day 19

Friday morning I was supposed to be meeting up with conor and cassidy to go hike mt jumbo. however at about 1030 i discovered they werent going to call. so i moved to the couch and finished watching the bachelorette i had started the previous night. after this finished up about 1100 i no longer could be a bump on the couch. i put on my running shoes and headed the three miles into downtown. i finished my run by the wharf and found my friend andy... the dock manager. he actually was just finishing up as i had gotten there. We went to the hanger for a beverage then headed to his house. I had told him about how i may be getting to go out to tracy arm the next day and was wonderign if i could crash at he and his gf's house so i dont have to bike home at night and come back by seven thirty the next mornign tor the tour. he said that woudlnt be a problem. I also had arranged for mike the pharmacist to pick me up and take me out whale watching in the evening. Oh! there is also a rave that was going down at centennial hall that evening. So we hung out at andy's house and then i ordered more sushi from seongs. this time i was going to try the spicy tuna rolls per andy's request. Then we hopped on his scooter, grabbed the sushi and went to my house where i could eat and be picked up in an hour by mike to go out whale watching. The spicy tuna rolls were pretty good... i probably would order them again. then before i knew it mike was there ready to take me out to tee harbor to try and find some whales. Tee harbor is way out the road past auke rec. we got to mikes boat about 400 ready to venture out into the less choppy than last time seas. We were headed north up towards benjamin island because the humpback whales typically like to hang out up there. Sure enough after the hour boat ride out there we saw a few whale watching boats maneuvering. so we pulled up next to them and sure enough there was like seven humpback whales eating and diving and everything. there were also a bunch of sealions sunning themselves on the rocks. we also ran across a sealion in the water and he came right up to the boat. after hanging out with the whales until six ocloc we headed back to tee harbor. on the way we saw a complete rainbow both sides and totally connected. it was too close for me to get a complete picture of it but i definately did it in chunks and its complete!! after arriving back at tee harbor mike dropped mme off downtown at the hanger. I then was trying to find somewhere to store my large backpack i was carrying. i finally got ahold of conor who was hanging out with andy and brady. Andy said i could keep my bag at his house so i headed his way. then i ran into brady (yeah.... he wasnt too terribly happy) dropped my stuff off then they were going to a park to play kickball. I walked there but was starving and did not want to get all sweaty because i was going out to the rave that night. (yes... apparently they rave in juneau). So after walking the mile to the park talked to brady and decided to leave and go hang out with my friends. Went and grabbed dinner at the hanger from andy fritz. Then i bar hopped to the rendevous to talk to my friend josh (the one who was taking me to tracy arm the next day) to find out if i could crash at his house on the couch so i wouldn't have to ruin andy/brady's night and would be able to stay downtown. Josh said no problem and about 1000 i ran over to the rave. my friend megan was totally decked out for it i was impressed but i ended up not staying too long because it just wasnt my thing. after i left i just hopped from bar to bar looking for people i knew. I ran into steph and cliff (brady's roommates) and told them i was headed to the imperial. meanwhile there was this guy that had just gotten out of a movie eyeing me and said 'the party's headed to the imperial find me there' eventually i ran into him his name is carter he was out with his roommate and girlfriend. they had to leave not too long after i met him and exchanged phone numbers and he told me hed call me the next day. not too much longer after that my buddy will ran into me and this time (the fifth encounter) he actually remembered my name! but i continued to bar hop until about 230 when i was getting really tired. i went to the alaskan to find andy fritz (the bartender from hanger) because he ended up being josh's roommate as well. but andy went to the rendevous to have a shot and i was really tired and needing to go asleep so as andy ditched me i found will on teh street. i asked him if he had a couch i could crash on and if he could help me find andy halls house to get my stuff. will walked me to andys house adn gave me a recliner at his house. and taht was my friday
