woke up today with Derek and James sleeping on the floor in my room at 8:30, they left for class and I went back to sleep briefly. After running some errands and changing a load of laundry left over from fall weekend I get a phone call from Derek, we are supposed to go to one of our friends houses in Westchester for some turkey and turkey sides dishes. He tells me that he is at the marathon at the Michel exit and his car is over heating or something. So I drive down to get him and we check out his car. He has either a cracked head or a blown head gasket. If it's a cracked head we are blowing up his car on December 8. If it's a blown head gasket we are taking it to Hamilton and rebuilding the engine. So anyways we decide that if we load it up with antifreeze it can make it to my house. After getting to my house we leave for Lora's in Westchester to try to recover a little bit while eating some delicious turkey. It was good except for they ran out of turkey, I got like one bite and Derek didn't get any. Around 5:30 we decided to head back home since we were going to watch Marshall at UC starting at 7. When we get to my house to pick up stuff for my soccer game later we get a call from the girl who has organized this Marshall thing and she tells us that she got it wrong and they aren't showing the movie. She is staying home and going to bed and Leah, the other girl we were going to hang out with, is going to her house in Fairfield. So whatever, except that Shohn is already in Clifton waiting to find out what we are going to do. We decide to drive down there and eat some Chipotle while we figure out what we are going to do. I had a soccer game at 8:45 so they decide to come watch me play soccer and hang out. At this point I am still fairly excited. We are maybe the number one team in our league and tonight we were playing the likely contender for that spot. It should have been a good game, except most of our team went home for the holiday and I guess most of their team didn't. Long story short we were winning till they did there first line change, then it was a losing battle from then on. We just got tired and sloppy, it was an embarrassment really, I won't speak more on that. After the game we go down to Newport to watch Happy Feet, which is awesome if you haven't seen it, with another one of our friends. After Happy Feet, we all go to the Skyline in Newport to recover a little bit from the events of the day. At this point I am think that everything is winding down. I'll take Shohn and Derek back this Shohn's car and I'll drive home, I'll get home around 3 and go to sleep. That just wasn't to be. When I finally drive back to Clifton and drop them off I get about half way home on 71 before my phone rings. It was Derek, Shohn had lost the key to his car! So I drive back to Clifton, again, to pick them up. When we decide that his key isn't in my car and can't be found anywhere I get nominated to drive them all the way to Shohn's house in Hamilton to pick up a spare key and then drive them all the way back to Clifton. An hour later I was back on 71 exactly where I had been the hour before that. When I got off the exit 2 miles from my house, I did a U turn to avoid a light and, of course, at 4 in the morning I got pulled over. Why not? So the cop asked me what I had been doing. I asked him if he wanted the long or the short version. He asked for the long version, BIG mistake... So I basically told him the story from Chipotle on. He asked me if I had been drinking, if I have any weapons in the car, and where I am headed. I say no, yes this pocket knife right here, and to my house about 2 miles from here. After checking my insurance and all that jazz he told me to have a happy Thanksgiving. Ok, honestly I didn't even care if I got a ticket. I surely earned it at some point in my nearly 190 miles of driving today. So that's pretty much it, I guess I left out a few parts including the trip to Walmart, the girl at the Kiosk, the 10 people we met at Skyline, and some other even more minor things, but you generally get the idea. I can't wait to wake up in a few hours to go hunting. Maybe this year I should just stay in bed and do nothing except be thankful, what a novel idea. So now I am going to bed, at 5:20 int he AM. This is the latest I have stayed up in almost a year.
