Well kids, I've been out and about hanging out with friends for the past 5 days or so, and it has been most excellent. On Tuesday I went up to Canton to hang out with Dave and Amy for one last time this summer. To go on and describe what we did, there wasn't anything crazy or weird or perhaps exciting for other people to read, but that's what's awesome about hanging out with good friends--you can do practically nothing, yet still have an awesome time. For the most part, the trip was comprised of Dave and me playing games on the comp, watching family guy, jammin in the basement, and eating. There were some really cool events, for instance; I talked to Alfonse Ciaccio (sp?), whom I remember from way back when I was about 5 and lived in Ralston. Alfonse is an amazing guitar player, and I remember always captively listening to him play 12-string acoustic during the church services back then. He didn't remember me, but that's cool. I was so little back then and didn't exactly talk to him, just knew who he was. Another fun event was horsing around in Wal-Mart, playing scooter dodgeball (aka, me throwing a ball at Dave as he rode through the aisles on a scooter). On our way back to Canton from Wal-Mart, we stopped and snagged one of those construction things with the blinking lights on them (there wasn't anything dangerous to which it was calling attention, so there wasn't any harm in "moving" it). We settled for that since we never got our hands on an electric screwdriver. I haven't given up hope on that sign; we'll get it someday.

I came home thursday night, then left Friday morning to head down to Carlisle. Naturally, we made the stop at the Amish market along the way to pick up some cheese baked bread and whatnot. We made it to Carlisle around 11 or so and chilled with my aunt Jeannette and cousin Hope. I knew Brian was working, so the original plan was to call Glick. Heh, so I called Glick but she was under house arrest of sorts because her mom thought she wouldn't be ready to go back to college in time (a week from now). So, I just stayed at my aunt's house and ended up watching almost 3 movies until Brian was off of work and we were gonna meet up with the others. We got ahold of Alyssa and eventually Glick and Cara, so Brian and I headed to Denny's. As usual, Brian has his box of cards, so we ordered some food and started playing Magic while we waited for everyone else to get there. shortly after Alyssa gets there, our waitress comes and tells us we have to put the cards away because something the manager said, so Brian asks to talk to the manager. She comes over and says it's the law, we could be gambling (how does one gamble playing Magic?), etc., so Brian says we're gonna cancel the part of our orders that we didn't get yet cuz we were leaving. Craziness. We've always hung out at Denny's, and I've playing Magic there numerous times. Ho well. Alyssa was hanging out in Lancaster with someone, so she left, then we left and met up with Glick and Cara at the Waffle House (and saw a car fully engulfed in flames alongside the road on the way!). The Waffle House was fun times; it's guaranteed that it'll be a good time when the old group of friends from church camp get together cuz we're so ridiculous. I had forgotten how awesome Megan Glick is. This weekend was the first time both Brian and I had hung out with her in at least 2 years or so. We busted out a deck of playing cards and screwed like the old days. The best was me slapping a pair of 8's and Megan looking confused and saying "I didn't know we were playing with that rule", which was hilarious since slapping doubles is the crux of the game. After the monsoon subsided and we finished gorging ourselves, we bid farewell to Glick and Cara and went down to Lancaster to hang out with some of Brian's friends. They were cool people, we sat around and made fun of Brian's ex and her friend, had bottles of Rolling Rock, watched Orgasmo, and rocked out in their basement.

Saturday started off early since Brian had work at 8:30. I had forgotten why I hate beer so damn much until I woke up and had that yeast-growing-in-my-throat feeling that's oh so lovely. Since I made almost no plans for the weekend, I would've just sat around most of the day, but I worked with Brian. I could hack it working for Party Central, settin up tents and all that fun stuff. It was an easy day, so we would've been done really early, but the torrential downpour in the middle of setting up tents slowed us down a bit. Later on we went out to the company picnic and had some food, made fun of people, played hacky sack for a good half hour or more, then played volleyball (poorly) for quite a while. The people seem cool, and I got the same impressions of everyone that Brian had mentioned beforehand. After that we went to Cara's house where Brian, Todd, Cara, Glick and I watched Buying the Cow, which was a funny, good movie. After the movie we went to the Middlesex Diner and surely created quite a ruckus. It's unbelievible when you have all of us together; we were all cracking jokes and laughing our asses off. I think the most hilarious thing was these B. Moss fliers they had up at the counter. The slogan on the front says "It's never too early to think about being cool!". Hahahahaha, we all lost it. The company has to know how funny that is. Perhaps that's their trick. I dunno, it's absolutely hilarious, regardless. After the diner we went back to Cara's and watched tv for a bit then left around 2 and passed out not long after getting back to the ghetto.

It was nice to sleep in this morning. I got up and played some Megaman 2, NES style, then showered, then went with Brian to dump the mess of wood and leaves and everything they cleaned from their backyard after the storm. We went and dumped it where Brian's friend/Jen's ex-bf Kris works, talked to that crackhead for a little, then hit up Sheetz. Alyssa is a lazy bum and had just woken up at 2 something, so she declined the road trip to Wil Po idea with Brian and me. So, I got ahold of my mom and we thought about going to see The Village since Brian highly recommends it. We didn't get to my aunt's house until 10 of 4, and the movie started at 4, so we didn't go. Brian left, then I hung out at the house with my aunt and cousin and my other cousin Shawn and his fiancee for a while. We left around 5:30, hit up the Chinese buffet near school (and saw a whole group of SU people, 'twas weird), then came home afterwards. We stopped at the Radisson to check the schedule, and I wasn't expecting any hours, but I'm down for a little over 20. Works for me.

Excuse my ADD train of thought, but I was just thinking about something funny. It's funny how pissed people get by hearing the truth. A good example of this Brian was telling me involves this guy he works with, Vic, whom even I can tell must be a douche. Most people, unless they're just a complete fucktard, don't get bothered when they get made fun of, like being called a retard or crackhead or whatever, but when you make fun of them by saying something that's true, they get royally pissed. For example, Brian makes fun of Vic all the time (and it's always warranted), especially when it's a hot day and everyone's busting their ass and tired and Vic says something to Brian about being beat. Without hesitation, Brian lays it on him, commenting on how could he be beat when he drives around in a truck with AC and barely does anything? When someone does get pissed, it waves a flag that whatever was said is true and they're either ashamed or embarassed or something about it, otherwise they wouldn't have such a strong reaction about it.
