So so so.... Past week was, different. I had the oldest class for the week and also the oldest class I've ever had at ages 14 to 16. That was definately different given at that age they are alot smarter and often will do their own thing. Yep. Little kids often get distracted easily, but will keep to what they're doing. These guys..... flash games like nuts. That and trying to get past the system security. Anyway the end movie was recieved by other instructors and family much better than I had initially thought of it myself. so that's always a perk.
So as for the weekend, on to that! So Friday was fun times. All of us from work went to Laser Quest and had a private game. That was fun to play again. Then we went to see Snakes on a Plane. Omg... that movie is so bad it's brilliant. Definately will be a cult movie, if it's not already. And then we headed to In N Out after that. Yay....
So then on to Saturday, that was QUITE a day. Now I slept in a deal as I was up late. Woke up to get a haircut, car was out. Did finally get one tho. Got home, I think I did, hell what did I do? Anyway. Later that evening I went to the San Mateo county fair with my brother. There was a group called Mutaytor performing and looked interesting. Well going to the fair was well worth it. Was a good evening out, and Mutaytor was AWESOME!!!! I don't know how to fully explain it. Lots of percussion. LOTS!!! They're cool, check them out.
Then, as has been planed for almost a month now, and I'd keep getting pushed back. So FINALLY we had saturday set in. Originally we were goign to go up to San Fran, but then it was like "eh." And Brian sugested just going to Dakotas in Santa Cruz, now that sounded like a good idea to me so I made the drive down.
Well that was a FUN evening. One, I got to see him and hang out. It's been fucking forever. And two just got to chill and dance some and have a drink or two. (Well it was actually one...)
Now the latter part of the evening, that was sorta odd. So we go to leave, and I go to pick up my sweatshirt. Aparently there was a mixup and this other guy picked it up. Well fortunately he was just outside so I was able to get it from him. Shortly after I reclaimed my jacket, he called me over. I could tell immedately he was getting more than friendly with me. This was evident when he was getting much closer to me, and so on so forth. And there was some short making out, and so on... And yeah, totally wanted me to come with him. But I was being totaly counter to that. Not that I'm oposed to that, cuz I wouldn't have been making out with him if that was the case. No, I was here with my friend and I came here to hang out with him, not to hook up. Sorry, gimme your number and I'll call you. Which he was holding his number ransom from me for quite some time ideally in hopes of me giving in and just coming along.
And ya know, I still feel like such a prick. Cuz shit, I was so going along with this guy early on. I mean in one way I look back on it and I'm kinda suprised how I've actually got the whole "standard" down and do the whole flirt thing (to my advantage) well. But the whole time I kept feeling like such an asshole cuz I'm doing all this shit right there IN FRONT of my friend. Fucking a, I'm such a prick at times. And Brian even told me that I could have gone along with my new "friend." But I told him, no way I was here to chill with him. And even tho I said it a few times then to him, I still feel like an ass for that. I mean not to make excuses but the other guy DID start it first.
So after that we just walked around and then sat down and chatted some with Brian. Was good to catch up about stuff and just to talk in general. Finally left there, oh no idea, late, like 3am maybe. Well not that late, whatever.
Now here's where it starts getting scarry. I'm driving back to San Mateo and I can feel my car's not acting right, and I mean on an engine level. So I'm noticing some odd knocking vibrations/feelings coming from the engine, so I take it easy. Which is kinda a letdown cuz it's like 3am on highway 17, so you can fly thru it doing wide turns and such. Blah. Anyway I sort of do weird throttling to keep it on par as it was loosing and re-gaining power intermittently. So finally I see my "Check Engine" light come on. FUCK, my immedate reaction. May I say that when the only light you can see is your headlights shining on area in front and your dash lights, that little warning light is DAMN ASS bright! Anyway, the good news is I got home fine. The car tho is currently "flagged" as "Do not drive. Get to mechanic STAT."
So hopefuly it won't be too bad. But it could be some serious issues, or something not too bad. I'm thinking it's either the ignition system, but more likely I think it's something up with the fuel injection system. Given the nature of the intermittence of the problem and how I used twice as much fuel on the trip back, that's my thought of the issue. We shal see.
Anyway so back to camp, it's the last week!! So far it's odd, it feels so small, with only 15 overnight kids to take care of, 50 or so overnighters in total. Normally we're at 80 or so almost, and typically 216 campers daily in total. This week, it's like 135 campers daily in total.
Now the fun part comes next week, getting all my shit together for school and also moving into my new place. Blah. And I've still got to sort out classes and also figure out if I'm going to LA for the High End Systems training. Gowad I want to so badly, but it conflicts with the first day of classes. Given I don't have all my classes filled out, this is kinda a problem. Well shal have to get to that. Anyway, so that was this crazy weekend. Time to sleep now. Woo SUMMER!
