So, before I begin my first dialogue, here's a little background:
This summer, I've signed up for a membership at a mixed martial arts gym known as Cincy MMA and Fitness. I try to head over there four times a week for particular classes, especially kick-boxing/cross-training on mondays and wednesdays, and boxing on thursday and saturdays. Getting to the kick-boxing classes are an adventure in themselves, though, considering they start at 5:30am. A typical monday morning for me goes a little like this...
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
Me 1 (M1): Bahh, 4:30 already. Just 10 more hours of sleep please.
Me 2 (M2): Get up, you need to be on the road at 5.
Me 3 (M3): I reaaaallly need to go to the bathroom.
M1: Uh yeah no.
M2: You said you werent gonna do this. Move it.
M1: Annnnddd still no. I'll take the sleep this morning.
M2: If you want mad fighting skillz, you're gonna have to move your ass.
M1: Dude, you're so annoying. Go make me a sandwich or something.
M2: I'm about to make your face.
M1: What does that even mean? Just shut up, I dont feel like going.
M3: Whiz whiz whiz....we should do that right now.
M2: You know that alarm across your room is going to go off in 3 minutes anyway.
M1: Not if I throw this lamp at it.
M2: Yeah, well I guess a hole in the wall is worth the effort to keep sleeping.
M1: It's either that or the guitar, and the guitar will be too loud.
M2: I'm glad you're so well reasoned.
M1: They say a real genius is well rested.
M2: And is morbidly obese.
M1: It's a risk I'm willing to take.
M3: Uhh need to go right now. Gotta go gotta go gotta go...
M1: God, he's just as annoying.
M2: Well, see, now you have two reasons to get up.
M1: They can wait.
M2: Your small bladder says otherwise.
M3: NEED TO PEE RIGHT NOW.
M1: Can't you two bother someone else?
M2: Unfortunately there seems to be that whole attached nervous system thing that prevents us.
M1: Unfortunate doesn't quite fit. How about SUCKS A WHOLE LOT.
M2: I would punch you out of bed right now, but I DONT KNOW HOW.
M3: WHY ARENT WE PEEING?
M2: Look, now you've gotten him more riled up. Just get up.
M1: I hate you both.
M2: That kind of language usually leads to Xanax.
M1: Annoying AND expensive. How'd I get so lucky?
M3: Bathroom ho!
Which is about the time I finally roll out of bed and go to the bathroom. And then convince myself that, you know, who wouldn't want to go kick the hell out of a few sand bags at 5:30 in the morning? That stuff's better than coffee.
I'm not really sure what category the others days will fall into, but hopefully these RDTSFCM Thursdays will hold up for a while.
Fun Life Update: Im taking a class taught and sponsored by GE this week for 8 hours a day (12pm-8pm). During the class, I take apart an actual CF34-8E (look it up) jet engine and put in back together. Full size. And then I come home covered in jet fuel and oil and grease, and it's completely awesome.
What interesting things have you done this summer?
(Dialogue continued)
M2: Have fun explaining how you gave yourself a black eye with a lamp at 4:35am.
M3: I'm thirsty.
