#32 - Have A Quadruple Sleepover


Yep you read that right. Quadruple..as in four. As in Rachel and I together for over 96 hours (which really isn't anything new but still). In the past our record has been a triple sleepover, but nothing ever this crazy. We predicted that we'd be sick of each other by the end and we couldn't have been more wrong. Hah time flew by, and it didn't even feel like we'd been living together for the past 4 days. We alternated - my house, her house, etc. so that we wouldn't get cabin fever. :P

Saturday: Splatter painted shoes. Cruised around creeping on people. Drank ICEE's - it's like my life source. Played a joke/prank whatever on our youth leader because that's just what we do. Went on the swings at a park and discussed the wonders of love. :P

Sunday: Drank Cherry Limeade Sparklers from Taco Bell (those things are THE BEST). Shopped at Kohl's since it was tax-free weekend. Rachel got the best deal ever because of my sister's ridiculous amount of coupons - a perfume set that was usually 30-something dollars, she got for 55 cents..hahah the cashier looked so angry. Watched the movie Kick-Ass which was BRILLIANT. I really want to watch it again because it is that good.

Monday: Went to the Science Museum in Raleigh..yeah, yeah laugh all you want but at least we'll admit that we're proud nerds. Watched the stupid movie Role Models...however a guy from Kick-Ass was in it which made it tolerable! Did some major prank calling - hahah except everyone immediately knew that it was Rachel. :) Did facials, painted our nails, and hair treatments.

Tuesday: Feasted on Oreos, Rootbeer, and Freeze Pops! - aka Fla-Vor-Ice. Washed my VW bug, my dad's van, and Rachel's mom's minivan...we plan on starting a business so that we can get filthy rich. Watched an amazing, inspiring movie called To Save A Life that you have to go see right now.

There was stuff in between but I'll leave that up to your imagination. I could go on and on boring everyone to death with all the little details of our quadrupleness.

#13 - Splatter Paint




Rachel and I have been wanting to splatter paint something for a looooong time now. And finally we made it happen! :) Over the weekend (since it was tax-free!) we bought canvas shoes for seven bucks at Target and then proceeded on setting up in my driveway. We took out my stash of paints that I took from art class - yep, my teacher just handed them over to me at the end of school - and covered the ground in newspaper.
Then, because I couldn't find a single paintbrush anywhere in my house, we had to use these weird thin wooden craft stick things instead. Note of advice: don't use weird thin wooden craft stick things; they look like they'd work but they do not. Instead, you'll just wind up with more paint on your body than on your artwork.

So anywho, we plugged in my iPod speakers, started blasting music for the whole neighborhood to jam out to with us, and began splattering away. Rachel's shoes were the black ones (left) and mine were the white (right). They actually turned out a lot better than they look in the picture. My friend said they even looked like they were bought at a store. Hah it was awesome! I am definitely going to be splatter painting more in the near future - if only I had some things that needed a new paint job. Hmm...my car perhaps? Bedroom walls? NOT my body. Dude, we were covered in paint for the rest of the day and day after. Which by the way was a Sunday. Yeah...my dad wasn't too happy to see me leaving for church with blue and red paint all over my legs. :P
