THUSDAY: Val came over and we hung out at my place, watching Survivor, getting pizza, and watching random channels on TV and having a great time in general!
FRIDAY: I picked up Mark from his house, and we met up with Val and Jessie at Joyce, and headed downtown. We did a ton of shit that night:
- Visited Jen at her work
- Froze our asses off walking around downtown
- Went to McDick's so I could grab some dinner (blech, it tasted like recycled donkey ass, but I was so hungry that even that seemed appetizing to me)
- Went down to English bay again
- Took a bus back to Granville
- Picked Jen up from work
- Rode the Seabus for FUN again to North Van
- Hung out in North Van for a bit
- Took the skytrain back to joyce
- Looked for the chinese guy who works in subway, who we scarred for life. He wasn't there, we think we caused him to quit and go back to his homeland and find out what a rickshaw was.
- Went to Dominoe's pizza and saw that our drawing was still up there!
Twas a crazy fuckin' night, but nothing compared to...... SATURDAY!!!!
SATURDAY: Mya had wanted to go on a roadtrip to hope for the day on saturday, but Hope was all snowed out. She then wanted to go to Squamish, but we were all wondering how badly the plans were made and stuff. And since I was supposed to be driving, I didn't think our chances of survival were too great. So I left her a message on AIM:
==============================================

MissMya2004: i wont be atending
==============================================
Yep, looks like Mya definitely wanted to go! Looks like we were gonna go to Squamish whether we wanted to or not :P :P
So Val met me at Scott Rd Stn at around 9:45, and we went to my house to make a road-trip tape! We put a LOT of Sublime on it, cause Sublime rules, and it's the ultimate roadtrip/party/everything music! My mom also made us lunch, that was pretty groovy.
We didn't finish making the tape because we were late. We met up with Mya, Mike, Brendan, and Susan at Scott Rd Stn. And off we went on the Roadtrip!
So here's what happened:
STOPPED AT VALUE VILLAGE TO PICK UP SOMETHING WARM: Mike got a sweater cause he wasnn't dressed too warmly, and Brendan got a crazy movie of some sort. I saw a bunch of crap there, like a 70's subwoofer. I didn't know they had those back then :P
WE WENT TO GET TEH BEER: Mike went in there with like 50 bucks, and came back with a box of liquid gold.
WE WENT TO GET GAS: We filled up the tank, and the total came to around $60-$70 bucks. Holy shit. Mya and Mike also picked up some food and a map.
WE PARKED BEHIND THE GAS STATION: We pulled out the map to figure out what direction Squamish was in, and how to get there. Then a scary looking cat just sat there and stared at us. It looked creepy, kinda like my livejournal icon. I videotaped it looking freaky, getting bored, and then walking away.
WE TOOK OFF TOWARDS THE MOUNTAINS: We went over Alex Fraser bridge, went through Richmond, through downtown, over Lion's Gate bridge, and into North van. I missed a turn in North Van, and turning around to get back on that turn was utter hell. HOLY SHIT the roads in north van are fucked up. We got onto the highway and off we were in the direction of Squamish. Thanks to Val and her leet map reading skills, we didn't get too lost :)
WE GOT LOST IN SOME WEIRD TOWN: I took a wrong turn somewhere and got lost in this fucked up town, where the streets were really narry and seemed to be going straight up. That was messed up, but after a while we were on our way again.
WE SEE LOTS OF COOL THINGS ON THE WAY THERE: The mountains, trees, and nature and shit were all very pretty. Val took a lot of amazing pictures.
WE ARRIVE IN SQUAMISH: Gee whiz... we get there, and we're like..... what now? There is NOTHING in Squamish except like a KFC and a few other little stores. Shitty.
WE TURN AROUND AND GO BACK TO SHANNON FALLS: We went to Shannon falls and hung out there for a while, where we took a lot of pictures, filmed some video, tried to push a giant rock into the river (I swear, it must have been bolted to the other rocks), and watched ice break off the waterfall and make a loud noise and a mini-avalanche. Mya and Mike went up into the bushed and were doing... uhhh... something in there. Then we left Shannon falls and looked for a place to drink.
WE DROVE AROUND AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD: We pocketed the beer, then went into the bushed to find a place to drink. We did, and everyone started drinking. I couldn't have anything cause I was the designated one, so I just sat there and watched everyone get drunk. Being the only one sober has its advantages though, as you'll read later on.
WE FIND ANOTHER SPOT TO DRINK: While Bman and Mike went to go take a piss, they found another awesome drinking spot. To get there, we had to climb through bushes of spiky things and it was pretty shitty and fun at the same time. Nothing like getting wacked in the face with spiky plants. We drink at the base of giant power lines, where the view was AWESOME and it was windy too. SOOOO FUCKING COLD. Brendan had the bag of chips and was so drunk, that he asked "Anyone want some chips?" while the beer bottle in his hands was tilted so beer was pouring into the bag of chips. That was funny shit.
MIKE AND BRENDAN GO INTO THE FOREST: After a while they started yelling at us to go down there, and it was really cool. Drinking spot #3. So we hang out there for a while, and drink, and Bman sees this mushroom on the tree. What happened next... you just gotta watch the video. It is hilarious.
MIKE, BRENDAN, AND MYA TAKE OFF DEEPER INTO THE FOREST: It was starting to get a bit dark and a storm was coming, so we thought it would be a good idea to start heading back. So we waited for Mike, Mya, and Bman, but they were taking a while. So we go up there and they're all lying down on a huge rock drinking and whatnot. On the way back to the van, we discovered a path right NEXT to the thick prickly bushes we climbed through earlier. Man I felt dumb. Everyone else had an excuse not to notice it cause they were drunk, but I was sober so I sure felt like an idiot! Awesome thing is, since I was the only one who was sober, I was also the only one who didn't get any battle scars ;)
WE WENT BACK TO SQUAMISH AND ATE AT WHITE SPOT: The burger I had there was really haggard. It was full of butter, and it fels like it was digesting my stomach. The fries were REALLY good though. Or maybe that was just cause I was hungry :)
BACK TO VANCOUVER WE GO!!!: When we left Squamish it was pretty dark, and going down the mountain highway was pretty creepy. It was hard to see barely anything, and lots of dipshits were speeding down like idiots. I went the speed limit, cause my van is a piece of shit, and I also feel like getting killed.
WE ENDED UP IN BURNABY: Somehow, coming off the mountain, we ended up in Burnaby by BCIT. We got to some unidentified skytrain station, and dropped Mike and Mya off there. Then we drove around for a while, following the skytrain tracks because eventually... they HAD to lead into Surrey right? We did make it back to Surrey in one pice, and dropped Brendan and Susan off at Scott Rd Stn.
ME AND VAL GO BACK TO MY HOUSE: We went back to my house, and it was only around 8:30 pm. We had an awesome time :)
I guess I can be evil sometimes... in a good way :) ;)
And that was Saturday!! All of us definitely had an excellent time, and everything worked out prefectly!!
We GOTTA go on more roadtrips more often!! :D
PS VAL RULES ;P
