CONVENTION 2008 WAS AMAZING!
However, it was that amazing that i dont think i can put it all in one entry. So we'll do 3 different ones, kinda like a column in a newspaper and you'll just have to wait a day to read the next part of the story.
All day friday, if you were at school with me, you would have seen that I was way past excited for the weekend. I couldn't sit school and i couldn't focus for the life of me. great day to give me a test in every class i had. but whatever.
Sp Vicky drove me home, i did some last minute packing and then showered. Liss picked me up like 10 minutes after i got out of the shower and we went back to her house, where dom picked us up and drove the two of us, along with my aunt down to the adam's mark. "Dominic, there's a stop!!!!" haha good times.
Once we got there, we went straight to registration, and got our stuff. I was extremely pumped after doing this because it was my first best friend encounter of the weekend. Adam, being the only one of the three on the YB was working registration. At first he was a few tables down from ous but then i guess he needed some envolope off of our table so he came down. I didnt say anything to him, but he did a double take when he looked up and saw me. All we did was say hi to eachother, but I guess I just hadnt expected to see adam first. So I was pretty happy walking out of there. I get back in the room with all our stuff where I'mm about to pick it up to move it up to our room when Maria practically tackled me from behind. So then Christina, Liss and i got a bell hop and took our stuff up to our room. I was texting Karen while watxching some tv and eating candy when i get a text from Eric that says "I'm here". So I jump up off the bed and run down to the registration room. I was standing in the hall right before that ballroom and Steph grabs me and goes "Julie come with me! I have something you'll want to see." So I go with her and she takes me to Curt. I was pretty much the happiest person ever!!!! Cause as we all know, curt is my best friend in the entire world and I was pmped to see him. I practically ran him over when i went to hug him. But so i stayed in that room for awhile. Saw Monica, Mike, Henri and a few others before returning to my room. (oh and if you're wondering what happened to eric, yeah i never found him)
It comes time to go down for the firday night festival and I see some more CLI-ers which is always good for the soul. Then we went inside and listened to the rules of convention and the main speaker. There was a break inbetween where i got to see Kelsey and Jess, which was good. Then a short reconillation service, followed by confession if you wanted it. Howvverr, you didn't have to stay, and of course i didnt. I went right to the festival, mainly because I was on the lookout for food or drink. I had a horrible headache because I hadn't had dinner and it was like 10:30 at night. I won some skittles from a game, you kno the one where you put a chip on a number and then they spin the wheel and if your number is the one it lands on you win...THANK YOU DEREK ROY!!! haha
Eventually Curt caught up with me. I was talking with my aunt and dom when maria, grace and him walked up. All i could talk about was my headache. It jsut hurt so bad. And Curt started rubbing my forehead and then he asked me if i had had anything to drink, which of course i hadn't. So he grabbed my shoulders from behind and decided we were going to the coffee house and he gpes "We're getting you something." And I didnt' have any money, so I told him that, and he didnt kno it cost money. So then he whipped out his wallet and decided he was gonna buy me one. I refused to drink it but he was like "At least put it on the spot where it hurts." I did that and it numbed the pain. We walked around for a little while and i was getting tired of carrying it so i finnaly gave in and drank it...lol. We found adam at some point and took some pictures with him, and traded our church pins. I think his pin is my favorite. We went to bed I guess at like 1 after room checks, pizza and stuff like that. But i was happy cause i had seen two of my 3 best friends and i was texting the other....
