Week 2 of IMSA

Sunday: Tyler, Jason, Colin and I went to Mathiessen State Park . We hiked around on land and through water, climbed rocks and waterfalls, swam, and even slid down some other waterfalls. There was a girl there that had found a baby grackle, and she was carrying the bird around because they had bonded. It was really cool.
Tyler dropped his sunglasses in the water, so I searched for them and found them! Yay me! ...except after that I broke them because I didn't see where they were. Damnit.

It was uber fun. Then we drove to Ottawa and went to a Papa John's pizza place. I drove without a shirt on. My shirt was all wet, so I had to borrow Tyler's to get the pizza. No shirt, no service. (The shoes didn't matter.)
So Colin and I waited for the pizza with Jason and Tyler in the car, and we drove down by the flooded Illinois River and found a picnic table. And when we got there, there was this short old guy cussing at everything as he was walking across the river bridge next to us. It was hilarious. "SHIT SHIT SHITTY SHIT SHIT!!" And he stuck up his middle finger and yelled "FUCK YOU" even though no one was there. We all thought he had tourette's.

So we ate the pizza and then walked along the submerged riverwalk. There were lamps along the riverwalk, and the water came up to a foot high on every one. After that, we headed home along Route 71, getting stuck behind a bunch of slowasses as usual.

Yesterday, our Applied Engineering class partook in a cardboard boat race! Our team consisted of me, Connor, Luke, and Neal. Our boat refused to sink. It was ripped apart and it still didn't sink. It had probably 10 gallons of water in it; Luke was practically swimming but still in the boat. Our boat certainly wasn't the fastest, though. Its sides were basically trapezoids 6 feet long at the top and 3-4 feet long at the bottom, and 14 inches high. Can't forget the 14 inches. We were the U.S.S. Arrgh; a mix of Soviets and pirates. So I decided our flag would be a Jolly Roger except with a hammer and sickle instead of crossbones.

Today we went laser tagging- Me, Zexi, Julian, Ashwin, Anthony, Jackson, Lawrence, Thomas, and Dean. And Macy came with us but decided not to laser tag (Lame). I sucked but got progressively better each time. There were "bases" that each team could "attack" by firing at it. Zexi raped the hell out of the other team's base, I got raped, and Ashwin was healing people even as his codename was "AIDS." That made a LOT of fking sense.
I was Captain Planet because Dean was the Juggernaut, so he could say that he saw me. You wouldn't get it if you didn't see this: http://www.gofish.com/player.gfp?gfid=30-1025329

Then we came back to find one of our sophomores beaten up. Apparently it was a kid that I always knew was fucked up but no one believed me. I like having the ability to sense fucked-up-ness. We'll see how this turns out, and what happens to that shithead.

I actually have school tomorrow! ...I have only wellness, band, and Japanese on A and C days. That doesn't take much. Just one more day to do homework, I guess.

LOL, when I was going to type 'homework' I accidentally typed 'homowork.'

Off to bed!

Your sophomores got *beat up*? WTF?

How did you get to go laser tagging? It sounds like a lot of fun.
