Alright, I know it's been awhile, and I really do have some deep and thought provoking topics to talk about...but not tonight. Tonight's blog definitely has to be spent talking about the past eight hours because I've laughing nonstop. We'll keep the profound aphorisms and life lessons for another day. Pinky promise.
So, today started off like any other. Saturday morning = swim practice. But after, I was relieved that I had absolutely no plans for the rest of my day. I didn't have to rush to get ready to go out to lunch, or pick up something on my way home for a school project, or even make a to do list which for me, is out of the ordinary. Instead I had lunch with my parents at home and had a little time to myself until I met up with Ash, Ethan, and Ty (virtually) at Tommy's to attempt to plan our senior trip. And let me tell you, this is when my day went from relaxing to hysterical, ridiculous, and just plain weird.
First off, let me just say that this whole senior trip process is incredibly stressful. You search houses, one after another, trying to determine how close they are to the beach, how expensive they are, whether or not there may be dead bodies hidden in the walls, and then, if a house passes based upon that criteria, its very unlikely that it is still available for the week of June 16-23. Thank you Ty for only being available one week.... so needless to say, after at least two hours of searching and searching, we all became frustrated and a tad bit delirious. There were reenactments of A Thousand Splendid Suns scenes (complete with burqas), fake shootings via the iGun Pro App, and a reading of the book Father to Son....
We then calmed down a little bit when Jared came and decided to work on Mrs. Forse's fortune cookie puzzle before leaving for the indoor game. The boys played well, but once the game was over the night became all the more crazy and hilarious. Unfortunately Schweins's wallet got stolen, cough cough, I mean lost, which made him think that he had the right to run stop signs and speed on the highway. I believe the quote was, "Come get me cops, I lost my f****** wallet!" Classic.
Before the night was over, we stopped at Mickey D's for a snack. While there, Ethan flashed some lady three times and Tommy pretended like he was blind. Spilling his drink, tasting every fountain drink there in order to find Dr. Pepper, and making a scene: he went the whole nine yards. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my whole life, and I wish that I had the security tape to relive the scene. It's hard to explain it, but trust me, it was one of those "had to be there moments" that I'll remember for days to come.
Pretty much what I'm trying to say here is I absolutely love my friends. We aren't your typical group of high school seniors. We can do absolutely nothing and still have the best time. No alcohol, drugs, or partying necessary. I truly cannot wait to spend a week with them in Hilton Head and a full 24 hours with them in the car to and from South Carolina. It's going to be one of the best weeks of my life, hands down. So, if you guys are reading this, thank you. Thank you for being your crazy selves and for being such a big part of my life. I feel really lucky to have you and know that I love you all.
