Well to me at least, tonight was pretty eventful even if it was just a 50 mile car ride at 3am. XD

My friend had been drinking tonight and so I took his keys away from him so he wouldn't be getting any tickets, so we went to walmart at about.... 2am this morning. After that we were almost home and he tells me, "dude, just ride around and let me get one of these cigarettes." I said ok and then the idea hit me to show him where one of my friends used to live. If anyone here knows Autauga county in Alabama, then you know how massive the county road network is. From where I live (around Chris' Barbecue) it was exactly a 49.9 mile/2 hour journey. We bypassed home (i.e. drove past it) and immediately went down county road 21. The whole reason to show my friend this was to show him the farm that a friend of mine used to live at I don't know where he lives now, but it's still a pretty cool place to see. I remember the first time I saw the place, I nearly drove clear past it. xD Anyways, it was about a good half hour drive out there to the farm and all the way I was telling my friend about the first time I had taken that drive and about the interesting facts about that road.... such as all the cool houses out in that part of town because no one really messes with anyone and everyone has firearms and trucks. ^^'

As we got there, I noticed that I had forgotten EXACTLY where the place was, but I had remembered the way there, and I drove clean past it like I did the first time. So after a quick turnaround, we realized that someone else was now living there and they had started putting up a rather high fence and new insulation. So we started driving back and I was telling him about how I used to drive down the road all fast and stuff, but now I was driving nice and easy (mellowing out FTW!), but I was still going 75 in a 45..... I don't know it just didn't feel all that fast to me, but then again the only small car I had driven were a PT Cruiser with Mopar's annoying lack of feedback in ANY definition of the word when you want to press any pedals, and a (at the time of ownership) 15 year old Ford Escort LX sport wagon that didn't know when to downshift, nor how to go over 55 mph. at the halfway point of getting to the farm my friend had to stop to relieve himself, so I pulled over, but as I was pulling off the road, we heard and felt this alarming popping sound and we both got out to check the tires and if we ran over anything. We couldn't find anything and the tires were all fine for the rest of the trip, but we're not out of the woods yet with them. There's still the morning after.

Anyways, as we were going back to the house, I had this cool thought of goind down another county road that I knew and passed a lot in the past. It had Autauga Academy located on it so I thought it wouldn't be too far of a drive so I took it. On that road is a house with the biggest deck I have seen next to a half million dollar lake house. I'm serious it's that flippin' huge O-O and the estates on that road is massive, but I still wouldn't try to rip one of them off. They are out of police jurisdiction so I think you might get your face blown off if you tried to rip someone off. Anyways as i was driving I began looking for a place to turn around since I was finally getting tired and my friend had fallen asleep in the passenger seat. I was going up the side of a hill and then found a little pull off on the shoulder that turned out to be an abandoned development. What had happened was the man who owned the property paved the roads there, but then went bankrupt, so the place just sat there with overgrown lots. My friend knew this place well and told me that this was also the place that he went to drink alcohol with a friend of his. I had no idea that THIS place was the place, but the view of it had cuaght us BOTH off guard. From that one turnoff, you could see the entirety of Prattville, Alabama. It looked magnificent in the night's darkness and shown like a city 3 times its size.

Right when I saw that view, I knew of the first place I was going to show my boyfriend before we hit the sheets, and I know he's probably going to have the same reaction I had. Just when we see it' it will be with only us two and probably after dinner as well. X3

Well here's the route we took. it was hella crazy doing this with sunglasses on at 2am, but I did it. x3 And if you're wondering why, my normal eyeglasses broke after about 6 years. our route
