Thanksgiving break was spent with joel, house-sitting for his parents while they were out of the country. It was pretty fun, though I don’t think I ever want to eat another hotpocket again ever ever ever…lol We got started on a series called Ouran Highschool Host Club, which was actually pretty funny. I liked the blonde guy, I forget his name.
I’ve started getting into a lot of outdoor sports. Donny keeps calling me up like, “hey, ya wanna go on a winter hike?” or “hey, ya wanna go on a nighttime bikeride?” and so I’ve been spending a lot of time running around in the foothills and cycling through the city with him. I swear…that kid must have like 5 lungs or something. He just keeps going and going and going somehow. I remember he once claimed to be an extraterrestrial…maybe he wasn’t joking. You guys probably think I’m not being serious, but you guys didn’t see how far this kid can go. We went hiking in the mountains the other day with Will, and Donny’s all, “hey, lets jog!” and he takes off so I follow him. The pace isn’t so fast so I think I can keep up at first, but pretty soon I’m not so sure because he’s been running for a while and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Further on, he’s still running along like some Kenyan and I’m choking and gasping behind him. Now the thing that makes this all the more humiliating is that Donny is wearing a backpack and I’m not. It’s the same way with when we go biking. We’ll both start out fine, racing along the streets and parks, but sooner or later I start to lose strength cuz, you know, I’m a human being, and sure enough Donny still seems to be in the same state as we started in…it’s just not natural. Donny’s an alien. Anyways…lately me and donny and will have been talking about parkouring (free-running). I think it’d be amazing amounts of fun and I’m super excited about it.
I’ve also been trying to get involved with this effort to feed homeless people downtown every Sunday. Sunflower market has a butt-load of produce that they’ll donate to us for taking down to the homeless near nob hill. I’m really excited about it because I’ve always been passionate about humanitarian causes and this is what I’ve always wanted to do and now I’m finally getting a chance to get involved and get something done.
