Owl Prowl...where to start? The night looked like it was going to start out great. 91 bottles of soda in the break room with endless amounts of junk food, good pizza in my stomach, seeing old camp/Owl Prowl friends. Then, I met the two other girls Jordan and I were supposed to work with. I had that gut feeling of dislike the moment I saw one of them, and got to meet their leader.
When we were setting up, their leader talked to us as if WE were first year teen girls. The two girls in her troop were 9th graders. She asked us questions like, "Do you know where the break room is?" and such, treating us like younger girls! Hello, we've been teen girls at Owl Prowl for what...FOUR YEARS. Tch.
But even worse than the leader were the Fresh Meat. They tried to order us Wise Fools around. And, if you know me, you know I despise it when someone bosses me around without reason. ESPECIALLY someone younger than me. "Do the cheer, Brachi!" "I don't cheer" "Do it with me!"
The daughter of the leader was worse than the blond cheerleader. We had an adorable little girl accidentally pop her balloon in line, looking like she was close to tears. Savvy was helping out at our station during her break, and recognized the girl and the balloon that popped (Her station was doing balloon animals and hats). So, the girl bowled. She got a few down the first time, and a couple down the second time. Again, she looked like she was about to cry, so Savvy and I quickly knocked down the remaining pins to make her smile. The leader's daughter, Courtney, went off on Savvy and I because we made a little girl smile. She said that it didn't count, I told her I knew that and I just wanted to make the girl happy, and she told me not to do it again. What's the point of the whole night? For the younger girls to have fun! During that night, every year, I live to see the younger girls enjoy their time playing games, dancing, hanging out with their friends, and interacting with us teen girls.
Later on in the night, we had a few girls that didn't hit any pins in their lane the first time. I told each one they had two more tries, and Courtney said they only had one. Jordan and I stuck up for the younger girls and said that was unfair, and she went off on us again. Only one of about five younger girls that came to our station that missed all the pins the first time got two more tries (Because after her second try she had 2-3 left, and Jordan and I cleared the knocked down pins quick enough for her to knock the remaining ones down. And, because Courtney hadn't caught on, the younger girl got to put her score down as a spare).
The breaks weren't too bad, though the Fresh Meat kept following me and Jordan. So, since I knew they wouldn't possibly work on their break, after two breaks of eating, my third and fourth breaks were spent making balloon doggies or handing Savvy the right color balloons for a hat.
The DJ...was horrible. Last year's DJ was so much better. This year, the guy stopped suddenly at 5 o'clock (He was supposed to go on until 6 AM), then after many complaints he started up again only to end at 5:35! D< Not only that, but the songs he played were horrible besides the classics (Macarena, Cha Cha Slide, Chicken Dance).
To top the night/morning off, I started coughing violently around 5:25. My throat has hurt ever since. I bet I caught whatever it was Savvy and her little sister had. x_x
So, if I'm not at school tomorrow...that's why. D:
