Wastes of Space - 10/28/12

All of the Cups

Ninja and Me

GABBY - I woke up in a right state to the sound of a burly man talking to me from the foot of my bed.  I was on the top bunk and had apparently slept surrounded by all of the plastic cups we collected.  Last night we decided to keep all of our large, plastic cups in order to play beer pong at a later date in Addo.  Talk about planning ahead!  Anyway, he seemed to be shouting at me saying how impressed he was that I could drink so much beer.  I should have given him the finger, but I’m pretty sure he got the picture without the gesture and left me alone.  The four of us begrudgingly got out of bed and got into the car to make the hour-long trek home.  Ben and Kait stopped at Steers (fast food joint) to get an ice cream in the a.m., but the last thing on my mind was food.  I slept on Ben for the majority of the drive until we pulled into the unpaved driveway of the Orange Elephant Backpackers.  We walked in and John immediately called us out on our hangovers.  We relived our night by telling John and Cheryl our many drunken stories.  Cheryl then instructed all of us to get some sleep because we must have looked like death.  Ben and I slept for awhile.  We awoke to news from the US of Hurricane Sandy and the Frankenstorm.  We watched CNN in the living room and contacted our family and friends hoping that they would all be safe and remain dry.  Our incredibly lazy day ended with a delicious meal made by the Alldermans and passing out at an absurdly early hour.  Yea, we were absolutely useless and utter wastes of space today.  Sorry, moms.
