u CT ri ton 01: she's same age as me
u CT ri ton 01: goes to UCR
u CT ri ton 01: graduated from her san marcos high school with a freakin 4.3 gpa
u CT ri ton 01: she said she aced an entire semester of all AP classes thats why she once hit 4.70 gpa
SDapple24: nice
u CT ri ton 01: but when she graduated it got knocked down to 4.3 because of the non-AP classes
u CT ri ton 01: she's chemical engineering
u CT ri ton 01: and she's part of Evolution, the dance group @ ucr
u CT ri ton 01: similar to us with 220 @ ucsd
u CT ri ton 01: now she's not as fine as Shelley
u CT ri ton 01: Fun Fact: Darlene lost to Shelley in the 1999 christmas party Miss Gentri competition
u CT ri ton 01: and I was the judge
u CT ri ton 01: hehe
u CT ri ton 01: now Darlene is back to get the title again
u CT ri ton 01: because Shelley is stepping down
u CT ri ton 01: 6. So who's the new Mr. Gentri?
u CT ri ton 01: Answer: they assigned Jeffrey Javinar
u CT ri ton 01: Fun Fact: Jeffrey's ninang is my aunt
u CT ri ton 01: BUT
u CT ri ton 01: jeffrey declined
u CT ri ton 01: so they gave it
SDapple24: to you?
u CT ri ton 01: to Sean Cacho
u CT ri ton 01: some son of some family
u CT ri ton 01: so i'm like "ok so where's this sean guy"
u CT ri ton 01: Funner Fact: Sean doesn't want it either
u CT ri ton 01: Not showing up to the party is a good indicator of not wanting it
SDapple24: LOL
SDapple24: sooo?
u CT ri ton 01: so now they're like: oh crap, someone find a kid!
u CT ri ton 01: meanwhile we'll stall by introducing Miss Gentri first
u CT ri ton 01: I'm the outgoing Mr Gentri so I escort Darlene to the front
u CT ri ton 01: to get her bouquet, give her acceptance speech
u CT ri ton 01: so now they say "now we have a new Mr. Gentri"
u CT ri ton 01: "the outgoing Mr Gentri as you all know is Aldrin"
u CT ri ton 01: "but, unfortunately, we do not have any volunteers for Mr Gentri 2002 2004"
u CT ri ton 01: Darlene's auntie in the crowd goes: "let Aldrin do it again!"
u CT ri ton 01: our president says: "well Aldrin, want to do it again?"
u CT ri ton 01: I say: "sure, why not"
u CT ri ton 01: president: "so is it final with everyone?" he looks around the room
u CT ri ton 01: no objections, nothing
SDapple24: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
u CT ri ton 01: so he says: "well aldrin, thank you for volunteering again!"
SDapple24: YOU BASTARD!
SDapple24: you're a lucky ass
u CT ri ton 01: 7. Hahah, nice Aldrin! But aren't they suspicious that you're not in it to help the club, but to get with Darlene?
SDapple24: with some fine ass girls
u CT ri ton 01: Answer: no problem with that, because they don't mind
SDapple24: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
u CT ri ton 01: back in the 1999 election
u CT ri ton 01: everyone
u CT ri ton 01: my relatives and people in the club
u CT ri ton 01: say "that Aldrin and Darlene would make a good Mr and Miss gentri couple
u CT ri ton 01: same age, etc
u CT ri ton 01: i hope she wins"
u CT ri ton 01: but i drew Shelley's name instead
u CT ri ton 01: so Darlene was sad and stuff that she didn't win
u CT ri ton 01: so now back to This year
SDapple24: awww
SDapple24: okay okay
u CT ri ton 01: i'm escorting my new Miss Gentri back to the seats

u CT ri ton 01: "damn Aldrin, you're pimping it aren't you"
u CT ri ton 01: "you're Mr Gentri @ a snap of your fingers eh?"
SDapple24: what a MR pimp-tri
u CT ri ton 01: i told her: "yeah, there's nothing to this Gentri stuff"
u CT ri ton 01: "i'm probably going to keep on volunteering if nobody else wants it"
