spring break: the night of no sleep.

this is my first post, so here goes nothing!

i spent the night last night with some of the craziest kids, my friends, i've ever met:
emily, and her sister sarah, kellie, maggie, lisa, lluvia, and cristina.

cristina had asked me a couple days before to help show her how to work her camera, and i offered to show her how photoshop worked as well. so we spent a good four hours photoshopping and picture taking down on kellie's dock.

kellie had made these delicious miniature cupcakes, in which the whole group devoured in a matter of minutes.

after eating the cupcakes we all decided to play reverse hide n' seek. it's not a tame kids game, and i suggest if you're a timid person you shouldn't play this game at dark. in a closet (the closet had two bedrooms, a study, and two huge closets). with crazy people who scream at the smallest of sounds. sarah being sarah, found a broom and would whack at any area that looked like a possible hiding spot. the point of this game is not to get caught by the person hiding and the whole group goes looking for the person, but when the person jumps out we all go running to base. it's a fun game to play at a sleepover.

after playing reverse hide n' go seek we decided to watch cabaret, which is a classic and one of my favorite musicals of all time. after that we watched chicago which i sang every song, very terribly and loudly. i sang until the group hushed me up.

after watching the musicals we played a quick game of truth or dare, where kellie had to snuggle up to sarah (who was already asleep) and whisper the lyrics to one of the songs from cabaret.

the group began to get tired around 3:30am, but lluvia, cristina, and i got the bright idea that we should stay up all night. we'll we did. we didn't sleep one bit, not once. we walked upstairs to much on frosted flakes and fruit loops. then we watched lion king 1 1/2, but while cristina eventually fell asleep, lluvia and i did not. after watching the movie we tiredly stumbled down the four bajillion stairs kellie has leading down to her dock and watched the sun rise. then we walked up those stairs and to the beginning of kellie's driveway which is like a mile long. it was still really early and everyone else was still passed out downstairs in kellie's basement, but lluvia and i got to see a whole family of deer lope across the road and into the forest. after that lluvia and i got changed into our bathing suits and relaxed in kellie's hot tub.

so last night i didn't get one bit of sleep, and i feel disgusting now. i'm never doing that again.

the people in the pictures are lluvia, cristina, kellie, maggie, emily, me, and sarah. most were taken and processed yesterday.
