the trampoline adventure

so last friday i went on a date with a guy named tyler. he's on the cymbal line here at byu and it was lots of fun. i think that i need a short disclaimer though in front of it all. i have a fear of trampolines and flying through the air and doing flips and what not. i usually injure myself really badly on a trampoline so was kind of scared out of my wits for half the night.

so first off, we went to dinner at tgi Friday's. it's the first time that i've ever been there and it was pretty good. there were the usual questions about family and majors and what not, and then we talked about drumline and how we should take over next year. when we were done we went back to the riviera.

at the riv we played two games of pingpong. i must admit that i thought of julie and dt, and totally getting my trash kicked by people lik tim and red head ben. it was great in that sense. i was a little off my game in the beginning, so i lost the first game, but i came back strong and won the second game. yes!!

after that we gathered together in a group of 25-30 people so we could go to the tumbling gym between provo and springville. it was lots of fun there. i jumped into the foam pit a couple of times, and jumped around on the trampoline without injuring my self. i couldn't jump from the trampoline to the foam pit though, that was just asking too much from me. this was the first time that i've been around a trampoline in 4 or 5 years, and to have made it that far without getting hurt, i thought, was pushing my luck.

after that we went back to his apartment and played rock band for maybe half an hour, and then we decided to go to ihop. it was around 1 in the morning now, and so we went to ihop until around 3 in the morning, and then i finally made it home. it was way fun and i enjoyed it.

when i got home bre, one of my roomies, tells me that she and john, an old fhe dad, are engaged. i admit that i screamed YES many times and hopped around in a circle shouting it. it was great.

so, all in all, i would say that it was a pretty full weekend. but now we're back to the school week. nothing really happened today. i wish that i could have slept in but i didn't have the time to in the morning so i've been up for a long period of time. i'm excited to go home and see the roomies, and to chill and think of nothing for a while.

my goals for this week are to start working on my mad guitar skills so i can get better and better. i also plan on working on drumming. it should be fun. sweet! peace out kids.

wait- i forgot the most awkward moment of the weekend. it was linger longer last night and was sitting on the couch by myself, because i just like to chill, and feeling maybe a little anti social when this guy named lowell comes up and sits next to me. we talked for a short amount of time, and we ran out of things to talk about so it got awkward really fast. i couldn't leave, but he wouldn't leave so i was just sitting there listening to him talk about the picture on the wall when i noticed that a lot of people in the room were looking and pointing at me. i felt way uncomfortable, but i just sat there and tried to make relevant comments to him.

after he was gone and i was sitting and talking with mark, bryan, and bryce(huge group of guys, i know, but all of them are taken) someone came over and explained what all the staring was about. they made the comment that i looked uncomfortable and was looking for an escape earlier. i said you were right! we all had a good laugh about it. so now, that's the end, and peace out for reals this time! shout out to jack and jett!
