A Trip to New Market

So, Josh comes over to my house today and then we hop in his car and try and figure out what we're going to do. So we grab a bite to eat and then we stop into my church to see how big it is and say 'hi' to Beck. After that we go over to a movie theatre and play in the groove 2? I think that's what it was called. It's like DDR, but harder. So I start out at the novice level...and the highest I got was like 25%...so I'm not good at it, but Josh does pretty decently. So after this I make a comment about how I'd like to go over to Newmarket and meet his friends. So we're driving around the Square One parking lot trying to figure out how to get onto the highway...

...now Josh was not entirely paying attention and instead of going past the second island into the appropriate lanes he follows this random car into oncoming traffic, now luckily this was after 10pm so there weren't that many cars, but I didn't exactly know what to do when we were driving towards headlights and Josh wasn't moving out of the way. So Josh does this awesome swerve and turn sort of deal and basically does a 180. Oh, the smell of burning rubber. So for the next 10 minutes we're talking about how insane that was and playing it over and over again in our heads...and Josh kept apoligizing and I was like, dude relax.

So we get kind of lost and we turn back around the way we were coming and then make some turns and find that the highway entrance was closed, but luckily the next one was open and we got on the highway there. So we took some random detours for lack of paying attention and going the wrong way and we made a stop to see if we could figure out why the car was making weird noises. Which resulted in me learning how to turn on a car while using a clutch. So after the engine made weird noises and then settled down we took off on the highway again and made it safely to Newmarket. Were we met up with 4 of Josh's friends and just hung out until 1ish in the morning (ok, two of them went home around 12). So I got home around 2. We made it home safely and there didn't seem to be any car troubles...even though Josh kept listening for weird noises. Many laughs and much fun. It was good times.
