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.
