Who Doesn't Love Adventure Time?

I have never realized just how much of a knack I have for getting into strange, crazy situations. Exhibit A is going to be a sampling of my adventures over the short period of my weekend.

Friday 
I manage to procure a  phone that is functioning properly and then go to work later in the evening. After getting completely slammed at work I then proceed to try and decide what to do for the rest of the night. It turns out that I wanted to go on a road trip and I drove 45 minutes north to visit my friend, Jeremy, at the tavern that he works at for a few drinks and laughs.

Oh, you say, that isn't terribly exciting.
Well, calm down. I am only getting started.

Saturday
So Boyfriend and I decide that we are really in the mood for an outdoor adventure and we set out to tackle a seven (give or take) mile hike. Everything is perfect--it is sunny and not too hot out, there are very few people that we have to share the trail with, and we were just enjoying each others company. Then while I am taking the lead I hear this strange rustling noise and something moves out of the corner of my eye. I am so startled that I trip over myself and almost fall off of the trail down a relatively steep hill. As I turn around to figure out what happened I see what we have come face to face with.

Wild Epic Snake Boss appears.


So, of course, the first thing that Boyfriend wants to do is see the Epic Snake Boss in action so he starts poking it with a stick.

Boyfriend uses Poke. 
Wild Epic Snake Boss is pissed. 
Wild Epic Snake Boss uses Bite. 

  The whole time that Boyfriend is trying to test out Snake Boss' power, I am trying to ascertain whether or not the thing is poisonous. While warily watching the snake we decided it was either a Rattler or a Copperhead (We could hear some kind of rattling sound, but it didn't look like it had the right kind of tail. Later it was confirmed that the snake was indeed a Copperhead). Eventually, we flee the battle and continued on our way down the trail. Mind that we kept a nervous scan of the ground the rest of the way. The rest of our hike finished uneventfully and we grabbed some ice cream and then headed off to reacquaint ourselves with the real world.

I worked the closing shift at work (6pm to 2am) and had a very circular conversation with a Regular who was completely annihilated and had just gotten married. His biggest concern was that he was not going to be able to grab my butt anymore--which he was never allowed to do anyway. Then to rescue me from my boredom, and to apparently even the score because I drove up to hang out with him, Jeremy drove down to hang out with me. The DJ let us have a whole set of songs for us to listen to after all the patrons left which is actually a lot more fun than it sounds. Afterwards, we stayed up and had a few hours of intellectual badminton until we passed out.

Sunday... later than night
During the day Sunday, which was also Mother's Day, I successfully went to church and work. However, it wasn't until around 11:30, after I had gotten home, that I decided that I was going to accept a friend's invitation to her house to hang out. Little did I know then, but we were going to be awake for the next six hours, bringing us well into the realm of morning (or afternoon once we all woke up). We had many games, conversations, a discussion about testosterone, followed by a quick wrestling match to prove the testosterone theory, and just an overall fun time.

I think that this has to be the most incredible weekend that I have ever experienced in just the complete unpredictability of it all being paired in the same weekend. I am pretty sure I owe Jeremy another trip up because of his coming down again on Sunday night to hang out, but I look forward to it. I am ridiculously tired, but it is the summer time. Granted, I just heard back from my morning job and I am now officially apart of the team, but I don't feel like it is going to stop me from having a great time with people. I will just have to get a little more creative about it.
