I don't like pep assemblies, they seem to always be centered around preps. The past week was a "Spirit Week" Monday was Career Day, Tuesday was.... 60s Day, Wednesday was Hawaiian Day, Thursday was... um, Sports Day, and today (Friday) was Color Wars (where 6th grade wears yellow, 7th wears blue, and 8th wears black and orange). I like Color Wars, cause you can just look around and see what grade someone is in. But, sadly, on color wars days, we have a pep assembly. It's also kinda cool how people are wearing the same color, but in different ways. I don't really like how some people temporarily dye their hair or put tons of face paint on. A lot of the people in my grade were/are
very spirited. classrooms were a sea of black and orange.
Mr. Rainey wasn't at school again today. And instead, we had Mr. Crum as a sub. During lunch, I "helped" Brittni find some cds for the pep assembly. I was surprised what cds our good PE teacher, Mr. Lawson, had. Metallica, I understand. And a few country cds too. But Linkin Park? Disturbed? And Evanescence, my most favorite band in the whole wide world? I was jumping up and down at the sight of the best cd ever. Evanescence music during a pep assembly. heh, turn on "Tourniquet" lol, no my fave song on that cd is "My Last Breath", I love that song. "Hello" is my second fave, it's so sad :(
Anyway, 5th period, right after lunch, we were supposed to do our constitution project, but people were goofing off sumwhat since most (i think) didn't have their partner. I didn't have my partner, Steph. But that's ok. It was alot quieter without her. I sat next to Skyler and Shequoia. They understand me, and in my assigned seat, there was no one near me, so I just decided to sit next to them, even though they were done. We talked and laughed, and yea, I did get some stuff done, so ha! Later, Mr. Crum carried around a roll of orange ribbon, then if someone wanted some of the ribbon, they'd cut off a length of it. I put mine around my leg, so did Skyler and Shequoia. By then, everyone was playing around with their ribbon(s). Bogue cut it up and taped it to his hat. As Shequoia and Skyler were explaining stuff to the sub (mostly about other people), particularly about Bogue and how he was kind of stupid, Bogue was having a little too much fun with the ribbon. He found that when he breathed, the ribbon could stick to his nostrils. He was laughing, and one of the 2 people i sat with, said that it was possible he could get even more stupid. Just then, I looked over at the guy with the hat, and the ribbon was over both nostrils as his mouth was open. He held it for quite a while.
Waiting for the person on the intercom to call our class to the gym, we all just stood around and talked. I noticed Frank (weird shaped head, unibrow, but
extremely funny) put his ribbon around his neck, then put his fuzzy dice (that said Go Panthers and were orange and black) on the necklace thing, so it was hanging over his chest. I also noticed that he was squeezing his fuzzy dice.
"Frank," I said. He didn't hear me, and continued to squeeze the dice. I started cracking up, slowly moving towards the floor, laughing so hard. I regained my strength, and stood up. "Frank," I said again as he continued what he was doing.
"What?"
"T-that looks wrong..." and I made squeezing motions with my hands. Then I had another fit of laughter.
He knew what I was talking about and moved the dice over the, er.... correct spot, and continued squeezing. The people around me were like, "Ewww," or started laughing. Me and Skyler barely stood up and Shequoia was looking at Frank weird. The next thing I knew, still cracking up, I watched Frank being chased by Shequoia and Skyler who wanted to squeeze his dice.
Frank came up to me (still squeezing) going, "How does this look perverted?" I was doubled over with laughter, and so was Colton. After that, he asked that to nearly everyone he came across. When he asked, he recieved glares, eww's, and yes's, especially on our way to the gym and waiting for the assembly to start.
First, was a basketball game. Our 8th grade girl team against "female" staff members. And I mean that, because most of our female teachers didn't want to do it, being too old, and 2 of the teachers pregnant. So we had 4 male teachers (5 if Rainey was there) dressed up as girls. Mr. Wallace, Mr. Cox, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Burnham. The teachers had made up fake names for the "girls" but kept the same last name. When they called Mr. Wallace's name, he flipped his hair back, it was so funny, he also had a purse. During the game, Mr. Wallace called a time out and he took out lipstick from his purse and started putting it on. Later, he did a free throw and was all wobbly and stuff, so Mr. Martin tried to hold him up but, he was still wobbly, so Mr. Martin went on all fours for Mr. Wallace to lean on. he looked like he was concentrating a lot before he shot. Then he took the shot, and it came back at him. It had a string attached to the ball and his hand, and the ball was like fake, and defalted and stuf. Mr. Wallace ran off to the other hoop and did like a lay-up, but, of course if didn't work.
Then later, there were games and stuff (I don't remember the order). There was a song writing game, where 3 people from each grade wrote a song (6th wrote about celery, 7th wrote about telephones, and 8th wrote about turtles). I thought the 7th grade should've won, cause it was indeed better than the others, but it was a tie between 7th and 8th (8th was terrible, honestly), I think that happened cause the songs were supposed to be at least 30 seconds long, and only 8th went past that, despite how better 7th was.
Another game, three people from each grade, then one was wrapped up in saran wrap, then that one person had to hop around this obstical course, I knew of course, 6th was going to win, because Chism, probably the shortest person you could ever meet, was the one to be wrapped up.
There was this sort of break. LouAnne and Bridget had earlier that day, begged Mr. Schlauch (an awesome teacher, had him last year) to go home and bring back a trap for the assembly. Mr. Schlauch (being who he was) said that since they disturbed his class and wanted him to run over to his house, they had to eat a sandwich that he made special. Now, they had to be blindfolded. LouAnne was struggling. She didn't want to do this. Someone (I think it was Jordin) held LouAnne's hand behind her. Mr. Schlauch had people smell the sanwich and stuff, so they would go up and you would hear "Ewww" from the speakers, and they would back away. Cara was funny. She like made a good ewww sound and covered her mouth. Of course, now the 2 girls had to eat it. They were both struggling, but LouAnne was doing really good trying to get out of the other girl's grasps. Of course, the sandwich turned out to just be peanut butter and jelly sandwich with pretzels in them.
Another game which I rather enjoyed (watching), was the banana game. 3 people from each grade, and one had to put nylon over their heads. The other two had to put a banana THROUGH the nylon into the person's mouth. For eighth grade, we had, Phillip, Becky, and last, but
certainly not least, Kaitlyn! If that couldn't get better, Kaitlyn had to be the one with nylon over their head. LOL!!!! Becky put the banana "through" the nylon and Phillip, held the nylon, making Kaitlyn have her head slightly back. Oh and I mean by "through" cause they cheated. Me, being 2nd to the top row over to the opposite direction of where she was, and I could see it. You could tell, she was holding it up, and Becky was putting it straight into her mouth. Morgan and Amanda, who were sitting by me could see it, too. Then, 8th grade "won" 7th should've. Then Kaitlyn spit up the rest of the banana (Becky had dropped it on the floor before they even started)
OK, I can't remember anything else, so I'll leave you there. Oh, and I started writing this on Friday, and now it's like..... Monday...... I'm soooooooooooo lazy -_-;;;;;;;
