Sugoi Gaijin

Yeah, I knew I was taking a big risk, but who cares! I’m going to take his advice and not go to school; do a mandatory sleep-in day! Which I did and it was glorious! So what did I do instead??? I went to the beach instead! Yep, we all went to the beach in OCTOBER! Good Times, Good times. I live near a very nice beach you know. It’s surrounded by an archipelago and looks quite nice!

So me, and my 5 good friends all took a road trip down to Ohama beach. I was brilliant enough not to bring my bathing suit. So was Dave, so we both ran around in our boxer shorts…they kinda look like swimming trunks in a way! The girls rolled up their jeans, which didn’t help because the rolled up parts got wet, which meant that their entire jeans got wet. It may have just been easier not to roll them up at all. We did nothing but wade around and take pictures behind different settings. We even found a hidden shrine behind the cliffs and there’s no way you could find it without climbing the rocks, nice!

After a whlie, we got tired of running around on the beach so the girls decided to chill out and eat. The guys decided to go for a walk. We taunted the girls with comments like, “guys go out to hunt, girls stay and cook!” They didn’t like that in fact, when we were a ways away, they started to pack up and tried to take off! They were going to leave us behind! Damn girls! They never listen! (Side joke: What do you tell a woman with two black eyes. Nothing, you already told her twice!) Anyways, we sprinted back to head them off, but they had already made it back to the car. We blocked the driveway out. There was no way they were going to run us down. Pride isn’t worth that. They backed up and disappeared in the parking area. We thought we won. Then we saw the back exit! God Dammit! They got away. Not only that, they took our stuff, including OUR PANTS!

We went back to the beach and saw they left us one shoe (my shoe) and one phone (my phone). We could quickly see where this was going. The girls were in control and they wanted us to apologize or something using the cell phone. Like hell we were! (see joke above) Also, the phone didn’t have a signal, so that plan was out of the question. So we devised a plan to let the girls know that we didn’t give a f*ck about them leaving. We saw their car leering in the distance, so we started to toss the shoe around. Hey, what else were we going to do? We had to make the girls come back on their own volition. They weren’t budging and despite the shoe toss game being really exciting (we made up rules as we went along) our goal was to get the girls. That’s when I had a killer idea.

“Lets build a sand castle…” Andrea had been talking nonstop about building a sand castle since we left for the beach. We never got around to it. We all kinda grinned at each other; we had our trump card. We put down the shoe and began making the sand castle. It didn’t take long for the girls to figure out what we were doing and out of the corner of our eye, we saw the car drive back up to the beach, park, and the girls return to the beach. They even brought the food back with them (can’t girls ever stop eating???) We pretended like we didn’t notice them and then we’re like, “hey, where’ve you been?”

“we were over there, you didn’t see us?”

“nope…we’re just building this here sand castle”

The girls joined in to help us build it. Then we all destroyed it together. We didn’t want to say it until we got our pants back, but, the guys won. It’s how it should always be :).
