I just got back from 7th Grade Bike Trip (which I gotta say - makes it to "top 3" in terms of awesome camp-outs) and IT WAS AWESOME!! Seriously.
First of all, my biking skills are beast now!! I'm so proud of my self! *smiling* In the beginning it was a little tough, what with all the retarded hills, but by the end I was making it up and down them without stopping!! Yay!! :)
Second of all, I have officially decided that stars shine brighter when you're holding hands with someone :) No really, I think that's a scientifically proven factiod. Ask Ben.
So anyway - here's how it happened: A bunch of people were hanging out down by the telescope Gerald had brought, and it was really dark because you couldn't have any flashlights around it. The stars were bright in the navy sky and the blankets were a startling white against the near-black looking grass. Ben and Jeremy had gotten there first, and there was an open spot next to Jeremy. Lily laid down next to him, and I next to her, and we gazed at the stars for maybe 2 seconds before Lily decided this setup we had going wasn't working. "Jeremy!" she said (pretty loudly I might add, but I love her for it :) "Switch spots with Ben!" At first Jeremy was all "I'm not moving..." and then he realized what Lily was trying to do. Then he started cooperating :) So Jeremy switched with Ben and Lily switched with me, so the lineup goes (from left to right) Jeremy, Ben, me, Lily. Perfect. :P So the rest you could probably guess but I'm gonna go ahead and tell you anyway: we held hands :) Like, BF/GF hand-holding, my fingers in the spaces between his, which was very cute :)
And other than that awesomey exciting hour, we biked. That's it. Oh yeah, and ate. OH! And slept, we did a lot of that. But that's it. I swear.
Hope you had fun reading about stars!!!

The whole "snow cone" thing, that was the shape I saw in the sky ;)
