Daniel Sexsmith: Maker of Sex

Today: "break a world record day." I wanted to attempt a record that NO ONE had ever attempted because then I'd pretty much be guaranteed success. My record to set: be the first and only person to ever attempt to swim while wearing the maximum number of clothing articles! Now you might be thinking "people fall into the water while wearing clothes all of the time. blah blah I'm a picky assface" but NO! They fall in and try to get OUT, I'd be swimming! So, I had three shirts on, a sweatshirt (i was going to wear my jacket, but I realized water would DESTROY that jacket), shorts, two pairs of pants (one jean and one khaki. more than two pants and i got uncomfortable), three pairs of underwear, three pairs of socks and my shoes! I looked for some gloves to wear, but gloves aren't all that common in southern california :( I went swimming for a grand total of about ten minutes and by then i was fatigued! It's hard to swim with 20 lbs of wet clothes (probably more) weighing you down. I haven't heard any record set for such a stunt, so I WIN! ALL HAIL DANIEL, THE CLOTHES SWIMMER!

Tomorrow: "anonymous letter day." I'm supposed to send a random person a letter that contains five bucks and a picture of me. So what I'll do, is make the letter thing and then walk around my neighborhood and place it in a lucky someone's mailbox (a person that doesn't know me, of course). This should be interesting if they ask around and figure out who the guy in the picture is. WOO!

Wednesday: TWO days in one, "pancake day" and "try foods that scare you day." Easy enough, I went down to EVK at 8 in the morn before my class and I made myself a WAFFLE (instead of a pancake, we don't have the option to make a pancake). I must say it was nearly perfectly golden brown. I pured the batter onto the USC custom waffle iron... it makes your waffles say "USC" on them, narcissism at it's best. Anyway, it actually didn't take very long but I kept wanting to peek into the waffle iron to see how it was progressing, but if you do that, the waffle is RUINED! I'm going to invent a waffle iron that is see through on the top so you can see how your waffle is cooking. Holy crap that's a good idea! Maybe I should really consider inventing it. Anyway, a few minutes later I opened the iron and delicious smelling smoke wafted to my nostrils. And there it was, amonst the fog, THE GREAT WAFFLE OF EL DORADO. The lost waffle of gold. I covered it in butter (not TOO much butter) and a nice amount of maple syrup and endulged. As for the food that scare me, I tried some of the gross nasty looking super runny eggs-from-a-giant-metal-bin at EVK. You know the type I'm talking about. The one that looks like Big Bird shat into a container and fried it. They weren't that bad after I put a lot of salt on them.

Thursday: "Rock N' Roll day." I was supposed to live the "heavy metal lifestyle at its most decadent," which involved lots of coke doing and fire setting. since I dont have access to coke and I don't know anyone who deals coke (that is still alive) I had to compensate. SO instead, I carried a bag of sugar around with me and every once in a while I did "lines" which consisted of me dipping my finger into the bag and eating some yummy sugar. I must admit I think I was starting to get a sugar high by the end of the day. Instead of burning stuff, I made Sun touch his super hot desk lamp, effectively burning his finger. I also turned my system volume all the way up and hurt my ear drums, but I did something uncharacteristic of a rock star, I wore headphones out of consideration for Sun... OH WELL. I can't be pure badass all day long. Maybe 23/7 but not 24/7.

Friday: "Decide what Skills to pass on in your family." I had to think hard about this day. I don't really have any "trade skills" except for the ability to trip over any non flat surface. Yeah, that's not going to get anyone anywhere. So I thought and I thought and I decided on passing on my technique for opening condiment bottles, specifically that of mustard. Most people try to take the plastic part off and struggle with that for a bit. But the SECRET is, twist the cap and the plastic will pop right off! Yeah... nothing spectacular, but most people I know don't do that. It's better than passing on soccer "skills" that seem to run in my family. BAH!

Saturday: "Are you psychic day." This day should be called "do you possess psychokinetic powers" as the task is to try to move objects with your mind. Anyway, I tried various things. The TV, the computer, a coke can from all the way across the room and a fly. The only one that worked was the fly... I guess I can only move tiny objects with my mind. :(

Sunday: "Order an impossible pizza." I decided to change this day up a bit. Instead of call a pizza place and order an impossible pizza, I called up my old job (Togo's, a sandwich place) and ordered an impossible pizza. They hung up on me after I started talking about what kind of pizza I wanted. Here's how it went:
Guy: Togo's sandwich shop, how may I help you?
Me: Yeah, I'd like to order a pizza.
Guy: I'm sorry sir, we don't have pizzas here. We do have hot subs though.
Me: I want a large pepperoni, cheese, bana...
Guy: We don't sell pizza here, sir.
Me: na, cookie dough ice cream, mustard, pean<click>ut butter...
I didn't recognize the guys voice but I PRAY it was Mike... my ex boss. I hate that ass.

Monday: "today find out how symmetrical you are day." My symmetry rating = 128.35. Figure out what that means for yourself. Let me just say, according to the book, it's not good at all. :(

Tuesday: "prepare convenient circles everywhere you habitually go day." Oh man, this day was easy. Since I didn't really have plans today (well I did, but even if they did work out I probably wouldn't have left the house) SO I put a circle at the foot of my bed (out of socks) a circle at the bottom of the stairs (also out of socks). I then went to the kitchen and got some string, put that around my feet at that spot and then I put a circle around the computer chair! And I was pretty set for the day. I had string with me just in case I needed to make more circles. I only made one more and that was in the bathroom. The circles out of string I just brought along with me (my feet dragging them along). Easy.

Today, Wednesday: "break a world record day." hmmm I'll have to think about what record I want to break.

In other news: I've done NOTHING over break! uh... I made a pizza today. I took pictures but for some reason USC wont let me upload them right now so I'll try again tomorrow. It was DELICIOUS. Anyway, I like doing absolutely nothing and not worrying about school work. I was told that my break is almost half over by SOMEONE (Kira) and I think she just wants to rain on my parade. I wish break was a week longer!

I should sleep... it's almost 4:30 in the morning.
