Carnival Fun

Ah, carnivals. The carnies and rides they bring. The food, the friends, the fun they induce! Our town had a little carnival this weekend, and surprisingly it was great. On account of the lack of money this place has, (as my friend Caroline texted me while exploring a fancy boarding school yesterday "our town is a step above poverty"), I was certainly not expecting the carnival to be all that exciting. Kudos to all the volunteers that made it happen! So I met up with a large group of friends and we went on almost every single ride Friday night. We even went to the nearby playground where I discovered I was still not tall enough to reach the monkey bars. How sad. Oh, and I must tell you about "The Sizzler". The Sizzler is a ride for insane people that like pain. You sit in a little compartment thing with one or two other people and it spins you round and round, but whenever you go around a corner, you slam into the person on your right. And if your on the right end, then you'll come off the ride with a large bruise on your hip. Painful as it may be, I went on it four times! Hahah =D. So that was all Friday, and I planned on staying in for the day on Saturday, maybe get a little homework done, who knows. Well that didn't happen. I kept getting texts from people asking me if I was going to see the fireworks that were going to be going off at the carnival. Eventually, I went over to Caroline W's where her, Caroline P, and I all hung out for a while making odd music videos until we left to return to the beloved carnival. We get there and ride a few rides before Caroline W's friends start yelling at her to get the playground right that very second or else. So the three of us sprint over there, pushing past crowds of people staring at the fireworks like they've never seen anything so amazing in their life, and who do we run into on the run over? Our little group from last night! In the end, it turned out to be just like Friday, the same people, the same rides, and just as much fun. Only I sprained my toe. Hahaha oh klutzy me. But whatever, the swelling has gone down a bit, and I'm able to hobble along. Although it didn't help when Joey, an extremely tall friend of mine who towers over my by a good foot and a half, stepped on the same toe. Ouuuchh!

UPDATE: I ended up breaking my toe. I blame Joey...
