self-titled: ^_^
in loving memory of shaw's baby fresh cut carrots
yeah, so retreat ruled. Started out at dinner with the bostonians and lori and coral from the real world, the latter of which threw a meatball at john. Then, we waited for an eternity to actually leave BC in the cars, and then drove down. My car was richard (new kid) john and katie. We listened to my pop mixes and john talk the entire ride. It was fun, especially when john made all 3 cars pull over so he could pee and then he had performance anxiety and couldn't get any out. Also, there was an ambulance behind karleen and she panicked and slammed on the brakes. Yeah, slammed on the brakes. I almost rear-ended an ambulance. Her excuse? She thought it was a cop. riiiiiiiight.
Got down to the cape and went out shopping with sean katie and karleen and dimitrios. At the first store, the girls went to get booze and i got out of the car for a smoke, then sean and dimitrios left the car too and then we hung around the car in the liquor store parking lot with the trunk open for some inexplicable reason. Needless to say, we were spotted and the girls left with no alcohol. Then we went to another place and stayed in the car. Then came food shopping. We ran around the store like jackasses and picked up $200 worth of eats.
Back to Leen's house, we sang, and then we drank. Kicked off with morgan's and then a power hour and then a doomed game of I never. It's safe to say that we all got pretty damn drunk. It was a hell of a time though. The powerhour was a huge hit. Next day we slept, ate breakfast, did some shit, and i finally started teaching beautiful day in earnest at around 4pm. Mike was looking like johnny knoxville so katie and mike sang the jackass song and jackassian fun ensued. We were mainly joking around and not really doing anything till later though.
I thought beautiful day. It was a harrowing experience, but we put it together and umm, it sounds unbelievably cool. Big ups to me. Dimitrios cooked us dinner, rizzoto or something and an amazing pork tenderloin. Ate, drank, sang a little more, and then drank. Morale was low before and after dinner, but once the alcohol started flowing it was good times again. Started with another powerhour, people only wanted to do half, but katie and I agreed that it would be very awkward to stop at the halfway point. So she devised a plan wherein i would skip past number 30 (living on a prayer), thus keeping people from hearing the dead giveaway "woaah we're halfway there" but i screwed it up. everyone did a full hour anyway though. We played kings, truth or dare maybe, some wackiness went down. Jackass started up again by mike punching me in the arm, then i threw water at mike or katie and tackled katie. then katie and i threw wax fruit at mike's nuts. Hilarity ensued. In fact, hilarity was the keynote speaker of the entire weekend. I had such a good time it's unbelievable.
Sunday morning rolled around, the cool room stayed in bed as people came in one by one to get us up. someone: "you guys NEED to get up now, we're leaving in 20 minutes." sean: "I agree with you completely." and then they left and we laughed and stayed in bed. The ride home was fine, our car ate at mcdonalds and picked up lori from the real world who drove us home, and then bostonians waited for an hour to sing two songs on bapst after the mass of the holy spirit.
then i got home, and after doing my music homework for sarah, i convinced she and tara that it was in their best interest to do a powerhour with me. And they did. And then there was more drinking. Then brenda came home and there was some drinking on that front. And then kate went back to sean's place to bring back the bostonians wine in a box. hilarity ensued. No wait, no hilarity. But a good night nonetheless.
classed it up like a mofo today. Got home at 7ish and tim had made dinner and i arrived just in time to not have to eat my plate alone. It was good. And then i did music stuff which i continue to do. Somewhere i ought to do my quickie systems analysis homework. i also think there might be beirut in my future.
also, "i'm feeling much better now" us: AHHHHHH
if i'm forgetting anything from retreat that needs remembering, please let me know. Such as the time everyone sleeping got their face written on with green marker. Things like that.
