june wrap-up // I ALMOST STABBED SOMEONE?!?!?!

Part of my brain can’t believe June is already over, it feels like the days just went by in a flash.

June was a busy month for me, this year I was the photographer at my church’s VBS, as well as one of the teens in the skit every night, it was a lot of fun and I got to hang around a group of kids in my church that I normally wouldn’t have.

 The lighting is so bad, I'm sorry!

Fun fact: the boy in the green is one of my little brothers :P

 The seven most awesome people at our VBS (yes, I'm including myself).

^^as the only two girl actors, we had to take at least one bad selfie before the skit

Back to the photography part, I had to borrow one of my friend’s mom’s camera. My friend’s mom is a photographer, and she let me borrow one of her nicer cameras for the week. I hate to admit it, but I barely knew anything about professional cameras (I didn’t even know about ISO), so I learned a lot during that week!

^^The spider over our front door that I named Daisy. <3

So, I'm sure that title startled half of y'all on here, so let me explain... first let me show you the texts I sent to my mom, and then I'll tell you the full story:

Yeah, picture me marching down our hall shouting at the top of my lungs, a butcher knife in one hand, and my phone with 911 dialed out on the other with my thumb ready to press call. 

My family was at swimming lessons that morning so I was home alone working on school, I came out to plug my phone in (my charger is in our kitchen because of a family rule).

 I was plugging my phone in when I heard the sound of a toilet flushing... I freaked out due to watching too many 48 Hours documentaries and thus I decided to investigate. 

I feel really really stupid. 

But better safe than sorry I guess. 😅

And I realize that my blog title is technically clickbait, but hey, I'm just practicing for my future Youtube career! (Jk. Jk.).

FUNNY MOMENTS OF THE MONTH (asides from the butcher knife moment):

Friend: So, you're driving now?

Me: Yes, I have a learner's permit.

Him: How does that work?
Me: What?

Him: How do you reach the pedals, do you tape your books to your shoes? 

Me: Haha. 

Him: You better watch out for me when I turn fifteen.

Me: I'm leaving town the moment you turn fifteen.

  

Little kid at VBS: Hey, are you the girl on stage with the pretty springy hair?

A few of my friends and I are hanging out in our church sanctuary, the only other person is there is a sound guy in the sound booth.  

One of the guys *jokingly walks up to the altar and grabs the mic* 

Him: .... i lIkE tRaInS.

Turns out the mic was on and the poor sound guy looked so confused. 

Friend: Let's take a selfie!
Me: *makes a face at the camera*
Friend: You look like a crazy.
Me: I am a crazy.
Friend: Oooh, makes sense.

I helped my mom with her class at the end of VBS, since I had already finished the slide shows, and I made the mistake of sitting down during the lesson and around eight kids tried to sit in my lap at once. 

They also thought my name was Mary Ann because that's my name in the skit. X_x

Little kid: Why did you draw with sharpie on your eyelids?

Me: It's just my eyeliner. XD

Also, I recently reached a thousand followers on Pinterest, and I'd like to thank y'all for following me and sharing my blog posts, half of my pageviews are from Pinterest, so it is greatly appreciated.

Sooo, I think that's the end of this wrap-up? I'm volunteering at another church camp (as a leader, not a photographer), so y'all probably will hear more about that at the end of July! 

How was your June?

Have you ever freaked out over a sound when you're home alone?

Happy Writing,
