Either He's Bad Luck, or I'm Just An Accident Waiting to Happen

Remember this post??
Well if not, quick recap:
I went on a date with Tyler at the beginning of the summer and came home with an internal bruise on my neck.
Well last night, I went on another date with Tyler and came home with a bump on the back of my head.
Maybe Emily's right and I do need a helmet!!!
We were having an Ultimate Chicken Fight in my pool and I was on Ty's shoulders.
It was between us and one other couple, they backed us into the steps and pushed.
I hit my head HARD on the step.
So now I have a fun little bump that makes it so I have to sleep sideways.
Awesome.
Despite that, the date was SO SO FUN!!!!
We started out with a race at Frys to see who could get dinner for under $10, then we went to a park to eat. Since we weren't allowed to cook or heat anything up,Ty and I bought a HUGE sandwich that was seriously bigger than my head.
So we were at the park eating on a blanket when it starts POURING rain!!! Everyone started rushing to the ramada, but I wanted nothing more than to just sit there and enjoy it.
But Ty insisted that we save the food.
So we did, then we frolicked.
No joke.
We walked, skipped and ran around the park, doing cartwheels and acting like children while everyone else laughed at us.
NOBODY appreciates rain like I do.
Our frolicking was put to an aprupt end when the water balloon fight started.
Yes, a water balloon fight in the rain.
Pointess.
But amazing!!!
After the fight we found the remains of our mammoth sandwich all around the park.
Dang wind!!
But thankfully, the Ben and Jerry's was safe!!!
Then a muddy game of Sushi Tag began ending with us all covered in wet grass from head to toe.
The night ended with a Taco Bell run and two hours of swimming in our clothes.
Nights like that, make being a teenager bearable!!!!

A Date, Two Dares, and an Internal Bruise???

Tuesday night was Fabulous! Two of my girlfriends and I decided to plan a triple date! We did a progressive dinner which started with Salad at Susannah's house. We also did a game at every house. The first one was How Well Do You Know Your Date. And ALL the boys won!
So at the next house, Katie's, the boys got to eat their scrumptious spaghetti first!
Then we played Apples to Apples and headed to my house for.........
PIZOOKIES and swimming!!!
And that is when we started a ridiculous game of
Team Truth or Dare.
Basically the truth option became void and you HAD to a dare with your date.
Well let me just say that Tyler and I got the WORST of the dares.
But before I tell you about the first dare, here's a little background information.
My dear friend Tyler and I met in Karate. He was the only boy who would actually try and fight me. All the other boys didn't want to hit a girl. But Tyler WOULD NOT be beat by a girl. So naturally he kicked my trash every time we fought. And I loved it! How was I supposed to get better if no one would try???
Exactly.
So anywho, the other boys on our date, Jacob and Sam, knew this. So all night they'd been bugging us to fight each other. And when it was our turn to do a dare they got their chance. They made us get out of the pool, get on the trampoline and fight.
Take down, tap out.
I looked at Tyler and was like
"Let's just get this over with."
So within 15 seconds he had me down and in a choke hold.
Like an
"I can't breathe, let go or I'll die choke hold!"
As we got back in the pool I was doing my best to breathe normally and not cry...
And I suceeded!
No tears!
I'm a tough girl!
PSH!

Anywho, too soon, we had to do a dare again.
And it was ridiculous.
"Act out the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet."
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
Nope.
They weren't.
So there we were, me on top of our slide with Ty on the diving board, confessing our love to each other in Old English.
Sam and Jacob scripted us.
Me: Tyler Oh Tyler, thy muscles are rippling.
Ty: Natalie Oh Natalie, thy beauty is comparable to the moon in al its glory.
Then they spent five minutes trying to get "Romeo" to kiss me.
I could practically see the battle going on in Ty's head.
Everyone in the pool was staring shamelessly like it was a movie!
Finally, after minutes of goading, Ty leaned up and kissed me on the cheek.
It was PRECIOUS!

After everyone left, my neck was still hurting from the choke hold.
And Wednesday it was worse.
I got really paranoid, thinking I had a bruise on my neck!
AH WHAT ARE PEOPLE GOING TO THINK!!!!!!
But then multiple people told me they couldn't see anything.
Which meant that the bruise is internal...
Which is why it hurts so much!!!!
So there you have it, A Date, Two Dares and an Internal Bruise.
