The secret!

So the secret is a HUGE post about everything that's happened over the past 2 weeks. So here it goes. This will be full of words and pictures. :-D To start with is my acting camp. It was from 6th to the 16th of this month. Day 1 we played games and did the auditions. Day 2 more games and working on the read through. Day 3 we finished the read through. Day 4 we started blocking. Day 5 we went through it all the way. Day 6 we started on the details and got our shirts. Day 7 more practice and games. Sometime during the day Liam said "Trash away buy it today!" Like a cheesy commercial. It was funny. Day 8 We really had to work on projection other than that I think that was the day I almost won ninja. Day 9. Performance. It was awesome! Everything went smoothly except there was one part where Clare cut off my line but oh well it wasn't a nessisary line. Everyday we played tons of games such as Ninja and Party Quirks. Ninja was the best because the guy who thought he'd do terrible almost won. Then on day 6 we played Zip Zap Zop again and Will won! It was great cuz Kyle #2 never lost a game before. Kyle #1 was working with the high school camp. To explain the games Ninja is where you go around the circle doing only one motion at a time trying to slap other peoples hands but they can move when you attack. After you stop moving you have to freeze like that until it's your turn again. Party quirks I can't really discribe so just go to YouTube and look up "Who's line is it anyway party quirks". Another game we played was duster. In it you chose one person to be the duster. Everyone else lays down on the ground and has to group up around the duster while the duster moves around dusting everyone. The trick is not letting the duster see you move. If seen you must lay back down. In Zip Zap Zop the goal is to 'shoot' people in the circle saying "Zip" "Zap" and "Zop" in that order. If you say the wrong one or hesitate then your out. The game we played most was Crazy Animals. In it you have one person in the middle of the circle and someone will say for example "Horse loves dog" and whoever's in the middle has to tag dog. However if dog says "Dog loves cat" then they are safe and the person in the middle goes after cat and so on. One more note about that subject is while Kyle #2 is the master (almost) of playing games Leland has the best shirts. He has a green one that says in white letters "The game master". The easiest way for me to get to the camp because it's at Lee is for me to go work with my dad in the mornings. So I'd wake up at 5:45 everyday and go to work with him. Everyday when we leave on the bike I get the urge to say "allons-y". Normally we would go to The Rebel which I loved cuz I only go there like once a year. That's when it happened. I killed a toothpick and was deemed the toothpick murderer! The first day after camp while I was with dad he had Drew with him (One of the student workers for the electrical dept.) and we were doing something in the Conn center. While looking for a breaker panel we found a HUGE pile of volleyballs, footballs, basketballs and soccer balls. I'm not joking this pile was massive! Anyway we found the panel and went back to the room we had been in (which was a womens restroom) and finished whatever they were doing. All I know is that they installed a diagonal outlet above the ceiling. It seems pointless to do that cuz it looks cool! But I'm sure it had to do with what they were doin'. For so long dad used a golf cart then he got a mule to use at work and I didn't really notice a difference...until now. I rode on a golf cart and was thinking "WOW THIS THING IS SLOW!" So I now know that mules are way better than golf carts. So my dad's office really reminds me of Wall-e's truck. I mean he's got so many little things that to most people would be completely useless unorganized junk. But to me I understand it and it seems completely normal. Just like Wall-e's truck is to him. Tuesday was PT night and I went to CAP and did almost everything. The only thing I didn't do was the sit and reach. The reason I didn't do that is because at about 10:45am that day I tripped and skinned my knee. Then I was running almost immediately after doing so. I skinned by right knee again now to most that's normal but I only skin my right knee. I haven't skinned my left one since I was 5. I think it was Thursday that we had problems with the bike's battery died. So we got a new one and left the bike in the shop (the shop my dad works in not like pepboys or something) and took one of Lee's jeeps home since we needed to get Dave home from camp that day anyway. So while we were in the shop getting the new battery in it some little boy said he wants my dad's bike but his mom said he can't get one until she has one first. I thought that was funny. So did my dad, Jeff and Drew. One the way home one day I saw a statue sitting on a tree stump. No problem right? Well when it's a weeping angel yea it's a problem. Those things are EVIL! I also saw a sphinx. That's just a weird thing to see in Tennessee... but oh well. On Friday it was just me and my dad most of the day and we had to go check a smoke detector because it wasn't working right. Well that was pretty normal however getting there was not. We had to go behind the library, down two sets of stairs, through the HUGEST mechanical room I've ever seen (That's saying somethin' cause I've seen some really big ones) then through a locked door with another locked door 6 inches in front of it then through a hallway and turned left to get through another locked door into the room we needed to be in. Despite being so busy with all this stuff I've still managed to finish all my books a got not long ago but it took longer than I expected. Saturday was my dad's birthday party and after it Alea came over to my house and we went to a park with my parents. There were tons of deer just roaming all over the park. While with my dad over that time I discovered some things like automatic sinks use double A batteries. I was so shocked when I found that out! The second day of camp I think while I was in the shop Drew and John were there talking about the word "exacerbate". It means basically to annoy. It's really hard for me to say! In fact I don't think I've ever said it successfully. It's a really fun word tho! I found the strangest thing in a mule ever! Most people won't think a fisher price wire stripper toy is that weird but one a mule? At the shop at Lee? That's just weird. One last thing to mention before I move on past everything at Lee. It was the end of the day and I was waiting outside by the bike ready to go but dad was doing something inside. So I'm just standing there and the garage door is open so Drew walks outside to try to get one of the trucks in but ones he's in and starts to back it out of the parking space my dad comes out and closes the garage door not knowing that Drew was there trying to pull in the truck. I watched dad walk over to the button and press it then I looked over at Drew who was looking at me and we were both laughing and it was funny. Then after all that the truck won't fit in the garage. Tuesday I did something I've never done before. I WON A DRILL DOWN! It was rather bittersweet cuz I only won cuz of time running out so three other people won as well but oh well. I had a thought later that day or the next day I'm not sure but I think it would be so cool to paint my bedroom walls black then put up some black lights and buy neon PJs. That would look so cool! The last thing to say is Monday night when I got home I turned on my radio as always. However all day I had the Luke Bryan song "Is someone else callin' you baby" stuck in my head. When I turned on my radio that's the song they are playing on US 101. It freaked me out!

Now for the pics:


 We had the windows down and our hair got messy...er
