Opening of my boating season.

Today was my boating day. It was not as nice as one would hope. I got up a little later than I wanted to. So I was speeding down the Albion road doing about twelve or thirteen over. That is when I was passed by a cop. He pulled me over. It was Chris. He saw me in the side mirror as he was walking up to me. He put his arms in the air. Then he came up and we chatted about random stuff a little bit. He said at the end that I was speeding. That was about it.

I picked up Russell and we went to Moscow to get the boat. He offered to call Chris (a different one than who pulled me over) to see if he wanted to come along. I didn't say no because I did not want to rock the boat, but I wasn't thrilled. We got my boat and I left a check for the boat guy.

I went back to Pullman and we picked up Chris. Any time Chris would talk to me I would do my famous one word answers. I don't think I looked him in the eye many times through out the whole day, and we were together for quite a while through out the day.

We then hit McDonald's on our way to the river. We launched the boat and went cruising around. While cruising in the boat Russell could sense something was wrong and asked me. I denied that anything way wrong. Later I did the thing I love to do to people in the front of the boat. I will make the bow dive slightly under a big wave getting the people up front really wet. There were periods of rain and windy weather. Mirenda was there with her family and Chuck. I took them out for a short boat ride as well.

Russell, Chris, and I went back out on the boat and I was trying to make big waves and I did a lot of circles. It was making Chris really sick. So I did them more and more. I could see him closing his eyes, and holding on tightly. He was hurting. Russell thought I was being a jerk at that point. He doesn't know the half of it. So finally I stopped and let Chris start to feel better. We sat and drifted for a while before finally calling it a day. We got the boat tied up and headed back to Pullman. We went to Russell's apartment and found out Layla needed some help moving. So Russell drove his car. Chris had jumped in the back seat of my truck. I drove off. I did not say anything to him. He said a few things. I didn't respond.

While at Layla's we mainly waited around and did some moving of furniture. I was in the parking lot and this Toyota truck pulled in with a ten-six-seven driver. He has dark hair, a cute face, and was well build. His muscles were large and well defined but not grossly big. You could see his pecks very distinctly outlined under his shirt. I spent a lot of time watching him.

After helping Layla, Russell, Chris, and I went to get the Pizza and movie. We called Ryan and invited him over. He suggested the movie Elephant. So we got that. It is one I wanted to see. It is a school shooting movie, something like the Columbine shooting. At Russells we ate the pizza for a while and talked before we finally started to watch the movie.

The movie got going and it was sort of low budget. At one point I made a joke about the two shooters being gay lovers. It turns out they did a shower scene where they kissed. I don't know if that is gay lovers or not, but it was a gay scene all the same.

In the middle of the movie we had paused it because Layla was talking about her brother and how he seems very gay. He is big into many gay icons and just sort of acts gay. There is a girl who is hot for him and he does not notice her at all. So I was telling her about the prank calls I use to make. She asked me to call her brother and try to find out if he was gay or not.

I called his house and his mom answered. She was very open and frank in her discussion with me. She asked who I was. I told her my name was Lamont. She asked if I knew what "Spikes" is. She asked if it was some place where people go to get drugged up. I said I did not know. Then she said that Zach went with three girls so she wanted to know if it was some orgy place. I was laughing my head off. Our conversation lasted more than seventeen minutes. She told me how Zach came back from vacation with a condom in his pocket. It was a red one. His mom told him that he needs to stay away from the red condoms. She eventually gave me his cell phone number so I could call him. Then she asked me to have him bring some milk home. After I hung up we all laughed so hard. It was funny as hell.

I called Zach on his cell phone. He asked my name. I told him Lamont Gerrard. He kept asking me if I was someone else. I kept telling him I wasn't. Then I started to tell him I wanted to talk to him about something. I told him I was some he could discuss things with. I started to say, there comes a time in everyone's life when... and he cut me off and said that he is not gay. I paused for a second and came back with asking him why he would say that. I asked if being gay is something on his mind a lot, because I did not say anything about being gay and he was quick to say something.

I then found out he was in a fender bender and the wrecker was there to get his car. I finished my conversation with him asking him to promise me he would get milk for his mom.

I called him back a little later to ask if he picked up the milk. He said he hadn't. I asked him why not. Then I heard him ask his mom if she wanted him to get milk. She said she had. I told him he broke my trust by not getting the milk when he promised. Everyone in the room started to laugh. He said he was going to take his friend home and then he was going to the store to get some milk. He said he was done talking with me. I said you're right, we have talked enough tonight. I told him I would call back.

After that we finished watching the movie Elephant. There was a shower scene were one killer got into the shower, then the other one showed up outside the shower door, took off his clothes. He got into the shower with the other killer and they kissed. Everyone joked about that.

After that was over Chris asked for a ride home. I drove him to Orton. He said a few things to me but I didn't really respond or I gave short one word answers. It was a pretty quiet ride. At Orton he thanked me for taking him out and said it was good to see me. I said "yep" and then left.
