A. I died.
B. I was knocked into a coma for several months
C. I was kidnapped by rabid wallabies and forced into hard labor mining plantains while they replaced me with a robot duplicate until I escaped over the electric barb wire fence patrolled by land sharks using only a pocketknife, a piece of paper, and a leaf. I may have lost a limb in the process.
D. Laziness
If you answered C you are correct.
So anyway onto the blog. I'm taking a nice relaxing semester filled with Chemistry and Calculus (yes you read that right; I'm weird) doing lots of running for track and having a good time hanging out with my friends like going to the coast for which I lack pictures otherwise I would show them. Suffice to say, it was fun.
A week ago life became insane. Fortunately it was only a case of temporary insanity. It all started when I ran 25 laps around a track. Normally most people would classify this as insane behavior. I was helped by Riley and Bethany shouting random whatevers at me throughout the race. It really helped to break up the monotony of the race and I waited with eager anticipation at what random thing they would shout at me next. Not content with running just 25 laps I decided to run 12 and a half the next day thinking "It can't be that bad." It could be. 300 meters into it (or 10 and 3/4 laps to go) I thought, "This race is going to suck." That was a very accurate sentiment, but fortunately it was half the length of the other one.
Somehow I pulled through and then stayed in Portland with Aaron, Bethany, Benton, Heather, and Riley. We had a blast eating at a Mexican place, playing Wii, playing on the weird string thingy that was at a playground by Dilla's house, and then crashing at Dillas followed the next day by me waking up feeling like the guy from Avatar (this has to do with my legs, not me turning into a blue man with an electro sensor chip coming out of my ponytail) and then the girls making us pancakes (which were basically drops of heaven rolled up into dough) and then us having an epic drive back with quick stops at the shoe store whose name I forget and Bethany's house for lunch. Oh, and Dilla knows what happened on that trip that I want him to do for Mr. Beacon. If he consents, it'll be epic.
The above paragraph was the non-insane part. The insanity picks up again on Monday. Jedidiah approaches me and asks how I would feel about being a write-in candidate for Student Body President. I figure he's joking since the elections are oh, really far off, you know only two days away. Anyway, he wasn't and he proceeded to by the end of that night tell me he had fifty supporters for me. Well this was flattering news, but I was trying to distract myself from the attention by chowing down wings at Applebee's where we went to for Mark's birthday. Applebee's is forever linked in my mind to Strong Bad. Here's why. http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail205.html
Anyway, I digress. I tell Jed I'll think about it. Much praying, stressing, calling my Mom and Dad, brother, and Ferfer, and multiple texts from Jed that essentially break down to "Can I start campaigning now?", I finally decide at about 5:30 that night that I'm not doing it. Well actually I kind of let Excel decide. Brandon had suggested to flip a coin and if it came up one way and you were happy with that, then do that, but if you want to change it, then you should do what you want to change it to. Never content with using a coin, I used Microsoft Excel's RANDBETWEEN function with 1 being "do it" and 2 being "don't". It came up 2. And when Excel tells you not to do something, you should listen. That and I was content with the decision. So insanity cooled down after that.
What else? There was a really fun scavenger hunt I went on recently. Heather and Bethany made it for me, Cody, Jeremy, Benton, and his brother who's visiting. (My brother will hopefully be visiting over Easter) We went around campus collecting letters and doing random crazy stuffs. They should do that again. And I have another meet this Friday. This time I'm going to try the 12 and a halfer without running 25 laps first.
Anyway, I feel like I should leave you with something cool, something amazing, something awesome. I don't really feel like I have anything. I feel like I need a picture of a ninja with a chainsaw attacking Godzilla. Unfortunately, I do not have such picture. So I shall give you a picture of what Godzilla would see five minutes later.
So yeah, that's what I've got. I'll hop in probably sometime later. Hopefully my brother shows up during Easter. I think I hear the wallabies knocking on the door. Gotta go.
