This will be funny as of tomorrow, when I hopefully get my car back.

Tiff and I got locked in a cemetery this evening. As is made obvious by the fact that I'm making a non-Blair-Witch LJ post, we escaped. My car was not so lucky.

What happened was this:
1) Tiffy wants to take pretty pictures in our beautiful local cemetery!
2) Chibi drops Tiff off at 7, goes and conducts mischief of her own, returns at 8:15.
3) Sun is still totally up. This is important, as the cemetery closes at dusk.
4) Groundskeeper comes along to shoo us out. We are fine with this, as this is his job and the sun is nearly setting. We pack it up and start trying to find our way through the labyrinthine roads of the cemetery to the place we came in.
5) Chibi and Tiffy discover the groundskeeper locked the gates the came in through. This is fine, there is another exit on the opposite side of the cemetery.
6) Groundskeeper fails to verify that we have actually left before locking the other gate and taking off for the night.
7) Chibi and Tiffy, discovering their entrapment, call the cops.
8) Cops discover that nobody boneyard-related, including the alarm service for the cemetery, is answering the phone. They recommend that we call friends and pick up the car in the morning, as they're not allowed to use boltcutters on the lock.
9) Chibi fears for her beloved car, but does so, leaving a note with her phone number just in case. Chibi and Tiffy are rescued by mel_the_second and gamer_of_chaos.
10) Chibi, shortly after getting home, gets call from asshole bacon-bit rent-a-cop demanding to know why her car is in the cemetery, thus ruining any chance Chibi has of relaxing between now and 9am tomorrow morning.

...yeah. Story was actually still somewhat lolworthy until #10. I'm horribly overprotective of my car, and really can't afford to get it out of an impound lot if they have it towed.

Hopefully this will turn out amusing in the end. I'd been having a pretty fab week; I'd hate to see it ruined by one incidence of stupidly bad luck.

I'm just glad your OK!

I had finally found my crowbar when you sent me the message that you had been rescued. >>;

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Your willingness to commit B&E to help me escape is sweet. <3 I'm glad it didn't come to that, though!

[proletariat-x.livejournal.com]

What other response am I gonna have to "Oh my, we are trapped in a graveyard!" XD

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Pointing and laughing? Hell, I thought it was hilarious and I was the one stuck in the graveyard. XD (Well, it was hilarious up until they said I had to leave my car, anyway.)

Then again, part of my levity is because I'm entirely the wrong type to die first in a horror movie.

[proletariat-x.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't quite scared for your life ( Should I have been? O.o) but I figure no one wants to spend the night in a cemetary. Besides, I never get to use my crowbar! I'm wondering why I even own one...

Maybe I shouldn't be so cavalier about it- All signs point to my near immiediate demise in most horror movies.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't have been overmuch thrilled with spending the night in a cemetery, so your thought (and crowbar ownership--why don't I have a crowbar?) is greatly appreciated. <3

I think you'd probably make it at least two-thirds of the way through the movie before being killed while brandishing your crowbar at the masked madman. I'd probably die somewhere just before the midpoint where the unimportant characters are killed off to up the body count, and Tiff's likely to be killed off in the first third of the movie. Out of all of us, Ryan's liable to be the one that survives to the end of the film and shows up in the sequel.

That's pretty freakin' crazy! I'd think, since the fuzz were the ones that told you to leave your car in the first place, that you'd get to avoid a tow/impoundment. One would hope so anyway. Sounds like an interesting time. Did you have to climb any fences or anything to escape yourselves?

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

The gate was intended more to block cars than pedestrians--we just had to duck under it. Even if it wasn't, there's enough damage to the fences around the cemetery that someone on foot can get in and out no problem. And fortunately, it looks like yon rentacop was just throwing around his (nonexistent) authority--my car was fine in the morning and I retrieved it without a problem.

I don't understand, how did you get out, but.... leave the car? I mean, was your car INSIDE the cemetary? Did you climb over the fense or wat? XD

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

LOL I wrote fense.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

It's a BIG cemetery. It has roads and stuff. We were driving around inside of it and the gates on both ends were intended more to keep out cars than people, so Tiff and I had no issue getting out on foot--we just couldn't get the car out. Fortunately, my car was fine and I picked it up this morning. ^_^

Oh.

My.

God.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

It's okay! My car is rescued and is none the worse for wear for spending the night with dead people.
