A ridiculous amount of stuff

...that's what happened since the last time I posted on here...
Last Friday, I went out dancing with TKJ, Australia, Rainbow, and a friend from the coop. Ice Cream and Ithaca were going to come but they took a toke from Kusa when he smoked and Ithaca got super high and probably wouldn't be able to ride her bike so she stayed and Ice Cream told us they would meet us there later (pshh yea right).
We got the show (it was a hip hop/dubstep/dancehall show) and just danced until the place closed. TKJ got wasted and couldn't bike home so Rainbow and Australia walked him home, apparently that was a funny story. I got home to find Ice Cream and Ithaca sleeping on the bed, I slipped in and went to bed after a quick conversation about the night.
I woke up with Ice Cream already gone, she left us a note and we go up and got ready, eating a bit and searching the house for Ithaca's bike lock key. When all was in order we headed to the coop and hit up a store for food that couldn't be sold. By the time we finished Ice Cream had arrived at the coop and we were ready to go to her house pick up some last minute stuffs and then roll out. Some of the coopers were doing a fundraiser party so we helped them carry some things up the stairs, before we finished a bunch of kids arrived with Katimavik, ready to do food not bombs. No one else was around for food not bombs so we called TKJ and stayed with them until TKJ, Australia and Rainbow arrived. After that we fixed up a bikes a tiny bit and grabbed some water at Ice Creams and rode out.
We headed south until we hit the bridge and we crossed that, the weather was great and riding across the bridge gave us a nice view of the city (and some trains). We got to the island where la Ronde is and we climbed a bit of scaffolding until security told us to get down. Afterward we threw our bike over a few fences and rode for an hour or two then decided to set up camp when we hit the end of the road/a big fence.
We rode back a bit to find a nice spot and then locked up bikes. I started a small fire in my hobo stove and Ice Cream and Ithaca set up the tent when it started to get dark since we were camping on private property. The hobo stove was pretty shitty in terms of getting really hot with the wood I was putting in it since it didn't really turn to coal just ash, but we managed to cook some potatoes and eggplant that we dumpstered earlier. Ithaca and Ice Cream also brought some food so we ate dinner and just as we finished it began to drizzle. We got into the tent and rolled out the sleeping bags. It was a really tight fit, three people in a two person tent but we managed. I read aloud a bit, we played some talking games and hit the hay super early (probably around 8 or 9)...
Woke up and biked back to Ice Cream's after a small fruit breakfast. Once there we cooked up everything we didn't eat and had a nice brunch. I was tired from all the biking at that point so I rolled back to the coop a bit and started to head home afterward, but I decided to pass in from of TKJ's place for fun. Of course I ended up stopping in when I saw a bunch of bikes locked out front. Turns out Australia, TKJ, Rainbow were there along with a guy from the coop. They had dumpstered pasta and made tomato sauce and jam but it wouldn't be ready for a while. I was tired as shit but I hadn't had pasta in a really long time so I stuck around. We went to tam tams and I napped there on my sleeping bag and then we went back and ate the pasta and all that. I hung at TKJ's place until about 9 napping on and off. I left after that because I had to attend Pagoda's birthday.
I went home, checked the address and rode out on my bike. She was celebrating at Casa del Popolo which is a chill cafe/bar/venue where cool girls throw their birthday parties. Spent time talking to random people and just hanging out and eating delicious cake (you see Pagoda works at a bakery so she gets a free awesome birthday cake on her birthday, FO FREE!). People started leaving and I got to hang out with Pagoda one on one a bit which was nice. Later she recognized a guy she saw on the bus once back home and we went and talked to him and his crew, turns out they were a punk band that had just played at the venue next door. I talked to one of the guys about ABC No Rio and New York in general because he had played a show there a while ago. Was an interesting evening, nothing too crazy, but I was tired from the long weekend anyways. At the end of the night I kissed Pagoda good night, said peace to the punk band and got to take the rest of the cake home.
Monday morning; cake for breakfast, best breakfast ever. Went to my last class this semester and then headed off to the People's Potato. Ithaca was there along with Rainbow and Australia. We ate and headed to TKJ's place. Me and Rainbow stopped at the sporting goods place to receipt scam the bike lock she bought from there last week. It went down pretty smoothly. At TKJ place we sewed stuff up and ate dumpstered food. I don't remember the rest of the day, cept hanging out in a playground a bit. At night though we hung at the coop and on the way there we dumpstered and I finally glued up the new lock on the compactor (it's still there by the way, they haven't done anything about it...).
Not too sure what happened during the week nothing spectacular or particularly memorable, just hanging with Ithaca at the coop (apparently people have been complaining that we we're loud when we have sex, that we leave the door open and that we have sex in the shower too much, none of which is true, but I'll explain that later). Kunoichi got hurt a while ago but she's doing alright, I've been dropping food off on and off for the last few days which results in cool food being made by either me or Kunoichi and her roomies. Sleeping at her place and the coop.
On Friday I went swimming with Ice Cream and Ithaca. Ice Cream practiced her lifeguarding stuff on us and we played around in the pool. After hanging in our sex's saunas we met up upstairs and headed to the coop. The bike ride back to the coop resulted in us arriving soaked in rain. The only solution of course was to strip down and shower up, which we did. Ice Cream Left the shower before Ithaca and I did and didn't lock the door, the door mind you can only be locked from the inside and can't really close unless it's locked. A cooper stuck her head in and saw me and Ithaca showering (and doing just that and not much else) and complained about it later (hence my above comment about sex complaints, none of which are true). We were gonna stay in and sleep but instead a girl from the coop convinced us to go dancing. The first club we went to had a really Euro feel but we didn't like the music so we went to another place and danced until it closed then went back to the coop. We were pretty tired and ready to head to bed when a few (three) coopers came back from what I can only assume was a crazy night (involving a metal show and a strip club and some drugs). At first we weren't sure what they did but they told us a bit. They had come in with a friend, apparently he had brought some crack and was going to take it upstairs, when another cooper found out he headed up. We were all chilling on the couches downstairs and didn't really think twice about it, except discussing that crack was a shitty drug and it would fuck you up and all that. A bit later the guy comes back downstairs with a 40 in one hand and a hammer in another, he said "the guy upstairs" scared him. He was super paranoid and kept asking us where the front door was even after we told him. He got more and more antsy and started to open bedroom doors to find a way out and freaked out a sleeping cooper. The cooper who went upstairs when he found out about the crack came down and took charge, he told us all to get to one side of the room and for the crack guy to leave, he eventually did but not before we had a few scares with the hammer. Crack sucks...
Next day hung out with Ithaca a lot and we went to a show at Katacombs in the night. Ice Cream was supposed to meet us but never showed. The show had the Chaotic Insurrection Ensemble (an anarchist marching band), Micro Armee (a French hip hop group with b-boys, rappers, singers and beatboxers) and a samba collective whose name I forgot. We didn't stay 'til the end because we got tired, we went home cooked up some stir fry and then hit the sack. The next day we dumpstered a ton on breakfast and lunch and made lots of foods. After breakfast we watched two movies about sex and sex culture. Stayed home a bit then headed over to Kunoichi's for ice cream and pie, ended up sleeping over, Guts was there and he slept over as well.
Next day, lots of cooking and hanging out. Australia called and they were all at TKJ's house, I went over to hang since she's leaving on a bike trip, and we went to play tag and grounders at a playground across the street, good times but I realized I'm not as stealthy and fast as I used to be...
Exam tomorrow off to pretend that I'm studying.
