Well, I just returned from Texas- actually, Shreveport. On the way home from Texas, my parents decided they wanted to go to Horseshoe (a casino in Shreveport). I stayed over at my stepsister's house with her boyfriend, Charlie while she took my parents there. What a night. Texas was.. not what I expected? All my plans were ruined. Thanks to my family wanting to leave late, I didn't get to do the things I wanted with my friends. Also, most of them had work *coughAMYcough*. I walked back and forth all night when I got to the temple for New Years. Unexpectedly ran into one of my exes. It was an unpleasant feeling. I've forgotten everything in my past, and there my past was, standing right behind me. I had so much anger and tension towards him not knowing or remembering why, yet, I couldn't leave him alone. I made new plans, and unfortunately they were supposed to be with him before I left, but he just made things worse. Once again, I had my hopes high just for them to be brought right back down. I felt like an emotional wreck, but did not dare to cry; not like I could have even if I tried. We were supposed to leave Texas at 2 PM, but plans changed, once again. Went back to the house in Keller and the oldies ate and laughed while I locked my sick self in the truck waiting for the sun to shine through the freezing cold. It was odd. I'm the type who enjoys the cold weather but for some reason I was yearning for the heat to hit me. I napped for hours and woke up to realize we still haven't left Texas yet. Pity. We finally left around 6 PM. We made it back to Louisiana around 9ish I think. I could not stand the fact that I didn't bring any cds to listen to because I wasn't able to find one good radio station. One thing I must compliment, is the architecture; astounding. The best part about my trip was probably reuniting with one of my childhood bestfriends, Amy. I also met Thy Thy and Lilian whom I've known for years, yet never met until this weekend; lovely ladies. I didn't get to spend much time with either of them. Shreveport - For some reason, when we stopped by the Circle K near Horseshoe (the casino), I couldn't stop but to think how nice the employee was. I didn't expect for Shreveport to look so.. ghetto? ..if you catch my drift. My turn in line. Although it was a small talk, I couldn't help but to say, "Man, she is.. nice.. ..for a person who works at the gas station.." I kept thinking about her. It's not everyday I meet someone like that. Anyway, I got to the house and had a small chat here and there with Charlie then I found myself questioning my feelings to someone else. It's sad that I had to ask someone else to find out how I felt. After I cleared my head, I was knocked out. I woke up around 6 something in the morning preparing to head back to my town. I felt even more miserable with all the shit that was thrown into my face all at once and on top of that, being even sicker than I was the night before. Something went wrong with my right arm since I left Texas, and it's been bothering me ever since. I slept the trip home and here I am, laying here like a bum eating junk food. The best thing I love about road trips, are the stops that I take at gas stations restocking up on my junk food.
