Overview

WARNING! VERY VERY VERY VERY LONG POST!

I've been busy.
VERY BUSY.
Doing stuff.
MORE IMPORTANT THAN TALKING ABOUT MY LIFE HERE.

...Sorry for that. I'm kinda tired. It's been a loooooong day.

We got back from the state math competition. I got 35, Alex got 67 (or so), Yining got 89, and Tyler got 132 (out of 140 people ^.^)
Also, during the awards ceremony, this guy mentioned a group called Purple Comet, and being a bit hyper along with Yining, so I'm like "OHMYGOD! DID HE JUST SAY PURPLE CONDOM?!?" yup, its a bit dumb, but I don't care.
But the best part was on the bus ride home where we were looking over the results/right answers, and we had this one question with a zig-zagged line crossing another line where we had to find the sum of two angles. I figured out most of it, but gave up just about at the end. We had an approximate answer, but couldn't get it exactly. Alex said "well, I'm gonna guess 60-something." to which I said, "uhh no. It looks like it has to be AT LEAST like 120" So he's like "fine. I'm guessing 128" AND WHEN WE GOT OUR RESULTS, IT WAS RIGHT!!!! hahaha you probably don't care.
So it was great and all that shit.

BUT YESTERDAY WAS FUN!
Can you say HALF-DAY?

First we (Me, Tori, Warren, Mel, Jessie, and Sam) went to the band room. And sat around. Then Warren's like "WE HAVE TO GO!" a few times, so we started a strange little chain walking outside and went on our merry little way.

Soon enough, Jessie found a "road closed" sign and she and Warren carried it down the hill, then either gave up, got bored, or the sign was just to heavy.
Then there were these stupid 9th graders sitting around on the bridge just so the hundred-or-so people that were going to cross it that day couldn't get through. After a few failed attempts, Tori decided to cross the ice on the river... and she fell in a bit ^.^
So then the people didn't care if we crossed. So we continued on to T.J.

We found Mel's brother Alex and their neighbor Marly, and then we found Tori's sister Tyne and her friends Megan and Abby (who ended up being Nikki Frank's little sister!).
Warren had to drop off the score to a band song (uhm Rhythm Machine, I think?) And when we came out, we had lost Tyne and her friends and looked for them for a while (and everytime we saw an Asian girl, Warren's like "there's Tyne!"). They came out later and we went back to getting where we were going.

So we walked down main street through snowbanks and over ice. Running through traffic, and slowly making our way through town. Just about when we got to the dollar store (the one by Blockbuster), Jessie suggested the ingenius idea of going to Pizza Hut for lunch.

So we got there and ate. Then a bit later we discussed what we were really there for, the SSVP plans. Everyone picked their parts, we added a few ideas to my notes page, and made up lists of the items we needed. We also decided that we were going to split up and go to both of the dollar stores, with me, Tori, Warren, Alex and Marly going to the one near the bowling alley, and Jessie, Mel, Tyne, Megan and Abby going to the one by Blockbuster. I also ended up with a two liter bottle of rootbeer in my backpack, but that doesn't really matter.

Then we walked to the store, wondering along the way if Mel and Jessie really went to the dollar store or if they went to the pet store like they were talking about before when we were saying goodbye to Sam. Either Tori or Warren asked why we had Mel's brother when Tori's sister was with the other group. I think it was because we wanted to keep the groups at 5 and 5.

So we took our shifts, because the store only let two students in at a time (what's with that?). I was on second and third shifts. We ended up getting a lot of what was on our list, but the downside was that it came up to about $40 (and Tori only had $20 with her) so I covered her.
When we were done with that, we started down the stairs to the bowling alley, while some 7th graders were humping the windows above us. When I pointed this out, someone said that they were calling the people outside waiting for me and Tori d-bags and other stuff. So all I could think of saying was "those bastards" because of my wonderful vocabulary

MINI-STORY TIME!!!
Remembering about vocabulary, Warren keeps telling me "people only swear because they aren't smart enough to use another word." So then on the way there (when we were still on main street) Warren said something that was similar to "no way in hell", and I pointed this out to him because I had not much else to do, and of course Melissa heard me and she finds it amazing when people swear, so she's like chanting "say it again! say it again!" Even with the persuasion, he didn't, so the topic was dropped like the many other random conversations everyone had.
mini-story time over... *awwwww!*

So we went bowling! I didn't truly realize how completely soaked my legs and feet were until I took my shoes off and made wet marks when I walked. And Tori brought her camera, so now we have pictures and videos of the whole SSVP crew. We also we got the lanes next to Brittney Hoh (oh joy!). The whole time we played with the goo we got (it was that fart noise making ones) and opened up the other props like the wig, boa, teeth, glasses, etc. and screwed around for a while. Then DIFFERENT 7th graders started harassing us, and started calling my name (cause they know my sister therefore they think they know me). We were all ignoring them as much as possible, but I got so sick of it that I flipped them off, so they talked to us MORE. Damn them all. I wish we could go to the high school next year with all our friends instead of having to deal with the fucking 7th graders. But then again, all of Warren, Jessie, AND Tori are taking IMP3 next year, so I might be in their class *hoping really much*

The final placing was Jessie, Warren, Me, Tori, then Mel in last. Then after bowling, we all had to leave (cause it was about 2:30 or so). Everyone had a ride, and since I was calling my mom to pick me up (and maybe Tori and Tyne), we agreed to walk with Warren back to North where he was going to get picked up. But almost like magic, Tori's mom shows up in the parking lot. She agreed to drive me home, and that's when I realized it was an accident to ride with them (not like I hate her or her family)
Her mom was really pissed, because she had apparently said that she was walking home instead of walking around with us, so she got in trouble and ended up grounded.

After I got home, I pretty much went back to my normal life of pretty boring and not much to do. I ended up at Leanne's soccer tournament, and I passed out on a table. We went to a Culver's somewhere between games, and they got all of our orders wrong. Being the way that she is, my mom told off the manager and my dad went to eat at the Chipotle next door. We finished eating, sat and talked at Chipotle, and went back to the game. Her team slaughtered, and I went to bed because I had my competition this morning.

THE END ^.^
