"I'm scoopin' up my baby bumblebee... Won't my mommy be so proud of me!"

No, that is not an Ayu song.

For those who don't know, I was at a Key Club event (KC Weekend) in Ashley, Ohio over the weekend. It was... an experience. That's about as well as I can sum it up in a sentence. Here's the longer - but still brief - version:

Friday
- got out of school at 9 (during Lyceum)
- arrived at Kiwanis International at 10
- left Indy in one of two vans (I sat beside Janice... :P)
- realized in the middle of our journey that I had brought shorts, but hadn't brought any shoes other than my boots
- refused Janice's offer to use her credit card to buy me extra shoes
- 2-hour District meeting while in the two vans via walkie-talkie; VERY heated debates
- arrived at Recreation Unlimited around 3 in the afternoon
- was pelted with hail as Janice ran around, laughing and screaming in joy
- tornado was spotted nearby; hid with the rest of the Indy Key Clubbers in a storage closet filled with dishes and Capri Suns; while in hiding I quizzed Janice with her Interdisc flashcards
- power went out
- improvised and said, "HEY! We have chairs, people, a piano, and Janice. Why not play musical chairs?"
- lost dreadfully at musical chairs
- ate dinner
- power came back on
- opening session; was lectured on people's behaviors and how to improve my character; formed teams (I was in the "B Sharps," Janice was part of "The Awesomer-est" group)
- went to bed at 12:30

Saturday
- got up at 6 (7 their time)
- got in the shower
- power went out again
- took shower in the dark
- found another Indy Key Clubber with an extra pair of shoes IN MY SIZE!
- cut myself shaving with my crappy razor so that I could wear the shorts :(
- went on the challenge course (best part of the trip!)
- nicknamed Steph "Treehugger"
- Bar-B-Q dinner (blech!)
- watched Janice play on the kiddie playground; joined in
- evening session; made the "perfect community" - my group did "Athens" and had Japanese stick people shaking hands (with English subtitles, of course!)
- walked 10 minutes to a campfire by the lake just to sit for 20 minutes, talk, and come back before curfew
- went to bed at 1 in the morning because of an impromptu Indiana District meeting at midnight

Sunday
- breakfast
- packed
- ending session
- left Ohio
- another hour-long meeting via walkie-talkie
- stopped at KFC on the way home, Janice and I bought the $19.99 Picnic Meal (large bucket of chicken, three large sides, six biscuits, and a 1/2 gallon drink, which Janice didn't want and gave to me) and shared it; got strange glances from other customers
- District meeting/debate in KFC
- spilled half the drink on my lap an hour and a half away from Indy; sat there soaked
- drove home

And that was my weekend. Think of if I had not put everything in a bulleted list!
