More on Ryan's Spring Break

NWell we sure did pound Destin for Spring Break. We learned many of
life's lessons in one short week. Some learned the value of sunscreen.
Others discovered that it is important to pack a bathing suit,
sunglasses, and a towel before going to the beach. I learned that I
never want to go on a vacation with Ryan again.

It's hard to relax from school when you have Captain Complaints whining
over your shoulder. It's a good thing I am a business major and my
classes are easy and I don't do anything in school ever. If I did
though, I would have probably suffered a nervous breakdown due to Ryan's actions.

Let's see. He's already told you about the sorority debacle. I had to
hear this story approximately 72 times. Let me shed some light on this.
It was pretty obvious that we were a little bit out of place at this
party... i think about half of us were wearing collared shirts with
khakis, so we could blend in... to an extent. None of us wore croakies
or boat shoes, etc. This wardrobe blunder automatically negated any
chance of even conversing with females (this phenomenon is true; but
discussing it in detail would require an additional letter. and no
offense to frat guys either.) Now, I think Lawson and I were aware of
this clothing requirement faux pas, but young innocent Ryan had no idea.

In fact, he wasn't even wearing a solid polo shirt. He was wearing a
button down hawaiian print shirt. Strike One. I thought men weren't
allowed to even buy those unless you're over 30 and have two kids, a
gut, and slightly balding. I'm surprised they even let him in the
house! Now that i think about it, the girl who let us in the door said
"Hey y'all come on in" but it could have been "Who are you, you didnt
meet the dress code -- Are you even real?? Is this a joke?" Her head may have also exploded due to the uncomprehension that people are allowed to dress differently than the norm. But I don't really know what happened.

I dont ever pay attention to the first few lines in conversation
anyways. My money is on the second scenario.
Back to the issue at hand. Naive Ryan is still on a quest to be
sociable. He breaks away from the group without me noticing (my back was facing him.) According to his article, he said, "Is this where all the
cool people sit?"

Strike Two, and I wish that two strikes meant a strikeout because that
is the worst line i think you could ever say in this situation. Who says
that?! What happened to "Hi, how are you?" or "Hey, what's up?" or "I'm
addicted to you don't you know that you are toxic?"

So of course, the girl just gets up and walks away, which is hilarious.
He probably did something else that he isn't telling us, such as
flashing a hang ten sign and winking while he threw his dumb line out.
Well, i must say that it was quite rude of her just to walk away, but
since it was at the expense of Ryan's already ailing pride, we can all
have a good laugh.

Oh yeah. Strike Three, because one time in an unrelated incident he was singing in a really high pitched voice and he didn't know i was standing behind him. He sang for a solid minute or so before he turned around. I could keep going on about what happened in spring break, but thats
enough for now. I hope now everyone understands why Ryan got aced at the sorority party. I may have hit myself in the face three times playing volleyball, but i was the only one who spiked the ball on a defenseless 13 year old girl. We were getting beat, I had to do something!!!

Love,
