Spring Break 2008

Monday we left for spring break. This was a very interesting 6 hours in the car because we piled up 6 boys in an suv that is only designed to hold 5 people. One of us had to sit in the back of the SUV which already had all of the camera equipment and some of the luggage already back there. If I had to describe the amount of space that was back there I would have to say that there was enough room for a torso to lie back there and you had to find room for your legs to go.
6 hours after leaving the Orlando house we had arrived in Panama city. Of course everyone was anxious to get out of the car and see the hot boys around, and see what gay boys were around. We quickly compiled a plan of what we were going to do and immediately headed out to Panama City Beach where all of the spring break activities were going on. Upon arriving at the beach there was just so much going on and we had no idea what we were going to do, so we had decided to check out Sharkys First. We were under the impression that sharkys was going to supply the food and drink for the entire time we were there, however we would quickly find out otherwise.
Outside Sharkys there was this lady selling tickets for the beach bash that was to go on the following day. We were skeptical about the tickets at first but because it included free admission into some of the other events we had gone ahead and paid for the tickets. The tickets were to cover the Playboy party that was happening at saltys that same night, the Beach bash that was happening the following day at sharkys, the Bar olympics after the beach bash at sharkys, and on wednesday it covered the mardi gras party at Hammer Head Freds.
We quickly found out that the playboy party had been canceled and that the bar olympics had been canceled as well. We were very upset about this and immediately everyone had rad to find the lady who sold us the tickets and tried to demand a refund. The lady had still been there at the time that we were looking for our money back, and had very politely said to return in the morning when her boss will be there and she will gladly refund our money. That wasn't a good enough answer for everyone else in the group, as they wanted their money back now. Everyone else quickly got irate with this lady and she told them to come back in the morning. We all walked off to the beach and still that wasn't enough. Zac then sent me to try and talk to the lady and get the tickets refunded. I was wearing the hidden microphone and when the guy had approached me he had seen the microphone and immediately told me he wasn't going to talk to me and they had gotten in an suv and drove away.
This time everyone started to get enraged. Joe, Jonathan, and Chris were on this fix that they were going to do whatever it took to get our money back. They then called up the phone number that the Sharkys manager had given us and got the phone number to the manager of the lady who sold us the tickets. Upon an unsuccessful attempt to get ahold of the manager they decided it would be a good idea to call this lady's phone non-stop and try to threaten her.
However upon arriving the next morning to go to the beach bash this lady had been there and she had been very irate at the fact that they had been lighting up her phone all night and that it had been very disrespectful. Of course you all know how Joe and Jonathan get all defensive over everything, so they all started to get into a fight over the tickets. The lady had then run off and got her manager who had explained that we still wound up getting a deal on the tickets after all due to the fact that the beach bash tickets alone were $30 a piece and we only spent $25 a piece on the ones that we had, We had only gotten the other tickets as freebies. The beach bash tickets are what we were originally buying.
After all that was said and done and everyone had realized that they were not going to get their money back we had decided to put it behind us and try and go and have a good time. We went into the beach bash and we had decided to split up and meet up at 4. The beach bash was probably my favorite time overall for spring break. It was all the beer you can drink and they also had free subs and pizza, which I didn't wind up eating. I had so much beer that day and i had met so many interesting people. I was talking to Ace from the real world and didn't even know it until someone was like "Its Ace from the real world" at that point I was so drunk I told ace that I'm from the Gay real world. He told me that he loves gay people and that his brother is gay.
When you get to the beach bash they originally give you a small plastic cup that you needed to hold on to in order to drink the beer. I had seen all of these people walking around with these big red beer mugs and I wanted to know where to get one of those from. The one person told me they were $5 at the door. I ventured my way to the door to buy one of these mugs to find out that they were all sold out. I found this guy that worked for sharkys that had been standing at one of the bars and I asked him where I could get a mug from. He had said that they were all sold out but had found me one that was sitting at the end of the bar and he had given it to me for free. So naturally I took my cup and started filling that up. If I had to measure how many plastic cups that mug would hold when i filled up a plastic cup it didn't even use a quarter of the red one. So as you can see that plastic mug held like a thousand times what the plastic cup held. At 4pm I had to meet up with the guys and we headed back to the hotel.
In the car on the way back to the hotel I had made a comment about wanting to go to the foam party and joe had gotten all defensive with me telling me that I was being disrespectful when all i had said was that I wanted to go to the foam party. I was very upset about this especially that I had just expressed my opinion and we had all gotten in an argument in the car.
After chats we had just stayed in and did our own thing for the most part. Chris and I had went to the main building of the hotel and we had grabbed some bikes and was riding the bikes around the compound. Shortly after we started to do that Joe quickly was on a bike as well. we had been riding around and Joe and myself had rode and found the docks. There were some pretty big yahts out there. I am a boat fanatic, I love boats and the water so for me that was heaven. So we rode around the docks for a little bit looking at the boats.
Wednesday morning we had gone to the beach to conduct our interviews. I think this was a waste of a day because we could have split up and did our own thing. I didn't get to really do to much but follow zac and joe around the beach. which made it feel for the most part like a waste of a day for me. I did get to see some interesting things while I was at the beach such as a parachute that had a big fan on the back of it. I had never seen anything like it before.
The following morning we had gotten out of bed and left to come home. That was rough cause I got crammed in the back for most of the ride. That was not a very comfortable ride at all. We had spent another 6 hours in the car driving all the way home. Still having to deal with everyone's bitchyness.
Upon arriving in orlando joe had to finish his chat at the orlando house and then after his chat we had left to come home. So after 6 hours of already being in the car we had been in the car again for another hour and a half. But upon arriving home I had to get ready to head to Jacksonville for My military weekend.
Upon arriving home I had started to get my stuff ready to head to Jacksonville the following morning, I had to throw my clothes in the washer. Well I had been in such a rush that I didn't realize that my cell phone had been one of the things in the pocket of my pants that I had thrown into the washer. I had been searching everywhere for it. I had checked the dryer for it and there it was. It had been completely damaged and no longer worked. So I was a little upset because I needed my phone to go to Jacksonville with the following morning.
I took my phone and put it in the oven at the lowest temperature that it goes and I left it in there for a couple hours to dry out. It had completely dried out and I had wiped away any corrosion with a toothbrush. The phone at this point still did not turn on. The following morning I had taken it to the verizon wireless store and I told them that it just wouldn't turn on. There was no evidence of water damage so they had replaced it under the warranty for me and had given me a brand new phone. I was so happy. So after leaving the verizon wireless store I had to come home get my stuff and head to Jacksonville.
When I got home I grabbed my stuff and headed off on the 3 hour trip to Jacksonville. Even though I had been delayed a little bit with my trip to the Verizon Wireless store I had still been early arriving in Jacksonville. I still had and hour and a half to spare. This is when i found out that they had thrown me on One month of active duty. I had been very upset about that due to the fact that they had not even asked me about it first.
But other than that the weekend was ok. the sleeping arrangements were horrible but I had a bit of aircraft work to do. Well not really alot but some. I had to test an AFCS computer and Circuit because it was making the aircraft do some wild manuvers. Its a very lengthy test and only got halfway through it. And I changed a light bulb.
Saturday morning I had to do a Physical fitness test which consisted of situps, push-ups, and a 2 mile run. That really tired me out for the day and I didn't feel all that bad yesterday at all after all that even though I should have done some stretching after I had finished my run. However after the run I had been told that If I wanted to I had the option to move my one month of active duty to 2 weeks and I could push it back if I wanted to. This is a rarity with the military, but I jumped all over it and I got my one month pushed to 2 weeks and I don't start it until the end of the month.
The drive home from Jacksonville was actually a quite relaxing one. I actually for once enjoyed the 3 hour drive. I arrived in tampa at about 6:30 and i had met up with John for dinner at TGI Fridays. It was really nice seeing John again as I haven't seen him in the longest time. I have been talking to Tony the past few days also. I'm anxious to meet Tony.
I keep giving Tony these tests when I talk to him to see if all he wants is sex. Everytime he tells me that he wants to get to know me. Everytime I hear this he wins over some points. So far he is doing very good and he sounds really sweet on the phone and I really can't wait to meet him. I'm just hoping that he isn't like every other guy that I've met and ignores me after we hook up. So last night I talked to him for a little bit on the phone and then I had to go into chat. So after chat Pretty much I went to bed. Next weeks Diary hopefully i'll have details on what happened when I meet Tony, Because we are supposed to Meet this week. I can't wait. Talk to you guys next week.
