its storytime children!!! :P

Well, I'm back! so here we go... i think I'll start off with one of those stories I've been talking about...lol

From the very beginning.....

Upon arrival at the Hyatt, i went up couple floors and came into one of those large banquet hall type things. once i got my name tag and dropped off my luggage, i went to the back of the room where all the people were standing in a circle.
when i got back to the circle, i saw that people were playing a game. everyone had their shoes off, and it was kinda like musical chairs, but there was a person in the middle, who had to say something about themselves (ex: i have mail for anyone who has a sister) and anyone that that applied to had to go stand behind a different pair of shoes. once we got done with that game, it was time for a different one.
it turns out that everyone was divided into groups, like Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi, Salt Lake (my group) and a couple others. so everyone sat with their groups for this game. of course everyone introduced themselves and where they were from and all that stuff. the objective of this game was to think of songs with a specified word in it, then you had to sing it, but if another group sang your song, you had to have a different one. for example, the first word was "love" so people sang stuff like the barney song and love shack.
the instructions we had been given was to introduce yourself to any newcomers and explain what you're doing when they get there. the second word was "baby". a couple minutes after this was assigned, my group was brainstorming songs, and i saw someone come and sit behind me out of the corner of my eye. i wasn't sure they would say anything, so i grabbed the bull by the horns and instead of waiting for someone else to say something, i turned around and said "hey! we're trying to think of songs with the word "baby" in it. :)" to none other than mark.
when we got done with the game, we had a little time to socialize, and by the end of that time, me, mark, and some other people were joking around and socializing. then it was lunchtime. we all went down and sat at a table like we had known each other for years, not minutes (yeah that sounds kinda cliche, but that's how it went down) as everyone else awkwardly scrambled to tables. by the time we got our plates, we had all decided that we were being trained to take over the world at the "leader" conference, and we were dividing up countries.lol so as an important person in the program gave a speech about "being the leaders of tomorrow, learning new skills and new opportunities" our whole table was cracking up and making side jokes about being mini dictators.
next we got our meals. its was spaghetti and with one of those giant meatballs and some sort of salad (all of the lunch/dinners were a main course with some sort of salad. most of the time it was lettuce, but once it was pasta salad). while we were eating, we all asked questions like "if you were a color, what would you be" and went around the table answering them. i was being lazy and trying to cut my meatball with my fork, except it wasn't working out too well. lol the meatball kept sliding around my plate/bowl thing and mark noticed and just laughed. then he was like "here you go! I'm a vegetarian. :D" and he put his meatball on my plate when at this point i had like half of mine gone so i could sorta cut it. and i was all like "gee thanks" in a joking sarcastic tone and he was like "yep no problem! and he started laughing again then went back to asking questions.

I'll stop that story there. so what else is there to talk about?

Anna knows who i like now, so yeah.

Clara likes someone (duh) and so I'm very lazily trying to get it out of her. i doubt I'll be able to though, so I'm not really trying that hard.

Bethany friend requested Pinocchio (every once in a while i call him Po because its shorter (and the first and last letter) of Pinocchio) on facebook

I'm grounded for two weeks, which messes up everything. :'(

school is almost over! there's basically one day left!

i kind used a lot of time/writing on that story, so I'm gonna stop now...
