On Friday night, me and some of my friends decided to go to Righteous Wal-Mart. Now, that requires two explanations: One is that my friends have a habit of naming Wal-Marts. Some of the names include Shitty Wal-Mart, Court Date Wal-Mart, and Beaner-Mart. The second is that Righteous Wal-Mart is in Ruston, Louisiana… about 200 miles away.
It started with one of my friends joking around about where we should go to eat, and then someone suggested we should go to Righteous Wal-Mart. When he said that, some people were like… “:O Sure, let’s go!” So, we had an impromptu roadtrip on our hands. We stopped at Taco Bell for some quick food. Upon returning to the apartment for a supply pick-up, we ran into our first snag. See, my roomate can’t have caffeine at all. It affects him really badly, causing him to get headaches and his heart rate to jump up a crapton. Apparently, some caffeine got into his Serra Mist from Taco Bell. The effects were so bad, that he had to stay at the apartment and lie down to get the stuff out of his system. (Don’t worry, he’s fine now.)
So, after that, we left on our way. On the way up there, one of my friends made some calls to arrange housing (he went to LaTech [which in in Ruston] last year before transferring over to UCA), and get some people together. We also listened to what is quite possibly the most epic playlist ever on my iPod (I’m being serious, too :P).
When we got there, we met up with one of the guys from LaTech and tours of the campus were given. We were going to do some more “in-depth” tours of the campus buildings, but the police were out in full force. We talked for a while, and then we decided to go to Huddle House (it’s like the exact same as a Waffle House, only greasier and cheaper :P), and then made the trip to Righteous Wal-Mart. After one of my friends bought a shit-ton of Lunchables and some sweet tea to drink, we sat in the Electronics department and talked some more while my friend ate (remember, this is like 3 in the morning, we’re not in anyone’s way). After a while, at around 5 AM, we finally went to bed, only to wake up at 10.
When we woke up, we went to Raising Cane’s, a restaurant that serves Chicken… and only chicken. There are about 4 different items you can order off the menu. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, as it is good chicken. Not only that, but the Cane’s sauce that you get with your food is divine. Amazing stuff.
After Cane’s we made our way back home, listening to moar epic playlist. Overall, I’d say it was a pretty nice impromptu roadtrip. :)
