This past weekend, I had the opportunity to once again join my friends at the BSU on their fall retreat Escape. I had been looking forward to this weekend for weeks, so I was so stoked that the day had finally come to hop on that bus & head out into God's great creation that is the middle of nowhere. I was so excited that I forgot to bring a very good friend of mine: my phone, Rafael. This realization began the roller coaster that is my range of emotion. At first I had a little panic attack (what if a disaster happened & no one could reach me??), which was followed by a little bit of relief (I could now enjoy the weekend without the distraction of my life back home), which was then followed by a sea of sadness, & then finally the acceptance that there was nothing I could do to change the fact that Rafael could have been left anywhere, from the front seat of Lindsay's car to her fridge. I didn't realize, though, how hard it was going to be for me to not tweet everytime something funny or life changing happened throughout the weekend. So, in an attempt to preserve what sanity I had left, I began to write down what I WOULD HAVE tweeted in my notetaking journal & I am now going to share said "tweets" with all of you.
*AHEM*
#1. I just want to put a Ronald Reagan mask on & hit him in the balls with a baseball bat. **(this one had nothing to do with Escape, it was just something I had said before we left.)
#2. I used to have an iron bladder, but now I can't drink anything without having to pee 5 minutes later.
#3. If you're going to request to have the lights turned off then don't talk once they are.
#4. Filled my water bottle with V8 Splash & now everything is yellow. I'm going to write a very angry letter to Mr. V8 about this.
#5. Left my phone at Lindsay's house, yet I still managed to pack my phone charger.
#6. I hate it when Lindsay tells embarrassing stories about me. It makes me want to punch a baby in the throat.
#7. Been getting a lot of compliments on my Toms. Those 2 hours it took to sew the fabric on were totes worth it.
#8. Just fell in a bush without realizing I was falling. I should really lay off the s'mores.
#9. WHY DIDN'T WE HAVE A POPSICLE EATING CONTEST??? THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO AWESOME!!!
#10. It's so hard to believe that just a year ago I was a vegetarian. How did I survive without my daily serving of bacon??
