* another fossilized entry hastily written, but never posted. reading over it, i cant tell if i was trying to make a poem out of it or just jotting down the events so they wouldnt get forgotten...so cryptic. but a good day indeed.

may 30 2005
we had another water balloon fight today. same girls. la cabana girls...they live down the street. we had been up on the roof doing homework, saw them all laying out...decided to ruin their sunshine.

yes.
we had been up on the roof doing homework saw them all laying out
decided to ruin their sunshine.

i dont know.

when we attacked today.
it was....like, they were like "oh those silly boys..." but in a really annoyed way
but yet
they retaliated.

with cleverness! and surprise!
oh no
he was the distraction.
we were like raptors.

swish

came in from the sides
from the other two, you didnt even know where there.
they have this...veranda deck

that goes around two sides of their house.
they were on one side
we went around the block and hid on the other side.
so we are against the house, on this deck, theyre just around the corner on their side of the deck...
so i send ashton in.

that little boy, with giant water balloon in hand goes around the corner and doesnt even look at them all staring at him.
he just walks straight to the side of the deck and throws his balloon into the bushes.
then he comes back to me, and silently asks for another
so i give him two
he goes out there....drops them on the deck, watching them break with muted excitement.
ben and russell and i.....sneak through the bushes.

FOR THE KEEP!!!!!

just a hailstorm of water balloons.

so i steal the boy back...and run off along side the guys.
before we attacked, when ashton was dropping his balloons of deception, i could hear their confusion.
i mean, here they were...sitting on couches, sitting on towels in the sun....when a small child appears from no where....to drop balloons off their deck...
they tried talking to him, tried coaxing him over to them like he was some lost puppy.
but he just had one motive: get balloon. drop balloon off deck.

so we go back home...im convinced, based on how unamused they seemed, that they had no intentions of retaliation.
i was wrong.
ben comes in my room and says....their dog...its...on our deck.
that was peculiar because their dog isnt one to wander without a cabana girl close by.
so ben wanders cautiously onto our porch
i stay close to the door
he pets the dog, roughs up the hair a bit...
and then

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

from two sides

balloons

BALLOONS FILLED WITH WATER!!!!!!!!

i shut the door.
ben and cody are trapped out there banging on the door
getting pelted and destroyed.
i could do nothing but listen to their screams and moans through the door.
when the attack subsided, i slowly opened the door expecting the worst
but instead, ben was completely naked doing curls with codys body.

the end.
