Gibbler

Oh goodness.  I'm home.

It took us *6* hours to get to Marisa's.  Something that should have taken lie 3 at max.  At about mile 58 (she's 70 away) we were in the same spot for over an hour.  We moved like 7/10 of a mile.  At one point we went 3 miles in *3* hours.  TERRIBLE!

Of course Doreen and I were getting SO silly and had no idea what was going on and were laughing at everything.  I had no CDs in my car, so after 4 hours or so of Top 40 Z100, the songs started to loop and we got sick of it.  So we went ghetto and listened to my ipod on shuffle while Doreen held the headphones up.  WE skipped Hanson, because we HATED them at that point, and if there wasn't so much traffic on the other side, we probably would have went home.

Then Maroon 5 came on.. "Where you are seems to be... As far as an eternity.." and we just DIED laughing.  It was *too* perfect.  NSYNC's Here We Go came on and we moved a little.  At one point there was another lane open, so I went in it and Doreens like "OMG WE WENT LIKE 80 MILES NOW!" and we still didnt even hit 60 miles.  But just going 20 mph we we like "OMG SPEEDING!" and then when I got back up to like 65?  I felt like I was NASCAR.

One point we missed the Hanson song on the ipod, didn't skip it in time.  What do we hear? "...Misery...."  AHH NOO FUCK OFFF.

Doreen took random pics, but finally at 6:30 we got to Marisa's and then we peed (I had to pee from like 1 hour in) and headed off to Sayreville.  We stoped at 7-11 because Doreen and I hadn't eaten, but upon arriving there was the METS PINS ARE HERE sign on the door and i was like OMG DAVID WRIGHT and too scared to ask so Marisa asked and I got my pin and YAY <2 it.

  We saw this accident, and it was basically a car like went into the side wall.. pretty crazy accident, the shoulder was as big as another lane so maybe they fell asleep or something.  A little ways up it said "Spe d accident" on a sign (the 2nd e was out) and Doreen and I were like SPED ACCIDENT OMG HAHAHAHA since everyhing was hysterical.

The line was MASSIVE.  We cut like half of it (not even though, we jumped to the end of a line) and got in and were in the back by the sound board, and then we went near the restrooms, side of the stage (Isaac's) and were like 4 people back.  Totally clear view of Zac.

Gibbler went on at *9*  Hanson went on at *10* and played until *12* OMG.

Erin and Katie ranking: 78.
What that means? Who knows.

Of course i did my "I'm sorry for being STUPID" except the first time it was really quiet and i was REALLY loud and everyone looked at me haha.  He gave this like 5 minute speech on being quiet during the songs too and screaming afterwards. 

After the show Taylor gave some speech about music dissapearning? I dont know what that was all about.

I saw Marisa, Becky, Beckie, Keena, Mare, Sam, Shayla, Meg, Laura, Erin... I'm sure i'm forgetting people!

Then we went out to the diner and were taking a group pic, Keena's roomate was taking it and this guy came over and was like "You can get in it too, and I'll take it" and she goes "No, they're not my friends" the whole place was liike OHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-Z100 played this crazy song and I swear it was about "kill em with your nose!"
-When we first were on the highway we were behind this truck with like a construction bulldozer or something on the back, and it was going slow.  It finally changed lanes and we realized the car in front of it was the problem, it had a chair tied to the roof and some chairs in the back seat.  Going 20.
-Then we passed that and got stuck behind a lady who was like bending down and doing something while driving, and going 20.  Her bumper sticker said www.stressed.com so we decided she was trying to stress us out.  Like 20 or so minutes later, she ZOOMS past in the fast lane.  Going WAY over the limit.  Umm, etf lady? 
-The crazy thing was, in the beginning we were like "wtf we're going 20 this is lame!" and then like.. 5 hours later we were like "OMG we're going 20! YAY!"
-All the truck drivers were like waving at us and making faces.  I tried to just look straight ahead and ignore them, one guy wanted us to roll down the window and Doreen was like NOOO.
-Doreen spent like 0398492 hours trying to take a picture of this giant hand.  Finally she got it though.
-We were writing a song about how we hated Hanson.  Now we can't remember how it went, just that we rhymed knee and pee (and some other words that rhymed like that) as well as suck and just don't give a fuck.  LOL
