Warts:

I have had some warts on one of my ankles and today i had the joy of getting them frozen off. Yeah i was terrified. I knew sort of what to expect but that did not make my anxiety about it any better. What i learned form this experience: getting them frozen off hurts and they don't just fall off right after they have to scab over and then fall off a couple days later so my hopes of having sexy, wart free legs again was a bust and now i am required to have more patience. Also what i have learned from today's wart extravaganza is that you never realize how much you use or touch a certain part of your body until there is pain or discomfort there. Since i have gotten this done mere hours ago i have already hit one of them and made it bleed and have bumped them many other times as well. NO FUN!
Why am i telling you this? It was a traumatic experience that i was freaking out about but had to suck it up and face it. That's life for ya.

It's Back!

MY CAMERA!!!!!
yep thats right the camera is back which means there there will no longer be anymore photo-less posts! yippy! so to kick off this camera extravaganza here is my photo scavenger hunt triple date.
The Story/Plan:
Cami, Kelly and I (aka me and my roommates) decided to all ask some guy friends out on a fun date. so we planned the date and decided to do a scavenger hunt from Laie to Kaneohe (its about a 40 min drive). Each of us and our dates would be in separate cars and we would have a list to take pictures of. A special shout out goes to Kylie and Ariel for making the scavenger hunt for us. since we are so competitive we had them make it so we wouldnt know what was on the list and try and plan things out. hahah yeah we are that competitive. so we picked up our dates at 5:30 and had to be at Bostons pizza by 7:00 (cell phone time, so our times were synchronized).
My Date:
Chris Ivie from Boston.
The List:


Putting Flowers on a Grave

The Word Aloha

A double whammy: An interesting car (for those who don't know: that's my roommates incredibly beat up and run down truck) and the male date in a skirt.

Another Double Whammy: A random Asian giving the peace sign and some Mormon missionaries.

Jumping and Doing a 360 at a red light
Walking through a Drive Through


A Sunset (it was cloudy so we had to make due).
A homeless man (the guy in the hat in the back)

With mustaches


The female date with a button up shirt and tie on

A Porta-Potty


A pyramid... we had to be creative so the mannequin is our third person!

someone with longer hair that you or your dates: her hair is in a ponytail so it is longer than mine.
A stranger with Facial Hair: the guy in the background has some

By a road sign. and yes this is an actual and real Stop Sign... just blue


COWS!
A door knob

A tourist in Hawaiian Apparel (this one didn't count :( )

one of us being a street performer asking for money. I was doing the little teapot song.

Giving a worker at Hot Dog on a Stick a high-5

The man picking out a wedding ring. hahahha


Things we missed on the list:
A pregnant woman
Holding a live baby
and a smashed toad.

The Results:
We lost by one to Cami and her date Matt. :( Kelly and her date, Christian, took last place gracefully because they were the least competitive of the group....

Dinner:
we went and had pizza at a place called boston's pizza which was really good and just shared our stories and pictures while laughing and trying to eat pizza. Yeah we didnt quite think this part thorugh very well because im sure we were not impressing our dates with pizza faces, full mouths and laughing. But oh well.

The Afterwards:
we decided to run to Jamba Juice for desert where we found a group of people outside in the courtyard area having a bible study lesson thing... so being the ambitious and daring person i am i dared the other people in my group, since 4 out of the 6 of us were returned missionaries, to go up and talk to them about the gospel. So we went outside and the boys went up and started talking to them and they invited us to sit in with them and listen..... the listening part was a little blurred because we wanted to teach them too so we started offering other biblical scriptures and putting in our two cents. Everything was fine until someone (not my date) decided to give a Book of Mormon scripture and that didn't go over too well. after that it was a lot more listening. But it was another introduction the the church so maybe we were helping them in the future.

OVERALL:
It was a great date and we had a blast and are now going to plan more of these roommate dates more often.
