Oh my gosh, does your mom love puppies, too?

College rocks, have I said that yet? Honestly, it's like the best thing ever. Just sitting here in my sweet apartment, my cool roommates and the awesome girls next door, watching everybody come down the stairs (Our front door is at the base of the apartment stairs... did I mention I was on the ground floor? Yeah, totally lucked out. And I'm only two doors down from the laundry room... NICE) on their way to class, looking all cute and studious and independent... it just rocks.

So last night was the I-Night Extravaganza... Oh my gosh, I'm SUCH A DORK... I just realized... I-Night, I-team.... I just thought they were trying to be all hip, with the Itunes, Ipod thing... No, STUPID, it stands for IDAHO... BYU-I... BYU Idaho.... DUH. Wow. I'm stupid.

ANYWAYS, as I was saying, last night was the I-Nigt Extravaganza. The upperclassman have FINALLY ARRIVED (Yes! RM's! Just kidding, Dad) and it was a sort of celebration... It was INTENSE. All over capmus there was activites... not just stupid games or whatever but awesome, awesome stuff. For eexample... there was jousting and mass dodgeball and giant twister and Sumo Wrestling and bowling (and human bowling, although I never actually saw that. In fact, I didn't go to half the buildings, so I didn't see a lot of it), there was a rock climbing wall, a mechanical bull, a dunk tank, a giant blow-up obstacle course (which was really scary because it was put on by the ROTC and they were screaming at you the entire time...) and then tons and tons of just group games everywhere...

There were people everywhere and people trying to recruit you for cross country and the swim team (Haylan said "I can barely doggy-paddle!" and the guy said that last semester they made the doggy-paddle an official event for the beginning swimmers, which I thought was really funny), and the ROTC was holding a push-up contest so we stood around and cheered them on and such...

I hung out with the AWESOME girls next door, Haylan, Taylor, Nan and Candace, who simply rock. We went and tried our hands at paintball (although we were just shooting at targets, not actual paintball), played LEGIT laser tag, played mass musical chairs outside in the dark (that was semi-dangerous. But so fun), and DDR... then we ran around campus, trying to figure out where Kirby Heybourne was performing...

So, yes, there IS someone out in the world who is more ADHD than Rebecca-Rebok. His name is Kirby Heybourne, and he's a mormon comedian. No joke, it was so insane watching him... he seriously got through like two stories the entire hour, because he kept going off on random tangents. And the thing was that it was an "acoustic concert and comedy show"... so he just sat there and played like ONE CHORD the entire time while telling his stories. Well, until he would go off on another tangent and have to use his hands to explain something... he was funny, though. Although he told us how he would always drink out of the gutter and therefore has tapeworms all his life.... he went into way too much detail. I was kind of grossed out. No, make that VERY grossed out. But I won't repeat it here.

I think the funniest part, however, was a complete improv... he was saying that his birthday was on June 2nd or whatever, and some girl in the audience shouted something like "That's my mom's birthday!"

He stopped playing his guitar, stopping everything, and was like "Oh my gosh, does your mom love puppies, too?" The girl shouted back of course she does, so Kirby replied, "Because I totally love puppies, too! Oh my gosh, I think I'm your mom!"

Okay. Maybe you had to be there. (Isn't that how most things in life are? You tell a story, and it just isn't the same. It's just how life works.) But it was funny.

Off to go devour Cinnamon rolls... don't even get me started on my obbsession of them. You know, the cheapy tollhouse ones in a tube... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh... so good...
