Geeky Yet Waterproof

This evening, Jeremy, our second cousin (or uncle, or first cousin twice removed, or something) took Christopher and me out to sushi and to meet some of his friends. It was fun getting to meet the locals. They’re crazy in some ways, but I’m afraid we fit right in.

Afterwards Jeremy, Christopher, and I went back to the house for a few minutes, but it wasn’t long before Jeremy’s friend kidnapped us to ride around town in his pickup delivering Christmas cookies to people!
However, we weren’t just delivering the cookies… we followed a strict routine that went something like this: call the victim lucky person on the “celfone” (if they didn’t wake up on the first try, we’d keep calling until they did); tell them to get out of bed and step into their driveway because we’d be at their house in three minutes with cookies; show up at their house, give them the cookies, and kidnap them!
One person claimed she couldn’t be kidnapped because she had a class at 7:30am the next day, so we just kidnapped her house instead. We set up the living room as headquarters and discussed crime strategies for future kidnappings. She didn’t seem to mind though, because she was payed handsomely in cookies.

Ah, but I did I mention that all this started at about 11pm? And we, being Filipinos, are challenged when it comes to leaving a party. Let’s just say that after we released most of the hostages, we stood around talking for an hour and a half about guitars, crocodiles, and dynamite (plus everything in between). So I think I need not mention that I’m writing this 3am — and I’m not the only one still awake.
