Miley, Jessie, or Woody?

Hello everyone,

My name is Shannon. I have been through so many experiences that were nothing short of awesome!

Lately I've been volunteering for an amazing company for victims of dangerous environments. I got an email from the company inviting me to a concert at a church. I went to the concert and for some reason I kept having the worst energy spurts ever! I was sitting through the concert and I noticed the playground outside and practically ran out there and turned into a monkey. One woman actually stared at me for a few minutes thinking there was something was wrong with me.

After that I was hoping the next event would be funner. Well I got another eVite from the company and it was a hoedown/cookoff. I got there and helped set up, being as festive as I could. I started jumping in the bouncy house, then saw that people were setting cowboy hats and bandannas on the tables for decoration.

Of course I went over to snag a hat and bandanna. My best friend put my hair in the worst pigtails ever. I felt like an idiot. But then, of course my boyfriend is going to tell me I look beautiful, right? Naturally, I don't believe it.

A woman who was all cowgirled-up already looked like she would know what she's doing... unlike my best friend. So with the best pigtails she could manage, I asked the cowgirl to tie a bandanna around my neck like hers. I felt like Miley, but everyone kept saying I looked like Woody or Jessie from Toy Story. The woman then put a bandanna on my best friend's head and it looked a hell of a lot cuter than I did!

The day started to drag on and it got really hot, so we went to leave. Then, just as we walked out, I heard something that made my heart pound out of my chest and I had to run back in like a maniac- MUSIC! People were dancing! My first comment- "hell yeah I'm gonna go dance!"

So I did... after the dancers were finished I went up to one of them and asked them to teach me how to Salsa dance. I got it down pretty quickly, then Lady Gaga came on and I FREAKED. I mean seriously I screamed. I then requested the Hoedown Throwdown song so that I could perform the dance. Coincidentally I'm actually not that fond of Hannah Montana. I started doing the dance and everyone stared at me and screamed and clapped, shouting "yeah!" and dancing in their seats. I felt like I looked like an idiot once again. Not to make you think I'm a crazy person who escaped my ward-- I'm not...

At the end of the day when it was almost cleared out and a little girl came up to dance with me. I couldn't stop dancing to save my life. I kept getting text messages from my mom saying to stop dancing and come home. Hell no! I didn't care I had school at 8AM the next morning! Eventually, everyone left and I went home... FUNNEST DAY EVER!!!

I can't wait for the event coming up in two days, this Saturday!

Thanks for reading this, please post comments for me and I'll read your blogs =)
