Several Events
Friday night Robin Kivlen had a party. It was pretty for awesome. Now Robin I have known since 4th grade I believe, though we have gone to seperate schools most of the time since.. but we've hung out like once a year in that time... so all these people at his party were like "hey I met you once three years ago." It was weird. And then a few Diedrichs kids showed up, namely Olivia, and Alyssa.
Most of the kids were Capo graduates. Lets review: Robin's friends - from Capo HS; Diedrichs kids - from Capo HS; Liz's friends who I hung out with all last summer - from Capo HS; where did I go? - Mission Viejo HS. I swear I should just start wearing a Capo HS shirt or something.
There was this guy Brad whom neither he nor I could convince certain people we were not brothers, and they instead were trying to guess whether or not he and I were TWINS. Way weird. And there was this dude Reno who is like the OC version of Stan I swear: (A) he purportedly ALWAYS wears a suit (B) he can be easily compelled to sing the soviet anthem while drunk. Hmm I think I'll put the soviet anthem on right now.
And then of course there was Laura:
Girl: This is Nigel*
Laura: Yes I've met him before [departs, other girl wanders off shortly]
Me: .....was that... the girl I spent the whole time talking to at that one party a year or two ago?
Robin: Yes.
Annnd then I was emo. I had spent the whole time talking to her at this one party and then she somehow convinced me to dance using her devious female ways, and my complete inability to dance immediately overcame the previous hours of conversation and caused her to abandon me and flee. I totally hadn't recognized her though.
Then there was Wild Rivers on Saturday morning. The general overview goes along the lines of: swim for two hours (inservice), idle about, swim for another hour (deepguard "tryout"), work, swim for another half hour (swim break), work...
I did the deep tryout rescues (even though I'm already deep, and have already done deep "area training," which also involved extensive swimming, we have to tryout every year) with David Jeffry, the newest supervisor. We wasted soo much time and had altogether too much fun swimming around in the wavepool. At that time there were about a dozen people in the stronger wavepool ("hurricane harbour" I think? None of US ever call it that, its just the "farther wavepool," and no, six flags stole the name from us), ALL of whom were employees. It was way funny.
Sometimes we have someone rotating around giving people "swim breaks" whereupon they go swim in the aforementioned wavepool for 15 to 30 minutes. Usually its a set amount of laps or something but this time it was entirely undefined.. I was told "just float around for 15 minutes or something" so I frolicked for awhile.. unfortunately I had just eatin though. And on that note Wild Rivers now has the bessst hot dogs omg.
Also I determined that I definitely do have more seniority than about two thirds of the supervisors.
Eric from The List (citizene) is down for the weekend, so after coming home for about fifteen minutes from work I headed out to cause trouble with him. We went to Diedrichs and chilled with the crew there, then we all proceeded up to Top of the World, where the usual kind of festivities transpired, only with Eric in attendence.
Then we went back to Diedrichs to get the free pizza hut, which we were successful at. Various people showed up to return to their cars, among them Jessie, and Anna who talked about how this guy whose nickname is apparently "HIV" tried to hit on Anna and how the totally approved of Mike the Horrible Human. Which brings up a subject which I think makes him twice as bad as if he were just a complete asshole. He is totally nice to any female he thinks he might be able to bone. Like.. and good enough at it that he seems sincere to them.
We spent about an hour talking and trying to think of something better to do, eventually going to taco loco at like 1:30. The End.
