For about 3 hours straight I did nonstop face painting on various special needs kids, and I smiled so much I felt my face was going to fall off.My day started out interestingly enough with my friend Caleb getting orange juice poured on him by his crazy ex for turning some jeans she gave him into shorts... Yeah. His mom had to bring him a different shirt to change into.
Anyways, besides what seemed like endless face painting on my part, I had a fun time. Towards the end of the day we kind of goofed off and painted silly things and just messed around in general.
Ryan, the guy running against me for class VP was also there helping his special needs buddy carry the banner... Which reminds me, he caught me putting up a really large poster in the counselor hallway today and it was pretty funny. It ended with me yelling after him saying "I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU," and him making weird gestures in response.
The Thespians decided to dress up as popular characters and my friend Kenneth decided to be Harry Potter! I couldn't resist getting a picture with him. He's so precious! (in a non Golem-esque way)
All of the 120 students that helped out were cleared from having to go to class so once I got back to school I passed out on the floor of the art room with my friend Bekka. Concrete does wonders on your spine, just in case you were wondering.
Anyways, Natalie tagged me in this thing, so I felt that I out to fill it out.
