Apologizing again for the lack of updates, I will attempt to summarize what has been an epically amazing weekend filled with a lot of BN bonding. Here goes!
On Friday, after everyone got off work, we went to go see Transformers: Rise of the Fallen, which was really cool. Before we got to the movie, we stopped a
nd ate at Carolina Wings (at my suggestion). Of course, I ordered the wings and they were very scrumptious. We got to the movie around 8-ish. I liked the first one better, but the story was still good, and the *ahem* acting was good too. I was also endlessly entertained that Glenn Morshower, the actor that plays Aaron Pierce on 24, was in the movie as well. He wasn't just a lacky in the movie, he was taking command! WOO! Oh, and I forgot to mention that on the way to the movie, the other car (containing Brandon, John Luttrell, John Deans, and Noelle) stopped at Krispy Kreme and ordered a dozen glazed doughnuts - more than half were gone by the time we got to the theater, which was less than 5 minutes away from Krispy Kreme. The hot doughnuts sign w
as on, so that's why they had to stop - perfectly understandable. Anywho, we came home and just chilled until the next day.On Saturday, we got up and went to visit Benton Wise's farm! First, Benton took us and let us ride his horse Cherokee bareback - it was so thrilling! We mostly were just led around by Benton, but it was really exciting (although diffic
ult to balance). After that, we shot rifles and shotguns at skeet targets - my first time ever shooting a gun! I shot a 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun, or something like that. I felt extremely manly completing this task, although I didn't actually hit anything. Oh well, maybe next time. Benton's family served us a delicious southern lunch, complete with sweet tea- I approved. After that, we headed out with some of the Cheraw folks (Alex Cortese, Nancy, Ross, and Maria) on a canoeing trip with Dr. Demarco. We ended up canoeing about 10 miles of the Little Pee Dee River. Ross and I were in a two-person canoe together, and although there were several attempts at tipping people over, everyone managed to stay relatively dry - until we got out and swam of course. At the end of the canoeing, we were received by a hot dog barbeque courtesy of the Methodist Church. After eating, we played Big Booty with Dr. Demarco and the pastor of the Church - priceless. Ok, so the pastor just watched; it was still fun though =] When we got back to the house, Ben came over and we watched Aladdin. About halfway through, though, we were getting hungry, so we all piled into the Rav (with Khadijah in the trunk) and drove off to Mcdonalds - bare in mind that I was still wearing my Wii Pajama Pants, which were bright, bright blue. Mcdonalds's shake machine was broken, so that meant no ice cream. Instead, Wendy's was the destination, and we hung out and ate there for a while. When we got back to the house, John Luttrell suggested that we all watch 'V for Vendetta'; I really enjoyed its alliteration, vocabulary, and wittiness. It's definitely a thinking person's movie. Check it out if you haven't already!On Sunday, we spent the day at Myrtle Beach - we all came prepared with swiffer mop handles and small umbrellas (which we fashioned into beach umbrellas with duct tape), a cooler, and chairs that weren't re
ally meant to be beach chairs but that did the job nonetheless. We all were quite a sight to behold at North Myrtle. We swam, took crazy 'jump shot' pictures, tried to spell 'Duke' with our bodies (which I failed at doing because I can't make a K very well, ahhahah), read, and had deep talks about our plans for the future. We also interrogated Alice, which is always fun :) After the beach, we stopped and ate at Hooters. Yes, the wings are, in fact, very good! The atmosphere was nice as well. We finally got back to the house (although about 10 minutes behind Noelle and her 9000000-mile-per-hour driving) and just chilled for the rest of the night, uploading all the photos from the day. And tomorrow.. BACK TO WORK!
