Uh. I don't know where to begin.
Friday night was it? Who knows anymore, I've been thinking its 9:00pm since 7:00am. Friday my friend came over with people I didn't know and probably wouldn't see again. But they were cool and brought me presents. I wasn't going to, but someone dared me to drink an entire bottle of whiskey. Twenty minutes of drinking and three hours of blackness later, I made ten dollars. Go me.
This was probably one of the dumber things I've done. However in comparison to lets say the Beer-Cereal incident or the Lets Steal Beer Im Bored incident, or even the Lets Take A Whole Lot of This Cuz It Made You Feel Wierd, this day rates only about a 4 on the Hnat-Pilepepski Stupidity Scale. (If you don't know about those incidents, its because you're not one of the super people)
Ill planned, poorly executed, and yet hardcore, we're going to the beach.
Next day
8:45. Direct sandal hit to snooze button on alarm clock without knocking over clock.
8:54. Another brilliant shot
9:03. Out of sandals, got up and turned it off and took a shower.
Ah the wonderful world of train travel.
So andrei and were off to little silver. Andrei drove over in the volvo of doom station wagon and we got there nice and early. Bought our tickets at this nifty machine thing and then played cards. I totally rocked War, I was a beast. But then I had my ass handed to me in Egyptian Rat Screw. Oh and some lady gave us a rasberry snapple cuz her husband was trying to be nice but forgot to buy a diet one. Fuck it, shit from strangers rocks. From there on, I knew it was gonna be a good day.
Okay, when we got on the train, it was like 10 or something. Ah 10:27, or something like that. In our car, they were a bunch of guys, plastered at 10 in the morning. They were yelling, "YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE BOAT RACE! ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY MAN! YEAH ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY! EVERYBODY LETS SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WHY ARE WE SINGING?..." and so on. They talked to andrei and I for a bit, asking us if there was a bar near Little Silver and if we knew the name.
Guy: "Do you know bar near here? Isn't there a bar here? Whats the name?"
Me: "I'm sure theres a bar somewhere, don't know where tho."
Andrei: <Drinks our snapple>
Guy: <Refering to andrei> Did you say the name was Charlies? Yeah I've been there.
Andrei and I: What
Most amusing thing on the planet. The guy had two big cases of beer (One empty, the other almost empty), and my brain was just like, beer beer beer beer. They then proceeded to talk about how this girl had arm pit hair, and she was literally two seats away from them. She would have only needed to lean a bit to mace them. But anyway, we rode the train, transfered and what not and got to Point Pleasant.
Thanks to the fabulous NJ Transit directions, we had no idea how to walk to cait's house.
So we called cait, or cait called us.

Thanks to the fabulous NJ Transit directions, we had no idea how to walk to cait's house.
So we called cait, or cait called us.
Cait: Where are you?
Me: At the hut thing?
C: What hut thing?
Me: At the hut thing?
C: What hut thing?
Me: The train station hut thing
C: So you're at the station?
Me: Wheres purple heart avenue?
C: You're only like five minutes from the house. I'll come meet you, start walking down the street with the post office and lumber place.
Me: I see a building. Lumber? Ooo post office. I see a post office. Okay bye.
So we met up with cait and we walked to her house. Yeah fuck you NJ Transit walking directions. We met her friend Andrea and cait's grandma. Um, blank blank ( we got lunch? ) and we were in cait's room watching Waynes World (awesome). I brought some vodka and we drank that right away. Then we stole some beer from the fridge. Cait's grandma walked in one time, so andrei and andrea (hah thats still amusing) hid the beer cans behind my head. I was like, wtf is behind my head, oh beer, i should have known. Finished watching Waynes World, started playing old school video games. Scramble and Hyperchase were the shit. I totally started to own hyperchase when we went to the beach. Andrea stayed back to nap. Oh i think we fed the dog pretzels somewhere in there. Yeah the dog also got into my backpack, ate through tin foil, and ate my blueberry muffins. Yeah and big surprise the dog was sick. I was like, yeah thats what you get for eating tin foil. Andrei also was a penis and fed the dog pretzels which cait said would make it sick.
Anyway beach. Met up with cait's cousin and his stepdaughter. Her cousin Ken was real cool. His stepdaughter was a wierdo though. All anti-social and wierd. I was like, I hope I didn't seem this loser-ish to older kids when I was in eighth grade. I don't think I was. But then I don't remember much at all out of eighth grade. Okay practically nothing. I think i used to wear the same clothes. Like not dirty, I wouldn't wear them 3 days straight. But I had like 3 pairs of jeans, 3 tshirts (thrasher shirts), and one pair of shoes and a habitat hoodie. Thats what I wore. It was cleaned and back on my back. No wonder none of the richie girls would go out with me, haha. wow off topic.
Yeah the waves were pretty decent. Broke too close to shore but made me want to surf. Too bad I'm poor and don't own a surfboard. After awhile, or a short time because I couldn't sense the amount of time for the rest of the day, we went back to cait's. Blank blank again, we went to the boardwalk and watched the volleyball tournament that was supposed to be cancelled. More not remembering and we went out to the boardwalk. I played house of the dead with these shotgun things and this kid and I kicked ass. Cait played some DDR knock-off because shes a loser. Then we walked some more down to the next town and got pizza and ate it on the beach. We asked cait's whatever later (a cousin's stepdaughter? wtf is that?) to go to the boardwalk, and she was like, nooo im fineeee. and we're like sweet and we were almost around the corner to freedom and she runs up and is like i decided to come. So thus we babysat. We lost that girl so many times, for so long, because she would just wander off. At one point I thought some guy kidnapped her. No no, she just walked out of the arcade we were in and walked somewhere.
Anyway, when we got back Cait's parents were all like, we want to make sure you're not sleeping on the beach. Oh no mrs.venedam, we're going to catch the 11:36 train home. I should have also said I was black. Both equally outright lies. So cait and andrea walked us to the "train" and we looked for a spot for andrei and i to sleep. We didnt find a good one but said we'd meet cait and andrea back at this bar place around 8 the next morning.
Andrei and went around everywhere. We walked till the boardwalk ended. We walked back, wanted to sleep under the volleyball tournament like tent things but some poli had taken up residence to make sure no one stole the stuff or something.Fuck it and we just laid our stuff by this guard station and went to sleep. At one point the police in their beach golf cart did show up, I woke up and went uhhhsorryweuhhh... And the guy was just like, whatever and drove off. It got ridiculous when Andrei would be asking me the time, and everytime I said: Its nearly 12, Its nearly 2, Its nearly 5, Its nearly 6... and so on. Slept till around 4:30am when the lovely foghorn thing woke me up finally. I tried sleep again, but then andrei and i just got up and wandered around. Fought with a pepsi machine for a vanilla coke. Looked at the stupid people who got up early to try and watch a sunrise in dense fog on a cloudy day. Then we walked around the boardwalk. We would like walk, and we'd be like ah, some time should have passed. NO IT WAS FIVE MINUTES. One time it was like 3 minutes, that I thought was about 30. We eventually got some coffee and waited for cait and andrea. Finally they got their asses out of bed and we tried meeting up. Because going to where we are supposed to meet would have been silly, andrei and i walked to her street and sat on the bench on the boardwalk and we were like, they have to come out of here, we'll see them. Nope. They were on the beach by the bar. We hung out there for awhile. We were under the dock thing of this bar, we thought, oh we're close to being under the tiki bar thing, we're safe if they clean the floor. NOPE. Cait and I got drenched in cleaner. My eyes were bacteria free and lemony fresh. Anyway, around 10 we parted ways, tear tear. Cait had work. We had a train. And andrea was like, yeah I don't know. Anyway caught the train home, nothing exciting. Andrei drove home again. Get home and my mom was like, how was andy's house, and i was nearly like, what are you talking about? but thankfully i wasn't too tired...
yeah andy's beach house was nice Mom.
yeah i was gonna write another line but im so tired and hyped up on caffeine that i think my eyes are going to roll out of my head.
C: So you're at the station?
Me: Wheres purple heart avenue?
