So, after staying up for almost 79 hours, I finally crashed on my mom’s couch at 1AM last night.

I dreamt that I was a taste-tester for Boba Loca.  There was a square shaped dish filled with different flavors off melted ice cream, and I had to identify the flavors.  Then, I was tasting different flavors of those tapioca balls.

After that was done, I was helping a group of people unfold a drumline floor in someone’s driveway down the street from my dad’s house.  The floor was pure white, so much so that it reflected the sunlight back up into the sky and evaporated the clouds, causing some irregular weather patterns that eventually caused an airplane to crash up the street.

Then I woke up.

Today I was the chauffer for Stefan’s mother and four of her friends.  They were having a girls night out…  and they wanted someone to be their driver so they could drink all they wanted.  So…

Our journey took us to Newport Beach, where we stopped at some place called Villa Nova so that they could get some drinks.  Then, it was off to Roy’s at Fashion Island.  While they were eating, drinking, talking and laughing inside for three and a half hours, I wandered around the mall.

I treated myself to a banana split, stared at this crazy fountain they’ve got there for like an hour…  and watched people with their families walk around, looking all happy.  It kinda made me wish I had someone to hold hands with while I was walking around.  Holding hands with yourself is terribly unsatisfying.

There’s a Build-A-Bear Workshop at the mall, too, which made me smile.

After the women were done eating, they all piled back into the car..  and we were off for home.  As one can imagine, five drunk women in a car is…  interesting.  It actually made me think…  I don’t ever want to be married to someone like them.  I’ve always been very turned off by girls who get all “Girl Power!”ish.  They were all talking bad about their husbands and their ungrateful children…

I want my wife to brag to her girlfriends about me…

Michael (3:50:42 AM): Aika, will you be my best man in my wedding?
Aika (3:51:40 AM): I’m not a man, but if you find me otherwise sufficient, then yes.
Aika (3:51:53 AM): when’s the wedding?
Michael (3:52:22 AM): Um… We were looking at either April or May of next year.
Michael (3:52:37 AM): It depends on when her parents get back from their Europe trip.
Aika (3:52:45 AM): really?
Michael (3:53:01 AM): Well, we’re not gonna do it while her parents are in Europe.
Michael (3:53:03 AM): That’s dumb.
Aika (3:53:16 AM): Michael are you seriously getting married next year?
Michael (3:53:31 AM): Wait…
Michael (3:53:38 AM): I thought you knew this already.
Michael (3:53:51 AM): :(
Aika (3:54:04 AM): wait wait wait
Aika (3:54:10 AM): are you being serious?
Michael (3:54:21 AM): I was calling everyone on Monday.
Aika (3:54:42 AM): Michael
Michael (3:55:04 AM): Look…
Michael (3:55:35 AM): Lacey and I clicked in a way that is completely inexplicable. Michael (3:56:02 AM): And we found, while talking, that we both really want to get married at a young age.
Michael (3:56:19 AM): And I prayed about it…
Michael (3:56:23 AM): And it just felt right.
Aika (3:57:22 AM): Michael
Michael (3:57:34 AM): I drove out to Arizona on Sunday night.
Michael (3:57:54 AM): And Monday morning, I asked her.
Michael (3:59:39 AM): WHY do you think I’ve been SOOOOO happy?
Michael (4:00:03 AM): Aika, this is it. This is what I’ve been waiting for… for my whole life.
Michael (4:02:01 AM): When I saw her, I just knew.
Michael (4:02:10 AM): I could feel it.
Michael (4:02:53 AM): Why are you not talking?
Michael (4:03:01 AM): AIKA
Michael (4:03:21 AM): :(
Michael (4:03:43 AM): AIKA… I’m sorry… I thought I told you already.
Michael (4:04:19 AM): The last few days have just been… like… the craziest days of my life.
Michael (4:04:49 AM): Are you mad at me?
Michael (4:05:19 AM): Fine…
Michael (4:05:20 AM): Goodnight.
Aika (4:05:28 AM): no wait.
Michael (4:05:34 AM): …?
Michael (4:07:03 AM): …
Michael (4:07:11 AM): Goodnight, Aika.
Aika (4:07:16 AM): hold on Michael
Aika (4:07:17 AM): please
Michael (4:07:21 AM): WHAT?
Aika (4:07:43 AM): just don’t get me wrong
Aika (4:07:52 AM): I just can’t believe you thought you told me something like that
Michael (4:08:18 AM): Don’t even trip, this whole conversation was quite possibly the biggest lie I’ve ever told.
Aika (4:08:35 AM): what??
Michael (4:08:49 AM): As in… no, I’m not really getting married.
Aika (4:08:55 AM): FUCK.
