That's right Ladies and Gentlemen, two for the price of one!

Okay, so I obviously failed to make a post last week. It wasn't even that I didn't have a new experience. My excuse will be that I was waiting on pictures, but I'm sure my utter laziness and massive "To Crochet" list had something to do with it too. However! I shall make up for it! I will just use one post for two weekends!

So, first off, last weekend:

I got to be in charge of the children's section of the Blue Springs Health and Wellness Fair. It sounds like a vast undertaking, but all I really had to do was round up some volunteers and test out some kites. The day of the actual fair I helped watch blow up moon bounces and I got to do a little face paint. All in all, the day was a marvelous success in spite of how sleep deprived all the female volunteers were, and I got to see a paramedic run around with a kite and a nun try to sneak a popcorn bag under her habit. Priceless.

All the volunteers were wonderful, a big shout out/thank you to all of you!



And this past weekend:

To be honest, that same bit of crazy crocheting prevented me from doing anything too adventurous on the actual "Saturday Sunday" weekend. I got to go to a fancy smancy restaurant for my father's birthday, but other than that nothing too new to speak of. But then! A horrible craving for Tad's had me in Lawrence and a good friend recommended Crilla's. Oh....my....goodness.... did we have fun. We saw everything from Velcro enabled bed spreads to genitalia shaped cookware XD and then of course we had to go to the back room to look at the movies and the books. I got to learn a lot about my friends through this experience...kinda weird, but bonding is bonding. Then a creepy old man walked in, and, we were out of there. It was too much fun... SO worth the trip.

And that's that! I promise I won't slack off again for a while!

TECHNOLOGY!

So, this weekend I've had TWO new experiences! Two for the price of one! They are, however, somewhat related.

As I did turn 18 last week, I realised this morning I had not yet registered to vote. Needless to say, I was a little intimidated. I thought it would be this long, arduous process, but it turned out to be easier than I thought:

Step 1. Google "register to vote Kansas"

Step 2. Click first link

Step 3. Give the computer your name, address, drive license number, sex, and party affiliation

Step 4. Print for your records

The entire process took me all of five minutes :) and now I have nifty piece of paper that shows my eligibility to vote in the state of Kansas.

My next experience was something that I never was that interested to do, but as all of my company of this weekend pushed me to do so, I caved.

I got a Twitter...
and I'm not hooked yet

I'll give it some more time and start following more people/things to reap the full benefit, but if I were to judge right now I'm not that impressed.

At least I can say I was involved in all major forms of social networking in my time...

Taxi! To the Royals game!

This weekend was full of new experiences, it was my first weekend as an 18 year old! However, in honor of Senior Skip Day, I chose for this weeks new experience to be the Royal's Opening Day game.



Now, I haven't been to a Royal's game since I was about 5. Never had I been to an opening day game, AND it was Senior Skip Day! In honor of Ferris it had to be done!

My friend AJ got to make up her Senior Skip Day as well!



Now, let me begin with how crazy this day was. This morning when I woke up, outside was this sickly green color. Later it started to hail, and poured so bad that my sweatshirt is STILL drying on my banister from my run into school. By the time we got to the game though there wasn't a trace of bad weather! It was 73 and sunny! By the fifth inning the Royals were up by 3 (but in the next inning the Tigers were up by 4, so order was restored there) and the funniest thing of all today: I went to use the restroom the men's had a line that reached past the concessions stand, while I strolled right in and had a pick of stalls. NEVER has that EVER happened! Did I mention I'm easily amused?

Apart from the fact that traffic was crazy, and that we were surrounded by druck rednecks (at 3 o' clock no less), I had a lot of fun. I even bought one of those silly, 6 dollar souvenier cups to commemorate the occasion. At least we brought our own peanuts!



and I did quote the immortal words of Cameron:

"HEY! batta batta batta sa-WING BATTA! kennedy kennedy kennedy sa-WING BATTA!"
