Didn't plan on it. Didn't really even want to do anything. Didn't really think Carbondale had many cool things to do.
But, oh, was I wrong.
I've started to hang out with a particular group of kids. They're pretty chill, mostly guys and 1 girl and we just hang. Not much crazy, cool, exciting, blog worthy things, but just, you know, hang. And I love it.
Tonight after work I got a text from one of them saying how they planned on going out that night. On a Tuesday? Like for real? I'm too old for that shit. But I cave. Ok. Count me in.
So I go, pick up another friend and we meet at a local bar. On a Tuesday. Wtf, am i doing? ok, i won't stay long. We're waiting for the others to show, one guy ditches and I start to think oh man. this is gonna be lame, i don't know anyone, why am i here when i could be sleeping… But the majority of the crew shows and we're watching people play pool, and chit chatting. A few go outside and then I follow. Randomly one of the guys goes, "Dude. Let's go on that roof top."
What? The roof? Seriously? What???
So he motions for us to follow and we blindly follow this guy. He leads us to the back outside patio area of the bar, to a fence with a gate and we go out, into an alley and he climbs the fence and shimmies his way onto this rather low roof top.
Umm ok? So I climb. In my sandals. (I gotta start wearing real shoes, my feet are getting torn up out here from broken glass to roof tops) I get to the top and we start walking on the roof hiding from the other bar go-ers, just checking it out. One of them goes, oh shit, they can totally see us. So we drop like idiots thinking ya if we just duck nobody can see us.
Mind you, I'm not that close with any of them, I'm just here to be social. If we get caught they're leaving my ass behind and I'm going to get stuck in trouble. Also…I'm not particularly found of heights. Solid.
But anyway, we realize no one is making a fuss so if we were seen they didn't care. And so we just sat up there, talking and chilling and seeing how far we could go on just roof tops. We're next to a street corner though so not that far. But it was super cool up there, not because of the view, as the tallest building I think is maybe 4 stories and that's pushing it, but it was exhilarating and totally random and just super cool. Writing it all down definitely makes it sound less cool than it was but I promise you, it was awesome. We jumped between buildings which, totally freaked me out and it took some coaxing on their part to get me to do it (ok, a lot, that gap was way smaller than it seemed but I was scared) and thought about throwing our beer bottles at random things and people to confuse the shit out of them (we didn't though, i swear) and it was just ugh, i can't say this enough, just so cool. I love times when you don't plan anything, awesomeness just happens. and memories are made and just as fast as it happened it's over.
So that was my Tuesday night. Pretty solid Tuesday night if you ask me.
Sorry for the random ramble I just wrote but you'll get over it. It's my blog and I couldn't just not document this. Literally too cool. (as if I don't say cool enough.)
To be continued!
