Rock Band

This is an account of the wierdest 24 hour period of my life.
So there is this video game called Rock Band that a lot of people that I know are really good at. If you know what Guitar Hero is, its very similar to that, only this version includes not only guitar but bass, drums, and singing. Well my friend Scott heard about a Rock Band tournament in Goldsboro, near his hometown. Well Scott is amazing at bass and he has a friend who is really good at guitar, our friend Nathan Snell is amazing at drums, and Nathan Storey is awesome at singing. (Yes there are 2 Nathans in this story. Let me help you out by saying if I am referring to Nathan Snell, I will use his full name. If I'm referring to Nathan Storey, I'll just say Nathan. Got it?) So anyway, they entered the tournament which was held at a video game conference and the girls decided to go as well to be their cheering section. So all of us caravaned up to Scott's house Friday night, spent the night, and then went to the competition the next day.

We made signs


Chillin' at Scott's house (yes they bought rediculous stuff to wear for the competition, note plaid hat and white sweatband)




Scott and Alicia in line the next day waiting for the tournament to start
still waiting. judging by our faces you can definately tell we are all enthralled in what whoever is speaking to us has to say haha


this is what we call a game face (also notice a fraction of the line of nerds in the background)


our band in their spectacular outfits, preparing to rock.




the kids of the guy hosting it wanted to play so stacy sung with them

nathan and i at the gas station, our last pit stop before rolling out. (btw, kathy larson saw this picture and knew exactly which gas station it was because its her hometown and the town is that small)

rollin' out with our caravan of black vehicles

jan 21- my birthday


i went to a hockey game. here are jordan, cameron and i with the zamboni man


i went over to my friend rachel's house one night for a movie night and cameron covers my eyes to shield me from something inappropriate (i realize this isn't really an exciting update consiedering things like this happen all the time, i just think this picture is funny)

my shoulder blade kind of popped out of my back, this has yet to be resolved (you can't really see how far out it is in this picture)

carmen and eddie came up for my birthday. this is us at the homecoming game that was also that weekend. yes they are both wearing teal

my friend peyton was on homecoming court and was escorted by my friend felts, she got second runner up!

ok now the good part, my birthday party:

me at the party...


so last year kristy(another one of the birthday girls) was in this huge dance competition and the way they select the participants is by area of campus, so there are people from all the different housing locations on campus. well her and one other guy were the only ones that came for her building and kristy beat out that guy for the spot. he showed up at our party and started break dancing... i guess to prove something. anyway him and kristy ended up having a dance battle and everyone still liked her more so he went home. yes all of that really happened


the 3 birthday girls and our cakes presented by my roomates



here are a bunch of different angles of the party so you can see how many people were there:



dancin'


the boys that hosted the party for us


i finally remembered to take some pictures with people as the party was winding down
heres some video of us doing the cupid shuffle (for the third time) when almost everyone had left:
