i live close to charlottesville, one time when i was in high school i went to a party at jmu. pretty close in proximity to uva. i was drunk, at a house party and wanted to go to another party that i knew of that night. in harrisonburg, there are parties everywhere. certain parts of town are large apt complexes that are littered with parties. i wanted to go to one of those. i left the party i was at, walked down the street to a hotel, went inside and asked them to call me a cab. i wanted to go to the apt complex where i knew the parties were poppin'. i got in the cab, ended up asking the cab driver to take me to 7-11 because i felt a little nauseous after the car ride. he got me there, i went inside and realized i didnt have my purse or any money. i went back to the cab driver and told him of my lack of funds. he drove me back to my original starting place and i ended up back at the house i originally started at. hg's behavior the night she went missing reminds me a lot of my own behavior that night. it seems like she left the one party and was on her way, a mission if you will, to another party. maybe one where the music was a little louder and the drinks a little stronger. it seems that as she was walking to find the next party her alcohol level started to wear off. dbg comes up to her and offers to buy her a drink, she has some time to kill so she agrees and they head to tempo. like, her alcohol level was dropping and his offer to bring that back up was enticing to her. i was in that mindset. i wanted to buy alcohol from 7-11 that night because after my walk to the hotel my buzz started to wear off. now, what happened to hg after she left tempo i'm not sure. hopefully there will be clues that can shed some light into her disappearance. for her family, for her friends, and for her community it's time to bring hannah home.
It really seems like a good practice though. I was once stuck at a party house and wanted to get back on campus and had no way.It would have been wonderful if I could have used a taxi.
