 I’m not going to talk about them.  If you want to know, ask me.  I won’t finish this blog if I start talking about everything…

 

Cross country is… alright, I guess.  Things hurt from time to time, but I’ll live…  Fuck, the freshmen are annoying.  There’s this one dumbass punk wannabe that’s just so annoying…  He won’t stop talking to us, even though there are plenty of freshmen on the team, and he seems incapable of saying anything intelligent.  I was asking Stephen what he thought the middle school XC team was doing (they were like… hopping 5-10 yards down the football field, not staying in any sort of recognizable formation [aka they're line kept braking apart]. he said he had no idea), and the freshman kid is just like “Well, you know, when you run, it hurts.  So maybe they’re just trying to get used to pain, so they can go faster!”  (It looked like they weren’t close to breaking a sweat).  The he continued.  “So, like if you stab your hand with a knife, you’ll be able to run faster!”  Stephen and I just kinda looked at him.  I was like “you know, that’s really not a good idea…”, and Stephen says “Actually, it’s a great idea! Go try it!”  Anyway.  He’s a pain in the ass.  I’m sure he’s just trying to fit in or something, but… cmon… go fit in with other freshmen or something.

 

Florida was fun.  Pictures!

 Mine:

Troop 4 - Florida Sea Base Trip

BTW, I did a lot of cool things with that.  You can view a map of the pictures, and you can view them in Google Earth.

God damit Amos…  I put up 83 pictures, so he puts up 92.  Granted, he did take like 600 to my 285… whatever.

xD I look weird in that…

I might do some sort of post with stories and stuff.  Maybe.

 

Waterworld on Sunday!  Elaine and Justine want to strap sandwiches to me and have me wear a baggy shirt, so it just looks like I’m fat or something.  It’s mainly Justine though.  Thomas doesn’t care xP.  Donno if that’s going to happen xD.

 

Owell, I’ll write more at some other point in time, I guess.

Florida!

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I’m leaving for Florida on Sunday.  Oh and guess when the plane leaves!!! 6:40!!! AM!!!!!   :( .  So that means I’ve got to be there by 5:30, leave at 4:30, wake up at 3:30… You get the picture.  I’m just not going to bed that night…

Have you ever witnessed a large number of adults try to plan an incredibly simple event before?  In the past 48 hours, I’ve seen 32 emails from almost every adult in the troop.  And finally, I think we’re getting somewhere on whether to carpool or take BART back from SFO at 6 PM.  -_-.  I’ve literally got about 5-10 different emails debating which BART line the Rockridge and Lake Merrit stations are on.

Oh yea!  I’m going sailing, BTW.  With my scout troop.  16 scouts (Troop 4 scouts ;) ), 2 adults (Mr. Kelly and my dad), and 4 sea base scouts (no idea how old they are).  Sailing from just outside Miami to Key West and back. I can’t wait :) .  Of course, we get back the 20th.  So we all miss walk-through registration…  Oh well.  I’ll have fun.

Oh, one more thing.  The email count is up to 33, with an email from Linli Lee (holy crap…), saying her son and 3 other scouts are going to just bypass the carpool we just set up. wtf…
