Wow, Myrtle Beach was sooo much frekin fun!! And yes Tiff, it was the kinda fun that you remember the next day, LOL. Anyway, Tiff's update kinda covered most of it. But I feel the need to reiterate it all. So Thursday we got up way too early and left school way too early. Had some interesting bus experiences with my bus buddies. My bus buddies included David who sat with me, Tiffany and Stephanie who sat beside us, Mrs. Williams who sat behind them, and Ashley and Sarah Williams who sat behind us. Mrs. Williams is like the funniest chaperone ever. Anyway, yeah like Tiff said, we stopped for lunch and we went to McDonalds cause it was closest, and there was a 'deaf' woman sellin keychains, and Jamie bought one cause she felt bad for her. But when she signed 'how are you' the woman just nodded, and Jamie said that wasn't a normal response to that, so we decided that she was a fake.
Anyway, we got to the hotel finally, and after certain people were caught with bad stuff in their suitcases, we found our rooms, and decided they were the best dang rooms ever, and we could so room there for college cause we had everything we needed. Tiff and Steph took the first room, and then there was a kitchen and bathroom and then me and Nicole had the other room closest to the balcony. We all had our own bed and they were really comfortable and mess. That night we had deep girl discussion, that kinda freaked us out when a chaperone knocked on our door, LOL.
Friday we preformed, and ended up gettin 1st marching and concert, but 1 school had a slightly better score than us, so we didnt get the big trophy, hmp, but we also got best drumline (yay eddie!) and best drum major (yay ashley! oh yea and marcus) and like 2nd or sumthin for jazz band.
Then we came back and had free time, and I skimboarded!!!! David said I did good for a beginner. I fell like 3 or 4 times, but then I started to get the hang of it, and it was fun!! Steph tried a couple times, but Tiff didn't cause she said it looked boring. But it wasn't, it was fun!! Very cold, very very cold, but fun!!
David wrote "I <3 U" in the sand for me cause it was our 7th month!! And the girls were screaming at me to get outta the shower and come see and I was like holy crap is the place on fire or something, LOL. Nicole said like 6 people called our room about it before I even got out of the shower. I was like aww, and I tried to write 2 beside it, ya know like "I <3 U 2" but it started to rain and because of that we were kinda late to the bus, and he never saw it, but I tried. Everyone saw it and made lotsa comments, including Shaffer, LOL, but it was great.
That night we went to Medieval Times and half the band was in the black and white section and the other half was in the yellow. Yellow was definitely the first section to LOSE and black and white soo won, but then the traitor dude hurt him or sumthing, and the blue guy won by default, just cuase the Princess Esmeralda or whatever loved him. So now there is this big debate and people were going around yelling YELLOW!! and BLACK AND WHITE!! everywhere, and David wrote "B & W" in the sand, LOL. I think it was this night that Nicole got us all mad hyper in the room and we called Brent's room like 60 times. Not really calling, just dialing and hanging up, until they finally disconnected their phone, heehee. It was all part of Nicole's ongoing feud with Randy Pearson.
Saturday we went across the street to the conference center and got little cups of milk for our cereal in our room, cause our other milk had frozen or something in the fridge. We passed the rest of the band who were coming to breakfast as we went back and we felt a lil dumb running across the busy road with small little cups of milk and juice, LOL.
Apparently at that breakfast, Curtis was dared to eat a plate full of that nasty bland half cooked scrambled eggs, and he did, and therefore we all call him Scrambled Eggs now. But its not just Scrambled Eggs, its.....Sccrrrrambled Eggs!! LOL.
Anyway, then people went to Nascar, but me and Steph and Nicole went to Broadway at the Beach, and we went to Johnny Rockets, this super sweet like 50's diner, and then me and Nicole climbed the mad tall rock wall, and Steph took pictures, and we were very proud of ourselves for not fallin off or gettin scared. Then we walked around and bought stuff and chilled on a bench by the water and almost fell asleep cause it felt sooo good.
Then we all met up at the Pavilion and rode lotsa sweet rides, and Curtis kept losing his frekin hat, it was funny. On the log flume David T. was trying to explain his engineering theory stuff to us about how me and Steph could not get wet, lol. We rode a kool ride that like went sideways and then upside down and somehow got tricked by the Verlander people and the Williams people and other random band people to go on this gay ride right after that like frekin cracked your ribs and jazz. And it was funny cause after we got off and yelled at them and made the world stop spinnin, we hung around and watched them do it again to more band people. LOL, it was hilarious. Even when people started pukin in the nearby trashcan, Eddie and Chris's dads, and Mrs. Williams were laughing, which was mean, but soo funny, cause they were acting like kids.
We all mosied on over to The Attic, which was the teen nightclub the jazz band played at 2 years ago. We got nasty food, ate some of it, cause Shaffer promised us pizza when we got back to the hotel that night, LOL, and had lotsa time left, so a bunch of us took a long walk on the beach to the pier and back. It was me, David, Steph, Tiffany, David T. Ashley W., Scrambled Eggs, Megan M., and Brian R. We had a good time. That was the only frekin nice day to enjoy the beach, and it was beautiful that day.
So then we went to the awards ceremony at the high school and I already told you what we got there. Came back, checked out "the pad" and went swimming until I decided to be late for the room captians meeting. Busted up in there late and dripping wet from the pool, but oh well. Oh yea, and I got burnt on my face and chest, and it hurt like a biotch!! Nicole got burnt too, but not as bad as me, and the only other person in the band who got burnt was Barton and thas cause he ditched us all day Saturday to go golfing with Mr. Reiber.
Sunday we were allowed to sleep in til 10, but me and Nicole were up at 8:30. Steph and Tiff slept til 10 when the colorguard hada go up to see Mrs. Cobb and get candy. We had coke and popcorn for breakfast while we packed. We said goodbye to our faithful room, where the heaters were on all the time, and swore to room together next year no matter what. Then we went to the bus singing what became known as our honorary song of the trip "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". We ate lunch at Planet Hollywood, where me and Steph couldn't have ice cream cause it was chocolate, and the dikes didnt have vanilla. Got on the bus, and had some interestng experiences on the way home. Me and Tiff wrote a song. Ya wanna hear? Too bad, you're going to anyway. LOL. It goes something like this....(to the tune of The Wheels on the Bus)
The Shaffer on the bus goes "Can you not talk, Can you not talk, Can you not talk" The Shaffer on the bus goes "Can you not talk", all through the woods......
The Kristen and Tiffany on the bus go "nnnduck nnnduck nnnduck, nnnduck nnnduck nnnduck, nnnduck nnduck nnnduck" The Kristen and Tiffany on the bus go "nnnnduck nnnduck nnnduck", all through the woods.....
The Stephanie on the bus goes "pretend sleep sleep, pretend sleep sleep, pretend sleep sleep", ETC.
The David on the bus goes "dude dude dude", ETC.
The Ashley on the bus calls role role role, ETC.
The Sarah on the bus goes "I don't want to be stalked, I dont want to be stalked, I dont want to be stalked", ETC.
The Curtis on the bus goes "Sccrrrambled eggs, sccrrrambled eggs, sccrrrambled eggs," ETC.
The Mrs. Williams on the bus goes "I got the wrong floor, I got the wrong floor, I got the wrong floor," ETC.
The other David on the bus goes "I sell drugs, I sell drugs, I sell drugs", ETC.
LOL, I think that's all the verses we came up with. Anyway, the trip was bunches of fun, and I wish we were still there!!! I love you all my best roomies and bus buddies ever!!! And I love you David!!!
