I want to start off with an apology...no, not for failing to write for so long. All of you people who keep nagging me need to find a better way to entertain yourselves. Seriously, you are worse than my mom when she is on the subject of thank you notes. Who I really need to apologize to is anybody who saw me on the afternoon of Beer Bike. I have never been a big fan of the event, but something inspired me to make a complete fool out of myself this year. Maybe it was the previous week's debauchery in Amsterdam, maybe it was the fact that Blake and I seemed to be determined to have an unspoken, impromptu drinking contest (he won). If I spoke to you after 11:30 AM last Saturday, there is a very good chance that I have no recollection of it. I have three distinct memories: 1) Hanginging around with a group of people drinking beer, 2) Standing in line over and over again waiting for the port-o-potties, and 3) Telling a girl who I hadn't talked to in five years that she was "completely worthless". Her crime? Not letting me cut in the port-o-potty line.

From what I hear, she wasn't the only person who I offended. I guess towards the end of the day, Kevin and Lynn decided that they were tired and wanted to go back to my house to rest. Being the good friend that I am, I insisted that they sleepin my bed. Not much later, they must have been surprised to be awoken to me standing over them yelling, "What the hell are you doing? Get the fuck out of my room!! I'm tired". Fortunately, they know me well enough to laugh it off. Plus Lynn already owed me a debt of gratitude...I repeatedly pretended to be her boyfriend to stop some "sketchy" guy named Mo from hitting on her at Jen (Rigg) Kneale's pre-party. I don't know why he thought she might have been interested...maybe it had something to do with Reid repeatedly telling him that she thought he was cute.
One person who I really do need to apologize to is some guy named Temple. You see, Temple and I have never officially met. It seems he is a friend of Mary-Margaret's who was catching up with her at some point in the afternoon at the Alumni tent. Not knowing who he was, I must have drunkenly decided that I needed to protect my roommate's interests. As they were talking innocently, I walked up to her and said ((in my normal voice, loud enough for him to hear me), "This guy just wants to hook up with you." After being assured that he was just a longtime friend, I insisted that she was wrong. "No matter what he says, he is just biding his time, waiting for his opportunity. I know. I have been that guy trying to hook up with the girl way out of my league before." Needless to say, that is no way to treat some guy who I hadn't even met yet. Even if I was right. Next time I see him, I definitely need to say I'm sorry. You'll see me standing in line behind his parents, who must apologize for naming the poor guy Temple.
From what I hear, I wasn't the only Sheridan man behaving badly. I guess Jeff mooned a Campo...I know it is hard to imagine Jeff showing disrespect for authority or using nudity as his weapon of choice, but I have been assured that it happen. I also hear that the main drama of the day involved Blake and Dane teaming up to de-skirt Leigh in full view of all of Beer Bike. Whether you find that funny or not probably depends on your respect for the Texas Sexual Harrassment codes. What is most definitely funny is Leigh's quote to Blake after he tried to apologize profusely. "I am not even that mad at you Blake...I expect you to behave like a childish asshole. But Dane is supposed to be the nice one..."
A very fuzzy Amsterdam recap to follow in the next three months...
