sigghh.... im back from youth confrence. whew. since thats fresh on my mind ill go ahead and write about that. then later after that ill write bout that new mexico 50 miler... not like miler lite. ya know like mile-er. Any way. so. we came to y.c. armed with a case of a drink that will not be named here. (mom and dad'll go crazy over that one for weeks) a case full of cream soda, a bag of salt and vinigear chips a can of salt and vinegar pringles (i like salt and vineagar ok?) also. we had choclate chex mix (choclate and salt dont mix) and 2 butter scottch snack packs (which i some how never ate. it must have been all the soda i had to keep me occupied)...sorry for all the parenthesese. me and adam split up the unnamed drink case and cream soda. so now ill describe detail by detail what happend.
DAY 1:
we all get unpacked in our rooms. lets see if i can remember this right. i shared room 16 with taylor. room 222 was occupied by timmy, joesph from mount airy ward, and someone else. room 224 had robert hiatt, david riska, and this guy.(i only know his as "marco's friend") room 17 was solo and ihulii(not even close to the right spelling im sure) then in room ? was phillup, zack sloop, and daniel hiatt.
so. after unpacking we waited around until tweleve which was about a 2 or 3 hour wait since we got there early. then at tweleve we all got together and had a service project. i should make a little sidenote here. we were all split up into colored groups. i got blue. blue group went to a nursing home which it looked like the frikin prep school of nursing homes. the ceiling was huge, the whole place was clean and they had elevators an a tv that was the size of...i cant thik of something that big to compare it to. maybe the sun? i dunno. anyway it was big. so we all sat around and played bingo with the old ladys. funny story comin up here. onf the ladys won and she picked a deck of cards as her prize and i, being the handsome young service...thing...that i am, i offered to show her a card trick. so she said "nooooo. im savin these for later so me and the girls can go upstairs and play strip poker!"
by this time youve hope fully returned from your perch over the trash can. oh ya i got another funny story. while at the prep home, me, adam, and his ex kelsey were walking our old woman back to her room when we stopped by to see her friend Mr. lucas. it all went south when mr lucas started to jump the line (in an oxygen mask) of humor and stalker when he started hitting on kelsey. as kristen would say, yikes. he was like, "ooooo your so pretty i might just have to take you back up to my room and have you stay here with me.) uuuuuughhuuyyau. sorry. i just got the gibblies.
other projects included cleaning a childrens home. which was described as "something out of a horror movie" sesitives stomachs stop reading now. they cleaned the bath rooms and they said that there was like, black water in the toilet and they had rust and stuff all over the toilet and wall behind them. and the showers had stuff flaking of into them and just gross stuff all in them. yummy.
now for the time you all have been waiting to here about. my first dance. i was just one big bundle of awkward. it wouldnt have been as awkward had it not been my first dance on my freaking birthday. adam went to get brother mcdonald to anounce it. so then 4 girls ran up to me and i doubt i could have been waring a bigger sign that said nervous, confused, embarrased, awkward and out of place. anyway i know im a stud and all but i felt like shooting kelsey that night. every time i went inside she felt that it was her duty to come get me and hook me up with someone. hmmm.
anyway after the long long long dance, i washed up and went room hoping. if youve never done that its where you start off in your room with taylor cozzens. hes obviouslly going to read harry potter for about 30 minutes. the trick is not to daze off. try to break conversation. when u succead then you may pass to the next most likelly to fall asleep. in this case robert and daniel. who were playing cards. it was a really long game. like 10 10 minute rounds. i got out on round 2. go me. so i was on my way downstairs to get a soda out of our mini fridge. taylor had even been nice enough to lock the door and go to sleep. i woke him up. he was mad to learn this was just to get a soda. oh well. when i returned to the game they were all winding down. so i muttered mormon swears like "crap sicles" and "gosh dangit" under my breath. so then i walked down to shaylon and adams room on the second floor. i figured theyed still be up guzzling down ibc. sure enough they were. i hung out with them for another hour. then they went to bed. hmph. so i wandered the halls because ny that time, everyone i knew and could find was asleep. i even woke timmy up (a mistake. never do it). then i stumbled upon an open door and inside sat solo, pillip, zack, taylor hall and jese. jese and taylor id never met. but they were cool guys. it was i think 11:00 now. we stayed up till 4 just talking. then they said we should sleep. so we all just slept there.
whew. if you havent already left your computer screen or fallen aslleap from boredom, ill continue with day 2.
i woke up at 6:45 am after sleeping for 2 hours. i wanted to go all night. oh well. sister hiatt have a cool talk. then kim peterson (a guy) gave an awesome talk. the dance wasnt all that cool. i liked the first one better since it was outside. ooooo gossip time! tim vogler and vedi (solo's twin) danced almost every slow and i think hes got something goin on!!!1111!!one!11! we all gathered at room 202 agian like the night before. keep in mind this is a 1 man room. last night it had been crowded but that night there was almost 20 people in there. im not even lying. 8 boxs of pizza $40 worth of drinks and snacks. pretty fun stuff. went to bed at like 2 something. maybe 2:45. i had been watching tv in the lobby for like an hour. then i got lonelly and no one else was up.
DAY 3:
brother peterson spoke agian. then we bore our testimonys. then we went home. weeee!
too much typing for one day. im not going to start on the new mexico trip today.
