Hi everyone,

Though I am posting again no one seems to know and maybe I should change that and comment on Daniel's or something.  We went away for a week at R.E.A.P. and it was tottally awsome.... I would post what I got on the story of it I am writting in 1st person.... But I developed a crush while I was there and I know that he does use internet and possibly has a xanga so!  I guess I will just have to write it again without any references of crush in there.... if it is possible....  The highlight of the trip was the conference (R.E.A.P) so I will start with the we headed out...witch is improtant to my story yet not really anyone esles...:

Part one!  last minute goodbye's at Browmen's:

I was standing talking quite normally to Aunt Jane.  I was in my normal stance for when we are about to leave with one leg straight (in this case my left) and one leg flexed (my right this time)  ocasionally switching.  This stance alowes me to move a little more quickly when having to grab my bags and run out the door when it comes time to leave.  What I am about to tell you next all happened in about to seconds.  I had been feelling pressure inside my knee cap.  This happend often with my hip and I just would apply more pressure and my bones would get back into there normal posision with a snap.  Any way I aplied more pressure thinking it would work as it often did with my knee.... well, I heard the snap it being particularly loud this time I looked at my knee simply thinking the it was rather cool.  There was much more time to think.  All this while I was talking.  All of a sudden my knee kinda gave way and spun in a ovel at the joint in to knee cap.  I was falling... surprised I let out a short little screem.... the kind you make when you brother pushes you of a swing.  Though that took a long time to write it took no time at all to happen.  No, my knee was not sprained... no, it didn't break.  I found our what my parents thought had happend as I cluched my throbbing knee now in a bent possition.  I believe I was crying in my surprise.  Half listening to the conversation above me half wondering what on had just happend I remember hearing something like.  "What do think happened?" voice unknown "It looked like someone just pushed her." Aunt Jane.  Thourgh out the conversation I found that I probably do not have cartaliege between my knees and there for can fall over at any given time.  My Mom has the same thing but most ocurences were juring her teen years.  Just my luck.  More questiones asked and then after crying Aunt Jane's lap a minute I sat up to recal what happend and my crying emidiatly turned to laghing.  It was just so funny!  I didn't even remember what I was talking about and then... BOOM! on the floor!  hilarious!!  Well to me.  You would have to be there to find it funny.  The only reason for me telling you this is it has some effect of what I did at conference.  Anyway.  Dad said to wait for it to heal witch surprised me.  I felt fine for the moment.  My knee was swelling but I knew it would go away.  I think it was just surprised to.  Making an unsure walk to the car not wanting to fall again.  Once in the car I kept moving my knee so it would not get used to one position.  It hurt but that was ok.  We were on the road again.

toon in next time to find us in pulling into a parking lot at the collage which the confernce R.E.A.P takes place!!!
