I have this overwhelming urge right now to take the Trooper out to the nearest muddy field and just tear loose until I can’t see out my windshield anymore. I can picture it in my mind’s eye, down to my face, which is plastered with a demonic grin stretching ear to ear. It reminds me of Ed Norton’s line in Fight Club: “I wanted to destroy something beautiful.” What the hell is wrong with me?
Well, instead, I’m gonna write a post and try to pass out.
Before I get into today, though, I forgot to mention something in yesterday’s post. When Aaron L, Thu H, and I went to Drew’s place to get him, he was in the shower when we got there. Thu H went in to look at his bedroom, and naked Drew went from his bathroom back to his bedroom. Aaron L and I expected some screaming or perhaps slamming of bodies, depending on how well Thu H managed to hide herself. But then she came out fine, and got a new t-shirt to boot! The moral of the story is, good things happen when you see Drew naked. 
Today… woke up in stages, calling Peggy every so often to make sure she was working on her paper. I would fall back asleep after each call until about 8:30. Woke up for good and did some chores around the house. Went online after that. Got some new manga. Read blogs. The usual bummage, in other words. Proof-read two of Peggy’s papers.
Went to lunch with Aaron L and Thu H after that. Aaron L suggested Chipotle, and I countered with Guad. Apparently other people had the idea, because we ran into a huge APhiO study group. They were finishing up as we got there. Ate fast and chased after them to John’s house. It’s very nice. We played a couple of rounds of Smash Brothers on the big screen, and then it was time for the service project.
I actually got us rolling pretty early, but rolling all around Davis to collect everyone in the car took a while, and we hit some traffic, too, so we were about fifteen minutes late to the project. The tagging itself was pretty straightforward. We just took the rubber duckies and slapped numbered stickers on them. Some of them were pre-numbered from previous races they had been in, so we just stripped those off first.
The project was supposed to last from 5 to 8:30, but we finished just a little before 7. Then they loaded the crates onto a flatbed truck and force-fed us pizza and soda. They made us take the leftovers home, too. I felt kinda bad. I think they give us too much for the amount of work we do for them. And considering certain recent events, I’m trying to accept as few perks as possible on projects.
There was a lot of service/pledge parent talk. That’s where quote comes from.
“So how do you guys do hours?”
- Michelle J.
“I usually go by what the chair says.”
- Me.
“Good job, Michelle. You’re getting six hours for this!”
- Aaron L.
Keep in mind the project is supposed to be 3.5, and we actually did about 2 hours. I might have to dock him 1.5x hours. Let that be a lesson to all of you. Don’t be bad chairs!
Oh, and Aaron L lied at the project and Eric didn’t believe him. Amazing! I think the training may actually be kicking in.
Back to Davis. Took a shower. Heard about a couple of events going down, but I didn’t feel like going to any of them, really. Just stayed in bed and read my book. I’m actually getting close to done! But no more for tonight… I’m just… tired. No, not tired. Weary. That’s a better word.
Good night!
Aaron L, Michelle J, Ron L, Thu H, Work

I was not naked! On the off chance that you guys would come while I was in the shower, I took boxers in with me… so no Thu didn’t get the whole show, just a peek! And the t-shirt’s cuz Thu’s awesome… awesomely small!
