"You know, those pants have a hole in the butt."

"Yeah, I know."

Story of my life.

Today in class we played Monopoly, and I had the worst luck imaginable. Seriously. My first 4 or 5 turns were the equivalent of going around the board twice, except

1) I somehow managed to only land on property that had just been freshly bought by the two people who were ahead of me, and

2) I managed to get into jail on two separate occasions, thus having to transverse the same hostile properties, pay to get out, and miss passing GO two times in a row.

After that, I managed to get a hold of two of the railroads and both Utilities, but only ONCE did I get money through my property. I got to pass go about twice. I think.

Plus, two people (the same who had bought everything ahead of me at the beginning of the game) managed to get most of the really expensive monopolies, so I didn't last very long at all.

Bah, luck based games. I didn't even get the chance to make good or bad decisions.



Yesterday was the first swim practice, and I've gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out. It was freezing, and kind of hard, but I honestly think I did a lot better in comparison to, say, Ryan. Ryan is a beast at everything, so it's nice to challenge him. After that we bought some fantastic french fries from the pool store, drove around*, and watched Tenacious D.

*Oh my gosh. I drove 4 guys to the pool, and 3 of them were yelling the entire way. I was the captain of the ship, Kyle was first mate, and Ryan and John were just loud.

Kyle pretended the foam baseball bat was a harpoon gun. He kept pointing it at the whales driving past me and wailing at them.

...

hahaha. They're awesome.

I feel I should point out that the spelling is purposeful.

So, one of the only hooded sweaters that fits me properly says "CHUCKLE BUTT" on the back, and I don't know what to do about it.

I'm super super sleepy, Star Trek might have been better if I were more of a Trek-nerd and less of a physics nerd (don't get me started on the black holes), and I'm pretty sleepy.

My upper back and shoulders have been flaky all day, but the chlorine from today really pushed my skin over the edge. It's actually not coming off in flakes as much as strips. I got one strip that was an inch and a half long and almost as wide, no lie. There's no visible contrast between the dead skin and the new skin, so I'm not worried. Whatever damages was done is long past; I can enjoy this without guilt.

I'm one of those people that enjoys picking at scabs and stuff like that, so of course I'm having a field day with this. The sound is the best part...when I pull off a strip, I can hear quite audibly a sound like cellophane wrapping being pulled off a package. (Or a long strip of tape from its roll!) Part tearing, part vibrational tones. The pieces look like strips from a grocery bag.

I just burned a particularly long one. It stinks a lot for such a small conflagration. I won't do that again.

I'm about to make an account on Twitter, I think.

Ugh, the finger I was holding it with smells terrible, but I can't stop sniffing it.

It just goes to show, a little burning flesh can go a long way.

PS:

I found out two important things recently.
1) If I go over the character limit in a text message, my phone just sends enough messages to hold all the characters. 160, I think.

2) I can send/receive messages on my computer as long as the phone is connected.

TO: Alaskans Jumping: "You know what would be really annoying?"

FROM: Alaskans Jumping: "what"

TO: Alaskans Jumping: "You have unlimited texting, right?"

FROM: Alaskans Jumping: "si"

I just sent AJ a five or 6 thousand character story. In the form of 35 consecutive text messages.

FROM: Alaskans Jumping: "im going to kill you. hhah"

Good ol' AJ.

PPS from the next morning:

OK, I might have gone a little bit overboard on the peeling. Not all the skin can be ready to come off, after all. But on the bright side...my new record is almost 5 inches at once. :P
