The Lady has returned! Ah, it's a celebration, b!tches!
Okay...Let me see if I can really relay my whole 'cation. I'll tell as much as I can recall. But I have this to say: it made me hate Delaware, and cops (oink!) even more then I already did. I didn't think it was possible with that last one!
Let me just say that I started out optimistic, and that in the end my parents actually "behaved" most of the time. They were trying to make the best of the situation, not fight, not complain too much. In the end, it was the whole state itself and it's narks that made things suckitude one-o-one. Oh, that and the weather.
LOL! What I tell you? I predicted it would suck; and there you go! I try to keep my head up, be like "maybe this time will be different" but naahhhh...Something's always has to go wrong. My dad has the worst luck, and when I'm there it spreads to me as well. We both agree, to this day, that we are more surprised when something goes right then wrong. "Oh my God, you mean something didn't go horrible awry? Well I'll be goddamned!"
Things started out not too horrible. I took Hewie up to the boarding place Monday morning. I felt so bad, like I betraying my little boy's trust or something. I couldn't help but feel I was abandoning him...I could only imagine what he thought when he was there, like he was back at the shelter. In the end, it was really for the best. Two dogs would have been too much to deal with where we were going and doing, especially since the situation turned into such sh!te. He would have been hot, crammed into everything, worried about, it wasn't worth it.
At least that was no hassle, though I did get lost on the way. I knew where it was, but since I've never driven there before it was a bit sketchy. I found it easily enough, though. Then I just showed them his shelter vaccine records, gave them his stuff, his food, favorite toys, and gave my baby-boy a kiss goodbye. He didn't want to go! He was being dragged into the kennel, it broke my heart... (He's sitting at my feet right now, what a relief!)
After which I then drove down and dropped off his crate, some more of his food, and some more toys at my sister's. Then got home at around eight in the morning. It was then a mad rush to pack everything else I needed, more of the dog's things, more of my things, my DS, some magazines, CDs, ect, ect...Gone by around nine. I somehow fit breakfast in there.
My niece wasn't so bad on the trip down, thank you Jesus. What got more on my nerves was how cramped it was in the car with her there, the car seat digging into my arm. And the fact that I couldn't even pet, touch, or talk to my own dog whom was sitting on the other side. That pissed me off. I wanted to be with her. I feel so naked without at least one of my dogs.
Finally we met my sis at a Burger King, where we got rid of the brat. (LOL! What? I don't like kids, sorry...) And I got a shake...Mmmm, BK shakes are the best. It was hot at the time, and I sat outside with Spooky while they ate inside. I didn't feel right letting her outside alone when it was so hot out, so I just sat in the shade that was the car. (Hey, I enjoy her company most of all, so no loss there!)
Rest of the way there was my girl and I, and we found the place easily enough. We were surprised to find it was (gasp!) half decent! We were the only few there, and we had most of the whole locale to ourselves. Just how we like it, the fewer the better, and that's a vacation to me in itself! Basically it was a campground, but we stayed in one of the tiny cottages. Spooky made herself at home right away, because she just loved the fact there were some motherhumping huge squirrels there. Good Jesus were there ever a lot of big damn squirrels...
Then we had a nice big fire, and we had dinner, and I got totally wasted on Bacardi Big Apple. I mean, I was screwed up. Wooot! I had only three, so I guess it messes me up faster then the wine coolers. LOL, but that's what I wanted. Freaking falling over and sh!t. XD
I ate junk, chips and cookies, then went to sleep. Hey, during vacation, I eat just whatever. I'm not destroying my enjoyment for anything. Eating like a horse is part of the fun, am I right dawgs?
The next day (Tuesday) was when things started to be Sucksville: population, us. The day started off nice enough, though Spooky wouldn't eat and there's this thing on her toe that she won't leave alone. I think she got stung by a bee. Though her not eating is no surprise, anything happens that's out of the ordinarily, she won't touch it. She didn't touch it the whole trip, she ate some raw hamburger but that was all. God knows how much weight she lost. Aw well, sucks to be her. Damn little b!tch shouldn't be so freaking picky... >_>
So we made a plan to try and take Spook to the beach with us. I printed out a paper that had a list of places you could take a dog in the summer. I know in the off-season (starts in September, ends in May) it can be when and wherever. But I guess I couldn't find it, or didn't know where it was. We ended up doing more driving about then intended. To top it off, the weather was horrible. It was cloudy and chilly, going swimming was out of the question. It came more about just getting her out there.
Weeeeelll, guess what? While passing through some rinky-dink, hick-town, he got stopped by a pig-whoops! I mean cop, scuse me...And proceeded to tell him he was going forty-one in a twenty-five, and being a typical pig by explaining it in a smart-ass, pr!ck-ish manner. He gave him a seventy-five dollar fine! Oh, was he ever pissed. He hadn't gotten a ticket in twenty-five years, and he had to go down there to Delaware in some hick town to get one. He started verbally attacking the pig, and Spooky was barking at him, and I was praising her. XD
Then the pig let us go. And that ruined our vacation, and I'll tell you why. I it does not take much to piss off and irritate my dad. This is all we talked about, why it happened, how, and about paying for it. We also would have to go back a day early (I actually came back Wednesday night, but didn't really go on the net) because we now couldn't afford to stay another night.
Now I know what you're thinking. "Oh, it's just a speeding ticket." or "He was just doing his job." or "He shouldn't have been going that fast." But listen here: that's a lot of money for us. He's going to have a hard time paying that off, and he shouldn't have to. Actually, he's debating whether he should. He's thinking of just blowing them off. What are they gonna do? Come get him? I hardly think so. Second, he wasn't going that fast for what it was, just off of a highway, and he was too busy being confused to know what was going on, which direction to take, ect. All the cars speeding past us were going far faster! And they lived there!
That's another thing, we weren't from around there. Um, dur? Mister piggy? Oink, oink, mind taking your face out of the donut box for like, a minute, and seeing that? I can understand stopping us and giving a warning, but a ticket? A ticket for an old guy who hadn't gotten one in so long and wasn't even going that fast? WTF? It didn't help that he was being such a wise-ass little pr!ck, son of a b!tch...! Why'd he have to go and do that? Why did he have to f*ck everything up? One thing I can't stand is when you make/have plans and somebody has to be retarded or inconsiderate and screw them up, f*ck everything that you worked so hard for-GRRRRR! I HATE THAT PIG-F*CKER! :evil:
As you can tell, I, and my family, have never been good with authority figures. All they've ever done is be rude, smart-asses that are always busting the wrong people, sneaky, underhanded people who are on a power-trip because they have authority and you don't. It doesn't help that we tend to do things that we uh...Probably shouldn't. F*ck cops, f*ck 'em all, kill 'em all, kill all the cops...! :twisted:
...Yea, Hazzy is not a fan of them. :D
After officer a-hole got down f*cking everything up, we dicked around for a little bit at some museum (with doggy in car) then tried to find out more about a beach. There was one that allowed dogs to be there after 5:30, but you needed to by a license from there, first....Uhhh, okay. Kind of stupid, but I'll do it. It was only five bucks. So I got her that, but the problem was it was still early. What could we do until then? We walked around for a little bit, got something to eat, I ate outside with her.
This is when things start getting more hectic. My dad doesn't know what to do, he's just driving around. He starts yelling about everything. This is what kills me. Delaware is full of narks, I hate narks. We were in this small beach town called Dewey, and there were signs everywhere regulating everything. No parking everywhere, no this, no that...At this point, we were terrified to do anything in fear of another ticket. We kept driving, and tried to go to this one park...Freaking eight dollars just to get in! What!? Eight dollars just to go to a state park!? I got news for you buddy: in PA, you just park and walk in. No toll booths or bullsh!t, it's a park. Not some freaking concert for God's sake. Couldn't afford that, either. Welp, had to turn around! Since when do you have to pay for everything you do? That was utterly and totally ridiculous...and it was the last straw. Another thing we couldn't do.
He starts yelling again, and at that point I just had to get away lest somebody die, so I told him and my mom to go do something while I walked around this pretentious little town that charged for you to practically breathe. They finally found some meters and I got out with my dog, and was very glad to get away.
As I walked about town...I actually started to feel depressed. There were all these kids who looked like they just got out from high school, girls and boys my age...And they all looked like they were having such a fun time. Drinking, partying, being with their girl or boyfriends. All the while I'm stuck there with my parents, whom I wanted to shed and be rid of, but I can't...These kids are out spending God's knows how much money, probably f*cking like rabbits, being at the beach. Hazzy can't even have the latter without it turning to crap. Oh, and all the girls are so much more attractive and skinnier then I am, of course, and I don't think a single guy looked at me. Needless to say, the whole walk just made me feel like a piece of trash.
Eventually, five-thirty rolled around and I took Spooky towards the beach. They went off and got some coffee, or at least she said they did. All I know is that my mom was drunk as hell when they got back. I don't blame her, I was going to be when I got back, that was for damn sure. I had to keep Spooky on a leash, which was a pain in the ass even with the big, long leash I had for her. But she enjoyed it, and that makes me happy. She jumped around, ran around, went into the surf and jumped back when a wave came along. She then procedded to try and destroy the frisbee I just bought her. LOL! She made me laugh so hard and smile so much, it was the high point of my whole vacation, still.
Despite the crappy, windy, cloudy weather, I was willing to stay as long as she was. Problem was, two dogs that were also walking the beach (a Great Dane and a Golden Retriever) disappeared behind the dunes to leave. She loves to meet other dogs, so all she did for a half hour after we got there was sit there and whine to go out there. Finally I caved and walked back, and she had this confused "where'd they go?" look on her face. Heh, gave me a good laugh.
After which they came back, and we left back to the place. Officially pissed off with the whole situation and state. We had another fire, got wasted again, and ate like neighs-neighs...again. Good fun! I slept good that night, that's for sure. Hazzy sleeps like a rock, baby!
I was actually kind of glad we were leaving the next day. The whole place had angered and enraged me...Everytime you tried to have at least a little bit of fun, get something accomplished, there was some regulation against it or the weather wasn't in our favor. Wouldn't you know it, the day we were leaving it got sunnier out! LOL, how's that for irony!? What did I tell you? It's like No Leaf Clover, baby. Just like the 'tallica song says.
Okay, well, we tried to make the best out of the next day. We got up early, packed and left, and drove down to the Ocean City, MD boardwalk. Again, teens everywhere. One guy even cat-called the woman walking behind me...Heh, behind me...Thanks alot, you bastard...We made it quick, though, as I didn't want to leave her in the car long. The weather was starting to get hot. So we beat it back, went out to eat at an Outback (Hazzy loves Outback!) and took the hell off. We got back at about nine.
Not too long after arriving, I went back to go get Hewie at my sister's. Poor little thing never looked so excited. We relayed stories, then I took off again back home. It's actually nice to be back in this dump, at least it's familiar. :P
That vacation made me realize I really need a man. I mean...I really need one. So I could go on vacation with him and have fun for once. They tend to have the worst luck, maybe somebody else's for once might work better for me. That and...you know, financial help...and nookie...
Lots and lots of nookie. Ohhh, yes...God, where can I get one? (Sad sigh) Maybe I should "pull a Riccardo" and run somebody's car off the road, kill it's inhabitants and steal away with the hot guy with a big **** in the back seat...?
Another thing is that I now know that Delaware is full of narks. And that's why I'm not a big fan of going back. Though I probably will one day. Hell, Spooky now has a dog license for the place, it might be nice to go back to the beach on a much nicer, hoter day in the future...And I might as well get one of those parking permits while I'm at it...And a boyfriend.
(Cries) What I tell 'ya? My vacations always suck... :P
...It's good to be back with me homies. XD
