| my dream was ridiculously in depth and detailed. the premise, i needed to get from my hosue in LP to the place where my aliean ship (along with my teams) were parked so we could save the world. we had been invaded or were going to be invaded or something. I dont have time to go into details, but essentially we were gonna save the world. I think my team was my friends from LP, plus hilary for some reason. anyway i left early, but took the wrong off ramp off the 91, the 110 instead of the 1i was supposed to take. i didnt recognize the surroundings, but went up a dirt road ne way. i ended up at like, a lil mall and went inside, i have no clue why. i ran into my bro, he was going for laser facial treatment and his friend was tehre too for some reason. for some reason, i wanted to go home from there to get directions. but my car had been stolen. then we found out some asian lady had it right there adn was cleaing shit out and was saying it was hers and bullshit. Anywya, we showed her the registration and kicked her the fuck out,t hen headed to my house. by this time i was close to running late. for some reason scotts friend was driving, and we drove into kennedy's parking lot instead of around. but there was a shit ton of gates and shit, everything was different, so it took us fucking forever to get thru. then we get to my house, and my room was secretly hidden, weird. i think at my house i called hilary, but her phone was off, presumably because she was in the mountains at our ailen spacecraft. then i called derek and he answered, and i think he had directions. i get a lil foggy here, but we tried to check maps.google.com and it wouldnt let me in. then we found otu my cell some how got canceled. something was blocking me, presumably the invaders. anyway for some reason a bunhc of my friends met up to go. I had to pee though, also we picked up 2 girls who couldnt walk, cousins of 1 of my friends. for some reason 1 of them was driving my car, and i couldnt figure out why my car wasn't doing what i wanted even though i was int he back seat, it was weird. anyway i wnated her to pull over at carls jr so i could switch and pee. but for some reason the road was changed, and there was a parking structure in front of us. we went in, but it didnt dump out on the other side, so we had to turn around to get out. at this point we were already late to making it to our spacecraft and iw as super paniking. i ran out of the garage to tell the other cars to go around. this is about when i woke up.
it was way more in depth than that, but that's all i have time to write.

| So raj and i planned to hang out and followed the plan, with time delays as usual.
the plan: 10 ish, teach raj abotu gun safety, go to rside, drop off his roommates beds for him, pick up my bed, go shoot some guns, then go hang with joe/go to the mall
so around 1030 i finally got to la palma and picked up raj, stopped by the bank and albertacos/starbucks (all conveniently located near each other!). Anyway we got back to my house in LP where is taught rajiv about gun safety, how to shoot a gun, how to shoot a gun well, and how to play the game of trap. It took about an hour, we finally left about noon.
So after a long ass drive to riverside of chatting, we get to where he's been staying over summer. He mentioned we had to move a full size bed, but i didnt' relaly think to hard abotu it til we go tthere and i saw there was a box spring. We were in my minivan and odds were we could squish the mattress in, but not the box spring (damn you physics!). so we tried and of course, that didn't work. So we had to think of a new plan. Raj didn't want to call his friend and tell him he's on his own/ask for solutions, and we dont know anyone with a truck to go back later anyway. So eventually we came to the conclusion that we should strap the box spring to the roof of the minivan (which has a black rack thing). I was like, well we can go to big5 (he said there's a sports authority nearby) and get some rope (you and you're fooking rope - boondock saints), and then tie it to the top. but then i was like, lemme look around, maybe your roommates have some rope around we can use. They didnt' have any, but I DID find 1 of those orange, super long extension cords, lol. Now being a boyscout, i'm pretty resourceful and decided it would be possible to use the extension cord to hold the boxspring, but being an engineer it's obvious that using extension cord, intended as an electrical connection, is probably a bad idea to use as rope. But fukit, we did it anyway (of course being an engineer i knew that we had to restrict the 3 axes of possible travel and secured it in such a way that it wouldn't go front, back, side to side, or up and down. i took it for a test drive and it sorta flipped up a little as expected, but raj said it looked alright. so a quick call ot derek to get surface street directions (9 miles instead of like, 4 using the freeway) and we were off! I found out that i could stick my arm out the window and grab the box spring, and raj could to with a lil boost off his chair seat. it was freaking hilarious! we musta looked like the 2 bigest nubs in the fuckingworld, haha. tried to keep it under 30, but we hit 40 along the way, there was lots of wind and i generally had to slow down cuz it was a fucking bitch on the arm. raj thought it was okay to fucking let it go, and periodically did, and it felt like all hell was gonna break loose on my side! could feel it flapping and oscillating, and he was like, oh my hand hurt, but ur letting it go to right? and i was like, fucking no dude! so i let it go so he could feel it and he was like, OH SHIT!!! haha.
anyway after a fucking crazy ass drive, we finally got there and dropped the shit off, then went to raj's friend's apartment. id idnt konw he moved out of his house at the end of the year, or didnt relaly think abotu it, and was somewhere else for the summer. his roommate was nice and took my mattress for him to his new place. so we got there, and raj being a dumbass, didn't call ahead of time to say we were coming,e xpecting they would just wait for us all day because "the way he sees it, they owe me". i'm like, WTF, they're holding a mattress for you, ur the one that owes them. So anyway we're waiting around for them to show up like douche bags on a stoop, when i notice there is a lil balcony type area (1st floor tho) by the side of the apartment. Now me being the safety concious guy who locks his doors every night, i figure it's locked, but also being a college kid, i know peopel are stupid. so i stick my hand over the fence and, bam, slide the door right open. raj climbs over, lets me int eh door, texts his friends, and off we go with the mattress! if we had more time we woulda fucked witht hem, like turned their tv backwards, but we were trying to go shooting, so we left in a hurry.
but rajiv and his petite belly were hungry so before we went to shoot we went to eat tacos. i suggested taco bell, but he took us to this place called baker's cuz it was closer/he knew right where it was. it was pretty good, but it's cost to goodness ratio was amazing! ridiculoulsy cheap, 6 bucks for the 2 of us. Anyway, a lil while later we were finally on our way!
We got to www.shootprado.com and were both super nervous! there was some old white ppl at a table and acouple young guys that looked like the type rajiv imagined (cut off shirts/whife beaters, camo pants, etc) but no one shooting. anyway we found teh office, she explained what we do witht okens and shit, and then we grabbed all our gear and went to the furthest trap range. got everytihng ready, after some troubles with the thrower (u have to turn it off and on cuz it goes into standby mode) and shot! we each shot 3 games of 25 shots. thef irst game i let raj use my gun and i used my bro's, cuz mine doenst kick as hard. I did horribly, like 10 to 12! but we switched after that, and raj became more comfortable/wouldn't midn the kick after already shooting. i did well with my own gun, and hit 18! yay. the last round I tried to lock on and shoot faster,a nd hit abotu 16 or 17, still okay for sucha newb. raj did pretty well for his first time. First game shot sub 10, then both his next 1's were better,a nd both were above 10. all in all a fun time (a lil too hot). when we left some pros were starting for a tournament, it is much more fun to watch them, haha. anyway i hope next time we can get more ppl to go!
after that we went back to lp, to our separate homes to shower. then rja adn joe came over and helped me unload the mattress/reload the chairs. we went to get ramen, but no mall cuz it was too late. ramen was delicious! then abck to irvine for some hard earned sleep! i was so pooped, i knocked out at 11 30pm and woke up at 10 AM
