This weekend was the most spontaneous weekend I've ever experienced. It began on Friday with the weekly trip to the beach with Kyle and the stars filled the sky to the brim and the surrounding sky was blank to the eye. We caught the glimpse of three shooting stars. I made my wish thrice, only it wasn't quite clear what I was wishing for. The next day we made our weekly trip to Metro to see the open mic session. It was good, filled with both pleasant music and then adventures with Maximum Friendship and the Abominable Blues Snowman. Open mic ended kind of early (11 PM) and we were all metroed out so we went home. Kyle and I weren't satisfied with our remaining boredom so we planned to take a ride in the car. We waxed and waned on the possibilities of our destination between ideas such as camping in the mountains and finding empty parks. We finalized the decision to drive about nine hours away from Savannah to Fredricksburg, VA in order to be in good company. It took us about 5 minutes to decide to do this at 1 AM on a Saturday.

The adventure consisted of tasty plans and collective sleep. I won't explain this because you will know when this happens to you. It's almost like reaching nirvana, I promise. Though it was a joy ride it was more meditative than expected. Sixteen hours gives you time to think is what it boils down to. Kyle and I talked about life and not life and watched as the sun set in an upside down fashion. You could always call this a sunrise but that doesn't seem necessary.

We listened to a boatload of indie music, as well as played the occasional upbeat song to keep us awake. I'm certain no one else could have been my musical navigator as Kyle has mastered this. On the way there, when the sun rose we watched as colorful leaves hit the road and fluttered across. The trees on the side of the road became patterns of red, yellow, orange, and brown. Dilapidated barns were fenced inside barb wired gates and the sun was muted behind rain clouds.

We arrived in Fredricksburg and then drove to see Elyse and Erika at their dorm rooms. Erika was the only one awake at the time so we went to eat breakfast at Crackerbarrel and I ate fried blueberry pancakes. Kyle and Erika made attempts at the peg game on the table as we giggled over nonsensical things. In our conversation we decided that Kyle and I have the spontaneity that only fictional characters have. We then decided that our movie could only be titled "Kyle and Jenn Make an Infinite Porno List". We of course decided this because we are extremely original. We went back to Erika's dorm and Kyle slept for about three hours. Within that three hours Elyse showed up and we all talked about winter/summer plans and then Elyse left to do latin homework (how scholarly!). Kyle awoke and we got ready to go to their downtown. We spent sometime browsing shops and then walked back because Kyle and I had to head back home. We grabbed some food and then got back on the road again.

The way home was much quieter as we were exhausted from a lack of sleep. Much of what I remember is the memory of my chapped lips and my dry cough. The last few hours were the hardest. Though I was able to keep my eyes open at all times the road became somewhat blurry and I was forced to pretend I was the foot of a sewing machine sewing a pair of pants. When we finally got into Savannah the weights were lifted. We wearily climbed out of the car and made our ways straight to our beds. This was the most comforting sleep I've yet to have. I didn't have to think about anything before I closed my eyes, my mind was clear.
