okay, so this is how the military ball went.
the trolley was like, 30 minutes late, so we were standing by the road with people honking at us and it was all weird like cause me and randi dont reall associate with them people in rotc cause it's like... yeah, they're all weirdos.
okay, then on the trolley ride there we were gettin all these weird stares from people, but i got back at them. when this one guy who randi knew was walking past, i scared him into thinkin' i was gay. score!
okay, and then when we got to the convention center, randi and i were wandering around like a pair of lost bozo's. pretty nuts bah. okay, yeah so we were wanderin' around for a little more than an' hour. but we were able to take our pictures within that hour. plus, we didnt have to wait in a rediculously long line because we chose the backgrounds nobody liked. it pays off to be different. plus, the PS2 box was like the only prop from EVERYONE that i saw. i was so proud of myself carrying around the only prop. oh, plus i was the only one with a kukui nut shell lei. yeah...
okay, and then it was like, time for the formal crap so they were doin' this toast thing, only nobody could hear what the toasts were, so everyone was like waiting for the people in the front to say something and then everyone else in the back (us) would just mumble something too. it was pretty stupid.
okay... dinner. dinner was okay i guess. the food was pretty good, but there wasn't enough time to get like seconds and stuff. i like food and i was kinda sad that i couldn't get more. but i guess i got my $20 worth.
hmm...
okay, yeah. after dinner they did like some entertainment, wasn't really entertaing because i couldn't see anything. i was kinda angry. grr... oh well, it was only the kings guard doing the same sequence they always do. which is basically the same sequence everyone in hawaii does, including roosevelt's own drill team.
okay, so anyway. yeah, they were doing this thing where they retire the colors before the dance started. and i was standing behind sheldon, so i took it upon my self to blow on the back of his neck. why? i dont know why. it just felt like the thing to do. he gave me this weird look after. i was pretty pleased with myself.
hmm...
okay, and then, the dance started, so me and randi went outside so she could take a shit or something in the can, and i was outside talking to 1Sgt. thornton from castle. i told him about my plan to be a teenager the rest of my life. he laughed and said he tried it but it didnt work. oh well, i'm still gonna milk it for all it's worth. yeah... and then me and randi sat down outside. and then we decided to look for denise. when we saw the size and sheer amount of people on the dance floor, we just said fuck this and went to the table. we gave the DJ 3 songs to play something slow, but he didn't, and the dance had been going on for quite some time. it should've been enough to play something slow, but nooooo he didnt so we left.
randi called her parents and asked them to pick us up. so we were waiting downstairs and then we saw jason, kristin, and darren. we were talking to them for a while. jason said that when casey waikiki was at basics, there was this one drill sgt. who always had him say his full name because like hawaiians typically have these multi word names that take like two or three breaths to say, and on the mainland thats really uncommon, so he always got a kick out of it. i found it slightly ammusing. so did kristin 'cause she was giggling. but then again, she's always giggling. oh and jason showed her how to fight mohamed (sp?) ali style. kinda cool.
and then randi's dad picked us up and played taxi. that was pretty dope yo.
okay, so then we get to randi's house and she pulls a pair of pants for me to wear cause all i had was my uniform and that wasn't cool. i dont like wearing my uniform. infact, right now it's all squished in my PS2 box so i could carry it easier.
so yeah, at randi's hosue, we watched shrek. oh and randi's little sister got two lectures from her dad to leave us alone. hillarity. pure hillarity. is hillarity a word? must be... i just used it three times. ???
so, anyway, yeah, we watched shrek and then we danced the night away with that stuff... called music. oh and we watched jim carey in that movie... with that lady. and the boys... me, myself and irene! yeah, thats the one. good times...
and then i had to go home. what hard luck eh? i didnt even get to see the end of the movie. damn...
oh well. t'was a good night. yeah...
