what a weekend to report....
Saturday all day I went to WaterWorld (big water amusment park dealy) with Tanya(Ukranian cousin) and some international students from the college next door. Quite the crazy time...
I think I broke my foot or something. And I KNOW I got a massive sunburn on my back. My foot didn't start hurting until later when I got home, and now it hurts so bad I can't walk for extended periods of time. I might have to get an x-ray, but I refused to get one today and I won't get one until it hurts for days. I always overreact and go to the doc right when something is wrong and the HMO tells me I need muscle relaxers and rest so unless it starts falling off, I'll walk this one off.
ooo poor me.....
Anywho, then I went to this great barbeque with lots of people from church and played volleyball.
Now, I have a hilarious story to tell you folks, but I'm afraid it might fit in the "you had tho be there" category...
but seriously, it's like the funniest thing ever so please try to visualize with me, okay??? Puleeeze????
so here goes...
Okay, we're playing volleyball in the back yard and my team keeps hitting the ball into the yard behind us, with a tall but exremely unstable old wooden fence in between. We never asked the neighbors for advice, we just kept hopping over to get it. One guy hopped over the fence and broke half a plank of the fence. Another guy was quite good and getting over and forth and such, never harmed the poor fence...
but then... *dum dum dum....*
One of the missionaries was on our team (I dunno about mish rules, but I didn't ask) and he was one BIG guy from Maui. Real tank of a guy - looked like he LOVED his food, yes he did. Sweet guy, but not equipped to go over the fence. Or was he?
Yet again, we knocked the dumb ball over the fence, and before we knew it, this guy was climbing the unstable fence to get the ball. "NOOO!!!!!!!!" we shouted, but it was too late. As he was slowly getting he legs over the top of the fence (he was in a laying down position) we hear the crack and he took pieces from the top of the fence with him as he fell down on the other side...!!!!!!!!
I was rolling on the grass laughing my head off. It took him a good deal of time to get back, and it took a few people and more of the fence too:)
Wonder what they told the neighbors the next day?
did you laugh??? didja??? please don't tell me you had to have been there - that's pure comedy!!!
Andywho, today I got a call from the guy who looks like Russell Crowe (actually, he's called 3 days now) and he wondered if I wanted to come over and hang out with him and the roomies. He said he wanted to see me.
I still don't know why exactly I went over there.
When a boy that looks like Russell Crowe calls you up and makes an effort to chat you up, I guess... heck I don't know. I just did.
It was funny, 3 big ol' LDS returned missionaries and me, with nothing in common with these guys except a good clean bill o' morals and.... heck, that might be it.
It's funny when guys are attracted to you and they're trying REALLY HARD to make interesting conversation. It was fun, but I was sitting inside myeslf, just giggling. I'm so glad I can enjoy a joke with myself:)
What the heck was I doing? Why was I there? I'm too old and tired to flirt. I wasn't even, really. Okay, I did put on lip gloss, but that was IT.
Now before I get a bunch of irate guestbook entries about how 22 is NOT old, heck I feel old. I have a sunburn, I can't walk properly, I recently broke up with a 20-year-old, and I really like getting a decent amount of sleep now. I even gave up an opportunity to go see UHF at some boy's house last night because it was almost 11. It's pathetic.
But the boy that looks like Russell Crowe is 25, so I guess I shouldn't complain. He's probably got BIG problems, at such and advanced age, heh.
No, he probably doesn't have many problems at all - which is why I don't understand why he's taking the time to pay attention to me. Maybe people don't notice I'm neurotic right off the bat.
Do you?
Anywho, I'm going to get to go have dreams about the groovy new British flag flip-flops my British sister-in-law-to-be brought me from England. Even my feet are freaking exotic.
SUPERCRACK is walking on the British flag!!! Is that right???
