what happened yesterday in chrono order, but w/o the times because it's all to vague in my head right now...

went to pleasanton q-zar. wore jumpsuit. got asses kicked in by employees. got elbowed in the chest plate, punched in the back plate, elbowed and ran into. target the one guy who kept continually elbowing me in the chest plate and got him in the ribs with the butt of the laser gun right between the chest and back plates. he left me alone for the rest of the time. wow...those bulky SMG-wannabes actually have some kind of use. however, felt guilty for having to use force against a really good lowly q-zar player.

left q-zar. had an interesting trip...first ran behind rachel's car and jumped onto it, and then nearly fell off due to her quick acceleration. got dropped at home, pick up my sleep stuff and go to get david. grabbed him after talking to his mother and brother about how some really crappy chinese show wanted to make tom puke.

got to mike's house, went in and started eating the chicken that rachel and mike marinated. then the steak went on. mike's dad is a great bbqist. received somewhat good compliments about the steak, but the criticism that came in the most was "too much vinegar, too much beer". sorry guys, will lay off the vinegar and beer next time and add more barbecue sauce.

then watched the score, which is a really good movie by the way.

then went swimming with rachel, nat, ryan, mike and laurie...got in the house, took a shower and talked a long while downstairs.

then went upstairs, lay out the sleeping bag and slept.

woke up at 1000ish and watched gary play shadow hearts for a while.

the best part was this guy called bacon had just summoned an evil large force and was pulling rock and earth and buildings up from the ground, and he said: "well, i'll be seeing you...i'm going to be in a london, having a spot of tea. ta ta! hahahaaahaahahhaahahaa- doH! (hit by a rock) hahahaha!" ten hours of gameplay for that was well worth it. of course it wasn't my gameplay, and i slept for like 5-6 hours.

then we ate leftovers for breakfast, and mike's mom was being really nice, continually asking if we wanted eggs, waffles, pancakes, sandwiches, jamba juice, the like...because she felt guilty for allowing us to eat leftover food for breakfast.

rachel got scratched by meowie (?).

i'm allergic to cats.

went home, dropped gary off, will hopefully see him later when we get together to play WCIII

fell asleep at home until 3...was pretty dead tired....

got the pieces of my lofting equipment cleaned and ready to go, did some laundry, finished Save The Last Dance...and...well...yeah...

that's pretty much it.

i feel dizzy.

going to lie down again.

so i had a car crash.

i was in the wrong part of town, looking for a non-existent park in that area...when i decided to essentially turn around and go the other direction. realizing that there were no yellow lines, meaning i was going against traffic, i decided to take a right turn at the next available street. a car comes out of nowhere and crosses my path. i slam on the brakes and check where it came from. another car was sitting at the stop sign, so i decided to start my wide right turn because there was a car parked at the corner. then the car comes out of the stop signed area and hits me, causing my car to do a 180. he rolls by, and then speeds off. ironic how my first car crash is a hit and run. nothing serious happened, it should be all auto-body metal work, but i doubt my parents are going to do it.

mom came down hella hard on me in public, but loosened up on me when i got home because she saw how ripped up i was inside. dad was firm the entire time until now, but always sympathetic because he was glad i wasn't dead or in the hospital.

no report was filed to the DMV or the insurance company.

chances are we'll just take the volvo to trade in this summer.

i'm just kinda glad i'm still alive...

makes me think of my own mortality. fuck...
