20 Things I learned on Band Tour

  1. "Flying to Neverland" can get you into trouble.
  2. I'm not very good at following, although sometimes it's just easier to let someone else lead.
  3. Mr. Lyon doesn't have it in him to get anyone back.
  4. I'm not very good at getting to bed on time.
  5. Social circumstances change constantly, and you have to adjust.
  6. Buses suck all conversational ability out of me.
  7. Grand plans don't always pan out.
  8. The swings at amusement parks aren't all that bad.
  9. Princesses are hard to find. (about as hard as the metaphorical prince)
  10. I have the ability to use a purse. Don't mock me.
  11. Don't give your friend both mustard and popcorn on the same night.
  12. Indiana Jones is the best ride. Ever.
  13. Don't pretend to be mad. It never turns out funny and it makes you look lame.
  14. Pillow fights are about the greatest thing.
  15. Don't ever hide in the closet. People get hurt that way.
  16. Mr. Lyon is a soccer superstar.
  17. Sam is a beachbum bird afraid of the water.
  18. Being patient with people is not the same as being kind.
  19. BTR's are overrated. Band tour went great without them.
  20. Life is beautiful when you have a friend living it with you.

Sorry about all the vague descriptions and weird lists...I'm just not good at being specific about long periods of time, especially when they are so packed of awesome experiences. Anyway, tomorrow we start school again, (on an A day of all things) and I know that I will be thinking back on things that happened this Spring Break for years to come. Life is beautiful. And when bad things happen it can be beautifully tragic or tragically beautiful; it's all a matter of perspective.

Oh, Noelle, I very much adore this list. And I agree, Indiana Jones is the best ride of all time. BTW, I'm not really mad about the Neverland thing...you knew that, right? It was actually quite funny. Although painful. ;)

PS: Sorry I smashed your head in the closet!

I didn't think you were mad, but I'm glad to be sure you weren't :D And I wasn't mad about you smashing my head in the closet. It was just funny.

That was such a good blog! I loved the last parts especially. I agree about the whole "BTR" and/or "CTR" thing. Choir tour would have been PERFECT without them! Oh, and I LOVE that last quote. Life is wonderful!
