A Weak Back? When Did You Hurt It?

Blog No. 193: A Week Back! *Buh-DUM-tss*

A while back, (pardon the puns), I proposed a deal with Dustin and Patric to help me paint my room. We talked about it through Facebook that, in exchange for their manual labor, I would treat them to lunch.

In the morning before they arrived, I was frantically trying to clean and clear my room out some more. I was trying to do stuff in between my spackling last night, only my sister had complained about the noise coming out of my room. Next time, I should try and not spackle with a butter knife... XP

I carried out my clothes, my shelves, and my desk stuff out of the room. It's sometimes hard to realize how much stuff you have until you pull it out of your room... Then I vacuumed the hell out of the carpet, which took about an hour and a half to do to prevent a sudden overload or a vacuum implosion.

Then the guys arrived and we started going at it! XP

We really had no experience painting before. I only painted canvases and paper, and the one time I painted, (during my volunteer work at the PTK job on Fort Natomas), I only painted one plank of wood until someone pulled me away to lift something heavy... Like a hand saw... XP

So we just started to work. We pulled the big things I couldn't lug out to the center and covered it with plastic. Patric opened up the can of paint and we started painting with our rollers. Dustin had played some "painting" music for the mood. If you heard his usual playlist, you'd know it be full of J-Rock/Mainstream music. A few songs were Spice Girls, a few were GREEEN, yada yada. I swear, the song "There She Goes", (the Sixpence None The Richer version, not The La's), kept popping up again and again...

There she goes... There she GOES again! XP

Anyways, after the majority of the wall was painted, the can of paint was almost empty. So, we decided to take our break and move on to lunch at In n' Out. The both of them had something called 'Animal Fries', which was what Terry had gotten on our last Kaylah Day. I had tried theirs too, and remarked the same thing about how it looked, only I cleaned it up. The animal fries had the cheese, onions, and secret sauce that did not combine to a very eye pleasing color. I described it as, "it looks too pink to be considered food," and spared them the "something that bleeded, amongst other things, in your pants" reference I had made with Kaylah and Terry. XD

As we headed to the car, some lady in her car asked us to help her with her business class. Basically, she had us try some samples of cologne, like those annoying Macy's attendants at the mall. We left after the third spray around...

Then we went to Home Depot for the paint.

We were joking around a bit. Somewhere in Dustin's thought process, he made the plan of chest bumping the wall with his blue painted chest to leave its imprint behind. In my mind I was thinking he wouldn't go through with it. Then he showed me his hairless chest. Apparently he shaved for the occasion...?

So I agreed, at first, to see if he'd actually do it. All he told me was, "pick out the blue you want, Rabbiman, and I'll do it!" So I picked a darkish blue I could see against the green wall. I asked the guy for the smallest can of that color, which he made and gave to me along with another gallon of green. I looked at Dustin and he didn't protest about it.

So there we were, back at the house, continuing to paint the room green. When we finished, Dustin took his shirt off and started taking pictures with his phone while Patric was getting the blue paint ready. First, Patric drew a weird face on Dustin's chest so that I could take a few pictures to send. Then Patric and I dipped our hands into the blue paint and started smothering the stubly man chest...

My wall, feeling up Dustin's boobies... XD

Now if I only I had female friends that would let me do this... XP

Then Patric, with his already blue hands, added his hand print and other things on the wall. While doing this, Dustin hugged Patric from behind, making a blue blob on the back of Patric's white shirt. XD

I, too, made my mark. XP

After cleaning our hands and Dustin's chest, we played some Brawl on my wii in the computer room. I found out a few things during that Brawl session, like Dustin has a lot of time on his hands, or that I can pwn Dustin's Olimar with my Olimar, or that Wario is able to EAT his own motorcycle... Odd. XP

All in all, it was a pretty good day!

Now I have to put all my stuff back into my room.............................. DX
