I got home today from being 'an adult' on the Sr. High Beach Trip. Wow! That was so much fun. I'm pretty sure that I enjoyed it just as much or more than I did when I was a youth. We went to Panama City for about 3 days. Stayed at the same retreat center that I stayed at when I was a kid. Swam in the same pools, sang some of the same songs. It was very nostalgic.
Let's see... where so I start? Ummm... How 'bout with the cast of characters?
Stokes - the earnest, only slightly high-strung youth director.
Boo - the tired, mildly pregnant chaperon and the only other grown-up girl
Me - the oldest person on the trip, goofy and prone to verbal diarrhea
Adam - the cool, funny chaperon who looks like he's way too young to be there.
Brandon - the brain of the trip, looks like a marine because of new haircut, finds the same things funny that I do, therefore providing comic relief.
Rick - the thoughtful one, also looks way too young, friends with Adam, pianist, really funny chaperon
Corey - the quietly funny, superior speaker, expert at practical jokes and sarcasm. thinks I am insane.
Well, that's the adults. We had 4 girls and 7 boys. All the kids were well behaved and interesting, and only one who was slightly annoying... those who went know who I'm talking about.
Okay, ten reasons why I think Corey Nolen thinks I'm a fruitcake. First, let me say I have no idea why I even care.
1. On our first meeting, I threw a banana peel at him and yelled "Catch!"
2. I actually told him that the girls saw the waistband of his underwear and now call him 'Ralph Lauren'.
3. On the phone, I made a joke to him and he just handed the phone to Stokes.
4. I am a fruitcake.
5. He gives me the "this woman is a nut" look.
6. I got a henna tattoo.
7. My tattoo is a skull and crossbones because I lost a game of paper/rock/scissors with Thomas and now we have matching tattoos.
8. On the trip home, I started following Rick on the interstate. Only it wasn't Rick. It wasn't even a Suburban... it was a Tahoe.
9. Various moments of verbal diarrhea.
10. I really am a friutcake.
Anyways, like I said, I have no idea why it matters. I like Corey. He has a great speaking voice, he should be a D.J. He has a lot of wisdom, I learned a lot. Plus, he never brushes his hair. You've got to admire that.
Well, more later. Bye.

You're the best fruitcake of a friend anyone could ever have.
crissy,
first off, seeing an entire post dedicated to me, does my already over inflated ego good. second, do you need help with 11-20.
haha, just kidding. i don't think you're a fruitcake although throwing a banana peel at me before we even spoke was quite bold... i admire that though.
crissy, i'm reading this at work (no-no #1) and i'm laughing so hard that i started to cry (no-no #2--total giveaway that i'm doing something i shouldn't). this is hilarious. i'm voting it best blog post EVER.
p.s.--sorry i'm a little late responding. i've missed the last few posts, so now it's time to play catch up.
