   There and back again!
Oy, oy... Well, prepare for a seriously long post, as compared to my normal ones. I just got back from Reno, Nevada. I suppose that I’ll just do a summary of each day...

Day one: Left around midnight on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) and traveled through the night until about 7-8ish Wednesday morning. We were all somewhere in the realm of sleepwalking. With me were Chantelle, Daniel, Brittany, and Robert, plus Britt and Daniel’s parents (They’re siblings), plus four goats: Isaac, William, Junior, and Arthur. First day was mostly setting up and being bored. We then went back to the hotel room and crashed...

Day two through Sunday... I was pretty zonked for the first couple of days): Got up, went to Carrows, I think. Might have been Denny’s... Waited around until the goat shows. I took stinking last place in the Market Goat show... The judge liked my goat, but said that if he had been given more time to buff out, he would have placed much higher. She also said that he was the cutest and flashiest goat out there. On to showmanship, which, for those of you who don’t know, is where you are the one judged on how well you present yourself, how much you know, and how well your animal is prepared. Anyway, I took fourth in this. And, Britt took first! I was pretty dang happy for her, because, when you take first in a showmanship thing, you go on to compete in something called “Master Showman” where you show all thirteen species (dog, cat, chicken, rabbit, guinea pig, beef cow, dairy cow, market goat, dairy goat, horse, sheep, hog, and another one... can’t remember...). We don’t know how she placed in that, because they only tell you the winners. Anyway, I got a set of two ninja swords with black blades that are pretty sharp and Narsil, from the Lord of the Rings. Narsil isn’t sharp...

Anyway, I met a guy named Austin (<3) and he was so seriously cool! He gave me... are you ready for this? A wadded up piece of barbed wire. He said that it was shaped like a whale... Yeah... whale... He had bleached-blonde hair and chocolate-colored eyes. And, he was tall! Anyway, he hung with our group a bit, but I’ll probably never see him again (sob). Maybe I’ll upload a pic of him once I download it off of my camera...

So, that pretty much sums it up. By the way... Crazy? I was crazy once! They put me in a room! A round room! A round rubber room! A round rubber room with rats! Round rats! Round rubber rats! Round rubber rats that ran round and round till they drove me crazy! Crazy? I was crazy once... (and on and on and on) This is a great way to annoy someone... Chantelle taught it to me... Try saying it sometime...

One more thing... No Anime or Dipping Dots! (Dipping dots are a type of ice cream...)Now I will go and mourn, for it is the last day before school starts...
