Day Two of Several Yet to Come

So here we are at day two of our college experience at Snow. So far none of us have killed each other or clumsied ourselves into an early grave. (Ha ha ha! Rachel! XD)

We haven't started classes yet, that's tomorrow, but we have been attending a program referred to here as Smart-Start (aka Let-Us-Please-Bore-You-To-Death-And-Treat-You-Like-Pre-Schoolers-While-We-Tell-You-Things-You-Already-Know-Or-Could-Otherwise-Find-Out-In-Ways-Ten-Times-Less-Time-Consuming-Then-This) I will admit, we did get two free lunches and a free dinner out of the whole deal (which you figure out pretty fast that the word "FREE" is your best friend), but other than that, the whole thing was pretty much pointless and a major waste of time. Afterwards, Me, Ariel, Rachel, Luigi, and our newest friend/awesome fourth roomie, Trishelle, decided to just hang at our apartment and played a few rousing games of Go Fish and Spoons to try and get our minds of the day's...severe lack of interest XP.

I'll try and post some pics of the arpartment later, but in the mean time, here's some other pics!

Here is the fabulous Trishelle! Like afor mentioned, she is made of complete WIN! :D

My beloved action figures littered across my dresser! x3

Since Rachel wouldn't let me draw on the real one! XD I figured since I have to wake up to him on my wall everyday, I have the right to poke fun at him every once in a while. Thank goodness for photoshop and cameras!

Also, on a more happy note, that night the SSP (Smart-Start Program) hosted an illusionist show performed by Mike Super, who was apparently the winner on some TV show called Phenomenon, which was kind of like an American Idol for magicians and it was hosted by Chris Angel...Yeah, I'd never heard of it, but decided (decided as in was dragged by Rachel, Ariel, and Trishelle) to go and Luigi follows suit cause there was nothing else better for him to do. So me and Luigi get there with them and we're both just kind of like, "Oh man this guy better be good and not just some retard who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips" right? Well, SHA-BAM! He ends up being this amazingly spectacular illusiounist! I can definately see why he was the winner! He not only pulled off some amazing stunts (which is to be expected based on his career choice) but he was pretty dang good comedian as well! His humor was a bit of a cross between Dane Cook and Jeff Dunham. He had alot of Dane's mannerisms and he'd pull some crude dirty jokes here and there but always come back with the sincerity that you seen in Jeff.

Anyways, well as in most magician shows, the magician always has to pull someone from the crowd to help him with a trick, right? And it just so happened he was looking for a male volunteer...all four of us glanced down at Luigi...and being the totally obnoxious little brats we are, jumped up and started screaming and hollering and pointing at him so that he'd get picked...our efforts produced!!! Mike Super came over and picked Luigi!!! XD With one final look of contempt back at the four innocent angels with crooked halos he called his friends, he made his way up to the stage.

And Rikki, I gotta tell ya, you have one amazing boyfriend. Once Luigi got up on stage, Mike stood there and flattered him and told him that he must be a total ladies man which led up to him asking Luigi if he was single or taken. Luigi stood proudly and announced to the entire audience that he was happily taken, and a huge disappointed whine come from about thirty girls. It doesn't get much more faithful then that babe!

So yeah, Luigi was part of one of those tricks where you have to pick a card (which was really ironic cause we had just got back from Wal-Mart an hour previous and bought some face cards XD) and the magician has to find your card, anyways, Mike went on this whole spcheel about "Psychic Powers" and "Being able to read Luigi's Mind" yadda yadda. So Luigi picks his card and Mike tells him to hold it facing away so he (He being Mike) can't see. So then Mike stands about five feet away from him and gets out this big sketch pad and is all like "Okay, so I'm going totally read you mind and then draw your card on this piece of paper." Well, okay that's kinda cool but can he pull it off? So he starts doodling it then amazingly presents the he's drawn...yeah...it was the wrong card XD...so he sits there and pulls the whole "Oh no! This shouldn't have happened, my career is kover, but wait I'll improv and see if I can make this work still!" act. So he says, "Well, this drawing actually isn't a completed picture! There's more! It's actually an animation!" So he adds a few more lines and makes it look like a 3-D deck of cards...oookay? So?....but there's apparently more!...so he flips the paper over to the next one behind it and it's the same deck only there is a card coming out of it...weird...then he flips the paper again...and the same card is pulled out more and it's Luigi's card!!! It was pretty freaking cool!! He even tore out the page and gave the drawing to Luigi as a souvenier! Awesome!

So yeah, we enjoyed the rest of the show and afterwards Luigi comes up to me and is all "I wonder if there is anyway we can get this drawing signed?!"...WHY NOT!?!?! 8D So me and him go looking around trying to find someone who could direct us to where Mike might have gone to after the show but sadly we had no such luck...but then, Trishelle, being the amazing-awesome person she is, shows us to some doors that lead towards where the back stage doors are located, but there was a sign that said "Authorized Personal Only"....We were all a little hesitant at first, but Luigi and I really wanted to get that picture signed! So I was like "Screw it! Let's go!" So we blast through the doors and start searching for him, it took a few minutes but WE FOUND HIM!!! He was more than happy to sign it for us, and hysterically enough, he thought i was Luigi's girlfriend, which I quickly came back with a definate "Oh No! I'm just friends with him and his girlfriend!" I know he's yours Rikki ;) He was very genuine and very courteous while talking to us which was amazing to me, cause I pegged him to one of those guys who lets the fame get there heads, which I really reget now cause he was even kind enough to get a picture of me, him and Luigi on my phone! (I'll upload it later) So yeah, it was a very exciting night! One we won't soon forget! :D
