The Everything Pizza, Jim the Biker, and The Legend of Zelda Final Battle

Blog No. 7: This Week in Summary

Wednesday, 12/2, after Piano, Taylor decided to do something. I didn't know what it was, but I was being kidnapped anyway.

Taylor, Abril, and I ended up going to the nearby Little Caesar's where Taylor's sister was working. I should have predicted it because Taylor had mentioned over Messenger that he had calculated the most expensive pizza one could get there and that he wanted to get one. He beckoned her over to take our order, but he ended up going through the employee door with a set of his own keys.

I know he works at the Little Caesar's franchise, but it got me thinking what other keys he might have... It got me thinking about other places he might have keys to.

What Taylor Might Have Keys To List:

1. The wardrobe door to Narnia.
2. A Volkswagon Scirocco
3. A secret stash of Morgan Freeman memorabilia.
4. The moon.
5. The Coldplay song, "Doors."
6. The Batmobile.
7. The Castle Church in Wittenburg. (The 95 Theses)
8. Kingdom Hearts.

Anyways, twelve minutes later, Taylor's sister comes out with this square pizza completely covered with toppings. Deep dish, extra sauce, extra cheese, extra pepperoni, ham, pineapple, beef, jalapeño, bell pepper, olive, onion, and mushroom pizza, or, for those who don't like long names, the Everything Pizza. He had taken so many pictures with his phone of this pizza and the process you almost have to wonder if he is a little bit too obsessive with pizza... But of course, it's pizza's job to be awesome.

A while later, we walked to this secluded area [details withheld] where we decided to eat the pizza...

... Where Taylor proceeded to take more pictures of this divine creation. XD

Both Taylor and Abril had two pieces and I was struggling with the one. It was so good though. Every taste of the Everything Pizza had a different taste to it. It's like how he says, "If you taste something you don't like, there's plenty of other toppings to make up for it!"

On Thursday, 12/3, I noticed that I have had been with Taka for the greater portion of that day.

I had called her up in the morning after sleeping in to pick me up, then we went to McDonald's for breakfast, hung out in the cafeteria, had Choir, and headed back to the cafeteria where we stayed for a few hours. Even though she went to her English class and I skipped my Stats class, she left behind her laptop where I used it to experiment with Tumblr. Then, after her class, we get a call from a random Choir person, saying that she had Taka's phone. Taka dragged me along with her to retrieve it, partly because the person called my phone, partly because she was afraid that it was the alto in Choir that made the alto section look bad. I wouldn't blame her. When we rode down that street to her place, we could feel an odd tension as a few dozen people looked at us. That was one ghetto street... Then Taka and I picked up Yowty at her place, to return back to ARC to drop me off and pick King up.

When I got back on campus, I didn't know what to do. I ended up going to the music rooms where I practiced for my final in Piano. I also tried texting Mama Compton to see where she was. Apparently she was running late, so she couldn't see me before class. What I ended up doing was walking to Davies Hall, hide from the asian lady asking for donations while ordering a coffee at the kiosk, and sat down to wait outside Mama Compton's classroom to wait for her hug. While I was waiting, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to go to Italian all of next week, seeing as Tuesday there was the Choir concert at 7:30 and then the trip to Santa Cruz for the Winter Orientation for Friday. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to do an Italian presentation on something Italian on Thursday. I told Mama Compton this and she was all, "I had the same thing happen when I was in sign language class. I ended up going to that class in my choir dress and leaving early!" Which might be my case if I have to do the presentation on Tuesday instead of Thursday... Not in a dress, but a tuxedo. XD

After Italian, I walked over to the new gym in the freezing cold to wait for Dustin to get out of class. I asked him to take me home because my mom wasn't able to make it out there. Dustin was kind enough to say yes. C:

In the car, he had put on an Owl City CD, which I told him I just got. He told me a couple of the songs I should listen to, or rather which ones were his favorites. Owl City seems to be a nice and mellow song to drive home to after a long day of school. He had also offered to take me to his place instead of going home, which I would've if only I didn't have to babysit or practice my duet the next day...

So, Dustin and I ventured to a Starbucks, where I tried a seasonal caramel flavored drink and Dustin ordered the large, extra caramel, caramel frappucino.

He likes his frosting. XD

We just pretty much hung out there for an hour. He and I rummaged through our wallets and looked at their contents. I showed him some baby pictures of Lennox and he showed me some of his family photos. He talked more about his addiction to chap stick and his fitness class. I talked about Santa Cruz and some family stuff. I also mentioned how I usually saw someone at the Starbucks, so he would ask every once in awhile if I found one yet. He pointed over to a biker outside and asked if I knew him, obviously not. Then we joked about what his name would be. Dustin called him Jim. I was trying to think up a hypothetical fake conversation I would have with the biker to make him believe he knew me. And yeah... Dustin and I just pretty much sat there talking and hanging out. It was nice. XD

Today, Friday 12/4, I woke up early to go to ARC with King to practice our duet. Jacob had come along too, I suppose to just hang out because that's all he did. We took over a practice room where we both worked on our parts separately for about an hour. Then we tried pulling both parts together, but I found that I couldn't really do much with my left hand. I definitely need to practice more of that. XD

Then, King, Jacob, and I went to a Sutter Medical building where King got his blood drawn. Jacob and I did a random Xmas word search puzzle that was on the counter. I found most of the words first and I was trying to be sneaky and not tell him where they were, but whenever I found a word Jacob would immediately find it a few seconds later. DX

We went to Burger King to get some food and we saw that Dr. Hughes was waiting in his truck in front of the restaurant. We tried to persuade him to come to the band concert on Monday, but he had to stick with his plans with the Master Singers. Dr. Hughes commented on how much he missed King, which took me to weird images in my brain for some reason. XD

After we picked up some Burger King, the three of us went to Gamestop, where Jacob bought Darkside Chronicles. While he was paying, I found a random Wii game called "A Boy And His Blob." The title caught me off guard, but when I looked at the book it seemed like a pretty interesting game. King and Jacob just laughed at the title. Afterward, we headed over to Jacobs, where we ate our food and played some Brawl. On one of the battles, where Jacob was Link, King was Gannonndorf, and I was Zelda, I had attacked the smash ball and shot an arrow right into Gannondorf's eye. The attack had a perfect angle of the hit for the dramatic affect that really looked like a good ending to a Legend of Zelda game, especially on the course Jacob made into the shape of a triforce. XD

At 3, King took me over to the apartment where I had to babysit my nephew with my mom, seeing as she still can't lift her arm as much right now. Mom was showing me a concert on PBS with this A Capella group called Straight No Chaser. The singers were actually pretty good. They were 12 guys just singing with their voices different variations of Xmas and popular songs. They did a song where they combined Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" with Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", which explains why I felt that Mraz's song sounded familiar. My favorite was their rendition of "12 Days of Xmas" which is pretty slapstick:

And that pretty much ends my day. The rest is basically catching up on facebook and blogger, editing my tumblr, and figuring out my financial situation for UCSC. This week has been pretty random, so who knows what tomorrow will bring? C:
