vacation recap:

this was overall a very nice veterans day weekend that i got, mainly above all that all us CTCC guys/gals got together in socal and just did stuff together. pretty much everyone farted too ;) hey, actually i STILL am! ucla's beans caught up to me, as well as all the meat i ate there. the worship cd we were listening to in the car was also very nice.

Notable stuff:

Friday:
car trip:
-a traffic jam plus me not wisely going to the bathroom when i got the chance meant that i had to so desperately go that we had to pull over on the side of the road while i jumped out, ran a couple of feet into brush and pee for 5 min(can anyone say a retreat repeat?)
-then there was the ever-famous dog incident: after the traffic jam cleared, we sped up, going around 80. the van on the right started slowing down, and right when we were about to pass them 2 large, bulky dogs ambled out slowly. jerm slammed on the brakes, but we still hit them insanely hard and rolled right over them. knocked out a fog light and bent the license plate. jerm was so distraught he wouldn't drive for the rest of the trip down.
-then we saw a buncha trash on a truck that looked so much like an elephant; jerm noticed it first.
-jon also ate most of jerm's onion rings
-jerm farted in the car
-jerm talked about fatsoburger. then he also forgot what tsai translated to in english.
-we had a really nice DEEP spiritual discussion in the car... something that we've not really delved into before.
-honestly, so much happened on the way TO riverside we wondered if we should just go home ;)
at riverside:
-the campus where norm rooms LOOKS SO NICE! it is really something.
-met neeraj... nice. turns out he rooms next to norman. also found out what's up with nik and vik.
-i joked to laura about Davis being the burmuda triangle of girls
-then there was the incident where jon looked like he was soiling himself
-woke up from listening to a conversation between norm and lydia; farted twice. went to sleep. woke up, farted twice more.

Saturday:
-went to tim's apartment building... very nice. we spent the time in there playing pool, watching snl, and later in tim's room playing cs, playing guitar, and doing some fantasy bball
-separating 2 fish from the crab in tim's room
-snl: "f is for friendship!" ;)
-"hey, look it's a bisexual bathroom!" (guys enter) ;) this cracked us up, which prompted lydia to say to laura; "c'mon laura join them; it's a bisexual bathroom!"
-then we thought about crowding the front of the elevator when it would open... only the OTHER door inside opened. heh heh.
-dinner at claim jumper was nice... norman ordered a kiddie dinner and said we should eat super(heh heh), and the waiter had a bet with tim, lydia, laura, and jerm that if they could finish a large meal, he would buy them a rack of ribs. but they felt too full to do so(besides, it would've killed jerm)
-i stepped in a crack between 2 matresses, and fell, which cracked us up a bit.
-played 2 on 1 cs against tim. was nice to know i got about 2-3 kills on him... which is so rare, considering how many times i got raped.
-@tap: laura told jerm to get her honeydew; jerm ordered "honeything" ?!? heh heh.

Sunday:
-this was the fun day... though we didn't do too much, we had a LOTTA good laughs and fun times.
-woke up, and sat on jerm to fart on him.
-went to NewSong church... dang; too much ahead of us! i dunno where to say they are hype or help. cause they have a full worship band(they go as far as to have a special soundbooth for the drummer, have special camera angles and transparencies, and sometimes do body worship.), but a really good speaker who is brief, but used a passage for his message. you get a comfortable, casual feeling going there. feels very hi-tech too. however, at times you wonder if they're so big that they forget to concentrate on fellowship(i can't say for sure cause i of course only went there for sunday). and at times you get a feeling of pride of this church over other churches; the point is to be together as christians, not inside of a church.
-then we had lunch w/paul. that was nice. discovered tuffy almost diarrhea'd all over isabel. and that norm's dog tried DIVING into eating crap. then mike told us why he hated greens... cause they're greens ;)
-laura was right... so many stairs at ucla. the dorm food's really good though; so much variety, and very good. now i understand what the hell laura means in her away messages when she sez "puzzles." hah; we spent some of the time passing around burgers turns out we also saw janet(goes to ucsd) and her friends. their curfew system is VERY strict though. it was hard as heck trying to get in. i'm getting the feeling that it's really how the attitude that you use to approach a college, not the college itself; at the dinner we all realized that there wasn't really anything good within walking distance of any of the uc's. so, in all reality, laura's having the most fun because she's the one who's actually going out making friends.
-saw both of the ucla girls' dorms. they're nice. but crowded.
-some rocky jokes... norm and mike raced up the long set of stairs, then were too tired to walk ;)
-played bball with a pink WNBA bball; heh heh. it was so weird, all of us were missing shots we would've normally made(something to do with the weight and ridges of the bball). got a couple of my single-handed weird hook shots in. got a couple of blocks in too. the ucla outside bball court looks weird; like a modified tennis court.
-you can hear EVERYTHING coming from the bathroom in the building that laura lives in. heard norm dropping his "black child" heh heh.
-hah hah... then there was the incident where norman was trying to look at his boxers by pulling down his gym shorts to see if he DID crap in his pants(it had first emerged when he was talking about holding in his crap til it would come naturally) and then this ucla girl comes around looking hecka shocked at norm while all of us were cracking up like crazy.
-at ucla, we closed the elevator, then rang the emergency bell and norm and mike proceeded to box each other out ;) that was funny
-when we went to santa monica, we just walked around(laura brought up the idea that it would be tight if i had my guitar with me), then we ended up at this mini carnival, so we just spent a few minutes playing some of the games. we didn't make the bball game AT ALL; 0/7. which blew, considering all of us guys tried; ALL of us. hah hah. there was some cracks about the games at that too. like the bball game, and the ladder game. tim gave jerm 10 cents so he could view the weird "back to nature" machine, which cracked him and us up. also mike got the weird toy. i would've played some of the shooting games, but didn't have enough chen. and we saw birdies(or should i say lil duckies, heh heh) trying to run into, then away from the nearby ocean tide.
-showering together w/jerm and tim; too funny. gave both of them a high-five(actually, since of my height, it was hard for tim to give me a high five, and i had to give jerm a low-five), and we shoved soap back and forth under the stalls. jerm tried peeing towards the entrance, and found out it goes through the stall. we also got a butt massage from the shower.
-then there was the incident where we turned off the lights to go to sleep in the study room... then jerm shrieked like crazy after seeing the 2 glow-in-the-dark figures. i quipped that it was lucky that me and sam didn't have our lenses on at the the moment(high-5). heh; he hyperventilated for quite some time.

Monday:
-woke up, and countered jerm's fart. then jon farted on norman.
-bid farewell.... did the socal farewell with i think norman and/or sam, i think maybe hugged norm, but me and laura high-5'd; guess she isn't as socal as we think; there's still hope; we haven't lost her yet ;)

that's it... all in all, it was just fun hanging out with the socal girls this weekend. would've been cool if we had deep conversations more often though. i know it's about that time. augh, can't wait for thanksgiving, then we can jam with god. brought up the subject will all who can help, and they seemed to be willing. that's cool; i'm looking forward to an awesome thanksgiving friday.

but for now, i need to quit... stuff to do... grr
