Your Friend

Wow, it is incred­i­bly hot right now. Much like it was yesterday.

Yes­ter­day, I… woke up and went online. Took Will N, Ter­ren, and Anh to cam­pus. Wrote my posts and worked on the Assas­sins kill cir­cle for a while. Kitty wanted to go to cam­pus, so I went with her. Chilled in CoHo for a while. It was kinda dead, and every­one was a bit… edgy. That’s Assas­sins for you. Wanted to play BS Poker, but I for­got that I left my cards behind in CoHo last time we played because peo­ple wanted to con­tinue after I left, and I never got them back. Instead, gave Linh a hard time about her home­work boyfriend.

Man, Jackson’s got a one-​track mind. And did any­one else notice how Linh’s story hella changed?

Oh, and worked on the cross­word puz­zle for a while. Got about half of it when it was time for my ser­vice project.

Aiza and I walked over to the ten­nis courts and waited for Angela to come pick us up. She came with Will F and Eric AY, and we were off. The project itself was inter­est­ing. It wasn’t what I was expect­ing at all. First we had to fill out vol­un­teer forms and photo release forms. Sup­pos­edly they were going to have some­one there that day to get pic­tures of us. Then he had us trans­fer stock­ings filled with toys, candy, and toi­letries for kids from one room to another. They were left­over from Christ­mas, and the Food Bank decided to take the stuff out of them and use them imme­di­ately in other things. Then the fun part. They had just received a huge dona­tion, and had a moun­tain of empty steel dona­tion drums sit­ting out­side. We had to move them inside and stack them along the rafters in the ware­house. So basi­cally it was Aiza, Angela, and me run­ning between the hot out­side and cold ware­house with drum after drum after drum, drag­ging them up the stairs to Will, who squeezed them in as best he could. I was sweat­ing pro­fusely by the halfway point. And by the end I think I was slightly sick from going between hot and cold. But yeah, that was our two hours of service.

Angela drove us all back, and I asked to be dropped at CoHo. Chilled there, con­tin­u­ing the cross­word and semi-​waiting for my tar­get to show up, but really just wait­ing for Mommy Van’s sur­prise birth­day party. At one point, the fire alarm went off, and we had to evac­u­ate the MU. What a great way to get your tar­get to come out of hid­ing, huh? Hehe, no, there were no deaths that I know of in that time. And good thing, too. If a false alarm was traced back to APhiO, bad things would happen.

Jason G got out of class at 6 and the two of us walked over together. Good thing I went with him, because Mommy Tang told every­one the wrong address. (She says that’s what Eddie C told her, though.) Got there late, but was suprised to find that Mommy Van wasn’t there yet, so we just sat in back and played the wait­ing game. Mommy Van even­tu­ally came and was sur­prised. Then we ate. I wasn’t going to eat because I felt slightly nau­seous, but Jen Liu made me eat half her salad, telling me she would just throw it away if I didn’t. Damn her and her force-​feeding tendencies!

After din­ner, we wan­dered over to Baskin Rob­bins for some ice cream. Then went home. I was goign to pass out, but couldn’t. Then Eddie C and James S were going to go swim­ming at Chap­ar­ral, so I went to say hi to Mommy Van again and pos­si­bly chill in the hot tub, and see if that made me feel any bet­ter. Well, the Chap­ar­ral crew was going to go to Café Bernardo’s, but they closed or were clos­ing any minute, so I fig­ured they would stay home, but instead, they went to Cantina’s. I was in swim trunks, and with­out ID, so I didn’t go with them. Instead, I feel asleep in the hot tub as Eddie C and James S swam laps.

Went home and passed out for real.
