ORCH TRIP '05 PICTURES!
this has got to be the best weekend ever. i originally took 208 pictures.. but i reduced it down to about 140 or so... what a trip... so band and choir left this morning so some of ya'll wont see any of this till sunday night. but this is what we were doing one week ago. such a shame it ended so soon.
ok i tried the pictures in their original size and they were so large that it took me about 10 minutes to load HALF of it and it froze my computer, so i've decided to make the pictures smaller. a lot smaller. yeah u can't really see much but, at least it's something :-\

hahaha i love amanda.
connie, nicole, and paula.

jennie, lina, erin, jonathan, crystal, connie, and nicole... eatin lunch together.
"hey jennie--how's the food?"
keith chugging down tobasco sause.
hmm... tell me, why is catherine hitting james?
meeeeeeee
john and keith racing to see who can eat the most sugar packets. keith was gagging on sugar... john won.
after the meal
"that's what you get for calling me a whore!"
group shot!
...presenting... the one... the only... luby's.
then we practiced some 1337 karate moves.
james = pimp?
nah.
we arrive at our hotel hilton. circa 4:00
colby in the hotel rooooooooom... arguing about who sleeps where.
they put all the guys on the 4th floor and all the girls on the 8th and 9th... that's insane. but rachel and ally and haylie snuck into our rooms anyway. not like they really care. at least they didn't tape our doors.
i claimed this bed as miiiiine.
so then off we went to spagetti warehouse to have us a little dinner...
i sat with james, colby, rachel, and crystal, michelle, huong, etc...
colby went around going "who wants to eat my sausage?"
course, stephen was happy enough to take that offer.
and while michelle was in the bathroom, we decided to spice her drink up a little.
stupid colby drank it instead. haha.
i sat next to my dear crystallll
across from jenniiiiifeerrrrr.
so then keith is like "what the hell are you doing john?"
the next day was stephanie's birthday... so they rounded everyone up and we all sang her and mr gober happy birthday at the restaurant.
then john got like diarrhea or something and got really sick--actually, everyone got sick from the food.
erin pied stephanie with the cake and they started a little cake fight. sound familiar, people?
dont know what anna and josie are laughing about but marty sure had no clue either.
michelle, huong, and tina
 
amanda: "oh my god, dustin, you look so scary!"
rachel: "that's so nice of you to say that amanda!"
amanda: "hey... do the little croak thing they do in the grudge!"
i then totally pwned colby and jonathan at poker that night. so, i won a claim in my own bed while jonathan slept in another and colby slept on the ground. hahaha suckerrrr.
Saturday, April 9th, 2005
god we had to wake up so effin earlyy. everyone got up at 5:30 but jonathan--the dumbass got up and left without even bothering to wake me and colby up, so we got up at 6:40 and had 20 effin minutes to change in our tuxedos before we all met on the bus. no breakfast for us, thanks to jonathan. the fucker. and i didn't bring my cam for our concert, but we did goooood.
six flagsssssssssss!
rachel attacked me with the camera.
john welkener too... she then started videotaping our asses. what a naughty little girl.
saumya, ronak, and our chaperone.
it took me the longest time to persuade rachel to ride boomerang with me. she freaked. she was screaming even BEFORE we were even on the ride! when the thing pulled up to the gate and we were next, she started screaming and i had to pull her in.
and when the thing was clicking up,she was squeezing my hand tightly and cursing at me. lol it was so funny.
we then spotted ally and some others riding the twirler thing so we stopped and recorded.
"oh my god, get me off of this right now!"
i love this picture. you can see everyone's reaction. effin hilarious.
so then we decide to ride it too. little did we know, the restraints that push you down push down really really tight onto your pelvic bone and it really hurts--at least for guys.
i mean--look at saumya's reaction.
i think colby liked it a little too much...
"saumya! are you recording this?"
"oh my god.. i can't breathe... my effin balls can't breathe."
whoosh.
 
rachel didn't want to ride that... she was like "fuck no!"
 
we were in line for the superman: krypton coaster and rachel told me she woudl ride it with me but then she had a panic attack and ran away to watch us instead :( so did ronak... that wimp. but rachel made it up to me later by riding poltergeist with me :)
but SUPERMAN WAS FUN!
everyone was too affraid to ride the rattler... so i ended up riding it with only colby, john, saumya, and justin. tisk tisk, it's a lotta fun. it's like the texas giant--minus the pain and bruises. :)
crystal's favorite coaster... haha. "issa widdle bumblebee :)"
compared to my favorite :)
 
so then we stopped and got a few drinks...
crystal met up with us...
she actually got in line to ride the poltergeist with us. it's like their version of mr freeze. it shoots out out of this long tunnel really really fast. i loved it.
but, while in line, rachel would not shut up. one thing i learned about this girl was that when she's nervous she doesn't ever shut up. during the line to poltergeist she was talking nonstop the whole time.
it was so funny though cuz she is deathly afraid of drops and right when we were strapped in i was like "oh yeah, theres a drop here... it's like the titan... no biggie." and she freaked! she had complete fear in her eyes and she was like "oh my fucking god dustin are u shittin me?" until i told her i was joking. haha it was too funny.
it was an accident... i swear!
...no wonder he's smiling.
then we (john, rachel, justin, saumya, and ronak) rode the log ride. omg this was the best ride ever. there was almost no line so we rode it four times in a row. we all posed on the drop down and i bought one of those pictures... it was sooo fun. but we got SOOO SOAKED!
we showed up at the awards assembly looking like that.
met up with crystal at the awards assembly.
colby jammin to Y-M-C-A... haha that was so much fun.
saumya--we were all fuckin soaked from that log ride. my pants were a complete different color and i was chafing.
w00t w00t!
hahahahaha... anthony was ass-bumpin with that ball... it was soo wrong.
ally and haylie---what a cute lesbian couple.
there were a total of 29 schools there...
...don't ask.
...don't ask how it ended up on james either
...waiting for awards.
one person from each orch/whatever was up there to represent their school. james was for williams.
"hahahha look at mr planks!"
oooh... waterfall...
after the assembly... it was soo crowded rachel, anthony and i got lost... we couldn't find williams and we shifted through the crowds for at least an hour before we found everyone else. damn there were a lotta people.
 
(this is all in nightshot)
 
wow.. we look freaky in nightvision.
back on the bus again.
"are you still wet?"
"yeah!"
"since it's so late and it's a saturday night, the riverwalk is gonna be insane--so we're going to have to cancel it. however, we're going to go back to the hotel, we'll order a lot of pizza, and i'll extend ur curfews from 10:30 to midnight."
i think it was a fair trade :)
"look what i won!"
 
...john's a dumbass.
holy shit that picture scared the fuck outta me. he looks like toshio--the little boy from the grudge.
once we got back to the hotel... HOT TUB PARTY!
 
connie and erin bathing with me.
ally and whitney huddling for warmth. damn it was so cold, so everyone was fighting for a spot in the hot tub.
...i look so different in nightvision.

...a very sad day for us all :( i didn't want to sleep at all on saturday night so i kept throwing stuff and jonathan and colby and not letting them go to sleep. jonathan ended up locking himself in the bathroom and falling asleep in the TUB for two hours---with our wet swimsuits dripping on his face. and i couldn't take my contacts out so i was banging on the backthroom door till 5am when jonathan finally came back out.
we ended up sleeping at 5:30. and waking up at 8. oh yeah, and i pwned both of them again at poker. 
after packing and breakfast, we got on the bus, and began our sad journey home :(
me and jennie.

jennie rode that steamroller goood.

haylie looks tired.
"ally... act like ur looking at the clothes... no make it look more realistic--no ur doing it wrong"
rachel and i pwned at ddr
"is this working?"
"what the fu--i want my money back!"
"eh... this song--no wait--that one!.. nah, i don't like that one..."

"...bleh"

"i had an awesome time on the log ride"
