Country Dancing Anyone?

Flashback:

 It's the year 2008.  I'm a freshman at Brigham Young University.  I have lots of friends.  I am not socially awkward.  My many friends invite me to go country dancing with them. I decline. They continue to invite, I laugh.

Now it's the year 2011.  I have many friends.  I am not very socially awkward.  A few of my friends invite me to go country dancing.  I decline. They persist.  I laugh.

Unflash to the yesterday:

It's 2012.  I am at BYU again.  I have a couple friends.  I suddenly am socially awkward. . . My roomies set up a date. . .We are going country dancing. . . So there i am, on a country dance floor (the building reminded me more of the elementary school gym in Dubois than a country dance floor) wishing that I knew how to country dance.  I said to myself, "self, you had like a million chances to learn how to do this  but you laughed them off.  now your date wants to go home cuz you can't dance and she knows you only went with her cuz your roommate has a crush on her roommate."  (What my date didn't know is that i also have a crush on her roommate.)  bummer.  I'm thinking this is probably the worst date i've been on since i got home. or before too.  

The good news:

She'd been on a string of unfortunate dates as of late so in comparison, this one was a delight! 

The bad news: 

That's probably not true, but it wasn't as bad as the other ones she'd been on (seeing as I didn't try to kiss her 20 times throughout the night)

Turns out her roommate who me and my roommate both are crushing on, is crushing on someone else, according to my date who may be stuck in the friends cycle with my roommate and lying so that he will notice her after 5 years of being friends. . .poor gal.  she was nice though.

Wanna Go Country Dancing So I Can Impress The Girl You And I Both Are Crushing On?

THAT is not a fair question? 

Once upon a time in MEXICO

. . .So there i was in mexico with older brother Jesse (well at the end of the dream it was jesse, at this point i think it was some general or military officer) and a couple of other people and we were trying to get to the top secret airplane hidden by the government so we could save the day.  we were being chased by our rivals.  There was a gun fight.  Then we got to the airplane but it was just me and jesse (or his soldier counterpart) and the top secret airplane and its like 8 against 2.  fortunately the airplane had a super high tech fancy gun so i lured them in and jesse(or so) got the rest of them except for the boss and then suddenly it was me and Jesse and we were in the military base (now in the USA)with my rival. he was fighting against us in the gun fight but had to team up for the greater good. . .

So I think we flew to get there. . .but the point is suddenly we were in the top secret air force base and we were searching for a top secret jet with special abilities which would be just what we needed to stop the evil genius' plot to do something evil and geniusy.  Anyways that was surprisingly easy so we get in the Jet.  Jesse is driving, and my rival morphs into my buddy Titan and everyone starts freaking out and saying hey someone is stealing the top secret jet! so we're trying to get lift but we weren't going very fast.  I thought "hey jesse why are you driving so slow there is no way we are going to make it over that fence." We didn't.

  Soooo we had to turn around and try again but this time we are going towards the base but still going way too slow.  surprisingly (but no that surprisingly) no one tries to do anything to stop us. (they most have known our cause was a just one) but I say "Jesse, we aren't going to have room look we need to go to the road so we have more space to lift off!" so we go over there and I'm like oh i hope we don't run anyone off the road, and then i see a car coming up on the side of us (yes, the car passed a top secret jet. i'm telling you jesse was driving like a gramma, or how a gramma would drive if she were driving a JET!!!! COME ON JESSE PICK IT UP A BIT!!)  Anyways I look down and who is there but good ole' stephanie nickerson and her family.  I'm thinking hey thats stephanie nickerson whats she doing here and then she starts waving at me and Titan so I'm like hey look it's stepanie nickerson and titan was like we need to lift off now! so i yell at jesse to speed up and we lifted up and then. . .

I woke up.  thanks a lot boss for calling me and telling me we aren't working today till 4 cuz it rained too much yesterday.  awesome.  now we'll never know if the geniusy plan was foiled or not.  (deep sigh)

Lion Wrestling

Dracula made fun of my phone. "what phone doesn't have flash on the camera?" (as his voice cracks)
I liked him better when he was eerily silent. . .  

this pic was too dark to see sooooo i made it fun!!

Why are haunted houses fun?  Because we like being scared.  Why do we like being scared?

Adreniline rush.  I know mother doesn't like scary things, but i do.  the internet describes it like this

"Basically, you can get this feeling defending yourself against a lion in the jungle or sitting in a theater showing a horror flick. We, as humans, appear to be "hard-wired" to be drawn to this feeling. It is older than we are as a species, and is tied to our survival; without it, we would have perished and died out long ago."

Anywhooos I had fun wrestling lions, if i'm not working tomorrow i'll do it again but this time at the haunted mill for fhe.
