Backpacking!!!!!

So yeah. I went backpacking for 4 days (march 14-17) with my Venturing Crew. It was awesome on an epic level. What with the trees, the blue sky, the puffy white clouds, the caves, the rivers/streams, and my favourite, the Waterfalls!!! So little J caught three baby snakes. They were ADORABLE!!!!!!!! One of them I had spotted. We were pretty sure that it was a copperhead, but it was too young to have any venom. And I got to pet all of them!!! I love snakes... However, I wish that the entire spider species was non-existent. So yeah, on Monday evening, after we had set up our tent (the four other girls and I shared a four person tent), one of them had forgotten the door open...guess what happened. Yup. You guessed right. Our tent got a nice little infestation of nasty indigenous spiders. And they weren't small. So I'm supposedly the only REAL arachnophobic there; keep that in mind. One of the other girls, CS, and I went back to the tent to get something, and we discovered the tent door open, so we closed it, but not until after we...well, she, had killed or swiped away all of like 7 spiders from the outside of the tent. Then, we went back over to the camp fire. I told RS, (one of CS's two sisters) t hat there were a lot of spiders inside the tent. She believed me, so we went back to wage war on the spiders. When we got to the tent, we killed a few spiders on the outside and we opened up the door. This big black spider with a body that had an inch and a half diameter before you added on the legs, RS smooshed that one. Needless to say, that freaked us out, so we tried in vane to recruit a third of the girls to help us kill off the spiders. None of them believed us so we kind of gave up. We all decided that it was time to go go to sleep. JH (little J's sister) and I go find a bathroom spot. On the way back to the tent, I didn't hear any screaming or see the tent moving in weird directions and such, so I assumed that I HAD been wrong about the spiders in the tent. WRONG!!!!! So JH and I get back to the tent and we get in there. I look to my left and see a big spider on the wall. JH screams and so does everybody else, but oddly I don't I just freak out and half squish RS as I scramble away from that side of the tent. There's another spider crawling down a web adjacent to the wall that the other spider was on. All the other girls were completely freaking out and scrambling around looking for something to kill the spiders with. They got done of AS's (RS's and CS's sister) hiking boots and I grab it, start yelling "DIE!!!!!!!!! DIE!!! DIE!!!! DIE!!!! DIE!!!!! DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and slam the spider going down it's web (it dies instantly), and the force of that slam causes the spider on the adjacent wall to be flung towards me. Still yelling "DIE!!!!" I smash that spider, like, 7 times. I then proceed to search the entire tent and kill 13 more spiders the same way. Later that night, we did a spider check and I spotted another one over on JH's side of the tent. She screamed, and used the boot to kill it with. All in all, ME, the only REAL arachnophobic: 14 dead spiders, the Non-arachnophobic: 1 dead spider. GO ME!!!!!!

My Waist

So, yeah. Around last Saturday, I started exercising like normal people exercise, and I've lost 2 inches off of my waist. Seriously, I'm not kidding. 2 inches!!!!! And I didn't use anything but good ol' sit-ups, super stretching, and...ummm, what else.....OH! Two 25 minute...sessions, if you will, on this exercise machine that we have called a Gazelle. Ummm...and I jumped rope for 1 minute on two separate days. Maybe I would have lost more, but I ate a double cheese burger and some fries from McDonalds on someday or another. OH!! I ALMOST FORGOT!!! I did 1 set of 10-20 lunges and 1 set of 10-16 squats for two days, then off one day, then two days, then off one day. So, umm...yeah. This is pretty freakin' awesome!!!

Jive

I wish my Jive Tranzizzle-ata' worked... :C

Grrrr...

Okay, so the following was Newton's facebook status: "is the guy who stands out in the cold rain wondering whether or not someone will let him under their umbrella but no one ever does and they just pass him by." Upon reading that, I was quite sad and was like, "Awwww...poor Newton! :'C " And I was feelin' pretty bad...and quite sad... Then I found out that he had just randomly made up his status... ~>:C
Grrrr... *whispers* Newton...

Nasty Stuff #1

So, yeah this is just my honest opinion, but I think that it's super nasty when parents kiss their little kids on the mouth. I think that it's gross, no offense to those of you who do that. But seriously, kissing someone on the mouth is only for relationships that involve couples, not for parents and children. So, yeah...it's nasty.

Newton

So, yeah...this is a really random post that's really just a thought I just felt like getting out of my head. During lunch today, from the side of the table that I was sitting on, I had only to look up to see Newton. So, duh, I occasionally looked up. However, I wound up staring a few times because Newton had his head down at a slight angle, a straight face, and was looking upward with only his eyes at whomever was talking on the opposite side of his table, and I wish that I could have taken a picture, because there was just a certain appearance, a certain combination of...of elements, if you will, about him that was just extremely captivating...and attractive...

Random Question

So I was editing my profile, and I checked the box that gives you a random question after you save. Well, I got mine and I found myself thinking, "WHAT THE CRUD!!?!! LOL WHO COMES UP THESE THINGS!!?!! LOL" The following is the random question that I received: "Your superpower is that you smell like dandelions whenever someone lies. How will you maintain your secret identity?"

That Snow

So, yeah. That snow was pretty awesome! I just wish that it had snowed longer, snowed harder, and had snowed without rain. Then, it would have been Super Awesome!! But...it didn't, and it wasn't, and that's that.
