Jack came on Friday this week. It was really awesome.
Friday: I went with Maddy to pick Jack up from the airport. It was a real bitch. We got lost but then finally found the cell phone lot where you wait to pick them up at the baggage claim:
Maddy: There's a stop sign.
Me: *Heavily applying brakes* FUCK!
We finally got him, drove home, ate at Spiro's, and then played some Wii at Maddy's house. It was cool and we stayed up late.
Saturday:
We woke up and had a crappy breakfast, probably. This day was the day for my EAGLE CEREMONY. We did "Jack shit" until the ceremony at the Richmond Rec Center. It was so cool and anyone that missed it should be ashamed. After, we hung out with Orion and David. We went to Dick's and then the Northgate Mall, where I acquired some nice video games. Orion realized, and I quote, that "girls are hot!" It was awesome. We played some Gears at David's after, then came back to my house and watched Idiocracy. It is now my favorite movie. So funny and so much social commentary. "Next on the violence channel: a new 'Ow my balls!'"
Sunday:
Charlie made delicious pancakes for breakfast, according to the Hill tradition. After breakfast we went on a big walk of Shoreline, took some pictures, and realized that everything was basically closed. We were so tired when we got back. I played Fire Emblem while Jack slept for two hours straight. We went and watched Borat at Maddy's house, and we played a killer game of Clue was well. It was indeed the very good.
Monday: BUS TRIP TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON!! Orion was supposed to meet us and go with us but he slept too late. But we waited for the wrong bus anyway and wound up at the SCC at like 11:00 Luckily, Charlie was heading into Ballard and we caught a ride with him. We went there to find that most registration stuff is online-based, so it was basically a wasted trip. We explored some of the buildings and libraries there but I mean really, what can you do? We boarded the bus for home, surviving a jerky bus driver on the way. Finally, it was time for the uber GEARS OF WAR PARTY at David's house. And man did it pwn. Orion, Jack, David, Jake, Steven, Jacob, Jack Lee, and I microed it up all night long. There were some killer Gear moves, proving that Orion and I and Jack and I can nearly almost maybe somewhat hold our own against the uber team of david and steven. Not really. We watched Young Frankenstein. Jake really loved it. It's a good one.
Tuesday:
Today was a late start. Jack went running and I played Fire Emblem and the clarinet to entertain myself until his return. Hot cross buns for breakfast; yum indeed. We got to hang out for a little while until Jack went to lunch with Linnea and later to coffee with Maddy. I mowed some lawns and had a good lunch with Charlie. After that, we drove around to Jack's remaining visits, including Einstein, Shorewood, and the Shoreline Bank. His house as well. This was indeed the day for Maddy's 1337 party. Orion, David, Jack, and I left for ice cream and later returned packing GBAs and DSs. It was sweet. We talked a lot and I got to show off my piano micro. In all, a sweet time.
Tomorrow...we have absolutely no idea of what the hell we are going to do, but it had better be awesome because we'll never see him again, in all likelihood.
