What a fun weekend....
So I still need to work on that whole updating more often thing... oops.
This weekend was really great. Friday night, I hung out with Katy a little. We went to Dairy Queen, got some blizzards, and saw John, Erik, and Russ there. That was fun, talking about hair (and how I don't grow any on my face, legs, or arms...) and the movie they just saw and how chicken strips cause heart attacks (that was all John). Then I came back and went to the Stephenson formal dance for a while.
Saturday, I had to be at work to setup for the track meet at 7am! That was fun, I ended up mowing the soccer field for the 2nd time in 5 days. (I've certainly never mowed my lawn at home at that frequency). I came back and Peter and I went to the baseball game again. It was a lot closer, but they lost that one too. Kaeo hit a home run and did pretty well the entire series, so that was good. After that, I had to work some more for track takedown... lots of fun let me tell you. I ended up working 6 hours tho, so that means money in my pocket. I got my tax return back too, $104 BABY! Anywho, Peter and I went up to Streit at around 10 to hang out with a couple of his friends from high school, including his 8th-grade girlfriend who was in town visiting from Central. We hung out there until like 1:45ish, sitting in the hallway talking about life and eating some mighty fine popcorn that Melissa made (just met her, she's pretty cool). Oh yea, this Hawaiian dude that was here partying from Seattle U busted the glass on the fire extinguisher and almost got yelled at by this big dude. I kinda wanted to see him get his @$$ beat cuz he's one of those stupid/immature drunks.
Sunday morning, Peter and I went and played softball for the Crim J club end of the year get together. That was sooooo much fun. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really miss baseball. Highlights include: Peter hitting a home run his first AB, a running catch down the left field line by me, and me throwing out this girl at first base from LEFT field. That last one was hilarious... She hit a blooper above the shortstop's head, and I caught it on a hop and threw it from shallow leftfield to Peter, who was standing on first, and barely beat her. She wasn't too happy about that but we certainly got a kick out of it. Our combined team of students and faculty beat the "defending champion" grad students, mighty handily I should add. We had a nice little BBQ there in the park after the game with burgers, hot dogs, chips, cookies, pop, beer... ya know, the works. And no, Peter and I didn't have any beer... or at least I didn't... Peter got a mighty bad sunburn on his neck/shoulders also, since he was running around with only a wife beater and shorts for most of the game. It looked/still looks like he was wearing a bra or something, so as he put it: he was an underwear model.
Since I had yet to start my paper, we came back here and I began my research of finding 5 newspaper/magazine articles published within the past year and dealing with my subject: nuclear waste disposal. Let me tell you... not so much fun. After dinner, Peter went and got his hair straightened by Laura and Jessica... it was.... in a word: different. I really don't know how to describe it, but combined with his sunburn, it was HILARIOUS! He should have pics of that up on his blog here soon, so check that out. Anywho, we watched Viva la Bam, Pimp My Ride, and the new Punk'd (as I had still yet to start the paper). Then after that, Peter borrowed the first season of Sex and the City from Stephon (our RA, who was borrowing it from our hall director or something like that), and we started watching that. Meanwhile, I was talking to Megan online... she's a really cool girl that I met through HotorNot that goes here. We ended up talking until after midnight (I still hadn't written a word toward the paper), and Peter and I ended up watching 8 episodes before he went to bed. I stayed in here and worked, until 7:30 AM!!! Somehow, I managed not to wake him up the entire time, even though I printed out like 15 pages cuz we had to print out our sources too.
After my longest day in recent memory, I decided to take advantage of the 45 minutes or so I had to sleep before having to wake up for class. Only, I ended up turning off my alarm and accidentally slept in until 10:45! Yea... paper was due at 9, so needless to say, I started freaking out. I decided to skip Poli Sci too and just go back to sleep until 12:20ish. Then I went and got my syllabus out of Peter's room and after calling my prof, went to Bio. Despite my lack of sleep and tendency to nap during that class anyway, I managed to stay wide awake. That was more likely than not due to the mocha frap and bag of skittles, however. Afterward, I came back here and talked to Megan and Capri for a little while. I hadn't talked to her in a LONG time, and I found out she's getting married this September, so I'm really happy for her. Other than that, I just hung out until we went to Flix at 10 with Laura, Jessica, and Ben, except for a break for dinner at Roto. After flix, Peter, Ben and I headed back to Waller and played some classic NES. Super Techmo Bowl and Excitebike... ahh the good ol days. We also watched a video of some guy beating Super Mario 3 for NES in 11 minutes, which was ridiculous. Dude needs to get a life if you ask me, but you probably didn't. After also watching the Chapelle's Show with Rick James, we decided to come up with our own nicknames. Ben is now "The Baldness," Peter is "The Whiteness," and I'm "The Yellowness." (Its because Rick James called Eddie Murphy and his brother "the darkness twins" in the show). Yea... then we came back and I talked to Megan until about 2 and just chilled. I got paid for work today too... only $69 and change, but money's money. I'm pretty sure I'm over the workstudy limit now so I'm at minimum wage... sucky.
Tomorrow, I have work and then I'm going to go play catch with Megan/teach her how to throw a baseball. That should be lots of fun... I'm excited to actually meet her in person.
So yea... thats what's been going on in my life for those of you that were wondering and had enough time to read all that. I'm outtie tho, since it's after 3 am and I got 4 hours of sleep last night (but am surprisingly awake right now). Hope everything is going well for ya'll!
