Freakin Creeps

Well, someone's really bad at copying and pasting, because the last post is highlighted in black. And copied from this page. The problem was, I'm positive that I clicked the "Don't stay signed in" button. Oh well.

So, today I needed to go swing dancing. People told me that the place was pretty difficult to find, but gave me instructions on where it might be. So, after waiting for something exciting to happen, I decided to leave at the time I was supposed to be at the place. The problem was that the drive was about 20 minutes, and people were waiting for me. I plug in the address into the gps device, but it doesn't appear, so I choose one near the place. How far off can 5 numbers be? So, I get in the car and drive away with frustration, because I'm a billion hours late to this thing. (This was really good music to listen to while I was driving). So, as I pulled out of the neighborhood, the gps suddenly grunted in some strange manner that didn't relate to any language at all. I looked at the device and it somehow meant "Turn here", but from then on I interpreted the grunting as the "Look at the gps because there's a turn or something going to happen".
I continued on until the freeway, and got on in a bit of a hurry. Nothing worth speeding over though. The music pretty well matched the drive; I don't know why, but it somehow seemed to be perfect for the time. It was nice and relaxing, but still upbeat and stuff, and just made me want to drive forever. So, I end up getting to the exit. Or, at least what the gps said was the exit. It said "Exit on this street right in front of you". So, I did, onto the correctly labeled street. The device grunted, and I had drifted off of the highlighted path that was necessary to follow. But it didn't matter really; I could still get to the place.

Well, eventually after driving through the lonely streets of Irvine, I made it to some business area that the gps led me to. It was extremely dark and sketchy, but a couple of cars kept circling around the circle. Or street. The street looped around in a circle. I end up counting the addresses, and they all seem to be one off. I even went inside of the parking lots and behind some buildings, but none of the numbers seemed to match up. So, I pulled out my phone and called someone, but it was out of battery. They told me to go to their house instead, so I made my way home.

Unfortunately, the gps lied to me. I was driving on the freeway, in the opposite direction this time, and the gps tells me to get off of the freeway. There's no exit, just a bridge and some walls. So, I keep going, assuming there will be an exit nearby. The highlighted path keeps changing, and over every bridge I pass (all without exits), the path changes to reflect driving on the road below the bridge rather than on the freeway. So, I followed the road and eventually got away from everything. And I survived. Yay. Unfortunately, no swing dancing. Or food.
