Recap take one

So, I've been back in Florida for two or three weeks now. It kind of sucks. I've been sitting at my parents' house spending my time reading or watching The Office and cleaning. Which isn't all bad but, I just can't go anywhere and have been going crazy. Anyway, I'm going to recap everything that happened after Atlanta. Probably in parts. I may not be able to remember everything so accurately. A lot happened and it wasn't so recent. But, since I have all this time on my hands...

So, Kelsea and Kiki got off the boat in Savannah and decided to meet up with me in Atlanta. Fiz had left by this point. I think there was only a few days between the day Fiz left and the day Kelski showed up. Anyway, we were trying to figure out how we were going to get north. Either we'd hitch out or we could take a train. Kelsea was very eager to ride a train because she hadn't done it yet. But, before they got to Atlanta (I think the day before), I found a rideshare going from Atlanta to Richmond from this lady, Becky? maybe? This lady was nuts. Very nice though. She was in Atlanta with her 9 month old son to meet up with her husband who was a truck driver. After thinking he left her and going through this roller coaster of emotions and confusion as to whether she would give us a ride or not, everything worked out and she picked us up at Emily's house. The drive went pretty well. Besides the stopping at Burger King so much so she could feed herself and her son. She fed him cheeseburgers. This kid is 9 months old and already addicted to Burger King. What the hell? Anyway, she dropped us off at Josh's house in Richmond which was awesome. I had never met Josh. I liked him and his cynicism. He had a good sense of humor. We hung out there with his douche bag roommates for something like two or three days and decided to catch a train out to Baltimore. The last night we were there was hell. We were sleeping in Josh's room while Josh and his roommates were out drinking somewhere. They came back pretty late and shit got crazy. From Josh's room we can here Josh get in a fight with his douche bag roommate which wakes me up. Then Dez (another roommate) comes in wasted and tries to get everyone to get up and party. By this time it's like 3 or so in the morning and we need to get up at 6 or 7 to get to the catch-out spot. So, we all start to get really frustrated. After a while of this, he passes out but just before Josh comes back in his room. He's apparently pretty closed to blacked out and really upset over seeing an ex and his current situation which is that of not having a stable job or money and being in a shitty house. So as it sets in he gets really upset and gets a gun of his out of his closet and puts it to his head. This, needless to say is extremely alarming and honestly a bit irritating. It takes something like ten or fifteen minutes to convince him to put the gun down and by that point it's pretty much time to go. So with no sleep and a huge amount of irritation, we head out toward the catch-out spot.
