Break Up Day

Man, my sleep­ing is all messed up. Stu­pid cough. And Gmail is lag­ging right now, of all things.

Woke up and went online. Did some mail­ing list house­clean­ing and chat­ted online. Kitty asked if I wanted a ride to cam­pus, so I fired off an e-​mail to Will real fast about elec­tion stuff, and wan­dered over to her place. Eddie L was over there to cook break­fast for Genie, but she wasn’t up yet, so I chilled with him for a bit as Kitty got ready. She didn’t have a per­mit, so we were going to take the bus, but Eddie L offered to drive us to cam­pus. Quote comes from when he was dri­ving us -

We went on to sug­gest that he stages it so that he would come over with flow­ers, walk in on Genie and Ste­vie, and go “Who the hell is this?!” But he didn’t like the idea… some­thing about not being able to keep a straight face.

Chilled in CoHo for a while, mostly play­ing BS Poker. Man, I just real­ized I must have played that for at least three and a half hours straight. Then Joey took Drew, Kitty, and me to McDonald’s. Got dol­lar menu items just min­utes before the 2-​for-​1 Big macs deal went into effect. I didn’t know it was every day after 5!

Back to cam­pus for the meet­ing… we were a lit­tle early, so more BS Poker in Well­man 2. The meet­ing itself was really fast. Nom­i­na­tions were pretty fast, too. Not as much com­pe­ti­tion as I would have thought. Espe­cially noth­ing from the pledges. Hope­fully more come up in the course of the weeks before elec­tion night.

Oh, and if you didn’t already know… Will F and I are run­ning for SVP. Offi­cially, our com­pe­ti­tion was Angela and Mommy Van, and Cedric and Izzy. Pretty pow­er­ful pairs. But I heard Cedric didn’t want to run for any­thing, and Angela didn’t want to run against us. But Mommy Van and Izzy are both still inter­ested. As well as a cou­ple of other peo­ple. The prospect of com­pe­ti­tion really scares and excites me.

Scared because of the pos­si­bil­ity of los­ing. Espe­cially the pos­si­bil­ity of los­ing to one of my mom­mies again. I really didn’t want to run against Mommy Van, and I think she knew that when she encour­aged me to run while she was debat­ing whether to run for Pres­i­dent or SVP. Every time we talked about it, she talked as if she had already decided on run­ning for Pres­i­dent only.

But yes, I’m also extremely excited that there is com­pe­ti­tion. I hella look up to my mom­mies, and I know they would do great (bet­ter than I could) in any posi­tion they ran for. But Will is a great part­ner, and I think we are also a very pow­er­ful pair, and we have great ideas for next term’s ser­vice pro­gram. And if we win, I want it to be because we proved to the chap­ter that we are the best peo­ple for the job, not because we were the only ones who were stu­pid enough to step up. So to every­one who is read­ing this and think­ing of run­ning for SVP… bring it!

Any­ways… get­ting back to the moment… the high­light of the meet­ing was def­i­nitely the Dacy babies’ trib­ute to their moms. (It’s kinda weird how all the other classes are related to those moms in some way, but not Toy Class.) I won­der how many Toys will still be around in a year and a half, because Dacies are still going strong.

Any­ways, after the meet­ing, went briefly to MNR at In and Out, and then went home. I passed out pretty much immediately.
