Not sure what this means...

jebbypalthe universe could be saying that I should have continued driving, when I clearly thought it said to stop. Or, it's saying, "imagine how much worse it would be if you hadn't:
1) Skipped last interstate rest stop in OH thinking that one would occur relatively soon in PA.
--> Universe: AHAHAHAHAHA, YOU ARE SO FUNNY
2) After 20+ miles of really needing a facilities break, thought I saw a sign indicating that a rest stop was 2 miles away.
--> Universe: SHE WEARS GLASSES. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT SHE SAW IT WRONG VS IT WAS WRITTEN WRONG VS WE ARE SCREWING WITH HER??
3) After going at least another 10 miles (during which I'd taken a drink of water out of false hope), determine to take very next exit as I've seen at least two fast food places advertising for it. Plus, it's close to 7pm so would be good time to look for food if nothing else. Township: Cranberry, PA
--> Universe: SHE'S ENTERTAINING.
4) WTF is up with this exit ramp? Why am I going forever with absolutely no signs indicating the direction of desired fast food restaurants???? BLADDER WANTS TO EXPLODE AND PANTS ARE ALREADY AS LOOSE AS i CAN GET THEM
--> Universe: BEST SHOW EVER!
5) Randomly turn left, where I can at least see a perkin's restaurant and hotel. Drive down and then finally find mcdonalds on right side of road. SUCCESS
--> Universe: MMM, POPCORN.
6) Grab keys, as well as phone intending to stop and use the free wifi to look for stacey-safe restaurants when I'm done. Phone promptly slides out of my hand and lands between seat and the console. Reach into tiny crack that hand barely fits into to try to get it out and only succeed in pushing further in. Give up, run for restroom.
--> Universe: FUNNIER THAN CHARLIE SHEEN'S WARLOCK TOUR
7) Feeling better, return to car to get phone out. Cannot see it from front of seat. Go to back of seat, cannot see it as it is apparently wedged between the console and the metal gears that allow for seat adjustment.
-->Universe: DID NOT SEE THAT MASTERFUL PLOT TWIST COMING AT ALL
8) Move seat backward. Still no luck. Forward. No joy. Rinse and repeat while getting more and more and more and more and more frustrated.
-->Universe: ACCIDENTALLY SNORTS POPCORN OUT NOSE
9) Try to use ipod, cords, anything available, as extendor to move phone more. Fail. give in and scream and slam doors while moving seats back and forth with no joy.
-->Universe: ROFL. OOPS, SORRY ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE AND TYPHOON.
10) Last ditch effort: lower seat as low as it can go. move seat back and forth. stick hand in crack until i think skin will be removed. Finally, success. and phone does not appear damaged *knocks on wood*
-->Universe: WIPES TEARS AWAY BEFORE ANY MORE OF EAST COAST FLOODS.
11) Locate longhorn steakhouse. Eat dinner. Locate holiday inn express. arrive. check in. park on opposite side of elevator and have to finally ask another guest after misunderstanding front desk's instructions. Resist urge to bang head.
-->Universe: OOOH, MORE PLOT!!!!! BEST SHOW EVER
12) Move car, get bags to room. Unpack. Delighted to find that beer from Cherry's is still cold. Oops, beer is in nontwistable and I don't have a bottle opener. Attempt opening through various means. Fail as I do not want to risk damage to furniture or letting the universe have attempt to seriously cut me on a broken bottle.
-->Universe: POUTS. WE WANT BLOOD!
13) Via text, Cherry suggests asking front desk for bottle opener. Desk attendant reports that their bottle opener "walked off some time ago and didn't return." Call B for suggestions - these do not work. While texting failure to cherry, seem to remember that I have a tool in car that has bottle opener. Check. Nope, wishful thinking. Abandon cold beer back to refrigerator.
-->Universe: SHORT JOKE SEQUENCE, BUT STILL WORTH A CHUCKLE
14) Have had bright idea to watch some of last week's missed tv via amazon/netflix. Go to hook up computer to wifi. Notice no plugins convenient that are not at desk so anything I watch will be < 1.5 hr thanks to netbook battery. As I try to enter password for wifi, firefox gives me continuous security certificate errors while noscript keeps popping up and blocking attempts to submit password. Wail to cherry
-->Universe: INHALES POPCORN INTO LUNG WHILE LAUGHING
15) Finally succeed in disabling noscript. Achieve internet, but only have 2 bars and even google maps is slow to load. Decide i better just wind down, go to bed early and plan to make an early start
-->Universe: WONDERS IF TOMORROW'S EP WILL BE JUST AS FUNNY?
So I have 350 miles (~6 hours, no stops) of driving left out of the original 608 miles. Not too bad. Also, OH drivers need to learn how to a) drive on 6 lane highway, b) the etiquette of passing utilizing any lane (hint: do not incremently creep into blind spot and stay there for 10 miles while making nary any progress), c) tailgating is frowned on
Okay, getting tired now so going to turn in. Hopefully the universe agrees with that plan.
