kehgidghskfj!!!! I had sooooo much fun going to North Carolina AGAIN! Let's see, we left Thursday night @ 11 something because the news came so everyone wanted to be on it! I didn't get on the same bus as Bryan : ( but I talked to him on the phone a few times! I did get on the bus with Alex and Luke though which was cool!
We stopped about 2 hrs into the drive and took a break and what not. Started talking to everyone on the buses...We stoped a few times throughout the trip and ate and relaxed. Met a lot of new ppl on the way there which was cool. Everyone was nice! We watched a lot of movies on the bus, which I fell asleep too haha!
The director on our bus, OMAR was awesome, he was such a cool guy! The guys sittin behind me were hilarious the whole trip and the one guy wanted me to rub his feet and I was like ewww I hate feet! This girl kept giving me compliments and saying I cant believe how good u look for just waking up and not re-doing ur makeup and she kept telling her friends how cute I was...it was kinda embarassing but whatever haha! On one of the stops I ran into Melodie and her friend and we chatted each time we saw eachother which was cool...she had some bus stories to share as well...haha about someone sleeping on her butt ( haha the blonde chick). The lady across from me let me use her toothpaste, thank goodness : ) The one driver was crazy and he was flying around curves and I started sleeping and I flew out of my chair...it was soo funny!
We finally got there and it was GREAT! The weather was soooo amazing! We got off the buses and started shouting and getting all ready for the game and everyone was looking at us like what the heck...they traveled all this way to watch the basketball game! We got our tickets after like forever...found our seats and then we went walking around! Bryan took off his shirt and painted half of his body gold and half black...lmao...it was great...got some pics with him and we talked to soooo many ppl that were cheering for all their schools and they were soo nice and I cant even count how many people that came up to me and said "Hey, where is your school at?" haha NOT CALIFORNIA!....MICHIGAN....Erik also had his face painted, it was funny looking but very cool! Me and a girl I met decided to put some paint on our faces so we put OU...haha it didnt come out so great but whatever! I saw Luke and his friend from OCC and they painted their faces and I gave them some signs that said GO GRIZZLIES! I basically chatted with everyone on the trip plus other random ppl from N.C. who were rootin for us! We ended us losing, but it was alll good because I'm just glad we made it this far! Plus, UNC won't be winning the finals, that I am sure of! We still walked out proudly...good times...even though I do wish we won so we could have stayed and then I would have been able to see Duke play on Sunday : (
After the game, we hung out for a bit OUTSIDE how nice...loaded up and then went to get some grub...Wendy's was slooow as a mug...I sat with Alex, Erik and Luke and another girl...I forgot her name (oops, she is cool though) since Bryan was in the neverending line....everyone was going into the bathroom and trying to scrub off all the body paint lmao...it was great! The ride home wasnt sooo bad, I couldnt get situated right though!
My mom ended up being in Charlotte as well when I was there for a Mary-Kay conference so I talked to her at the game and whatever and she was having a good time as well! My mom and sister amongst others kept callin my phone and so it was dying like a mother...I called Andy later so see what he was up 2 and tell him about the game! I missed alll of Dan's calls : ( since i had my phone on silent all night!
All and all, I had a really fun time, there was a lot more but I'm sick of typing! I'm sooo glad I ended up going, I had a blast! : P
SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO DONNIE...U DA MAN! : p
