alright so I had a very interesting week
I doubt anyone reads this thing anymore but just in case you do, here’s a (not so) little write-up. It's worth at least skimming over.. broken ankle, car breaking down, other fun/ funny stuff
the carwash last weekend was very very successful and we raised 2100 dollars for charity. thanks for everyone’s support.
Tuesday morning hurdles practice, I hit one of the hurdles and took a nose dive, landing funny and causing my ankle to swell up instantly
I walked on it thinking it was just a sprain until Thursday when the orthopedic finally took a look at it (and the x-rays). well I guess on top of being a bad sprain, it was also chipped in one spot and possibly fractured in another so they put me in a cast. damn thing is hard to sleep in and the crutches get old very quickly.
Friday I went to this dance concert thing at Marlborough. it was actually pretty good and really energetic. and I got to help clean up stuff from the bake sale! that was fun. I experienced the grove for the first time as well. that place is so cool. live music, a big fountain thingy, good food, fancy movie theatres where the ticket people wear funny hats, SMART parking lots that tell you how many spots there are on each floor, and other cool stuff.
Saturday is the really interesting part of my story. so I was supposed to go to Santa Monica but was really planning on going to citywalk, but plans changed once again to go to this carnival thing at a friend’s old school. well it was awesome (other than the fact that they wouldn’t allow me on any rides, silly carnies). I met a bunch of really cool people that I hope I get to hang out with again. fun group. keep reading. the suspense is killing me too.
for a good (true) story, read on
then the drama..... my car was giving me problems that night. major problems. it was sputtering and clunking and doing all kinds of weird stuff. wasn’t the gas (I just filled up), wasn’t oil, wasn’t the radiator or temperature, wasn’t the parking brake (haha first thing I checked..), it was just bad. instead of catching a movie I decided the safest thing would be to drive home and have my dad look at it. well getting on the freeway (the 101 coldwater onramp to be exact), my car sputtered and died. completely. blocking a lane of traffic. so me, being the smart kid that I am put on my emergency lights and got out of the car, walked down a freeway onramp on crutches, and stood on the corner trying to flag down help (to push the car to a safer spot or to stop traffic so I could put it in neutral and guide it down off the freeway onramp, or anything) and everyone saw me with my suspicious looking crutches and "fake" cast and when they passed me they locked their doors and rolled up their windows. greatttttt. ok so next I decide to try calling 911 and asking to be connected to the police department, because a police officer would be able to block traffic for me and save my car from being demolished... well with my luck, I got the message "all operators are busy, please try again later". great to know, especially if someone’s life was on the line (luckily it wasn’t, it was just my car being in a very dangerous spot and not working at all). anyways I give up on that idea and decide to wait and call my dad for help. well my luck got good for a second and across the street was a chp officer filling up on gas. I start waving frantically and yelling officer and he sees me and puts his hand up telling me to wait. after he writes down a bunch of stuff off the gas pump (I guess to be reimbursed for gas money or something), he turns on his lights and crosses the street to see what’s going on. I explain to him the situation and he is very understanding. he goes back to his car and says some police jargon on the radio. within minutes another cop car and a cop on a motorcycle show up, and all that’s going through my mind is shit I'm really not faking the cast thing and my car isn’t stolen, don’t arrest me. (see I made a joke earlier this week about breaking something and getting arrested.. well I really broke something and the whole karma thing was kinda haunting me). anyways they debate their options and instead of arresting me (phew), guiding me off the onramp backwards in neutral (damn.. that would have been fun), or just leaving me there waiting for triple a, they decide to push me up to the top of the ramp, pretty much onto the freeway, into an emergency lane. so I go back into my car and the cop tells me to buckle up, put my foot on the brake, and shift into neutral. I do all that and he full on rear ends me. so I’m just like uhhhh ok and I steer it up to the top, following his loudspeaker orders. we get to the top and he tells me to stay in the car and stay buckled up, and then he’s like, ill call triple a for you. and I’m like ok cool. then he leaves without ticketing me or anything. and I wait. and wait. and wait some more. after like half an hour I call triple a myself and explain the scenario. they are like well yes this incident was reported but the officer didn’t give us your member number so there may be delays in the response. I’m just like well I have a triple a card, can I give you the number. so I give them the number and there’s this big hassle over how I’m Chris, Sean and Inez’s son, and it’s under their name. so after a big long talk with a seemingly very confused aaa guy, they decide to call my dad to seek approval to send a tow truck out. I’m just like damn it come help me, I’m stuck on the side of a freeway and this is why my parents pay you. how nice of my dad, he approved them to save my ass. ok so after like another 45 minutes of waiting, a big tow truck shows up and I explain the whole situation once again. he tells me to get in his truck (which is very very difficult to do on crutches in a cast, especially since I had to climb through due to the fact that the passenger side was right up against a wall on the side of the freeway). so I’m just sitting there waiting some more and eventually he gets the car up on the platform thing and tells me he can tow me home since we have the deluxe towing package. then we head off and there is a big 10 minute period of awkward silence. then he offers me a cigarette, and I’m like no thank you I don’t smoke. haha. so we start talking, after all he is now my bumpy tow truck road trip travel buddy for the next hour. we talk about girls, sports, and our families’ histories. turns out he’s an Armenian that grew up in Russia. interesting. then it gets scary (as if it wasn’t already), for a second at least. his cell phone rings, but his cell phone is under his seat. well he starts looking under his seat for his ringing cell phone, and we full on swerve into another lane and the honking from like 3 different cars and my semi rude comments bring his attention back to the road. ok so more driving and interesting conversations, and we finally get to my house. he parks in front of the house (in reverse so his truck is beeping), and waits for my dad to pull his pt cruiser out of the driveway. so during these five minutes of loud beeping lights go on in the neighbor’s houses, and one neighbor even runs across the street.. I guess it was a little loud. o and btw my car broke down relatively early (8:30ish, and I got home around midnight.. yes a very dramatic and long night, and I didn’t even get to see a movie). ok so he gets the car in the driveway and I call it a night. I tipped him rather well (after all he did drive me like 25 miles and he saved my ass). ok so you might think that’s the end of the story. well there’s a little bit more. this morning my dad decided that he should help me empty my car so that we could take it into a shop (which are all closed on Sundays btw). well it was fun explaining to my dad why I had his missing dress shoes, 11 bottles of water, and other stuff.. including the girl scout cookies he just bought and thought were in the cupboard, and my sisters basketball, pink shoelaces, and lots of other junk. haha at least my cars clean now, but it kinda won’t turn on or go anywhere.... and that’s the end of that story.
and I don’t think I've ever written so many messed up sentences in my life (and it’s the weekend before the sat....), o well. I think I still got the point across lol. and if you read all of this I applaud you.
haha cya,

i liked livejournal so much more, but everyones dissapearing and going off to MySpace, and I am following blindly in their path. damn peer pressure. I'll probably still check this every once in a while so I know whats going on with you straggelers.. you know who you are. Ahh the fads, first it was hula hoops, then furbies, then those annoying little keychain pets (you know you had one!), then the pokeyman cards, and next the online journals.. xanga thats long dead (and always froze my computer), the infamous livejournal, and now myspace. whats new for 2005? only time will tell. or a time machine, but i dont have one.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE and see you on myspace!

ok this thing is awesome!! lol
"how do it know" lol
um normal day today.. except i got jug for being late to chemistry class, which is reallly lame since the only reason i was late was because at lunch i had to go to photography class to work on the hand colored image project and cleaning up took longer than it should have.. o well

lol ok, interesting day
WHERE ARE MY SUNGLASSES? lol ok anyways
first of all, since footballs over, i am carpooling with casey frost again.. he got in the car this morning and when the music started he looked at me, laughed, and asked.. is this your cd? haha well i of course nodded and laughed back, and then he said soemthing along the lines of i thought you hated rap... haha the look on his face was priceless tho lol
in english class we finnally were able to get ms nolan off topic! haha score
haha o and for the diez take home test... well the biggest cheating ring ever was formed lol.. two test answer sheets were put together (almost identical with two or three differences) and were passed around online, over the phone, and at school.. so mr diez's 4 us history classes all copyed off of 2 people.. wow lol, its so sad you cant help but laughing.. diez knows its going on too lol, tis a shame i have to miss his class tommorow for court (yes again.. this time for the second ticket)
the next interesting thing to happen was after school.. i went to steve's charlbroiled burgers or whatever to buy lunch, and when i whipped out the infamous duck tape wallet this old guy that works for some construction company was like wow thats cool! where did you buy that! lol and then to my surprise, the guy in line behind me pulls out hius wallet and it was made of duck tape also.. lol he was stunned to see me with one and wanted my help to start a business, and i just laughed.. haha but o the coincidence!
on the drive home i came to a four way stop sign intersection, one thats usually always cclear.. well today four cars pulled up at the exact same time from all directions (i was one of them) and we all just stared aimlessly at each other waiting for the person on the right to go.. o wait.. its a circle; haha anyways after a few seconds two of the cars start to go and almost hit each other and i just wait till they are all gone before leaving.. it was one of those you had to be there things... lol
almost no homework tonight and a half day so no one was online when i wrote most of this.. hence the long entry
other interesting stuff happened too.. but im going to go study for latin like a good boy and then head off back to loyola for the water polo banquet
water polo banquet in a few hours.. should be fun

| » HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! |
|---|
once again, sorry for the lack of updates
ive been pretty busy and my parents dont want me on the internet on school nights
anyways, im at my grandparents house right now way up north in beautiful (o wait its raining) Redding California. I left from school yesterday and spent more than ten hours in the car.. thank you holiday traffic My family left right after school (around 1) and we didn’t get here untill 11:30 last night. On the way up we stopped at a starbucks (well other places too, but no stories about the other stops…). I orderred a small eggnog latte and waited and waited. Eventually I grew impatient and asked them what was taking so long. They had made it 10 minutes before and given it to the wrong person. So there I was, cold and coffeeless. In exchange for my wait, they gave me a large along with a coupon for a free coffee next time I go.. not too bad if you ask me.
some other funny stories:
the other day in latin class the room flooded.. yes you read that right, a room on the third floor of loyola hall with no water pipes nearby and no rain flooded.. how did that happen, you might wonder.. well it all started when johnathan summers spilled his large 1 gallon water container (can you even call it a bottle anymore when its that big). He bolted from the room yelling to the teacher that he was getting paper towels because of his little spill.. haha little……. Anyways, the maintenance guys came up to clean up the floor, along with their big yellow bucket of water to like mop other stuff. Well some genius tripped over the big yellow bucket, spilling 5 more gallons of water, after most of the mess had been cleaned up mind you. So that’s the story of how latin class flooded, almost everyones backpack got wet, and why water was coming out of mr ebiners latin class.
Another brief story.. on the drive up (while I was driving), my mom told me to get in the right lane (of a two lane highway filled with trucks) because we were approaching a junction and we would need to go right. Well this junction didn’t come and didn’t come, and soon enough we were like ok forget it, the trucks are going too slow. In a few hours we switched drivers, and about half an hour later we came to the junction. I know being early is important, but 200 miles early is a bit much, wouldn’t you say? lol.
K thats all for now.. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Be sure to call me and leave me a nice voicemail message, I probably wont get to talk to any of you untill Saturday or so..
