ok, this weekend DEFINITELY beat out last weekend on best weekend ever. (unfortunately, i don't have ANY pictures documenting the fun, sad.)
it started out friday afternoonish when i went to king henry for amanda's roommate emily's birthday bbq. goood stuff. lots of food, conversation and celebration. then we all went upstairs and watched something....i don't remember, my memory isn't half of what it used to be. but i went home to work on homework shortly after that, so that i could go out that night and party. at around 10 i met up with amanda again and us and a few of her roommates and friends piled into ally's car and headed over to Rock the Block. we stopped and listened to Love You Long Time perform and then Amanda, Emily, Brooke and I decided we wanted to go dance it up so we headed to the dance floor where we danced for a bit, but then i went back to the stage area to try and watch
Ivy League perform. sound check took forever and by the time they were set to play, some bad ish was going down elsewhere and they were only able to play one song :( I was pretty bummed to say the least, since this is the third time thus far that i've been able to go and see them perform, but they've been shut down for one reason or another. the band was not happy either. i felt so bad, but nothing you could do about it. since we had to leave the party so early, we had our own party in ally's car, making our way through traffic. 6 girls in a 5 seater car blasting dance music = fun, every time.
we got back to amanda's apartment and couldn't figure out anything fun to do, so after emily and brooke settled down for the night, lauren, cari, amanda and i drove to walmart to get decorations for emily's birthday (which was really on saturday) we definitely blasted hsm2 in the car and belted bet on it, even refusing to get out of the car until the song was over. as we walked into walmart, my phone rang, starting another rousing chorus of 'bet on it' which then led into us 4 dancing in the aisles. decorations were a success as we were able to find ALL high school musical stuff, AND cari hit the jackpot with her poster size picture of the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with zac efron. amazing. she and i both proceeded to purchase one, me for my own enjoyment and her for emily. we found some sweet deals on movies while there and cari and i both purchased two: i got paycheck and last kiss and she got last kiss and one other. i've yet to watch them...
now, proceeding to saturday. i woke up to a rainy gray morning and had to drive to centennial middle school for soccer. wasn't exactly thrilled about it. but, only a few kids showed up and it wasn't quite as chaotic as i first thought it'd be. we gave out cookies (took the rest home...) and left early. not too bad.
after coming home and getting ready, amanda and i headed out to do some halloween costume shopping :) we have a few good ideas in mind, one of mine more prominent in my head than others, but we'll see where they take us...we still have a month to pound out the details. after our shopping extravaganza, we went back to her apartment where i did laundry and attempted homework/watched like 4 episodes of desperate housewives. then cari, emily and i left with matt and blaine to go watch the BYU football game at their friend's house, since none of us have the cable that shows it. enjoyable game, and matt even got us costa vida! mmmm. after the game, cari and i had a craving to play football...in the mud. so we went back to king henry and changed and gathered more people and went to helaman fields to play. perfect spot, especially after a full day of rain/snow. freezing night, but so much fun. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be hurting for a few days...emily is a tough tackler. and matt did some damage of his own on all of us. once the lights went out on the field, we went to a lit up patch of grass next to the parking lot and blaine threw passes at a bunch of us, trying to get us to dive in the mud. needless to say, we were all ready to walk home at that point since there was so much mud. then all 4 girls ganged up on matt and tried to take him down, covering him in mud, buuuut, that didn't work quite as well as we'd expected. he proceeded to take all 4 of us on and definitely beat us all, while ben and blaine just stood there and watched.
after cleaning up we went back to king henry and watched minority report....good movie. i had never seen it before last night. but definitely one everyone should see eventually.
all in all, it was pretty dang good, but now i'm hurting and getting sick, so it probably wasn't my brightest idea, but hey, you take what you get, eh? now it's off to church and then homework time all afternoon. i guess that's what i get for playing.
