snow and hair

So, remember that snowboarding thing I was talking about earlier? I neglected to mention that on this trip we discovered that we are probably the nerdiest group of seniors ever, we being W, F, S, G, and me in no particular order. For a quick sketch, W is a Korean boy who's amazing at violin but not much else (mostly coz he's supremely lazy); F, a.k.a. Fishy, is an odd blend between your typical good Asian girl (the kind with straight black hair, undyed) and a maniac. S is a previously-wallflower badminton-obsessive hopeless romantic, and G is a half-asian bassist who once threw a boomerang into my backyard. I think that about sums it up.

Our late-night conversations started off innocently enough on the topic of dreams. We learned that F gets scary pregnant dreams, S flies whenever he's in a lucid dream, and W recurrently dreams that he's a boulder sliding down a hill with many other boulders while being attacked by evil manic boulders.

We then moved on to love lives. We decided that we are all sad, sad people.

Fast forward to the next night! This is where it starts getting extremely a little nerdy.

G: Hey, I still have the crossword from that newspaper!
ADELA: Let's do it!
ALL: Yeah!

/crossword bedpile

ADELA: WAIT YES!
W: WAIT APPLE!

bedpile hysterics for the next 10 minutes

F: Haha- hahaha-

F: Ha- wait what?
ASH: This way, Brock!
ALL: OMG IT'S POKEMON!!!!!

hysterics for a full half hour

Utter, utter fail.

Ash sounds like a girl. Oh wait, his voice actor is a girl! hup.

This spawned huge enthusiastic anime/manga discussion that went from Naruto (I hear Sasuke dresses better now?) to Elfen Lied to Evangelion to Dragonball... and on and on and on. G felt v. left out because his Japanese blood was 4 generations removed and he had not enough nerdy anime knowledge. However, he proved his nerdiness otherwise by taking the time to beat and fill all 5 high scores on W's iPod with his own name. We decided that we would storm G's house someday by jumping my back fence and hold an uninvited Code Geass marathon in his room.

By the time we moved on to other topics, we were all in hysterics mood and the slightest thing could set us off. e.g.,

G: Look, a crack on the wall!
US: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *choke* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH- HAHAHA- HAHAHAHHAAHA *pounds bed*

...yeah.

(May I mention here that regarding the newspaper, we finished the entire crossword and the entire word scrimmage as well. that's how bad we are.)

Lengthy discussions about orchestra, tour trips, school, people, teachers, hell, I don't even remember. At some point we prank called Boitz (I think this was actually the first night), who reminded us to break legs rather than fingers so that we'd still be able to play at the concert.

Basically, we are huge nerds. lmfao.

In other news, due to an unfortunate miscommunication, I have no bangs left!

BARBER: So how would you like them?
ADELA: Sideswept, up to about the eyebrows.

Now, what I MEANT was that when it was actually swept to the side, it would be up to about the eyebrows. My barber took it literally.

;;;;;;

So, for the next month or three (depending on how fast my hair grows), I have to clip my not-bangs up! What a nuisance.

(but it's all good, because I can see out of my right eye now, which is a plus)
