hello, old friend.
5:59 AM
and the rangers scream out to the cabins
they are the hunters and we are the rabbits
maybe we don't want to be found,
maybe we don't want to be found
----
NJ's first ever swimming carnival!
The Fourckers' relay team: Divij, WQ, Qiu and I.
Aaaand we were surrounded (on all sides!) by teams and teams and teams of sporty people. If they weren't sporty, then they were reaaaally competitive, and sometimes they were both.
so we decided to just go there and have fun.
mission accomplished: I had such an awesome tyyyyyyme.
I love my Qiulynna. (: We were shackled together for one of the games and I killed our balloon baby and almost fell into the pool before the game started and I laughed so hard that we could hardly finish the game,
and the moment we reached the finish line; she fell over with a very unglam "oof!"
and since my legs were shackled to hers, I fell over too,
and then the both of us sat there for about a minute just laughing and laughing.
Captain's ball in the water is zeh fun. Maxy and Ting make awesome cheerleaders; jumping up and down at the side: "goooo Caraaaaa!"
and me screaming, "omigosh Divij come here come here come heeeeere!" whenever somebody got too close to the goal,
and Becky and I lunging for the ball at the same time, and the subsequent few seconds of thrashing and wrestling that ensued,
and the guys in my team stopping to hoot, "woo, catfight!".
Reuben won almost all of his races without even trying. :/
And I saw Wen Loong and he turned a few shades darker, I swear. He was paler this morning, but by the end of the afternoon he had turned golden.
sitting on the bleachers with Qiu and singing along to every song we know;
"your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
do you know you're unlike any other?
you're always be my thunder, and I said:
your eyes were the brightest of all the colours
I don't want to ever love another-"
"he's everything you want; he's everything you need
he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
he says all the right things, at exactly the right time;
but he means nothing to you, and you don't know why"
"we already know how it ends tonight
you run in the dark through a firefight
and I would explode just to save your life,
I would explode,"
we have rock hair. >;D
... Team relay event!
"let's just go in there and do our thing."
So we did.
When it came to my turn, I decided I didn't want to plunge in or dive in from the diving board; so I just hopped into the pool with my shirt on, went underwater, and started swimming.
aaaaaand the four of us were awesome awesome awesome, I love you guys.
After we came out of the pool, RJ ran up to us with a commentary and this is what she said:
"Caraaaa you held your breath for so long! When it came to your turn, we were looking for you and we couldn't see you and we were all, 'oh man, Cara forgot her turn," and we were waiting and waiting until suddenly we saw a head of black hair bob up and go down again, and then disappear for another loooong time. you must've held your breath for twenty seconds!"
*grins*
... Water elemental, 'member.
We dunked RJ at the end of the carnival-- she put up one of the toughest struggles ever, and clung onto the flag pole; but then she let go (why'd you let go? it's your fault!) and Maxy reached out one hand and gave a leeetle push, and
splash, goes RJ.
yay for splash and dash or whatever it is that our carnival's called.
... oh yesterday Wen Loong borrowed Eclipse from me,
WQ intends to extort Twilight from him,
and we saw Johnson burying his face in Eclipse on the way to the canteen.
Yay everyone's going Twilight crayzeeeee.
And I swear I had nothing to do with it. :D
Really!
we've come up with our very own Twilight cast; and while it's incomplete, it's pretty rad.
hurrah, life!
all for love, we become
larger than lifesize, wondersome.
God, how I've grown to love you, and you, and you, and, you.
