Just Drive

Last night, after work, I was not in the mood to go home. So I decided to drive for a while, I had a full tank of gas and a bit of an urge to get myself lost. But my first hope was to find a friend to talk to. I texted Chloe, she wasn't home; I knew Sarah wasn't home; and I drove by Abby's house and didn't see her car so I knew she wasn't home either (yeah I'm a creeper...). So I drove.

I took the back roads to Delaware, and once there, drove by my old house and then over to Silverside, which I followed for a while before turning on to some road that took me up to 202 South. I followed 202 until it split into 95, and I turned around and went all the way back. I turned down to take the far-side of Smithbridge, I went over the bridge and kept following the road. I decided to turn around after I started to get a little freaked out; it was dark, the road was both hilly and curvy (which is all well and good in the sunlight, but in the dark it's disconcerting), and I was alone. From how far I had taken the road, it took me almost 20 minutes to get back over 202 and then to my house. By this point I had been driving for over an hour. It wasn't much of an adventure, but the time had passed quickly and it felt so good to drive again.

I kind of want to go driving again tonight, but perhaps I should deter myself due to the unfortunate conditions of the road. Haha, we'll see.
