Bored

I'm getting bored of all these normal dreams. Maybe being a lucid dreamer wasn't so bad after all. I kinda miss sleep paralysis. It was exciting. I got adrenaline high without having to wait in line for a roller coaster or paying for skydiving lessons or renting action movies. 

Arranged weddings

I'm not sure I should even post this or not.

Worst. Nightmare. Ever. So I was trying to coordinate five different (mixed-up couples) pre-arranged marriages, aka our Home Ec. projects. One was a disco party, one was spider themed, one was dinosaur themed, one was a Hawaiian luau, and mine (ugh) was a blimp wedding.

 So first I went to the dinosaur themed one, which was my classmate Mykayla and Harry Potter. I had to corral the dinosaurs into a pen, put shock collars on all of the pterodactyls so they couldn't escape, set up the canopy (which was a massive leaf), drained the hazardous volcano, and dug a pool. I had no complaints from either side of the married couple, though

The second wedding was the spider themed wedding, for my old neighbor Tyler and my friend Violet (sorry V). So theirs was totally underground, and their wedding canopy was this super-stretchy rubber spiderweb. I was trying to put that up but I fell on it and bounced to Arizona. Once I finally made it back the marriage was three days away. I had to get the cake ready, fix the canopy, get the real spiderwebs out from the cave, hang up antistench samples disguised as spiders to get rid of the stench, mop up puddles, gather the webs, decorate, buy a ton of fake spiders, hang them up one by one, send out invites, and convince Violet that Tyler wasn't that bad.

The third wedding was the luau, between Selena Gomez's little sister and my Spanish teacher (shudder). I had to prep the beach, translate the invitations from French into both English and Spanish, then tie a seine net to be the canopy, rake up the sand, and purify the beach water on day 1. On day 2 I had to color-code the lei decor, grow a couple of pineapples, roast some pigs, harvest apples to put in their mouths, and convince Sarah (the sister) that Mr. P wasn't that bad.

The fourth wedding was the disco party. I had to prepare the whole thing for Leonardo DiCaprio and my grandmother's attractive, single friend. Creepy.

My wedding was weird. We were in a blimp for the vows but had to jump out and parachute romantically down to earth for the kiss, which is when I woke up. It would've been the most romantic, adrenaline-packed, super-cool wedding ever, if I had been in love- or even had ever met- my bridegroom. 

I was so glad I woke up. I thought for sure I had given my single life to this weird guy if never met before. PRAISE JESUS IT WASN'T REAL.

Haha

This is so funny. We were just having this conversation earlier... Déjà vu, anyone? 

Karate camp!

So our karate camp went to the zoo on Monday. I was with ten boys and no other girls in my group, but I'm ok with that. It was still a lot of fun, because even though I was a counselor, so I was working 99% of the time, I still get to decorate and learn to use the escrima sticks. It's now on my list of my favorite karate weapons- it's secomd to only the the bamboo fighting fan. 

Tuesday was beach trip. It wasn't quite as gorgeous as that picture shows, but it was still a blast. Several times, a group of my friends and I all were finding creative ways to jump into the lapping waves. Twice, we spun uncontrollably until we got so dizzy we'd almost collapse, then run in like we were drunk. Both times I wound up losing my balance and falling on my butt. Jack gave me a new identity- socially awkward penguin. 

For Wednesday, we went to a park in the woods and had a massive, free-for-all squirt gun battle. My alliance was with three others- Jack, Cam, and Gareth. It was so fun, even when I became a martyr for the team because I "died" (because of some park debris in my eye). The guys teamed up to protect me until I got to safety. Then I rescued a kid from sunning himself out into the street! Well, he would've been safe, I mean, it was Jack. But I like to think I saved him. That was cool. I also really liked seeing my old friend Autumn again. When the dojo was stil young when I was a little kid, I used to follow her like a lost puppy. It's cool seeing her again, after all these years. 

Thursday, Skyzone, was a ton of fun. Our dodgeball team was unbeatable!

Today (Friday) was laser tag, which was also really cool. Our team, the blue team, won 6 out of 8 rounds.

So...

 So today, my family and I went to the zoo. Turns out, tomorrow, for my karate camp, I'm going to the same zoo! 

PPDS

Post performance depression syndrome... the name doesn't do my mood enough credit. My dreams have all been centered around the play, the cast, the Murderous Night family. Yeah, family. (One dream was we had Michelle made us have a square dance. That would have been so fun!) But as for calling y'all family... well, after you spend three or more weeks working, talking, hanging out, acting, and stuffing your faces with ice cream (good times, guys) together, you can't really call them just friends. Good play, guys. It's been really fun!
