Bowling... and other stuff

So here it is 2:45 AM and I just finished up my homework for the coming day... yeah yeah same old, same old. Funny thing is I just finished writing up an assignment on procrastination haha...

So anyway what I really want to write about is bowling Friday night :)
It was a dark and stormy night (this is pronounced breathtakingly wonderful winter scene and tremendous driving fun) and Annie and I had to do a little persuading to drag Lindsay along since she wanted to get some sleep in order to get a head start on homework Saturday (imagine that!...). We arrived just before 11pm, and found several other Houghton students were already there. The three of us decided to join Chris Cole and Chris Morris on a lane and we quickly got down to business.... sorta. The music was loud, the black lights were on, and everyone was just having to much fun to even care about bowling scores... well mostly. (I am in a sarcastic/funny mood right now can you tell) Second frame of the first game I had two gutter balls. First frame of the second game I had two gutter balls. Both games I had over 100. Third game was cut short for lack of time but I had 94 in the 8th frame. So not a bad night for me. All 5 of us did decent actually, with the low score first game being 88 and second game low score was 96, with none of us pro bowlers or all that concerned about getting good scores. The trip home was a bit slow because of 2 inches of fresh snow since we had arrived... and the fact another car was in front of us driving slower because of the conditions (imagine that!...). I really should get over my impatience on the road... but anyway with such wonderful conditions I could not resist some late night sliding fun in Fire Hall when we got back hehe.... I would zoom down an alley 25 or 30 miles an hour and then at the empty end of the lot spin the wheel and grab the ebrake... zoom back the other way and do it again... throw it in reverse get up to speed and whip the wheel/stomp on the brake for a 180 the other direction... then mix it up with a few wildly careening S curves on the carless side of the lot... Needless to say, I had a grin a mile wide plastered to my face and Lindsay was enjoying the experience nearly as much as I was. Annie did not seem to enjoy this quite so much so I cut short the fun to bring the girls back up to Gillette... where Lindsay refused to get out of the car and Annie refastened her seatbelt after discovering there was a lack of motivation amongst us to go to bed lol. So back down to Fire Hall for more crazy driving :)
