The car ride from Hell.
Mar. 24th, 2005 04:52 pmI've been almost completely without internet for a week, and omg the FLIST!! Probably hundreds of entries I'm behind on >.< So I'm taking it community by community. It's ridiculous!
Yesterday as a variation of a mastercard commercial:
Hours spent in the car: 20
Minutes total I slept during the ride: 45
Miles traveled: 732.62 (Mason, Michigan to Bridgeport, Connecticut)
Average speed: 36.6 MPH
Approx. number of hours spent sitting completely still on the highway: 4
Time I got home: 5 AM
Spending 20 hours trying not to kill your siblings: Priceless
In other words: HELL. It snowed/rained/both the ENTIRE time. The standstill traffic jams were probably from accidents in addition to the weather. Though we don't really know. We played several rounds of 20 questions, though it eventually degenerated into silliness and loaves of bread (don't ask). We nearly skidded off the road several times, though at least then we were moving. We had a two hour traffic jam at about 6 PM, stopped for dinner at 8, then got back on the road, drove for a few minutes, stopped dead, and didn't really actually start moving at any sort of speed until after midnight.
I am so fried.
I'll talk about the positive things when I'm conscious :P
