Insomnia

Ok, so I know I haven't posted in a while and no, today I will not apologize, I have been waaaaay too tired to post coherently.
Anyway, Insomnia was Friday and Saturday. It was soooooo much fun!!! I got to church at 10 to 7, and almost nobody was there. Pretty soon Tawnee and Sarah got there, and we started talking. We found out that the three of us and Libby were all riding in the O's van with Steve and Deb. We were so excited! Trust me, being in the van is ever so much better than riding the bus! ('Cuz it's amazingly funny to see the looks on everyone's faces when you walk into Laserquest with Starbucks, or when they find you eating chocolate covered coffee beans outside Boomers...that sort of thing.) Besides that, on the way to Boomers (our first stop), we had an interesting conversation (I won't go into how it started) about names, and Sarah randomly said, "I'm Del...Del Taco!"...and one thing leading to another, the rest of the night Sarah was Del Taco, and I became Nacho, and Tawnee was Quesadilla, and Libby was Taqueria. It was really funny, but everyone else thought we were really wierd cuz they didn't understand the joke. You probly won't either, but I'm telling you, it was funny!
At Boomers, it was sooo awful, on the go-carts, we were coming in at the very end, and I was like at the end (only Libby was behind me), and waaaay before we got to the gate I took my foot completely off the gas...and I didn't slow down at all! So I frantically started pushing the brake...and still didn't slow down, so I started pumping it, and then slammed on it...and nothing would slow me down! The brake was completely not working! Yikes! So I came speeding into the parking area (what else would you call that?) at like really fast, and the guy that was running it got kinda mad at me (but I didn't get an "x"!!!! I was so proud of myself!) but I was sooo mortified. Every single car in front of me seriously moved like a foot, that's how fast I was going. And everyone in line was watching...and James and a bunch of his friends were watching and laughing at me!! I was so mortified! :( Other than that my evening was amazing.
I had never been to Laserquest before, so that was sooo much fun, even though I got 23, 24, and 25 out of 25...yeah, I know. I did really bad. But it was my first time...what can I say? It was a lot of fun though...Tawnee and I spent a whole bunch of quarters in the crazy toy machines getting necklaces and Tawnee got a bunch of tiny farm animals.
At McHenry bowl everyone's energy started to wear off, and we all got really tired. Our group was me, Tawnee, Libby, Deb, and Ronda. We took such a long time, that when everyone else got 3 or 4 games played, we only played 2. We had candy and caffeine there too. I had a Mountain Dew Code Red it was really good (and it lasted me till around 7 so I didn't crash til my dad and I were on the way home).
We of the van got to church way before the bus, so we got the couches. Tawnee and I took the one directly in front of the TV at the back of the room. We all had a continental breakfast once the bus people got there, and had a movie vote between Willie Wonka, Narnia, and Monsters, Inc. Almost all the girls wanted Monsters, Inc., and we yelled the loudest, so we watched Monsters, Inc. All of the guys were so mad at us! Oh, my goodness, that movie has never been as funny as at 5 am on Saturday! Tawnee and I were cracking up the whole time. Thinking back I'm sure it must have been really obnoxious to everyone else, but we were so tired at the time that we just laughed at everything, even stuff that really wasn't funny. (Like we laughed when the doorknob fell out of the grinder at the very beginning...how ridiculous is that?) Anyway....I have written way too much already so I'll just say I slept til a quarter to 1 and that was not long enough cuz I am still so tired...I'm going to bed now...

Good times, good times. I would have been upset at you too, for the last three years we have watched Monsters inc. at insomnia... I think it may become a tradition.
