With summer break underway, my schedule has freed up. Already, I have spent the night at Josh's house, and it was a blast. Since everyone seems to flock to my house, it was nice to go over there for once. On the fourth (of June) Mom drove me out there to his house. Keep in mind, this is, I think, her third attempt at finding his house. Granted, the previous times were in the darkness of night, but we always have had trouble, and the GPS struggled with the maps of the boonies. But, thank heavens! We made it out there with no problem. I guess the third time really is the charm.
Once there, we found Josh in the driveway shooting hoops. As soon as we got there, he couldn't get a single shot in! It was hilarious to watch him try and try and try. Then somewhere along the lines, the previous night's one-on-one game between Josh and his sister's boyfriend. Josh had made fun of how he knew he was going to beat him. But then he was down by eight. (Needless to say, he did win.) He joked with us about how his sister's boyfriend would shoot the ball, because he looked more effeminate than masculine, shooting it with one arm, and dangling his wrist. Josh decided to demonstrate! It was the only shot he got in the entire time we were sitting in the driveway with my mom still in the car. We laughed so much, because the only shot he got was the one he made fun of the most, the "gay-boy" shot.
After mom left, he tried a few more shots, and then we went inside and got all my stuff settled. A mere twenty minutes into my stay, he gets a call from a friend who is stuck in Canton with no ride home. So, Josh and I hop in the car and head out to get him. About ten minutes into the drive, his phone rings. Bruce had a change of plans and he didn't need us to go get him at all! Oh, I would have been so frustrated if that had happened to me, if I were the person driving. But, it was a fun drive, I got to see the back roads from his house to Canton.
By the time we got back, dinner was being set up and we ate a delicious meal of chicken, rice, and macaroni salad. We stayed up late, until like four in the morning. His sister's friend was over (and surprise! She was an ex-girlfriend of his....). Collectively, we played guitar hero, and later, Josh played this basketball game, because I challenged him, saying I wanted to see how well he could play it. After I had tried to sleep, but couldn't, eight o'clock rolled around, and I decided to slip out and go to the bathroom and change out of my pjs. And then, suddenly, sleep hit me, and I just crashed. But of course, Josh had slept more solidly before then, and was awake when I was asleep. Eventually, after pleading for thirty more minutes (and then another thirty more minutes) I got up and indulged in pancakes his mom had made! They were delicious. Later on, we went out to his work, Goodwill, and I splurged on some old books that were in too good of condition to let just sit on a shelf in a store. Then, we went out to lunch, and that was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to eat there again. Afterwords, we went to my house, and met up with the rest of the loungies as the day went on. By nine pm, Tony, Jordanne, Hayden, and Kara were all at my house with me and Josh, we watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop and hung out.
Now, camping... To pull that it was quite a stunt. Tony has a camper out at a local camp ground/lake/marina, and he works there, at the gate house often from 4pm to midnight. So, on the eighth, I picked up Jordanne, and then Josh took us out there. We staked out at the gate house until he got off work at midnight, and together, we sat around and watched Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. Later, we hung out in the trailer for some time, attempting to teach Jordi Eucher, then around two in the morning, we crashed. Morning rolled around, and I woke up when grounds keepers started their lawn mowers. Not long after, the guys went out to Giant Eagle to get some food for lunc, and Jordanne and I jumped in the showers. While the guys were gone, we cleaned up the trailer for Tony, and then upon their return, they went to the showers, and we continued cleaning! Lunch was easy, just ham sandwiches and whatever else Tony had in the fridge. Not long after, we had to rush out in order to get Jordi home in time for work. I took Tony's car and drove us to my house, got my car, left his, and took her up to her house and to work, while the guys cleaned up lunch, and closed up the awning.
So, yeah, it was a great time. And, hopefully, we can do it again over summer break!
