unluckiest day ever!
Today will go down in history as the unluckiest day of my life.
The day started off at 7:30 AM. I was really tired and didn't want to go to practice, but I had to since I was driving Yeng Lan. I had this weird dream where I made her pump gas for me for half an hour and we were late to practice, so I decided to get gas before picking her up. At the gas station I pre-paid for 10$ of gas. Then I pumped gas, but only got a couple dollars worth of it out before I realized my car was too far away from the pump. So I moved my car closer, and got out to restart. The gas only came out for another gallon or so and then sputtered. I thought the gas station ran out of gas so I ran into the store and the cashier just stared at me blankly.
"uhh I paid for 10$ of gas dude."
"Yeah you got your 10$...." followed by a dirty stare
"Ok....." At this point I knew he wouldnt back down so I went into my car and went to pick up Yeng Lan.
When she got in the car she laughed at my sweatpants cause they had ice cream stains from the night before. Then she took out my best music mix CD ever and put in RENT and started singing along to it I tried to get to practice as soon as possible after that.
After practice my car wouldn't start. Some girl offered Yeng Lan a ride home, so I was pretty much left there except for DHAHN and Garrett. Garretts mom drove me to the gas station to get jumper cables, and we tried jumping my car. Then I turned it on, and realized the gear was in neutral! So I put that car in park and it turned on. I felt really bad cause a) I got ditched and b) Garretts mom had to miss church cause of my retardedness and c) Garrett of all people, laughed at my idiotness.
Then I went to KSB to get a bagel, and Giant to get sore throat medicine. I got home by 11, shaved my legs/pits and slept till 2:30. It was a great nap, and I felt good. After a quick lunch I headed off to Oakmarr. When I got there our team was already warming up. Our high school coach had warned me about being late, so I was super scared to go see him. He just gave me this lecture about how I'm probably going to be fired from my job when I'm older for being late, so I was happy he didnt make me do pushups or some crap like that. After warmups, Pat Hanlon stepped on my already infected toe, sending me into a painful painful state of pain.
I did crappy in the 200 IM, but I didnt really care cause making States in it would be really hard. The 500 free then came up. I was decked out in my bodysuit so I felt really cool. I ended up taking 5 seconds off..., and needed to get in the top 8 places to advance on to states. So I watched the last heat, and alas, I got beat by a second in a 5 minute race, ending my chance of swimming in States. Our relay was espicially screwed cause Alex was DQed for the whole meet, so we didn't come close to making states in that. But I was happy though that the South Lakes girls did really well!!!!
After the meet I couldn't find my oakton swim team shirt from last year. I was espicically mad about losing it because it has the "in loving memory of david and jacob" on the back. So after about 30 minutes of searching for it I resigned myself to coming back tomorrow to look in the lost and found. Hopefully it'll turn up...
After the meet I went to IHOP with BPB and Yeng Lan. Yeng Lan had to tell her coach she wasn't feeling well and thats why she couldn't go home with the team, so it was funny when the Westfields team showed up at IHOP when we were there. When I got there I reached into my glove compartment for my stash of money. It was gone. Somehow I lost/misplaced 100$. Feeling crappy for losing so much money, I asked BPB if I could borrow any money, and it turns out he didnt have any. So Yeng Lan ended up paying for both of us.
I got the never ending pancakes and the waitress put something that looked like a syrup pourer on our table. So I poured it on my pancakes. "Hey guys.... this looks like water.... no... it looks like pee!!" I kept pouring it on cause I usually don't think much in life
"JASON.... ITS COFFEE!!!"
"oh...."
So I ended up having a huge stash of pancakes covered in coffee. I had one bite and it made me almost puke again, so I just pushed it away and listened to my compadres finish laughing at me. Yeng Lan talked about her love for Keith Diggs for an hour after that. Finally some random westfields girl drove her home and me and BPB were left. We walked to our cars in the freezing freezing cold. It was a real long walk since we parked by Wendy's. After almost dying of frostbite, I got in my car and drove home. Then I looked for the 100$ that I misplaced and couldn't find it.
Today was the unluckiest day of my life. I dont think tomorrow could be any worse. Oh yeah it can, I have practice in 6 hours. w00t!
