We were so bored tonight...like beyond normal college freshmen on a Thursday night bored. We had actually sat down for hours and studied hard core this afternoon, our room was only set up yesterday so it was immacculent, we were all talked out on the cell phones, and it was 11 pm so TV sucked. What else is there to do but go drive around Valdosta to the only places open at this hour, Steak and Shake and the SuperWalmart. But this is my life, so it had to be at least a little exciting...we called Anna and woke up her (and her roommate) and told her to come to our room with shoes, a jacket, and a scarf on, and bring her purse. Unsure of what to expect, she strolled over in her "twinkle twinkle little star" pj's, a red hoodie, and borrowed Lizzy's superlong pink scarf...won't she look pretty out in public! We all brave the freezing 50 degree weather as we walk to the parking lot, and once we reach Lizzy's car, I stole Anna's scarf and use it to blindfold her! Then we stuffed her into the backseat of the car and weave around the parking lot to distract her. First we head to the SuperWalmart, braking suddenly and screaming every chance we get...but Anna is the worst kidnap victim ever...she doesn't complain or ask questions, just sits in the seat headbanging. As a last ditch effort when we are flooring it for our normal last quarter mile strip, I scream out something about Lizzy slowing down and a cop coming after us! And I guess she was just playing along, but that girl freaked out more than Anna...but we recovered and pulled a facade about his lights being on and what should we do, then as we got to the parking lot, I advised her to slow down and pull over...Anna is flipping out at this point. Then we pull her out of the car and start to walk her "to the cop car"...or rather the enterance to Wallyworld. After about 3 people pointing and snickering, and an awkward wave to Jameson who was leaving (picture us, 2 girls in scarves in Valdosta, leading another girl blindfolded by a scarf in to a store at 11:30 at night...it looked that bad) we made it to the door and revealed the first surprise! After a half hour search for Anna's missing pictures and the discovery of the OC boys in a magazine (and now on my wall...oh lala) we ventured out once again, replacing the blindfold for another confused journey. As we are driving down Baytree, I forgot there was a hostage situation going on in our car and start to point out to Lizzy where Bayou Bill's is located, not getting the message as she thumps on my hand to shut me up. Damn, Anna knows where we are...but she things we are going to Bungalow's! So we make a slight detour into Remerton and "look for a parking spot"...now the child is spazzing. "Yall can't be that mean! I won't go in there...I'm in my pajamas. That's so mean, you wouldn't embarrass me like that..." on and on and on...so after pausing outside the door and opening the door, we laugh and head out onto the road again....When we get to Steak and Shake, we tell her we had looped back around and parked in Remerton, and that we just saw Brent, and she believes us...until we open the car and she doesn't hear a sound...oops, forgot about that factor. So once again, we unwind her and go in for a midnight snack. After my 10 minute debate if chocolate or berries make better desserts (berries won...this time), we settled into a long discussion of our periods and the "mine...mine..." birds from Finding Nemo (yea, we were surrounded by like 3 tables of guys...oops) we were just relaxing and chatting about normal things when we got a table visit. This odd lad who had been at the table next to us came over as he was leaving and said "I just wanted to come and wish you guys a good night...I'm Daniel..." Only happens to us...so I introduce myself and shake his (greasy) hand, then laugh with his cute friend (rude boy didn't introduce himself) as Daniel winks at Lizzy. (You should get mad Matt...she was totally digging him...) Okay, enough of this place, back to the car for one more kidnap adventure. Lizzy and I pretend we are going someplace great and exotic, but due to the near empty gas tank, we went as far as Oak Street parking lot and then took Anna to visit our friend, the giant football boy's punching bag! (If you haven't seen this thing, go find it one day...it's right behind the PE Complex and first set of tennis courts...great stress relief!) But instead of unblindfolding her this time to show her the surprise, I started running 10 feet back, while holding Anna's arms and flung her into the bag! What a fabulous kidnapping adventure....but you better watch out...because this is going to be a regular event and you might be next!
