Oh dear...okay, Brett is a night assistant in his building, which basically means he signs people in when they come in at night. Well on one particular night, he had to work from midnight to 3 am and I stayed up with him to keep him company. Behind us was a vending machine, and in this vending machine was a box of "Good 'n Plenty" which I had been eyeing all night. The cost: 60¢. We had: 50¢. So you see, I desperately needed a dime. We looked everywhere and finally found one under the pop machine, but it was stuck! But I wanted this dime! I needed this dime! So I flopped down on the floor and proceeded to try to pry the dime from the floor with a pen. Little did I know that I was being watched. When I finally admitted defeat, I gave a little kick (still lying on the ground) and stood up. As I was dusting myself off, I happened to look out the window and to my surprise, Brett's supervisors were standing out there...laughing hysterically...they had seen my whole spazmodic episode. I was quite embarrassed but managed to hide it as well as possible until they were out of sight.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure how this whole episode came about... Whisper and I were at Jason's one night and she told me that her sister was getting a boob job the next day! She was going with her and didn't really want to go by herself (and hey...how many opportunities do you get to be there for someone's boob job?!) so I went with her! We left at like 4:00 in the morning and it was absolutely crazy. We ended up staying the night at some guy's house that I didn't even know, because they had to keep Keisha overnight. The next day, she was still in the hospital and I had to be home at noon to babysit, so this guy made a special trip to take us home. Weird... Prom...I love Prom...so much that I've been to four of them! This year I went with Brett and I honestly think I had more fun than I've ever had at any other dance. First of all, I decided that the "fancy restaurant" tradition was highly over-rated, so we went to none other than McDonald's! It was great! It was me, Brett, Andie, Mike, and Steve (our "waiter"...hehehe...love you Steve). Anyway, then we went to the dance...it was sooooooo hot!!! Blah...but fun! Then we went to Jason's to change for Stay-at-Home. We were all sitting around talking and Jason looked at Brett, then at me and said "Your shirts don't match!!!" It was awful! The designs on our shirts were totally different and we didn't even notice!! HAHAHA! Um...yeah...so we went to Stay-at-Home, Brett won $10 (yay) and we reminded the couples that left early to "be careful"...hehehe So that was Prom in a nutshell...I had a blast!
At approximately 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 7, 2000 we hit the road - me, Amanda, Whisper, Jill, Aimee, and Amanda's mom - for Louisville, KY. What was in store? No one knew...well actually, it wasn't such a big mystery- we were setting ourselves up for hours upon hours of lectures, performances, speakers...and fun! Conference is always a blast, I guess that's why I came back from college to go. Anyway, Whisper, Amanda, Jill, and I roomed together and it was interesting...here are the highlights...we were all acting like we were Latino all week. hehehe We got a total of 9 hours of sleep throughout the 3 nights. Thursday night was the Awards Gala (a formal event) and we took a carriage ride around town (even past the bars and strip clubs) and waved at everybody. Later that night, I locked myself out of my room (at 3 am) because I was sleep walking. Um..what else...Friday night, I had to call 911 because there was a drunk man wandering out into traffic, and an hour later we were facing a tornado! And I think that's about all. It was a lot of fun and I'm really glad I went (but not about the work I have to make up). And the best thing is that I've decided to stop drinking! Stop laughing! I'm serious! I feel really good about this and I really think I can do it! So that was Conference 2000! Yay! hehehe
You may have already seen this story on Sabrina's page. If not, enjoy...but be prepared for some sick stuff. (It's supposed to be true...???)
This is the story of two sisters...one (who I'll call...Sabrina) who dearly loved her sister and the other (who I'll call...Sarah)who couldn't care less. Why? Why do I say this? Well sister #1 (Sabrina) gave sister #2 (Sarah) a token of friendship and love...in the form of two necklaces. At first it appeared that Sarah appreciated the gift, as she displayed them on her rear-view mirror. Until one fateful day when Sabrina joined her beloved sister for a ride in her car...and saw only ONE necklace. Where did the other one go? "Joanie has my other one" was Sarah's response. Oh the pain! Oh the agony! To love a sister and get only a mint from Long John Silver's in return....
Okay, Nathan Rhea had a party for New Year's Eve at his mom's house. Well I was already drunk by like 9:30 when Aaron, Steve, Jeremy, and Jenny got there, but I poured a shot of straight vodka for me and Aaron. Well Dan-O was in the room and being the alcoholic that he is, challenged us to a best of three. So I did a bunch of vodka shots and had a wine cooler...after I was already very toasted. The last thing I remember is Jason Eschbach giving me a back rub. But apparently Nathan took me outside and I puked on his shoes and passed out. So I spent the next 4 hours unconscious on the bathroom floor. So that was how I brought in the millennium. Sounds fun, huh? Not really...my body hates me for it. But one thing's for sure...I'll never forget it!
Okay, so Weasel has a friend (that will remain nameless) who used to work in a broom factory. Seriously...he hand-crafted brooms. Anyway, he left one of these hand-crafted brooms at Weasel's house about a year ago and decided recently that he wanted it back...the only thing is, his pride and joy had been used on the kitchen floor for about 6 months and was looking pretty shabby. SO...Weasel redyed the bottom of the bristles to restore them to their original navy blue color, and we bought some twine from Odd Lots so we could fix the binding at the top. Ever tried to repair broom binding? It's not as easy as it may sound. First of all, the twine was too big so I had to split it up and then I had to poke it all the way through with a SCREWDRIVER! Not very pleasant. But in the end, the broom looked as good as new...but not good enough for Weasel to deliver personally, so Nathan and I had to take this broom to a total stranger at work at 2:00 in the morning. Crazy.
Oh this is so f00nay...Okay, my ex-boyfriend Jarrod lives in Columbus, but he didn't always live there...well the night before he left, he had this bonfire. Someone dared Jeremy Hollingshead (otherwise known as Schwinn) to pour gasoline on his leg and stick it in the fire. And that crazy mofo did it!! Well Rikka was supposed to squirt the fire out with a squirt gun, but that's not what happened. (He says it was out of water, but I just think he really enjoyed seeing Schwinn rolling around on the ground screaming "Wellman! Wellman, my leg!")
Oh my, this was a very long day, so I'll shorten it. I went to Brett/Jason/Jessie's Grandma's house after church and locked ONLY the door key in my car. And didn't figure it out till I was leaving. So I had to wait an hour for the tow truck guy. Then...I went to Jessie's house for dinner and her parents gave us $ to go bowling. Well it was league night in Jackson and Wellston, so me, Jessie, and Jeremy hit the road to go to Chillicothe. Well when we got there (finally...after getting lost...) they had this laser bowling thing which I LOVE! Anyway, I was wearing this cute little silver shirt that looks fine in regular light, but when you're wearing a white bra under a black light, it's like the shirt isn't even there! It was soooo embarassing! Jessie and Jeremy were yelling "slut! slut!". Oh my....
"Okay...this is f00nay...me and Steve went to a restaurant in Jackson that shall remain nameless (although it features a young redhead with braids...) and somehow, I swear I don't know (wink, wink), the flowers on our table mysteriously "disappeared" when we left. hehe...but THEN....we got to my house and Steve realized that he LEFT HIS JACKET IN THERE!!!!! so he had to go back in and get it...luckily they hadn't gotten to cleaning our table yet....oh my...(UPDATE: While Jessie, Jeremy, and I were in Chillicothe, we ate at Taco Bell and Jessie snagged some yellow daisies. Well I guess I shouldn't say "snagged"..they were deeply rooted in this fake soil and she had to really pull to get them out!
Okay, once upon a time these evil evil girls decided to be really mean and write a nasty message in my guest book....(sorry, that one's staying.)
Oh my...very old story, but one of the most memorable/embarassing moments of my high school career...Okay, it was after a football game my Junior year...Me, Bri, Laura, Sarah Wolford, and Desiree were all riding home from the game together. Okay, for some reason or another Bri and I decided to play a prank on Aaron Berridge and put a poncho on his hood...I'm still not quite sure why. Then when he came out and saw it we were going to turn on the headlights, turn signals, honk the horn, etc. So we waited...and waited...and waited...and almost gave up...and then we saw him, and we went through with the whole plan. The only thing was that his whole family was with him. (The other girls were supposed to be our lookouts...they did a "great" job) And we were all going to the same church so we knew we would have to face up to it on Sunday morning. It was sooooo embarassing.
Okay, for those of you who don't know already (how could you not, if you've heard anything about my summer...), Louie's is an employee bar at Cedar Point. You have to be 18 to get in and if you're under 21 they stamp a big red "NO" on your hand (I considered getting it tattooed there to save the guy at the door some time:) Anyway, the first time I went there was in mid-July. My friends Mike and Steve called me and asked me to go. Well Steve was 21 and Mike was only 17, but he had gotten a fake Canadian ID on vacation and he had used it for something earlier that day so we didn't think it would be a problem. Well the guy at the door had a book with what IDs from all countries look like and he gave Mike a hard time about it. Now, you would think that Mike would just let it go (especially since there was a HUGE line outside...it was "New Year's Eve"), but he kept arguing with the guy until he threatened to call the cops. It was soooooo funny. People were yelling things like "Just let the boy in the bar!" But the guy was a total....yeah. So I had to take Mike home. He never heard the end of it either because like 1/2 of the people there knew us. (On the way to his house Steve and I were cracking up! We were like "Don't worry, it's just a 'minor' setback!") hehe...one of the funniest things EVER!!
Oh my...this story goes back a couple of years...I went out to lunch with Seth(yes, the superficial one who tried to kill me), Nathan, Fortune, and Kyle. We decided, for some reason or another, to stop by Mrs. Lord's house while we were out. So we pulled into the KCI parking lot (next to a brand new green van)and walked across the street. Anyway, this is the good part...we were in a hurry when we were leaving and Seth started backing up while Nathan's door was still open...and we BACKED INTO THE VAN!!! Tore a big chunk out of it too. Then the door wouldn't shut right. We didn't know what to do so we just drove away and never did anything about it!!!! Crazy kids.
Okay, don't ask me why because I don't really know why myself, but Aaron and I jumped into my car without Amanda and Steve. Well Amanda jumped on the back of my car and Steve just kind of walked behind as I drove away. So I was driving to the end of Florence Ave. with Amanda on the back of my car when I saw her slipping off. It was terrible, but probably one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed. Luckily she escaped with only minor road burn and a swollen knee.
