Quest Carnival

Ok, so Sam picked me up at 3:30pm and we had a great time at the carnival. We got there, watched one of his friends/band members sing for the lil kids as "Alexis Texas." After that, we talked to a bunch of his friends and kept walking around and meeting people he knew; it was fun 'cus I met lots of fun people. Hmm, we watched some really cool motocross stuff, bought dinner and a 3' long bag of kettle corn for me to share with Val, a girl on my hall.
We went on those carnival swings, the ones that are for one person and are on like 30' metal cables. Sam, me, and Sam's group of friends all went on the swings, but I was the last one on, and the group of swings they had chosen didn't have enough swings for me, so I went and found one away from the group so that I could at least be on the ride. It just so happened that the swing I chose had an empty swing next to it. After I sat down, feeling kind of sad 'cus I was alone, I looked up to see Sam leaving his swing by his friends and sitting down in the one across from me:-), uber fun.

After the swings, we went on the scrambler ride thingy. Sam and I went together :-). I've never had such fun just yelling "whooooo!" and lifting my arms up in the air, haha. Oh, and when the ride was over, the people forgot to get us out (it was one of those things the carnie guys have to open for you), so we ended up going a second time together. However, between the 1st and 2nd time going, I noticed my bag of kettle corn was nowhere near my bag, where I had set it down, in fact, the kettle corn was AWOL. There had been some middle school punks begging me for some, but I had so "no" b/c I didn't know them, it cost me $7, and I was going to give half of it to Val. They got mad at mumbled under their breath. Sam things they stole it. But that didn't stop him from yelling at his buddies (b4 the 2nd ride started) that they should look for those middle school punks and find my kettle corn -we had already named my kettle corn Christopher Kettle Corn, he had a sharpied-on face (onto the bag), and he had been "breast fed" by the boys and called "Baby" a billion times. It was really sad to lose Christopher Kettle Corn.

So by the time we went on the rides, the girl who played Alexis Texas was hanging with us (she's a year younger than Sam) and she wanted to ride with Sam on the scrambler because, as she said, "it was tradition." ::rolls eyes:: . Anywho, I went on with Jared, a freshman at UK and we had a good talk about being a Christian at a secular state university and how fraternities fit into that.

After the rides, Sam, his guy friends, and I all walked over to Meijers and bought a 1/2 gallon of cookies and cream icecream and some plastic spoons and ate it on the way back to the carnival. That was really fun. We then watched the fireworks (they were beautiful) on the grass and Sam dropped me off at the front steps of GC. However, I went for a hug in the car after he stopped the car in front of the GC steps. It was weird. I went for a hug and we somehow ended up smacking our faces together (no lip though, thank goodness). He made like a little yelp and I felt awkward and quickly got out of the car. Not sure if he was going for a kiss and I was only going for a hug, or if we both are just super bad at judging what side to hug on. I mean, it's normal to have that both-go-to-the-same-side-hug on accident, but I've never not been able to save it. Awwwwkard.
