First off...the trip was, overall, kind of unusual and kind of fun...
There were only girls signed up to go so it was pretty much a girls only retreat. BUT a six year old boy had to be taken with us too (cuz he didn't get to go to church camp -.-'). Yaaa um..he kept trying to..get in my personal space let's just say...anyway he kept getting on everyone's nerves and calling us weird names he just pulled out of the sky so we called him "laughing butter-bean". It suits him well I think..
Before we got to the campgrounds we stopped by at a museum. I wanted to poke the dinosaur skeleton soooo bad!!! XD There were really awesome "mood necklaces" and stuff at the gift shop. Too bad I didn't have my precious wallet...
The cabin was HUGE!! And very pretty :3 Everyone was freaking out because there was a hot tub there and they were all "I WANNA GET IN THE HOT TUB!! CAN WE GET IN THE HOT TUB?!" After we hung out in the lousy old hot tub, we were going to have a "beauty pageant". We were divided into 2 teams, and my team chose me to be the one to get all dressed up and show off my "talent" and such. I don't have any talents that can be displayed before an audience...so I had to make up a retarted dance on the spot. Hehe I won :)
Next day we went canoeing. I had never been before..I got paired up with my youth group teacher, Mrs. Abbie and Butter-bean. We were paddling in a very unusual way and that resulted in making our canoe go in all these random circles. We must've looked like a washing machine....Butter-bean was thrashing around and I was freaking out cuz I thought he was gonna tip the thing over (the water was 40 ft deep, btw. And I can't swim). I could tell the surfer dudes at the canoe place thought we were idiots..but what the heck..
In between all of this there was consumption of fudge, freakishly icy water, lots of Bible study, criticizing Justin Beiber (why am I even capitalizing his name??), going through a museum backwards (on purpose), being annoyed by Butter-bean, and annoying Butter-bean himself.
One of the best parts of this trip was trying to convert a Belieber to Skillet. And it worked!! Sort of. We all kept torturing her with the question "ok now that you've heard Skillet, who do you like better?!" In the end, she confessed she liked Skillet and JB equally. I was so proud of myself.
Pretty much the only thing I've been doing this week is watching as many episodes as I can of "Full Moon o Sagashite". I'm really lovin it :D My fave episode so far is 11 so I think I shall post it when I'm finished with this...and I read this really awesome & epic book (Prism by Faye and Aliza Kellerman). If you're into sci-fi or thrillers, I definitely recommend it :D
Oh and my favorite character in Full Moon is Takuto so I drew a piccy of him :3

Grrr...I need to do some serious updating!!
Starting around two weeks ago.
Went to Leander to visit my grandma.
Saw Toy Story 3 while I was there. Omg it was sooo freakin good!!! I definitely recommend go seeing it if you've seen the other Toy Story's. The baby and monkey will scar me for life though. o.o
Went to Wendy's before the movie and lost my mind and for some reason ordered a sour cream and chive potato with fries. -.- Uhm yesh...this kind of thing happens to me a lot. Anyway that will scar me for life as well..ugh.
Spent the night with meh bud down there. Haha...silly, silly times ^.^
Went to the pool. Public pools are some of my least favorite things in the world, unless they're almost desolate, which it was once we were there for a while. I really hate them because...idk...I feel like I'm being stared at? or something. But nearly every person cleared out pretty quickly. I was so thankful.
Attempted to go a second time a few days later. It was closed for some reason. Olivia, never without a crazed quote on her tongue blurted out "I FEEL like I've wasted my ENTIRE LIFE!" It's now on my list of Facebook Quotes.
Consumed lots of Izze Soda, popcorn, watermelon, Nutella, chips...basically a whole five days of unwholesome crap.
Stopped by at Cici's and Barnes and Noble the last day. Saw the evil twin of a celeb and several other people I know. See, according to me and Olivia's theory, everyone has an evil twin. Everyone. Even you do. Your evil twin dresses like you, does their hair like you, maybe even talks and walks like you do! There can even be evil triplets or evil quadruplets or maybe even evil quintuplets. BUT...you never see your evil person. You never have and never will. You weren't destined to. Other people can though. And I saw the evil twin of Bruce Davison. o.o
At Barnes and Noble I began an epic search for volume two in some mangas I'm reading. Couldn't find volume two for ANY of them! (What is up with Barnes and Noble not having part two of anything?) But I bought volumes three and four anyway. Surprisingly, it actually sort of makes sense even without my dear volume two. Btw, the mangas I'm reading are Kasumi and Full Moon O Sagashite. I'm obsessed with Full Moon...it has an anime too but I love the manga so much better. It's...more dark and serious. The anime's cute but doesn't go along with the manga too well. I really like watching it though. :)
Sorry if this post was boring and the last thing about Barnes and Noble didn't make sense -.-"
But hopefully I'll be able to post something more interesting when I get back from a camp/youth retreat thing Thursday. I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't exactly want to go but...let's see what the heck's gonna happen.
Blogger's being an idiot and refuses to autosave anything and my fingers are getting tired.
Peace.
