Ideas for the evening

a) Good ol' San Fran. Nothing would be open, but we can still be vaguely touristy. I hate being touristy.

b) Vent our spleen at passers-by. That's spleen as in anger and resentment, not spleen as in that organ that no one knows what it does. (Fine. So people do know what it does, they just don't care. Well, I know what it does and don't care, so I can easily generalize from me to everyone. You're all figs anyway. (Figs being short for figments of my imagination. Too many syllables. Since languages are all figs anyway, I can do with them what I please.) So there. Nyah. Nyah, in this case, meaning clam chowder.) Although throwing organs at passers-by could also be interesting. We'd have to buy an organ first. Either of you know how to play one?

c) Sleep. Mmmmmmm. Sleep.

d) Attempt to tickle Cheri.

e) Failing that, attempt to make Cheri giggle helplessly by telling her dirty jokes.

f) Failing that, attempt to make Cheri giggle helplessly by sitting in the corner and staring at her for the entire evening.

g) There are some very nice obscure park-like areas in the area.

h) Stay up late, stare at the ceiling, and angst about how we are but cogs in a whirring machine, and when we die, new cogs will come along that perfectly fit our slots. Drugs will help for this. Although they aren't strictly necessary.

i) I just realized, I'm sticking to this abcd format far too regularly. Hold on.

h) That's better.

f) Take the SATs.

q) Study for the SATs.

o) Bleed. Or, for the vampires among us, be bled for.

g) Write bad poetry.

m) Write good poetry.

z) Write and publish bad poetry.

a) See how many times we can use the letter f in a sentence.

l) I suppose we could do something pedestrian, like go see a movie.

l) I remember hearing something about Spike and Mikes a while ago. We could check that out.

w) Cruise bars.

o) Cruise coffee shops.

r) Listen to a disco version of the Doctor Who theme.

k) Elope.

a) Sit on the sidewalk and loudly criticize the attire of passers-by.

n) Wander down the street and hand passers-by one dollar bills.

d) At one point we were planning to sit around and mess with my CD collection, like tape stuff off it. We could do that.

n) Find out if there is such a thing as "too much chocolate".

o) Drink water. Claim it's gin. Act drunk.

p) See how badly we can scandalize out parents. (Depending on what their predjudices are. Come home drunk/wasted/stinking of cheap perfume. Introduce new boy/girlfriend. Claim pregnancy. Claim conversion to Jehovah's Witnesses (and hand them each a copy of the Watchtower). You get the picture.)

l) Land a role in a soon-to-be famous motion picture.

a) Land a role in a motion picture that will die stillborn.

y) Waterslides.

m) Go see ComedySportz.

a) Spend the night in jail.

k) Speculate on possible future uses for boron.

e) Record a Simpson's episode. Watch it until we can all recite the words along with the characters.

s) Pontificate.

a) Eat the sofa.

l) GET MY STUFF BACK FROM AJ. HINT HINT.

l) Visit the Hiphugger and/or Contemporary Adult Books.

o) Be bled for, or, in the case of the vampires among us, bleed.

n) Compliment each other. Get swelled heads.

i) Insult each other. Explode swelled heads.

e) Make sure we're all on the same wavelength. Use a spectrometer to do so.

x) Try to pick up fire hydrants. (That's pick up as in seduce, not pick up as in lift, though I suppose we could try that as well.)

p) Watch old episodes of The Prisoner.

e) Play video games.

c) Create video games.

t) Destroy video games.

o) Sing "puttin' on the ritz".

r) Perform the Heimlich maneuver.

a) Do things that would force us to emply the Heimlich manuever. (Force food down people's throats, startle people while eating, secrete small bones in all food being served at local restaurant, etc.)

t) Defenestrate stuff. (I know, I just need to use that word as often as possible. Minimum once per email.)

e) Journey to Crete.

w) Journey to Sicily.

i) Join the Sicilian mafia.

l) Join the Japanese mafia.

d) Double-cross each other.

l) Avoid any real work.

y) Create hidden messages.

I'm sure there are more.
