News this week has been pretty boring. So, Taylor Swift's album came out, probably something happened with that Bieber kid, some shit went boom, and so on. So tonight's blog is a logging of our post-apocalyptic trip to a surprisingly post-apocalyptic warehouse.
Sage and I were on a date this evening. Since we're not exactly average, we drove out to the place we had our second date, and looked at the stars for a while. But the sprinklers were kind of broken, and it was REALLY cold (not really, but it seemed that way to us Californians), so we got back in the car and started looking for parking lots. Oh yeah, nothing hotter than a PARKING LOT at 8pm. Mmmm.
Anyways. We drove past this building which appeared to be a warehouse. It was pretty dimly lit, so I pointed it out to Sage as we drove (actually, I pointed out the lights across the way and he made a sudden turn to see them, and then we saw the warehouse). We drove around a little more before deciding to scope the joint--it looked pretty damn cool at the time! We parked across the way, donned our dark jackets (fine, fine, mine has peace signs on it. so be it!), and headed over to look inside. Sure enough, I was right. It was some sort of warehouse, but it was HUUUUUGE...and mostly empty. There were some signs outside that said "WE'RE WATCHING YOU SO DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID" (basically). I dragged Sage around to the lobby doors--marked with a sign that said Lobby Entrance--and we stared at the doors. They were black, like pitch black, the kind of doors you have to use your hands to see into.
"So...you wanna go first?"
"Uhhh not really." Sage is a scaredy-cat. We both ended up looking in (after I made Sage go first because I do not want the zombies to eat me, thank you very much). The lobby was also empty, and the desk was mostly broken down.
"Well that's not creepy at all." We were having fun by then, so we kept walking. The gate that led into the parking lot was marked with a sign that must've said "Disguise", only the letters were scratched off. This warehouse was proving to be pretty interesting. We were walking around the building when I pointed out some kind of animal running on the road.
"Look, an animal."
"It's probably a coyote." Sage started pulling me back, but I kind of wanted to get closer. Yeah, I'm kind of crazy. Deal with it? Somehow, we moved forward a bit. The animal moved forward a lot. Sage was holding onto my sleeve, like he was ready to pull me back if the coyote tried to kill me.
"Hey, it kind of smells..."
"Like a skunk!" I looked at Sage and we laughed. Yeah, some coyote, huh? As we walked closer (Sage still didn't want to, since getting sprayed by a skunk would probably suck), I noticed the face patterns on the animal.
"I think it's a raccoon.." Then the animal ran into a drainage ditch. It basically hid there and watched us the rest of the time. We walked along the back of the building, where some truck loading docks were. I pointed to one that had a crack in it, through which a ton of light was spilling out.
"Wow, that's amazing. You can kind of see inside."
"Yeah... There are boxes. Like there. Like RIGHT there. Like if I opened this shit up, there'd be boxes in my face." We saw some more signs warning us not to break laws and la di da. Then we found some doors with signs on them.
"What's that sign say?" Sage went to read the sign. I backed up and located the camera, then shot it down...nah, we didn't have any guns. Oh well. "Hey we're just looking, so you can't arrest us, okayyyy? Nothing illegal going on here, got it building?"
"The sign says that they moved."
"Hmm. Good thing I'm already crazy, otherwise you'd be gone by now, huh?"
"Nahh." But I think Sage is just cool for accepting my craziness. The world pulled us together using MAGIC. And stuff. And probably it just happened when we gave our names in sixth grade...
So then we walked around the other side of the building, and Sage started trying to open doors.
"Hun, I really doubt they're gonna be open."
"With a warehouse this big, you usually find one that's unlocked."
"Huh. And then what? We go in?"
"No."
"...then what's the point.."
"Psshh, just leave it!" We kept walking, and found some really steep little hills going from level to level of the parking, and neither of us fell. It was pretty cool. I like not being broken. I'm not sure if Sage CAN break. But neither of us did, so that was pretty cool. Eventually, we got to the windows and started looking in. It was really oddly lit inside that warehouse, and sometimes the light did weird things to my eyes. I'd see something, then it would be gone. Sage tried another door.
"Seriously, I think we've established that the doors aren't going to be open."
"I think someone tried to break in."
"What? Really?"
"Yeah, the lock's bent on this one."
"Wow. Well, that guy failed, too. So leave the doors alone."
"We might find an open one!"
"Saaaaaage."
Somehow, as if we had walked all the way around the building, we were back at the front. Well you know, we actually HAD walked all the way around. It was fun, and cold. The warehouse turned out to be pretty boring, actually. No zombies or anything. Just the one raccoon and some weird lights. I'm pretty sure they're hiding something there, but, like Sage discovered, none of the doors were open, so we couldn't check it out.
We got back in the car, and turned on the heat.
"That was fun."
"Yeah, this place is kinda creepy, though."
"Yeah. Really dark."
"So...you wanna get some food?"
We got Mexican. I lost my engagement ring and spent an hour looking for it. Sorry our date got ruined, Sage. And now we're here, blogging this excitement. No zombies, a raccoon, a lost ring, and seriously Sage, don't open anymore doors. Seriously.
Enjoy your Halloween
Kay and Sage
