Boston
Man, Boston was so much fun.
So I stayed up until 2 AM on Thursday because I couldn't sleep and ended up getting 2 hours of sleep, yet I was still more awake than most of the people on the bus who had had a full night's sleep. (Thank you, caffeine.) Then I annoyed people with the flash of my camera.
Yeah, so I TRIED taking pictures but nobody really wanted me to take them, so....
The Brenda fell down.
Then I took a picture of Madeleine taking a picture of herself.
Then we made silly faces.
Linda kept taking pictures of me, so I got her back.
We watched The Day After Tomorrow, Rocky 3 (which NOBODY wanted to watch), and Ghostbusters. We then stopped somewhere to get some breakfast, and I ate a sundae pie. For lunch we ate at McDonald's. Then I caught Giselle taking a picture of me.
Then I just waved the camera around randomly while holding the button.
We went through a tunnel and people were making a big deal out of it for some reason.
Then we FINALLY arrived at Boston at around 2 PM or something. It took so long to get through New Jersey. New Jersey pisses me off now. We decided that this place was a convenient spot to stop at.
Then we went to the Symphony Hall and took a tour. There was this one sound proof room where people would practice and Dan went inside. He thought he was locked in and banged at the door screaming. We told everyone not to tell him that the door was a pull-door, but he figured it out eventually.
I caught someone taking a picture of me in the music hall.
And I have absolutely no comment on this picture.
Then we went shopping at Quincy Market. We tried on hats wherever we saw them, and we posed as mannequins in front of the window. Someone took a picture of us, I just have to track them down. Then the girls in our group wanted to go to Victoria's Secret, so we followed them in, but we were kicked out by the chaperones. Yes, some of the chaperones were quite antagonistic in our escapades :/
When we got out, I heard people screaming for joy. I turned around, and ZOMG, there was Cheez. Three groups were fighting over who she was going to shop with. Emily's group won, I think.
We found this shirt in Urban Outfitters.
Then we found a photo booth and tried to fit all 12 people inside. It didn't work out at all. After we were done shopping we went to see a horse carriage. The horse was drooling and it was gross. Then it tried to eat my jacket and got its slobber all over my sleeve. The horse was also really dirty, and Erik decided to pet the horse then wipe it on my jacket. So I chased him in circles around our group and hit him with it.
UPDATE: My jacket has just come out of the wash. I am pleased to announce that the spit marks are gone FOREVER.
Then we found Evan, who made a bear at the Build A Bear Workshop. Everyone immediately lost all the respect they had for him.
On the way to dinner, Alexa and Madeleine decided to have two thumb wrestles at the same time.
Speaking of Madeleine, she would delete every single silly picture of her that was taken. It's a shame, because she looked really, really stoned in the picture I took.
We ate at Uno's Pizzeria. They only served cheese pizza, but it was pretty damn delicious. Erik ate around 3 entire plate-fulls of pizza, and he kept hogging the plate nearest to him, guarding it with knives. Linda tried to take a picture of our table, but I blocked everyone behind me, and Erik was eating.
And here, Alexa and Tyler got out of the shot, my hair was really, really messed up, and Erik was still eating.
For desert we had a brownie cake with icecream. Someone asked if the brownie was just a decoration. I lol'd.
I wondered if we were going to Sheraton Hotel, and lo and behold, I was correct. Ben gave Dan money to peck Skittles like a bird. I was going to take a picture of it but Dan killed me. We played DDR and watched South Park before going to bed at 1:00. I fell asleep sometime after 3:00 though.
Oh yeah, did anyone have trouble finding the switch to turn on the shower? It was pretty much hidden under the huge knob thingy, and it took me 10 minutes to find it.
Me: Hey guys, is this a guy or a girl?
Dan: Guy!
Ben: Girl!
It was a guy.
But seriously, this guy is Nick Agriesti if he was blonde. And I was thus inspired to make this icon.
So after 4 hours of sleep we ate breakfast by the pool. I had 15 packs of sugar with coffee. Then Emily painted this marvelous ketchup rendition of Mr. Baronio (at least I'm pretty sure that's what the painting is of)
Drew: Whatever happens in the hotel room, stays in the hotel room.
Drew: But sometimes it stays in the hotel room for too long.
Madeleine: Why? What happened?
Drew: You don't want to know.
Alexa: Tell us, because we probably did the same thing last night!
Drew: Tyler took a shit and made the entire room smell.
Me: So if you girls probably did the same thing, then who did THAT?
During the bus ride we laughed at how other people laughed. Brandon laughed, Madeleine laughed at how Brandon laughed, Giselle laughed at how Madeleine laughed, and I laughed at how Giselle laughed.
Giselle: You're going to make fun of me for saying this, but those rocks look pretty.
Me: *cracks up*
I laugh at Giselle a lot. I mean, she brought Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to read. That is funny.
We went to the U.S.S Constitution, and the museum was pretty fun.
There were a bunch of hammocks in the museum to show how people slept on the ship. It was actually pretty cozy, but they must have permanently curved the backs of whoever slept in them too many times. Then we swung side to side and kept hitting eachother.
Well, half of Stephanie's face was cut off and Shauna wasn't paying attention so we took the picture again, but now Josie's gone and Shauna still wasn't paying attention.
The hammocks were really close to eachother, so I barrel rolled from hammock to hammock, just for the sake of doing a barrel roll.
Then I prank-called my girlfriend, posing as a stalker and I said that I shot her boyfriend. The other Kevin told me how much of a horrible person I was.
For lunch we ate at McDonald's. Again. There was a Boston Market though, and some of us got kids meals. It was delicious.
On our way to dinner, we talked about Chuck Norris, microwaves, and I told dead baby jokes. Thus it was revealed how much of a horrible person I am. Then Drew told some really punny jokes, yet they were hilarious.
What's the name of a girl with no arms and one leg? Ilene.
What would the same girl's name be if she were Japanese? Irene.
I'm the only one who got the last one. Go figure.
We ate at a dinner theater, and each table was to have a name. We were the Forks. We even had a mascot, which was a fork.
At the beginning we had a little talent show. The first person to go up was Alex, who wanted to sing. Many people hollered in disapproval, but he sang anyway.
Girl at the "Winners" team: Why is Kevin sprawled on the floor?
Guy at the "Winners" team: I think he's drunk.
Then Evan did the Spongebob dance. All respect that was lost for him was immediately regained. I think.
Then, each team faced off against eachother in a Jeopardy-esque game. Two halves of our tables would have one turn to go against two other teams. My team dominated the first half (which I was in), but on the other half we were beaten by the Black Angels, who did the chicken dance to get 600 points. I was rolling on the floor screaming when nobody could name this song
Man, when I first saw who was in the Black Angels, I just cracked up.
Ms. Anderson, along with some chaperones also got a chance to get 600 points by doing the hokey pokey.
Ronald kept pushing the button .5 seconds after the audio clip was played, even though he didn't always know the answer, and Aaron would do a dance. Both of them lost in their teams and got kicked out of the Black Angels, but they were called up to play in the finals with eachother as a wild card. They were SO close to winning too. By like, .25 seconds. But in the end they were beaten by the Vanilla Faces. Now when I noticed who was in THAT group, I cracked up again.
Then we danced. There was this one song with a lot of head bobbing and everyone was jumping up and down, bumping into eachother. Tyler was in the center of all the crashing. (Betch had it coming though, he shoved me >:0)
We danced to "We Fly High," which was totally ballin'.
Unfortunately, Stacy had passed out and the dancing came to a close. Apparently she hadn't been eating for a while and she was exhausted. It set a pretty bad atmosphere as she was taken to the hospital, and people were crying. Back at the hotel, Dan put up a sign that said, "Anyone who needs company is welcome," so that people who were upset about the incident could talk. Unfortunately, some chaperones took the sign the wrong way and screamed at everyone to get out. Apparently, one room on the floor below were actually doing something bad, and it made the chaperones really pissed off. What a way to end our last night here.
So after breakfast the next morning we were on our way to a leadership workshop by Dr. Tim. Everyone had low expectations for this, but the guy was actually pretty funny and the workshop was really fun. We had a chance to get $1000, but we blew it off by people not paying attention. Bah.
Erik picked me up and threw me. I died.
Oh yeah, stick 10 milk duds in your mouth and say "Awards Ceremony"
Then there was the awards ceremony. Since we were going against a number of high schools in the festival there was no way we could have won any of the awards where the high schools were candidates, and there were lots of them. However, we did win 1st place for all of the categories in middle schools only. Too bad there was only one other middle school. We also got a huge plaque, but every second it was in Blaine's hands it mysteriously started to deteriorate. One corner was cracked up and was about to break, and part of the center was starting to come off. Then we headed back, ate lunch at McDonald's for the third freaking time, and watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the 5000th time. I was mostly asleep for the rest of the trip.
And that was Boston for me. I only died 3 times. I'll probably have more later. Now go count all the times I said "then" in this post.
