Let's just pretend......

Let us say that one is on one's roof with one's boyfriend, and one is making out with said boyfriend, who unfortunately has a curfew. How does one keep track of one's time when forty minutes seem like three? Does one check one's watch every two minutes? Does one set one's alarm? And how does one not feel like a shitface when one's boyfriend is late for curfew? Ah, the trouble of teendom.......

well one's friend would say to one that he or she needn't worry cause it happens and if he was really that worried about being home on time then he should've been the one checkin his watch every two minutes...

Whoa snap, I knew about this boyfriend before half the people on this site? Interesting. Anyway, do the alarm thing. I tend to fall asleep at parties, people's houses etc. and I have never been late for curfew. Although I set it on my cellphone and put it on vibrate so no one knows I have an alarm on(if it is important enough to set an alarm in the first place).

Vibrate mode=best.cellphonefeature.ever

Yeah, most definitely set an alarm- vibrate if possible, cuz it's funny to see one's pants to a dance when it goes off. And I will be getting this information about a boyfriend as soon as possible. you hear?

No, sadly, he was not at my graduation party. His name is Kevin Rooney, and he is the cutest boy you will ever see. Ever. He's camping with the Boy Scouts right now (I know, precious), but I will allow everyone to meet his aquaintance sometime in the near future. Merge, chill out, I definitely told you about it. Jeff, quit snapping and being jealous.

MIRYAM!!! I KNOW THAT BOY!! he is in my brother's boy scout troop, in fact i've been around him alot because of that... i'll be seeing him on thrusday b/c that's family night and obviously i'll be there for the brothers... i can't believe that it's Kevin Rooney!!!

Time. Out. Thursday night while they're camping? The barbeque? Wow. That is so funny. Isn't he cute?

miryam i love you more than words can describe. i cant believe you just said "Time. Out." you make me laugh. and agreed...kevin is the cutest boy in the entire world...hes just so...cute.

Blogger Stephanie said...

i will agree he is one cute boy.. and yes, while they are bbq-ing... that's the only day that they have to shower (b/c they have to look nice for family) and they bbq and eat good food b/c we're going down there... i still can't believe that it's rooney... he calls here quite a bit looking for my brothers and next time he does and can say ... hey! do you happen to know a miryam? and then i can fall down laughing...
anywho... i think it'd be funny if i went down there with a funny message or something.. so if you have anything for him that you want me to either take down or say to him.. just let me know

I showered at least once a day at Summer camp when I used to go. And in my troop we had a tradition where the parents who came down would just bring us food, which usually meant steak and shake. The real reason the parent's come down is because of the Order of the Arrow pre-ordeal tap out ceromony. If that means anything to you. Thursday and friday are pointless, becuase wednessday is the best day of the week. As senior patrol leader two years ago(the last time I went actually) i lead my troop to our first ever victory in the Water Carnival, and set up a rave party at the Trading post. Seriously we played all techno and dance music, turned out the lights and bought all the glow sticks they haed. It was crazy nuts.

But then they shut it down because some kid hit his head on the wall while mashing. I mean they really didn't shut it down they just turned on the lights and played the Oh Brother Were Art Though soundtrack, which is still danceable so we had fun. Oh good times, good times.

And the food is only bad if you suck at cooking and don't undedrstand that salt and ketchup in large quanities makes every meal taste good.

wow.. jeff, please chill out.. i've been going to those boy scout pre-ceremony family nights for the last 10 years so yes i know exactly what happens.. not only are all my brothers in boy scouts but my boyfriend and his brother as well so i have known about everything.. and yes, i know some troops bring down food but my brother's troop happens to bbq for the family... and yes, i know you can shower everyday but i've heard stories that the only day that is required to shower is thursday for the parents and the ceremony
yes, i also know what the tap out ceremony is, and it does mean alot to me b/c two of my three brothers have been tapped out and we're hoping that my dad is this year
please don't say that i don't care or that i know nothing about this b/c i've tried to be very supportive of all the guys in scouts b/c i can see the positive things that it has done for my brotehrs, and i am very proud of all the guys that i know that have kept with it all this time...

Personally I think Order of the Arrow is stupid. Its a slave labor orginization. I am a member and really got nothing out of it. The initiation is akin to the book Holes where you do grunt work all day long with little food(lunch is a piece of bread and a slice of cheese, honestly that is it). Then after you finnally make it in, they give you a nice dinner, but I was so sick from having not eaten that I didnt eat that anyway.

Once your in your expected to participate in quartely service projects in which I got posion ivy at least 3 times(then again I am highly allergic).

I would much rather spend my volunteer time doing habbitat for humanity or race for the cure rather then clearing brush with hand tools for 5 hours when one person could do it with a mulcher/mower in about 45 min. It just seemed pointless.

"please don't say that i don't care or that i know nothing about this"

thats an easy request to satisfy seeing as I did nothing of the sort.

And did you ever think that maybe everybody else would like to know what its all about. Don't be selfish I wasn't even adressing you.

I think i was in scouts for like 11 years. Never got my eagle, realized it wasnt really worth it. I got to be incharge of my troop for the last year I was really active(techinclly I think I am still registered) and I do agree that was worth it. I think the ranks and stuff are a big misnomer and what each person gets out of it is up to them.

i wasn't being selfish.. i was the one who brought up the family night/bbq/ceremony night thing and you decided to address that as well... sorry for assuming that you were saying anything to me.. obviously i'm not good enough for you to address me when it's basically been just you and me posting on this...
but i'm not going to fight you on this.. it's not worth the time and it's too late to care anyway
