i never had an entry about seattle! so we went on the experience journalism project and it was soooo freaking awesome. day 1: wake up sooo early and catch a plane, AWESOME BUSDRIVER NAMED KEN!!!!! OLD MAN WITH GREAT STORIES! ill never forget him. then check in to the extremely nice sheraton hotel complete with swimming pool, spa, and gym on the 35th floor! then we explored seattle on our own. we went to this combined mexican/italian restaurant. eric entertained us with piano. fun times. then we went to the convention center for the keynote speech. the dude was wearing the hottest vest you ever saw. except for burn's now tht was sexy. we had dinner with the crew, journalism and yearbook. anyways, then the girls and i went up for a swim. there were lots of teens there from all accross the country in this tiny pool throwing around the little stress bvalls they gave out for free at convention. later we went to the boys room and played truth or dare with those balls. fun times again. fun fun fun then the girls stayed up talking about i dont even remember. it was quite late i remember tht much.
day 2: woke up early, around 5:55. the girls went for a morning swim and shower then headed off to the first session. the sunrise was beautiful from tht 35th floor pool. i have to admit, i never really watched a sunrise before tht! anyways, ill always have the memories b/c we took pictures hella! even in our suits, check erics xanga. anyways, the session were good the first day, on sensitive issues, captivating writting, photograohy, and other basicis like tht. we went to 5 sessions total i think, then we had the rest of the night to ourselves. we had write offs on friday, day2, i believe. they were crappy. they were like, do not speak to your neighbors or you could be disqualified. i was like dude, i can totally just look over at my neighbor's ed. cartoon and steal their idea. me and this asian dude next to me were like sending psychic messages to each other. when they said 40 mins left, we were both like, o crap tht scared me! then we kept swearing the whole time cause the thing was so dumb. anyways again. so after tht we went out on the town. tht was the night we went to sushi at the gourmet place. it was awesomely good. seattle has great seafood. we went back to the hotel for the dance. it was awesomeness again. except we were in the middle of this really sweaty group of people. but we found the yearbook girls. eric was outside playing the piano for tips. he made like 20 bucks and some lady gave him her watch! wtf. anyways then we hung out in the guys room again. yearbook was there too this time.
day 3: woke up hella late, hah about time. we went out for starbucks though. had a salad and this really good grapefruit drink. mmm. met the yearbook girls then headed over to the convention center for three more sessions. after tht we had lunch at subway with the boys and angela "shared her secret" i still dont get it though. after tht, the boys went shopping (HAHAHAHHA) like they did the WHOOLE TRIP. anyways, inci angela eric and me went to "old town" and it was frikken scaryness! it was incis boyfrinds idea. we used the crazy awesome free underground bus system, and when we came out, we were like where the hell are we? there were homeless people and cardboard pieces everywhere. we walked a few blocks and it got better, but on the way this african american lady came out from an alley wearing a white sweatshirt. she had her hands in her pocket and she had white powder allllll over her lips. use your imagination. we were freeaked out. i was linked arms with angela on my right and inci on my left and inci slowly slid her hand down my arm until we were holding hands, we were squeezing really hard until the lady was a block behind us. it was helllllla scary. and eric, i dunno if you coul have defended us. anyways. we should have brought ralph to protect us. so we walked to the waterfront and angela took some pics. then we walked down the waterfront area, it kept gettting nicer and nicer. then we went in this shop, the curiousity shop. it had lots of weird things in it, like the mutated pig, and human mummies, and fish flavored candies hahaa. we came back. then took the monorail to the experience music project. which was way cool. on the way we ran into the riverside hs people. they had some nice guys, didnt meet any of the girls tho. then we got into the rock and roll museum where it was being held. it was really neat to see the actaul museum as well as the dance they had with this huge screen on one wall with a matrixy kind of pattern on it, but the pattern made the face of a moving person. anyways, then we were like hey, the space needle is like 2 seconds from this museum. so we went out and me angela inci and lauren from yearbook went up to the top of the needle. it was a great view, we could see the water, and with the telescopes, we could see these girls in their hotel room. anyways, i had thought we were going to stay in the dance so i didnt bring a sweater, but then we went to the top of the space needle on the deck and it was FREEXZING!!!! jesus mary and joseph it was cold. after we got some coffee from the starbucks at the top of the needle, we went down to join the boys at the arcade. but on our way down the elevator stopped at the middle floor, and allllll the advisors were there and there were disco lights and disco music and i was like WTF?!?!! ahahhaha it was sooo funny. and the guy wouldnt let me off the elevator. ahah i wanted to see johanna and ask if she'd had anymore mohitos (spelling?) hhahaah. cause before tht night she was like, i just had 2 mohitos so you guys just go out and do wat you wanna do just be back, actually i dont care when you come back blah blha blah. it was frikken funny. so then we played 9 holes of golf for 3 bucks. and came back on the monorail, but we lost the boys. FUNNIEST THING EVER: so we got back to the hotel room and like 3 mins later, angela picks up the hotel phone, all i hear is angela saying "ralph--ralph is that you? omg wat happened? are you guys ok? omg im coming over right now!" and i was like freaking out>! i thought like eric died or something. so then we ran ot their room and roger is curled up in the arm chair and hes just like, i dont wanna talk about, ralph you tell them. so ralph is like trying not to crack up, and he tells the story. so this lady held them back at the monorail cause there were too many people. they considered going around her, but i guess they didnt. so then they were coming back to the hotel, and this homeless guy with one eye starts runnning up to them. apparently ralph saw him and strated walking faster, but then roger didnt catch on, so the homeless guy chases him down and holds out his hand which has skin disease allll over it, and says hey how ya doin? then roger was like no thanks and ran like two city blocks back to the hotel!!!!! ahhahahahahaha.he was traumatized. poor roger. there was this other homeless guy who came up to him with a squirrel on a leash and he was like, save the environment! blah blah blah. haah roger just has luck with homeless people. that night the guys came to our room. along with the yeaerbook girls. it was the funniest thing ever because we kept telling inci she talked in her sleep. then she fell asleep while everyone was still in the room and she started talking in turkish. so i went up to her and i was like "inci?" and she made some noise, and i was like, "inci do you love me" and she made this really loud happy sounding "ahhuh!" and then i said do you love angela? and she sadi the same thing and i asked about ralph adn it was the same, then i said inci, do you love roger? and she didnt say anything. it was the funniest thign ever. anyways.
last day: so sad. we went to awards, we were really happy we got like 4th in the nation for a 16 page paper. it was great. eric got a excellent award, inci got honorable mention o i forgot, yesterday we went to todai and it was HELLLZA GOOOOOD!!!

omfg!!!!! the coughing lady!! i seem to have some dirt in my throat! and wat else,,,, something
anyways, so the one acts at homestead yesterday were the awesomest plays ive ever seen. the first one was just 2 people. this guy was trying to commit suicide by throwing himself off a bridge with ankle weights, but the river was low so he fell on this girl who was there to throw a ring box into the river. the whole thing was about suicide it was pretty funny, yet serious and sad, especially in light of the recent suicide at homestead. in the end the guy and girl agree to go to NY and make a weekend out of seeing the sights, then jumping off a big bridge together. tht was the end of the act, but by the end of the real play they end up falling in love. the next play was good. the act was called common grounds. it was a bunch of different groups of people at a coffee shop. the 2 workers were talking about how you can tell wat kind of drink people will order by how they dress, act, and who they are with. one worker said you cant tell just by looking at them, but the other worker always guessed right. there was a group of girls who were playing a friendship game and they were the kind of people who act like friends but really arent, then there was a guy and a girl on a couch and they were hillarious. the girl was emily from my chem class. shes awesomness. so they were having this argument, saying the other was an enigma. it was so funny. the guy, alan lee, was soo funny, he kept knocking over the coffee on purpose. sooo hilarious. i cant even describe it. then emily kept laughing randomly for no reason and pissing alan off it was great. then there were too girls sitting on the side on the ground playing chess. they were talking about friendship. one was wearing a red shirt and the other a blue shirt. the red shirt girl asked questions about wat the other wanted to be when she grew up. she didnt know. the red shirt asked if they were still best friends. she saked the blue shirt if her favorite color was still the same as in middle school and the other girl answered yes, red. and then the red shirt girl said no, its blue and walked out. i thought it was meaningful if you think about it. then these girls in the middle had this conversation and all it was was like "did he?" "yes" "omg you didnt" "yea we did" "wat was it like?" "it was great" "i cant believe you did" b;ah b;ah blah... it was very... implicative if thts a word. the third one act was the frikken most hillarious thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was a murder mystery rip off. and everyone had had sex with everyone, even the furniture, and the detective! and they all had ridiculous accents, and the ending line was "anyone for sex?" said by the murderd dude. then they all started stripping and the lights went down. it was frillarious (frikken hillarious). i want a tape of it. or the script or something. more later im tired |
