Michael Knapstad: October 28, 2009

This is the paraphrased story that Michael gave me in the voice of Michael:

I was on the second floor of the library at Fuller at the back where the cubicles are when I had to go pee. I got up and went down the center aisle between two bookshelves toward the bathroom at the other end of the floor. I realized that going down a parallel aisle was a Korean man who was obviously going to the bathroom too. Knowing my stage fright problems, I picked up the pace, but so did he I could see him between bookshelves, then he would disappear behind the books, then reappear between the bookshelves again. After about 30 feet the bookshelves ended and we ended up side-by-side. There was no going back.

I awkwardly entered the bathroom first and he followed. There were only two urinals with little or no wall between them. We both unzipped at the same time. Knowing my stage fright issues and that I wouldn't be able to pee anytime soon, I was going to pretend to pee knowing full well he knew I was pretending, then leave and come back. At the same time, I was coaching myself to just pee. Nothing. But he wasn't peeing either. So we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited.

Over a minute went by before finally I got a little squirt. Then he got a little squirt. Quickly he booked it out of the bathroom without washing his hands or anything.

Cameron Keirnes: November 14-15

The following is a text transcript between Cameron and someone who he thought was a female friend of his whose number he doesn't have (and who he is not interested in, but who is still a friend). The other person thought Cameron was a girl. So two guys think they are texting girls, but are really texting each other. Note that all the misspelling, etc. are from the actual text messages. Here is the transcript:

Jordan Kamikawa: November 15, 2007

This is my old roommate's unedited transcript of what happened to him that night:

so tonight i experienced something that will forever hold a spot in my mind as one of the most awkward, but funniest stories in Jordan Kamikawa history.

The story takes place around dinner time, and myself and four other guys (david, neal, colin, and steve) decided to go out to q'doba's for whitworth wednesdays. We ended up taking two cars, david's and steve's. Right off the bat neal and colin jumped in with dave, so i decided I'd ride with Steve. However, I had to go in the house real quick and by the time I came out, Steve started pulling out of the driveway because he didn't know i wanted to ride with him. So i kinda waved and tried to make him stop, but he didn't see me and before I knew it, he was long gone. Luckily david hadn't left yet and I was able to jump in his car. So we were on our way, and i was thinking "man, I feel bad steve's riding by himself right now", so we came up with this plan that we'd follow steve, and at the next stop, I'd quickly jump out of our car, run over to his and jump in. Sounds like a great plan right? I thought so. After a little while we caught up to steve, and so far our plan seemed like it was falling perfectly into place; he was coming to a stop to make a left turn, and there were cars coming in the opposite directions so he couldn't go. Thus, it looked like a perfect opportunity for me to make the switch. After hearing colin yell "GO! DO IT NOW!", i proceeded to jump out of the car and run over to steve's. Right as i was about to get in, he looked like he was going to make the turn, so i yelled "STEVE! WAIT!" as i hurriedly opened the door. I jumped in quickly, closed the door behind me and was putting on my seat belt. However, steve was still stopped and i was wondering what was going on, so I glanced over only to find...IT WASN'T STEVE. it was a high school aged boy, sitting there with wide open eyes and a look of sheer terror on his face. I HAD JUST JUMPED INTO THE WRONG CAR. he gasped at me and the only thing that came out of his mouth was "...What???" in a frightened and whimpering tone. Needless to say, after figuring out I had jumped into a complete stranger's car, I quickly opened the door and said "Sorry! I thought you were someone else.." and ran back to dave's car. When i reentered everyone in the car was hysterically laughing because they realized it wasn't steve's car right after I left. The only way they could tell was that there was a different sticker on the back windshield in exactly the same spot that steve has a sticker. what are the chances...So we spent the whole ride to q'doba's laughing like crazy and wondering what the boy will tell his parents and friends when he goes home that night...the fateful night that I jumped into the wrong car.

So the moral of the story is: make sure you lock your car doors, because one day I might accidentally jump in.
