I had been to the Renaissance Festival that day. After some people have left, some of us decide to paint each other in the garage. It's sort of a contest. I enjoy being on a team of two girls who I admire. Kelly is one. I see them in underwear. Kristie wear no bra, I see her boobs, and I think it's my first time seeing boobs. We take communal showers, with clothes on. They play games and watch WALL-E. I feel unwell. I try to poop, but I can't. I decide to go home. It's about 5 am. Max expresses concern. I say bye. I am very tired. I almost fall asleep and drive off the road a couple times. It hurts to stay alert. I get home and vomit in a toilet, relieved.
