January 1, 2012

(4:33am)

OMG, I just had such a good time that I forgot to write. Plus, the hotel had a computer, but you had to pay via credit card. These people hustle every penny out of you. Anyways, here are some of the sesions we did:


(10:42am)

Okay, so I'm on a plane ride back home. I left a christian conference in New Orleans called the Impact Movement. It was amazing. I had a lot of fun. We didn't go to bed until past 1:30 in the morning. I'm tired now because I didn't go to bed until like 4 am, and our TV wouldn't turn off. I wanted to cut the power cord.



Anyways, I met the best person I've ever met in my life (but don't tell Arianna). Her name is Kaycee. I first want to clarify that no, I don't LIKE her like her, but she is a very cool person, kind hearted, devoted, and also crazy. From the moment I saw her, it just felt like there was something telling me that she was special. We didn't talk until last night around 5:15pm. She just called me over to a table and asked if I was okay, because I looked lonely (I was. I was looking for Jacquynn and trying to be social. I spent most of my time couped in my room or people watching. Non-creepy kind). She just invited me to hang out with her. It only took me about 30 minutes to fully connect with her. That's about 100,000 times shorter than it took me to connect with Mrs. Cathirell, Doña, or Arianna (maybe combined). We hung out like we were long time best friends. We shared stories about many things. She told me about a boy she liked, also named Caleb. She was frantically trying to explain that she wasn't talking about me, but I already knew. We met up with another dude named Kalen (pronounced like mine, but with an “n”) and just went up to the 32nd floor and hung out in the excercise room the rest of the time (until evening session), then went to the evening session.



Favorite part of the night was counting down the new year. We had a step team and spoken word (poetry, like coffee house), then the praise team sang. When midnight hit, I just hugged everyone I saw, mostly females. Got some some from dudes too. We all family. But mostly, I just enjoyed hanging with Kaycee. She put a pink glow stick on my arm. I gave her a “girl, you crazy” look, she laughed. Skip ahead some stuff (because this is already long), we did the electric slide (worship version). I got to semi-teach her how to do that, but that was my first time ever doing it in a group, so I stepped on some people (know for sure). Got a group picture of everyone at the conference, need to find that picture. After that, we did the Cupid Shuffle to another song. Had to teach Kaycee, well she watched me. I was killin it, me and this other dude. This other young lady (about uper 20's) took over. So cool. I think we’ll be BFFs. She gave me a huge hug afterwards and we exchanged information.  It was probably as hard for her to leave me as it was for me to leave her. She’s so AWESOME!!! I wish I’d met her sooner.
