the posse summer retreat was intense. the bus ride was long and hot. the first thing we did were trust falls. the regular one was fine, but the human pendulum freaked me out, even more than falling backwards off an elevated platform.. i dunno. then we had to make sociograms, which made me realize how little everyone knew about me. it made me feel kind of bad and alone. i guess i didn't realize that everyone else was tight and that i wasn't. then we all chilled and mish did a funny/ridic magic trick. then we all talked about relationships and stuff. obviously, in "never have i ever" i lost. i knew that i would.
the next day we went on a high ropes course. we were all in harnesses and had to do a kind of obstacle course. it wasn't very hard except for the last part. we all kept falling and i was basically just on sam's ass. hahahah it was really funny. uhmm then we went back to our homebase and had to do one on ones. technically, mine was a 2 on 1 because i was with mish and dana. we had to make a trail, and find the others.. climb a tree, which was fucking hilarious. watching sham fall off was the highlight of my life. hahahahahah. we talked about our fears and about our lives. i think it was really good to get to know other people better. we had a bunch of side conversations and i found out that mish thinks women ejaculate hahahahha.
then i was fishbowl. woooo. so at first i was like i dunno what to write about, blah blah. then i wrote about last summer in spain. i got all choked up and cried even before we started the exercise. i stayed in the bathroom for a little while crying. then dana come in and i got some fresh air. everyone started to read what they wrote and by the end, we were basically all crying. it was def. an intense experience but necessary for all of us. then we went on a blind walk and had a camp fire and smores. mmmmm.
then we went on a motherfuckin zip wire! that shit was soooo hot. you basically jump off the side of a building, 60 ft. in the air and ride a cable the length of a football field going 30 mph. it was awesomeee. but it went by so quickly but i feel like my eyes werent even open until i got to the end. we were out doing that until about 3 am. we were all sooooooo tired.
the last day was just kind of a wrap up of everything. then the ride home. hot and sticky again. it was def. a good experience and we all got a lot closer. i hope that everyone doesn't just think i love chemistry. i mean that isn't the only thing i talk about... whatever.
just on a side note, monica and i went out on friday and met some guys. this one guy seemed especially interested in me and didn't tell me how old he was.. i asked today. he is 37. i guess i was wrong, only guys over 35 like me now, no longer over 25. that is crazy shit. and he had very bad intentions, lets just leave it at that. so no longer will we talk.
my life is ridic sometimes
