Sunsplash Adventures

Good lord. April 9th, 2011, you were truly such a badass fantastic day full of random occurrences & awkward moments NOT caused by me.

Where to even begin? I got there at 10 am, so this has been a 15 hour event (maybe my math is wrong), but I spent 15 hours with these people. I assumed I'd be spending the day with a maximum of 5 people. Nope. I spent it with 12, many of whom I did not know. At this point, I could practically live in their dorm and it wouldn't be a big deal. We bonded THAT much.

Brief recap:

1. I saw Ryan, which was partially awkward, because my friend Gina was having trouble with her locker, so much so that the key wouldn't come out of the locker.

2. Played Pokemon in the lazy river with Blayn by throwing leaves at him and shouting out random Grass attacks - we also were water Pokemon and he said I was Squirtle, because I'm super fast and he couldn't catch me :P

3. His name is apparently spelled Blayn, so I've been incorrectly spelling it.

4. He attracts children towards him, who will randomly start attacking him for his inner tube in the lazy river. This happened 3 times with 3 different children.

5. Being the new kid, especially being a girl, makes ALL of the guys act super weird/almost creepy.

6. I've never been stared at so much as I had been today & one of his friends grabbed my waist, which was uber creep.

7. RANDOMLY, Blayn, Sam, Jess & I decided to talk about our sex lives and what we like or dislike while eating dinner at Ale House.

8. The conversation was so interesting that we decided to continue it at all costs, so we lied to the group and said we were going to play Scrabble.

9. We were gone for THREE hours. Why? We sat on the FGCU waterfront in the darkness, discussing questions such as, "what's your ideal guy/girl?" to "what turns you on?"

10. MARCUS appeared and practically molested Jess & I and we were laughing constantly.

11. He untied one of my bikini strings with just one hand and I had it tied in a double knot! He undid one of Jess's too.

But one of the weirdest moments was when we were on the beach and the "ideal guy/girl" question came up and Blayn basically described me. Rather bluntly too. Now, I usually tend to be rational and think he means someone else, but with a description like this, it's difficult to say otherwise:

"A nice girl who isn't bitchy 24/7, a girl who knows how to have fun and be spontaneous but also can be serious when the need occurs, a girl with long hair, preferably a tall girl, someone who likes to cuddle & has meat on her bones, has similar interests..."

The best part? He was poking me in the sides from Ale House & also on the beach, and I would bust up laughing, because that's where I'm ticklish. He realizes this and pokes me more, causing me to laugh even harder. Sam told him to stop and finish his answer, and then Blayn says, "oh yeah.. and she has to like to roughhouse!" I mean, really?

Weird was also throwing leafs at Blayn in the lazy river and having his creepy friend try to play that game with me to the extent that he tried putting a leaf in between my chest. Really?

But when we got back at like 1230, Blayn and his friends were trying to kick Sam out because he was annoying them, and I liked Sam! He was a really cool dude! So I took my leave, even though they (meaning Blayn, Chris, Julian, Greg, Steve, Dan, Ryan) seemed like they wanted me to stay there. But still, when I'm in a dorm and a dude is telling someone else to GTFO of the dorm, it makes me really uncomfortable, so I had to leave. What was worse was the fact when I gathered my stuff, Sam thought I was trying to convince him to leave, when I really wasn't. I hope he doesn't hate me :/

Even though he was super random at MANY points during the day, he was a really cool dude. Plus, the group disliked Jess too, but after spending 3 hours talking about that sort of thing, you can't help but bond. It was my first time going to the waterfront and my first serious conversation with dudes involved! It's a big deal for me who doesn't like to talk about legit stuff like that.

I texted Blayn asking for him to not kill Sam, but he hasn't responded.

I need to add them on Facebook!!
