Tired, but a good tired at least.
Wow... what a crazy weekend. Friday was normal... i had to go in to make up an english quiz i had apparently never made up, which is actually good. It should bring my grade back up now, cuz i knew it was too low. Friday night, i ended up not doing anything really, except mowing the lawn until it rained on me and staying up until almost 2 to finish Jen's scrapbook for her graduation party the next day.Then Saturday came along. Just wow. First, i had to get up at like 7:30 in order to go father's day shopping on my way to a colorado meeting in bloomfield. The meeting was so funny though. We had this one activity where we were separated into groups of nine and had to move from one set of cones to another about 30 or so feet away. The catch? We had to move as a group, and could only have 5 points of contact with the ground at any one time (with, for example, one person's two feet being two points). After trying a few different things, such as a hopping piggyback chain (yes, it was as strange as it sounds), we came up with a workable, but very odd looking solution. Four group members (the 3 guys and 1 girl) lay down on their stomachs, and 4 people lay on top of them. The bottom people then proceeded to army crawl their way across the area, with the people on top trying not to fall off or touch the ground. As we started, we could hear all the leaders and the other groups laughing at how ridiculous we looked, and unfortunately were photographed multiple times. The ninth person in the group hopped along with us, actually holding kelly's feet up off the ground by the hem of her pants because she was too tall for the person she was lying on. However, as stupid and strange as we looked, and as many times as we had to stop and wait for everyone else to catch up, we accomplished the goal before everyone else. Go us. I'm really looking forward to this trip- so far, it seems our group has just clicked in a way i haven't seen since my england trip. Everyone is getting along, and we're all really excited. I almost don't want the meetings to end each time, just because they're so much fun. But i had to leave the meeting quickly, because i had to go to jen's graduation party. i succeeded in making her cry with her scrapbook, which was my goal. (I love you jenny!!!) its still really weird to think that she won't be in school next year- i don't know what i'll do without her to help me deal with life in general. But at least she's going to Quinnipiac, so she'll be close. And before i get all sappy, i should move on. From her party, we went to the dave matthews concert, which was both fun and interesting.~*~*~Things I Have Learned From The Dave Matthews Band Concert~*~*~-Rum and Pepsi is a DISGUSTING drink.-Gatorade and wild berry vodka not only somehow ends up having a coconut overtone to it, but is also much better when you start drinking it than when you finish it (it somehow gets worse as you go along- i guess the taste is easy to get sick of)-A dirty screwdriver, as weird as both the name and recipe sound, actually tastes good-drunk girls will try to kiss you, yes, even if you are their sex and they are normally straight... hide, quickly, because they may also try to show you their shamrock tattoo.... which happens to be on their ass-keep a close eye on your friends if they are normally easy and are now drunk too... not only are they funny, but they might also need you to fend off a few more aggressive "suitors"-cigar smoke does occasionally smell better than cigarette smoke, but not for long-dave matthews is very good in concert-the violinist, Boyd Tinsley, is the coolest guy in the band-the drummer must have every freaking drum ever invented.... i have no idea how he even ever uses all of those-old dave music is definitely still better than new dave music-drunk people are entertaining as hellSo yeah, that was fun. Unfortunately, i had to get up early this morning to go to church (definitely not fun... i was sooo tired), but then we gave dad his fathers day presents and went to see a Rock Cats game with my grandfather (which they won). Over all, its been a good weekend. :-D Now i'm just really tired.
