10 Days

Yesterday was not only our 17 month anniversary, but my first ever camping trip. Kelly and I went camping up in the mountains with several of our good friends last night and it was an... adventure. I can say that I did enjoy myself, but I refuse to go with the same people. Before going camping, Kelly and I met up with his mom for lunch. It was really nice and neither of us can believe that we didn't think of doing it earlier. We were picked up from my house around six and drove up to Storm Mountain. We got there to find that most of our friends had been drunk fod hours. Then the wind, rain and lightening began to pick up as we attempted to set up our brand new tent. It was truely miserable; everyone was soaking wet and going numb. It took at least half an hour to get the damn tent put up, and once it was, we all piled into cars to wait out the remainder of the storm. By the time the storm passed, everyone had piled into one car and resumed their drinking. We eventually got out and began to gossip, eat junk food and watch the sun set. Then someone had the bright idea to smoke hookah in our tent; I was one of three people who chose not to smoke. All too soon did I hear the hookah knock over and everyone screaming that they burnt two very large holes in the bottom of the tent with the coals. Kelly seemed less than pleased and I was upset that the person who knocked it over seemed to feel little remorse for her drunken actions. They then put the hookah away and built a campfire which we sat at for a while. My stomach was upset and the smoke was blowing directly at me; I had curled up into a ball for no more than twenty minutes when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I was Kelly, motioning to the tent. We went in, made ourselves a bed and attempted to fall asleep despite the roar of our beyond-drunk friends. We awoke when everyone went to bed. We only had two other people in our tent with us, but those two people decided to talk to one another loudly and make out in the most disgusting manor all night long. Now, this was a close friend that I once had a lot of respect for. She was well aware that she and her toy weren't the only ones in OUR tent and she knew that we were awake throughout all of it as well. I could not be more upset and it completely ruined the camping trip for me. We woke up, packed up and headed out. Today we shall buy a new tent.
