This is the pleading cry I heard coming from my visiting friend, Sarah, after we reviewed a hi-lar-i-ous picture, taken while playing "The Game"....to be explained.
Let me start by saying that Kelsey (my roommate), Sarah, and I decided to have a sleepover tonight since it's the last night of the semester before we go home for the holidays. And of course we had to all sleep in one bed; unfortunately, our itty bitty twin beds would definitely not fit all three of us. Sooo, naturally, we dragged our mattresses into the living room and pushed them together to make one giant floor bed! Oh the things you get to do in college :)
Well, we also wanted to document our fantastic sleepover, but were having quite a few problems taking a picture of ourselves while laying in our mattressfloorbed. You know...when you try to take a picture of you and your friends at night and it's dark so it takes three billion tries to get it centered but it's still so awkward and close because it's only an arm-distance away and you all end up looking like you just got run over by a bus....yeah, those are the kind of pictures we kept ended up with--there was always one of us who was unsatisfied with it!
Finally, we called Joanna (my other roommate) over to take a picture of us and I had the brilliant idea, "Let's just make goofy faces, because then if we look terrible it will be on purpose!" So we decided to play "The Game."
"The Game," for those of you who don't know, is when you contort your face into a bunch of wacky shapes continuously until the picture is taken. The point is that you never know exactly when the picture will be taken and you end up with some of the funniest pictures ever. If you've never played "The Game" before, I suggest you try it as soon as possible, because you will never want to go back to normal pictures again! (It is that good...or bad...depending on how embarrassed you get.) The best part about "The Game" is that you never quite know what you're going to end up with...so it's like a surprise picture!! :)
So...we prepped our faces, began contorting...and *snap* Joanna took the picture. Of course we were all giggling before we even saw it, but NO ONE could have prepared us for the picture that was soon revealed.... After taking the camera back from Joanna, we immediately zoomed in on our faces and literally....we died from laughter...
From my crippled-looking hand and face, to Kelsey's disappointed look, and Sarah's squished-up-tongue-face-and-neck...we were a mess!! It was some of THE BEST "Game" faces I had ever seen.......We continued to laugh/cry/pee our pants for the next five minutes, and every time we'd start to calm down a bit, I'd just hold that picture up again and...BAM we were off on another uncontrollable fit.
Needless to say, I know this story would be a million times better with the actual picture, but I have a depressing announcement....the picture was deleted by none other than Miss Sarah herself! Possibly out of embarrassment, possibly to protect herself from dying of laughter...we'll never know.
Regardless, I unfortunately cannot show you the picture, and so I imagine this post won't seem very relate-able. However, I hope you still enjoyed reading about our late-night living room laughter and if you leave this blog post with only one thing, I hope it is a new motivation to play "The Game" so that you too can experience your own night of hilarity and embarrassment :)
I've also included a couple of my favorite pictures from other times we played "The Game"... enjoy! :)
