User blog:Roseann Shadowflame/The Great Drive (and rest areas)

''This is like Rchie's, but it's just the drive. And I felt bored while waiting to go down to breakfast. :P''

As soon as we had gotten in the car, the dread for the 8+ hour drive had settled in on me. We had made a journey of the same length before, resulting in being only about four hours away from our destination this time (wibbly wobbly), but I still did not like the idea of sitting down for so long.

Our car doesn't exactly have a DVD player in it, so that stopped me from watching Lord of the Rings. I can't read books/look at iPads in cars because it'll make me sick. The only thing I had was my iPod.

Granted, iPods were lovely at times. They let me create music videos/stories in my head that will help me with my future writing, such as '''a certain story that shall go by with no name. heh. heh. heh heh.'''

But I knew that if I turned it up "too loud" then my family would synchronize in their yelling of displeasure at being able to hear my (beautiful, wonderful, MAGNIFICO music).

I grabbed my iPod anyway, stuck the earbuds in my ears, leaned back, and closed my eyes.

Great, this is gonna be fun.

After an hour or so, we stopped off in a (SCRAPPY) place to drop off some cucumbers for my mom's friend. (Really, really... we had too many cucumbers!) and went to get doughnets. My brother got nothing (grr, goody-goody...BLAHLALGLAG) and my sister and younger brother got mochas. I got a slushie and a doughnet (I get the doughnet 'cause I'm the good one- no actually I begged), and my mother and father got... I forget now.

Anyway, we drove for a an hour more, then stopped at a rest area.

"Group bathroom trip," my mom declares upon seeing my look of horror. I slowly stumble out of our car (the backseat. I hate the backseat) and take my mom's hand, walking slowly towards the rest area. "What?"

"A-automatic t-toilets?" I asked hesitantly, leaning backwards slowly. Automatic toilets were my nemesis, and they had been ever since they sucked lil' frankie down the drain.

"Probably. Why?"

"YOU KNOW WHY I WANT TO- oh nevermind."

So we proceeded to wellwalkinthebuildingandyaknow.

Afterwards, we walked back out, climbed in the car, and drove off.

God, I want to dream again!

Take me where I've never been

I want go there, this time I'm not scared

Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakeabl-

'"YOUR IPOD IS BREAKABLE THOUGH!" '

I sighed and paused the music, pulling the earbuds out. "What is it?"

"Turn it down."

"Why?"

"IT'S TOO LOUD!"

"Okay, fine."

I grumbled angrily as I pressed a couple of notches down on the iPod. I was only halfway up on the volume tab, and my family was listening to the radio and the SOUND OF THE SCREAMING ROAD, so I didn't see why it mattered.

I sighed and put the earbuds back in.

e-
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me...
