Bruises

"I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you.

I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do handstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you but everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you-ooh-ooh-ooh

I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue

Got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue for you"

When I first heard this song I thought it was catchy. After I listened to the words I thought it was a cleve little love song. As I think of this song now it explains my weekends. =)

 As most people know, I like to hang out with guys. Not because I 'like" them but because they are just more fun. My favoite group to hang out with is, James (he thinks he's inlove with me), Drew (the spontanious prankster), Caleb (my favorite person in the world), and sometimes Josh (the wrestler) tags along. You can tell when I am  going to hang with "the guys". I'll throw on some jeans and a t-shirt and my hat and go. These guys bring out the fun in anyone. We've had many adventures together. They've taken me paintballling and four-wheeling. They've tried to teach me how to do flips. Everytime I've come home from hanging out with them, I've been dirty. You can always expect the unexpected with these guys.

Anyways, let me get to the point. Since I've been friends with them I've had many bruises, scratches, and other painful things. There is nothing I love more than being "one of the guys". It is exquisit. I think the first random thing I did with them was go down under Jame's house to do something, I can't even remember, but we got super dusty.=)

One time we went paintballing and I decided to be the white rabbit (which means you run out unarmed into the open field and let everyone shoot at you) and it was all fun in games until I realized how good they could aim. Then I realized how dumb I was. Never again have I been the white rabbit. =)

When we went to Knott's Berry farm, Drew was playing with a little hook thing and just as he went to hook my nose I turnned and it totally ripped my nostril, it hurt so bad. Also Drew loves to grab my calf muscles and squeeze them super hard. I hate that. I think he does it to remind me that I'm a wuss. One time I had a bruise from that for 2 weeks.

James and I were four-wheeling once and he was promising me how he'd never wreck with me on and blah blah blah, and right after he said that we like rolled down a hill. =) It was funny. They also make me go cliff jumping and we've even played mud football.

My most unfavorite thing they do is try and put me under the love sack at Drew's. I am super clostrophobic and they know that. So they always say, "It's a mental thing get over it." I know they're right but when you're scared of something, you just are. Much of my pain has come from trying tostay above the love sack. They've only gotten me under twice, which is really good compared to how much they've tried. One time Caleb was just holding me and the other time Drew was. I was freaking out.

They always do crazy stuff that hurts me but I just man up. But Nothing compares to this weekend. James Drew Josh and I went four-wheeling and Josh let me drive. I was going super fast and clibing things and all that jazz. I grew very confident and I tried to go off this legde. We ended up fliping and rolling for a log time. We came out all right. I'm just super sore and scratched a little bit. Now that I think about it, it could've been fatal if Josh hadn't saved me.

You may ask, "Why do you put yourself through all that?" The answer is because I love them. =) They have produced more fun for me than I could've ever imagined. I love not knowing what we're going to do when I go out to Drew's house. It's always a blast. Yeah sure I get a bruise here and there every now and again, but I'm alright. Yeah I've got bruises on my knees for you guys, wholes in my new jeans, but every little thing was worth it. I thank them everyday for letting me be, "one of the guys". I will miss them tremendously!
