MORP

The day date-Highlights

• We had the most gangster group known to mankind
• We had a giant inflatable waterslide/bounce area
• I got a pretty major sunburn, which I didn't notice until the next day
• It actually wasn't that major
• We engaged in a water fight
• Eryn Haws and her little buddies crashed our party
• We played the Skittle game
• A few of us decided to see how many Skittles they could fit in our mouths
• I decided to never eat Skittles again
• We went back to the waterslide
• Somebody's nose was almost broken
• Luckily, they didn't have any communicable diseases-other than the swine flu
• The nose was healed and we ate otter pops
• There was a small preview of the quality of dance moves that could be expected later that night
• We went home

Dinner-Things I Learned

• We had the most gangster group known to mankind
• I am the king of awkward pictures
• It's nice to have a man in the background, rototilling his garden
• I can fly (I already knew this, but we got photographic proof)
• Cheesed potatoes are the best kind of potatoes
• Quoting Nacho Libre is a nice dinner table activity
• Megan Abel has never seen Nacho Libre
• That shopping bag was not in fact a garbage bag
• The ice cream man does laps around Carrie's house
• It's embarrassing to be the only one at the table who gets up to chase the ice cream man
• Carrots are not the best food to eat while chasing the ice cream man
• There is nothing worse than the feeling you get when the ice cream man gets away
• That feeling gets worse when you see two small children showing off their recently purchased frozen novelty treats
• Eating celery burns calories
• Some things are more enjoyable to throw up than others

I thought of about 98 Nacho Libre jokes while I wrote that. But...

The Dance-I'm sick of lists

So, after dinner, we got ready to dance. We had some glowsticks and some gangster flashing amulets. We got a little sidetracked by some glowing coals, but we got past that and drove away. We could tell we would be the coolest kids there.

We arrived.

We were.

We stood in line for pictures and said hello to all the kind people we knew there. There were a ton of people there.

We took our pictures, our couples pictures were probably really good. At least Megan's half were.

Then we went to the dance floor, made our entrance, and proceeded to tear it up. We're pretty gangster for a bunch of white kids. Sometime, between stellar dance moves, Megan and I spotted a man, sitting on the top of the bleachers. He looked lonely so we went and kept him company for a while. His name was Michael. We made a new friend.

Somebody then had the idea to go outside. The sprinklers were on. We got a little wet. Megan got soaked.

We peaced out and went to Kati's house. We were planning on having a fire. We built the fire pit inside and then realized we had no materials for combustion. We searched for a while and decided to go to Chase's house.

Jameson and Robyn had to leave us at this point.

Chase had a fire pit and wood ready for us. Our first attempt at lighting a fire didn't work out so well. So we chose an alternative solution.

Nobody was hurt. We are all okay.

We tried the fire again, turns out it was a structural issue. We lit it up and roasted things. I dripped some nice liquid starburst on my finger. We shared some nice conversation and we all went home.

Morp. It was a blast. Thanks everyone who helped plan it

Thanks Megan for bringing me along.
