it's all fun and games until someone's nose gets broken...then it's hilarious

so there's this funny thing after you finish high school: graduation! it feels a little strange to know that i am a high school graduate. just as i was getting comfortable in high school, i have to leave. don't get me wrong, i want to leave (or would it be wanted as i have left high school now?) see i can't even get my verb tenses right! so anyway we graduated yesterday and had a jolly good time of it :)

after graduation comes graduation parties! this made for a rather eventful day yesterday. we went to a party of someone who goes to my church then hannah and i went to my best friend megan's house. we ate some cake and played a really terrible game of badminton. then we decided to play ninja...

for those of you who don't know this game (if you do know you may carry on to the next paragraph): a group of people stands in a circle. all bow to the center then strike a ninja-esque pose (usually accompanied by a ninja noise) the winner of the previous round (or some random person if it is the first round) swings at one of the people next to them trying to hit their hand. if you hit anything but a hand you are out. if you hit their hand they are out and the circle closes. if you do not wish to swing (or can't for various reasons) you may reposition yourself into a new ninja pose.

so anyway, two of the girls thought it would be fun to try to make josh (megan's boyfriend) flinch by swinging past his face in the process of swinging at his hand. this turned out to be not such a good idea as one of the aforementioned girls swung a little harder than intended and a bit closer to his face than intended and ended up hitting him in the face. this made quite a satisfying smack sound. however that's when the blood began. the heel of her hand had smashed into his nose, breaking it. this kind of puts a damper on the party atmosphere.

he's fine now (well, as good as you can be with a broken nose). they were going to the doctor last night so hopefully he got it shifted back into place. it was rather unsettling to look at his face and see his nose a good half centimeter off from where it was supposed to be.

it was an accident but the unnamed breaker of the nose feels really terrible about it even though she didn't mean to and it wasn't her idea in the first place. so if she's reading this: don't worry about it :) accidents happen.

i'm hopefully going to another grad party today which i hope is not nearly as eventful :)
