`    Morgantown to Parkersburg, WV

Saturday May 24, 2008

     8:23am  Let's see, what do I have to say this morning? I got a beautiful cuddle-buddy last night. Yet another fairy nympth who's appeared before me on my mission. We are preparing to take off on a trail-run, an evaluation-trip to Parkersburg, to see how we travel together. With Sid. Oh wait, we had agreed I was going to stay behind in Morgantown while Jayme and Sid go to Parkersburg. I totally forgot about that. So I'm just going to hang out in town. Great, I'm excited to be here. I can't wait to see what happens.

     11:52am  I am really starting to like Jayme. She's really beautiful.

                     I don't think I mind the pitbull at all. I thought I would have a problem, but I have to keep going with the flow. These things present themselves to me and I have to be responsive to change. They're just too good to pass up, these opportunities. I can't be making active decisions that much. I have to let other things decide. This girl Jayme, if she's free and has nothing tying her down and is willing to come with me, I just might scoop her up. With the dog and everything. I don't care. I don't mind Sid at all.

                    Jayme is only going to Parkersburg for her younger brother's highschool graduation.  She would be able to sleep at her mom's house, but  not with me.  I told her I could hitch hike to Parkersburg with her and find a different place to camp.  So we're going.

     2:21pm  Man, in no-time. Jayme and I were on the onramp for like less than an hour and Tyler and Collin totally picked us up. Sid and everything. We're on our way. Thanks a lot, guys. Everybody gets credit.

     2:29pm  We just got teleported to 79 and East Park Avenue. To the Exxon here. Hell yeah, just like that. I even told Jayme earlier that sometimes people turn around and come back for you. Sure enough, this guy went home and thought about it and came back and got us.

     3:56pm  In no-time at all Jason and Daniel are hooking us up with a ride. We appreciate it, guys. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.
   
     4:15pm  I forgot to tell you. Some more magic happened. We just got dropped off at this rest area. I don't know what the name of it is. On 70 South. Mile 122 Rest Area. I took a picture. I love Jayme so much already. I can't wait to dedicate that song to her. I need to download it and memorize it. Jayme is awesome. I am so happy right now. I am elated. That's what I am. It's going to happen soon. While we were on the onramp thumbing her hand throwing the peace sign was never down. She had the peace sing up the whole time. That's how we got that last ride. They even told us it was because of the peace sign. I love you, Jayme.

                   Jayme playing with Sid.

     4:34pm  Jayme is going to make an entry for me. Jayme: "We are sitting here at a donation hot-dog stand. We are at a rest area. We haven't even hitchhiked twenty miles away from Morgantown. It's all good. We talked to some people."

     5:00pm  Me and my beautiful fairy Jayme, we walked all the way from the rest area to the next exit. There's a lot more traffic here than the rest area, so we came over to the onramp.

     6:13pm  Man, in no-time, Christina was nice enough to pull over for us. Sid too! Christina: "Christ in a person." I appreciate it, Christina. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.

     6:30pm  The Christian Christina, she told me no when I asked her. She wouldn't listen to my story. She didn't want to hear it. Thanks for proving me right. I was just testing you. We just got dropped off in the middle of nowhere. We're only sixty six miles from Parkersburg. We'll get there today. Just watch.

     6:48pm  Man, in no-time. Well, we still walked a little bit. I turned around and noticed the sight-distance was good. We stood there for a minute and in no-time Melissa was nice enough to pull over for us. We appreciate it, Melissa. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

                   Jayme's pack.

     7:07pm  I'm telling Melissa my story and I forgot to mention she's already given me two cigarettes. And a ride. Everybody gets credit. Thanks for helping us live this dream.

     7:53pm  We just magically got delivered to Parkersburg. This beautiful girl, Melissa. It's funny, because that Christian lady had made a special prayer for us to get a ride all the way to Parkersburg. She prayed that the next ride we get would take us all the way there, and it sure did. We just got dropped off at the Wendy's parking lot and my beautiful pixie nympth Jayme is in the bathroom taking a piss and I am out here with Sid. I'm waiting for Jayme.

                   Parkersburg is Jayme's hometown, by the way. She was born here.

     8:53pm  Jayme and I walked all the way to the school where her brother's graduation is at, which was the whole purpose for this trip. We made it to town on time and she went in the gradation(without me and Sid) and she got to see her family. She wants to spend some time with her family, so I'm going to give her a couple hours. She walked by and got Sid. I am going to meet her at The Pizza Place at ten thirty or so. I'm going to find a gas station and use the bathroom or something. I took a picture of the highschool here and the bench I was sitting at with Sid.

     9:06pm  I walked from the highschool down Dudley Street. I see a Speedway and a Chevron down there to the right. I'm going to walk to the Chevron. I'll hang out there and smoke a cigarette. I'll stash my weed somewhere in case the cops get called on me.

     9:36pm  I came over to the North End Market and I'm waiting for Jayme. Kelly saw my shirt from her car and smiled. I gave her my website and she gave me a cigarette. I appreciate it, Kelly. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot. Whoa, she gave me two, awesome.

                   I took Kelly's picture, hell yeah.

     9:56pm  Steve helped me out with some water. He filled up my bottle for me. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     10:17pm  This guy Dan just came up to me and volunteered me some change. You shouldn't be so quick to judge. I'm not homeless or nothing. I'm a journalist, a professional. Check out my website. He offered me money and I told him I didn't need any. He insisted though and gave me a dollar in quarters.

     10:25pm  I called Jayme from a payphone. I told her I was at the North End Market and she said that was kind of far so I'm going to walk back to The Pizza Place. Double back on Dudley.

                     That place I got the water from earlier was called Friend's or something. Like a videopoker place. The guy working buzzed the door for me but he said I couldn't bring my big bags in. Whatever.

     10:43pm  I made it back to The Pizza Place. I'm looking for Jayme.

                     Walked by a Masonic Lodge.

     10:56pm  There's my Jayme. Where's Sid?

     11:46pm  Jayme came back earlier. She's going to sneak me into her mom's house. She told me it wouldn't be the first time she sneaked a boy into her house, hehe. I'm going to go in through the roof or something. We just walked over this big bridge. We're in Ohio now. Welcome to Ohio. If I turn around it's welcome to West Virginia.

     12:10am  I am whispering right now. I have successfully been snuck into Jayme's room.

Next day..
