coasting

yesterday I got out of school at 10... and I was supposed to go to seminar for institute, but instead I did my roommates hair. now it was 12 and I was starving from not eating all day. anyways... I called up Danni and we decided to go to sonic. we were sitting there waiting for our food for forever. while we sat, we reminisced on that one time that we went up to the mountain with Spencer and Clint. ha ha... ya she was one of those girls that I said was stupid. funny how things work out, huh? so we decided that we should go back up and try and find the meadow. so we start driving up there. on the way up there are a lot of blind spots and you kind of have to drive on the other side in order to make it around the curve. well... Danni's car is a stick shift and on this one corner all of a sudden 3 cars come around the corner and we have to hit the breaks. hahahahaha... so she slams it into 1st and we start peeling out. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!! when we were coming back we were able to see them, so now we know that we have made our mark on the mountain. anyways... we just keep going and going, trying to find this meadow. pretty soon we realize that we don't have so much gas left. it kept fluctuating down and up, so we decided that it was more empty than full. we turned around and I told her that we should just coast down the mountain so that when we get down we still have enough gas to at least get to a gas station. so we start coasting. next thing we know, we hit a flat part and the car is barely moving. she had to press the gas a little for us to go. well this didn't happen the next time we hit a flat part. we had this "brilliant" idea to get out of the car and start running while pushing it!!! it was insane!!! I almost fell on the way out, haha and it's a good thing no one saw us, otherwise we would have felt like even bigger idiots. haha... so we keep running and then we see a huge slant coming up, so we have to hop back in the car. well Danni pretty much almost died when she did that. she was so scared that she jumped to hard and hit the steering wheel!! hahahahaha... so pretty much we had nothing better to do yesterday, other than driving up to the mountain and coasting down. I do admit that it was really fun, and even better that I have another good story to put on here.

PICTURES

These are my people!!! from left to right it goes jen, chelsea, lacey, me, dannie, and then margaret and breinn.

rattlesnakes

so... now we are making new adventures with rattlesnake hunting. one of the scrariest things probably ever. first, we start heading out on this "never ending" road. of course we don't see any rattlesnakes forever... then all of a sudden clinton slams on the breaks, him and spencer hop out, and then they go over to the rattlesnake and try and catch it. but they decided not to try and catch it anymore, now they just want to shoot it. so they shot it, and it was still moving. it was way freaky. the next rattlesnake is one that they decided to keep. they caught it and put it in a box and then placed it in the back of the truck with danni and jen. well the box tipped over when we were speeding down this road, and they started freaking out. luckily the snake didn't come out and bite them. anyways, we just kept driving around and would end up finding a few more, that of course were shot. boys really like guns; and that is pretty much the biggest lesson I learned that night. anyways... I hope you enjoy the pictures of the rattlers. I HATE SNAKES!!! but I will admit that it is a rush to chase one!!!

cards and boys

yesterday we went next door to watch the 3rd season of the office (woohoo... which I bought). so anyways, the best part about next door is that all of them are BOYS!!! and not only are they boys, but they are probably the cutest ones at this whole school. I know... we're pretty lucky. k, unfortunatly we didn't get to really watch the office, because everyone else was too loud screaming over who won speed!!! guess who started that whole fiasco???(MARGARET) well, this lead us to decide to play spoons. it was INSANE!!! the end of the game pretty much ended up where margaret jumped over the table to try and get the spoon. it was hilarious. next we played scum. never played it before, so this guy was trying to explain it to all of us. it did not work out. k... I forgot to mention that most of these guys are football players and they are not really the sharpest tools in the shed. wow... so pretty much it took like 30 min for him to try and explain and ended up in all of us never really getting the jist of the game. anyways, it was a fun night where.
