BBBBB - Bon fire, Birthday, Blizzard and Big Bubblegum!

School drill and Emergency bus evacuation. Not as fun as it sounds, but I guess It's necessary. Day in honor I wore blue jeans and the red new cheer t-shirt so that all of us cheerleaders would match (funky, huh?) Sam is in my Biologyclass, at least now I have someone to talk to that's not a sophomore! ( Or that teacher's assistant! "Making sure the girls are in the right place"!? Well, sure, guess you can say it like that??)

After school we went fast to Grand Island to buy Tarryn some cards, and get jelly beans! I can tell you. They're not regular jelly beans. They're Bertie Bott's jelly beans... I guess it was kinda scary that we ate them on our way back while driving, I know that me myself would probably had driven off the road, but Nikki's a good driver. Here's the flavours we tasted: Lemon drop (the best!), cherry (okay), blueberry (okay too) grape jelly (did not like it), buttered popcorn (ew!), soap (even more ew!!), grass (I assure you... It tasted exactly like grass) Soap (not my finest moment), Vomit (Spit it out before I actually tasted the flavour) eartworm (same thing here) dirt (yes, exactly like dirt) pickle (not very delicious) but the worst of them all, no doubt: SARDINES. I don't even like fish, neither do Nik, and as a jellybean!? Not a good match. Right when I was eating this we were slowing down in front of some traffic lights. I pulled the window down and started spitting like crazy, and I was lauging (some guys in the car looked reeeally weird at me) and almost crying at the same time. They were gross. Some flavours we didn't try: Earwax, Rotten eggs, sauage, tutti frutti (we didn't get any...) cinnamon (...didn't get these either). I should buy some with me back to Sweden. (Still waiting for some kind of package (L) What if my dreams come true?) Anyways. We found the cutest cards for her. Im so mad I can't fins pictures of them to put up here! They were totally adorable. We met Jimmy fort a short while, he was nice.

Bon fire was not really as spectacular as I imagined, but I still enjoyed it (There were actually no real FIRE because of all the wind). Cheerleaders cheered, Dancers danced, Teachers held speaches (Coach Kubik cried as always, I thought it was cute to begin with cuz you don't see 50/60- year old men cry that often which would mean it was really emotional, but this happens everytime he's speaking about "his" football team), We had a competition between sports teams. That was actually funny! Each team announced their two "biggest babies" (XCountry, Cheer, Dance, Volleyball and Football) and then each team had a "babysitter". The babies would sit on their babysitters lap and being fed lemonade out of one of those bottles for babies. First team done wins! What they hadn't thought of what that the holes in the nipple was so small, so it took a loooooong time. Finally someone came up with the brilliant idea. "BITE OFF THE NIPPLE". Not the easiest thing we noticed, but they made it and guess who won? Cheerleaders ofcourse, whatd'ya think? lol. It was funny though seeing DJ being fed by Kelan, sitting in his lap with a haklapp på. Whatever it is called in english.

Senior members of teams held speeches. (Pretty much "I wish all teams good luck this year, I feel it's gonna be a good season and we'll do everything to win") Until Travis. Considered he's a bit shy and not the speech-type, this was really funny.

"I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm not really the speech kinda guy, but I guess I'm just here to make sure that all the ladies are paying attention" Lol. (Someone overheard a thirdgrader say "omg, that is freaky! Just before he said that, I was thinking about how HOT he is!" that was soo funny!)

We took senior pictures up the fire truck! FUN! I have to find someone who took pictures to send them to me.

Since it was Tarryn's 18th birthday we went to Dairy Queen after the Bon fire. People ate French fries and Ice-cream, yummy! (I got an oreo blizzard (L)) Tarryn had brought the cutest cup-cakes! White ones with lots of white frosting, colorful sprinkles and LOVELY butterfly rings on them! She got the cards and the T-shirt we bought her at Charlotte Rousse, and she got happy!

We didn't want to go home yet. We wanted to enjoy the spirit that only a birthday can bring, so where would we go but not Wal*Mart? I think Wal*Mart is way underestimated! By just being as weird as we are, we got new friends (kinda), many confused looks and gave Tarryn a memorable B-day. On my way out I saw giant-gums... 25 cents each.. Do I have to tell you I could not resist? Well, it turnedout good, I got three instead of one that I was supposed to, but I was the only one of us three that actually got all of it in my mouth to chew.. It wasn't easy I'll tell you, I couldn't talk and it hurt a bit sometimes, lol, but I probably got strong jaws!

I'm thinking about going for state-choir. You have to audition with like six songs in front of a judge, and they choose out of 2000 applicants. I will not get my hopes up, but just auditioning would be a good experience. While we're at the subject choir I thought it was kinda funny today. We were singing first down, and when we couldn't sing any lower we sould sit down, then we did the same thing but reverse: up. I had a good day, I'll tell you that, it's not all days of the week I get that high on the scale, anyways, I was the last man standning, I thought it was kinda funny, but I think I could have gotten at lest one step higher, but I got nerveus when I realized that the whole class (like 60 people?) were watching me after I'd been standing alone for a while.

Tomorrow is Black-out day, and I'm thinking about going crazy! Not at School but at the game. It's exciting, this is the first game I'll watch since I got here. Volleyball, home. School spirit for the win!
