well this weekend was as good as I'd hoped it would be, if not better! for starters, my dear good friend Justin came back from Hawaii... WITH SHORT HAIR! like honestly, there is no way you could possibly understand how happy i am that he got a haircut. it just made my whole year, pretty much. haha so anyways, yesterday (Friday) we left Kanab at about 2:45 ish. "we" being all the music students who made it to state Solo & Ensemble. the first couple of hours were pretty chill... mostly, it was me, Kelsie, Adam, Matt, Justin, and Jake that just talked the whole time. but then we got to cedar and picked up the track kids, and Garett came and joined us at the very back of the bus. another couple hours later, we stopped in beaver and picked up baseball and softball kids... that is when things got a little crazy. here are some examples of what i mean by that:
there are more pictures (like of Adam playing the Quiet Game with me), but they're on Kelsie's camera. i might put them up later, but we'll see how that goes. oh and just to fill you in, The Quiet Game was invented on a drama trip that i was not on. but it involves putting a pillow on someones face until they literally can't breathe, and saying "Shhh shhh shhh it's going to be okay, everything's alright. Shh calm down little boy... shh..." in all reality, it's the creepiest game i've ever heard of, but it was all the rage on this trip. I think everyone sitting at the back of the bus got smothered at some point, and i was lucky enough to only get it once. Justin, on the other hand, got it like 9 times within a few hours. Haha anyways, that was just yesterday. wait wait... lie. the one of Adam and Justin was taken today, but the point is that the trip was pretty crazy yesterday! but wait, it gets worse.
today was the actual competition. the group i was in was a mixed double quartet (sopranos: Kelsie and Courtney. altos: me and Megan. tenors: Justin and Matt. basses: Garett and TJ.) singing a Romanian song called "Sarba Pe Scaun" i think by... some Romanian guy. it really is a great song, but i don't think we really did our best ever today. we still don't know our scores, for some stupid reason. I'm getting pretty irate about it all! i wonder if/when we'll ever find out... hmm!
okay so we performed in the morning, so we got done pretty fast. the last Kanab person was Taylor Armstrong aka Starfom (i love him! haha really though what a cute kid, if i wasn't already married to his best friend, i think i would date that little freshman boy! haha teasin!) doing a marimba solo at 1:45, so we peaced outta there sometime around 2-ish. we then went to a mall where i ate too much at Panda Express, bought a shirt from Hollister, a blue polo and a belt from Aeropostale, then got back on the bus ASAP because i felt like an actual alien was going to burst forth from my tummy at any given moment. oh! and me and Megan were (of course... haha lol) checkin out this random cute guy that we saw at Hollister. turns out he had a girlfriend that was hangin on him, but he had a cute friend that actually talked to her first. see, Megan has had some accidents out on the track while doing hurdles, so her knees are in pretty bad shape. so the cute friend went up to her and was like "ouch! were you in like a bullet bike accident or what?" haha some pick-up line...
the trip back was... wow. out of control does not even describe it. i was: bruised, tickled, wet-willied, raspberried, stretched out, stepped on, elbowed in the face, and so much more. this was over the course of about 5-6 hours on a school bus. i think the worst parts were the wet willy (i was sleeping, it was the only time I'd slept on the whole entire trip except for at the hotel, and i woke up with TJ's slimy fingers in my ears and him saying "wake up wake up wake up!" and it was for no reason at all, except that he's TJ and he just does that kind of thing.) and the raspberry (once again, TJ's fault. he grabbed my arms and someone else grabbed my ankles and he said "okay she's open! get her!" so i was tickled by like 3 or 4 different people, then he says "Raspberry time!" So Adam pulled up my shirt and laid one on me. That's when i started kicking a LOT!).
as much as i would love to go into even more detail, i am completely wiped out. as you can tell, it was a really exhausting trip, and I'm afraid i just don't have the energy to keep going. it was quite a trip though.
and i loved every moment of it.
2 people find me hilarious:
So that was a great trip! Well for the most part. I'm gonna try to put some pictures on my blog of our "adventures".
