I gathered up my nickle rolls and walked 2 miles to the nearest cineplex to see Jurrasic park 3 because my friend told me the J&SBSB trailer was playing. I plop down my rolls (not the ones attached to me, those I'll plop down when I reach the seats) and the dickhead ticket booth guy counts every single nickle to make sure that all 10 bucks was there before he gave me my 2 quarters change. I rush to my seat and see a fantastic movie trailer, I mean, I really can't wait for this flick, guys and gals. Then these big stupid dinasaurs came on the screen and they made funny noises at me and it didn't make me laugh but it made me feel scared so I left the theater. I was really happy after seeing such a funny trailer and I thought that if I imitated the hitch hiking trick, I would A) Get a ride home, B) Get to tell all of my friends how much I'm like Jay from the movies and C) Please some lonely old man. It was set in my mind, it was a promise to myself.... I was going to do it, the first car that stopped. My thumb was out and my mouth was open as a gray, 89 buik regal pulls up, very similar to the one that my dad drives. After that moment I hear, "Andy, what the hell are you doing hitch hiking, it's dangerous". It WAS the one that my father drives. I told my dad that I didn't have money for a cab, but thanks for picking me up, and I asked him to please forgive me for whatever happens next but he's the one that told me to never make any promises that you can't keep. SCREEEETCH, the car stops, and to make a long story short, I'm at an Internet Cafe right now with all of my belongings. My friends all turned on me when they heard the story so I have nowhere to stay. All the money I have in the world is the last roll of nickles sitting on top of this computer desk so I'm wondering how I'm going to pay him the $5 for the half an hour that I've been on here writing to you. Does that trick only work for hitchiking?
