Yeah, okay, orchestra bonfire was this past Friday... yesterday. Our fire pit was between that of a church group of like 40 people who would get gather around every now and then around their fire and pray and listen to this one guy give speeches about something. His the way he talked was really colorful. And on our other side was these group of gansta people who were like screwing off and swiming in the water which was prohibited and whatnot. For some reason, we had forgotten to bring a lighter or matches to light the fire with (stupid on our part), so Melissa went over to the gangstas to borrow a lighter. When she came back she was like "Ugh.. they're like drunk." This was at about 8:30. At about 9:45 I'm sitting on the rocks with Peter, Melissa, Tsukasa, and Kate, when we look over and there are like 20 people over from the church group rushing over to the gansta group. We look at the gansta group, and there's screaming and fighting. There's distinctly one girl screaming crying "stop! stop!" I thought someone was being raped at first. Literally. Then there are other people yelling at each other and almost every other word was "fuck." Then I hear someone yell "stop! the police are coming!" 30 seconds later, about 10 cop cars come rushing into the parkinglot and they swarm our of their cars and chase down everyone involved with the fight. At around this time, Melissa was getting worried about breaking curfew, especially now since the place was swarming with cops and they had blocked off all the exits and entrances. 30 seconds later my and Tsukasa are talking and a helicopter flies by over head. We don't think much of it until he shines its damn searchlight on us and we realize its a police helicopter and we were laughing and going crazy cause it was REALLY DAMN COOL!! lol. Ambrose tells us that while getting water to put the fire out, he climbed over the rocks and started filling a waterbottle with water, and the whole time the helicopter had its light directed at him probably because they thought he was someone trying to escape the scene. But when he got the water and headed back for the firepit, they left him. lol. When we packed up and was going toward's Tsukasa's car someone asked "hey, is that you're car their leaning on?" Because the police officers had gathered the peope at the fight, sat them down in parking lot right in front of Tsukasa's car and were questioning them or something and some of them were leaning on his car. Tsukasa was like "Shit! Damn, it is!" ahahaha. But when they saw us get close, the police told the people to get up, and they told us that they'd be done in about 5 minutes and we could leave. And as we got close to them, it smelled of vomit and alcohol. While sitting in the car waiting for them to let us go, we saw a guy in the back of a police car, a guy getting told to stand up by an officer and then being handcuffed, and another guy getting tested by for drunkeness by following the light from a flashlight with his eyes that the officer was moving around. Seriously, it was like we were live at the filming of something happening on the show "Cops." I hate that show cause I never found it interesting and the camera was always to jumpy because the camera man runs with it. But when I was watching this wh0le thing take place, I couldn't stop thinking about how cool it was. lol. As we were exiting, 3 cop cars rushed past us and pulled over a car in front of us. As we drove by, we looked at the driver and recognized him as one of the guys who had lent us the lighter earlier that evening. Heh. The bonfire was fun, too :p. We saw fireworks from SeaWorld while the cops were chasing the guys down and the helicopter was blinding us with its light.

Then today I woke up at 11 AM, played computer games until 4 PM, and wrote my entire Romeo and Juliet literay analysis in 2 hours. At night, I went and saw Anchorman with Chris and Wes. It not as good as everyone says it is. Okay, I'm done.
