update on the past week
Friday: Went down to my parents' place for dinner with them, David, Adam, and his girlfriend Nicole. Then back up to the city to go dancing with the brothers and Nicole. Got spooked when I thought I saw an ex client sitting on the curb as we stood in line at the dance club.
Saturday: Hung out with Adam during the day. Went to the Opera and saw John Adam's Nixon in China, which was really interesting. Also saw Dr. Bode at a Whitman alumni pre performance lecture he gave at the opera. It was really nice to see him again. After the opera, Adam and I met up with Rylee and David. We drove around and argued about dinner for a while and then David left. Then Adam and Rylee and I had a nice dinner and evening at the Blue Moon.
Sunday: Had lunch with Rylee and her mom and brother. It was nice to meet them, but a little awkward overall. Met some nice dogs. Hung out with Rylee, shopmonkey, and the_drifter in the evening, which was awesome. Made tasty chicken fajitas, talked about stuff, laughed. Jen played video games. She's going to play Tekken with me!
Monday: Work. Blah. Don't really remember it.
Tuesday: Went to the beach with Rylee. It was nice. A little chillier than I would have liked though. We stayed the night. I can fit a twin size air mattress in the back of my car when the seats are folded down.
Wednesday: Woke up at the beach. Still chilly. Beach = nice. Drove back to Portland, dropped Rylee off, drove down to my parents house to spend the rest of the day with them. Talked about my life, considered options for my future.
Thursday: Today. Work was crazy crazy. Clients had planned a "riot." Riot turned out to be four girls making noise, ripping posters off the walls, hugging each other, and then sitting down on the floor and waiting for us to consequence them. Not really much of an actual riot. I mean really, where was the violence? The looting? The tear gas? Seriously though, it was a big disruption. We had to take three of them kicking and screaming to seclusion. One of them hocked a loogey across the seclusion room and onto my chest (though as it hit me she sincerely said "Sorry Ben, that wasn't supposed to be for you!"). Bitch. Went on dorm shut down afterward. Crazy day.
