Harborview of Awesome.

Woo what a good night! :D Haha, I'm not going to wake up tomorrow, I will die in my sleep. (Will explain later :P)

So today I had not 1 but 2 exams, as per usual, my mood went from "bleeehhhh I'm waking up" to a lot better by the end of my "school" day :P Music plays a big part in that, anyhow! onto the point of the post, YOUTH GROUP! Kyou wa kin'youbi desu! and that makes me happy right off the bat! :D aaaand Ashita wa doyoubi desu!! :D Haha Which makes me happy too! I at least get a little time to relax! :P I'm having fun learning japanese!

So! Tonight! Was! Super Fun! :P

First me and my brothers got our skates sharpened! Cool beans

Then we were off to youth! We got there, chatted a bit and watched a YC Promo, which I'm In... *Embarrassing* haha joking.

THEN WE WERE OFF! Had a good chat with James, Denver, and Hair/Chris Bone on the way there!

Then we got there! And stood around for a bit talking and waiting!

Then we went inside and turns out more people were there than we thought! oh well!

Then I went skating with a few people! That was a GREAT skate!

Then I went in for a bit after racing a lap against this kid James who is REALLY good at skating and hockey, he obviously plays, he's quite rude though! That's okay though, I can dig it, yo. rama, haha! But by the time I went in, it was like the opposite of my lungs being on fire, so I warmed up, went back out for a little more skating, and went back inside to hang out with people! Then Crystal, Levi, Jesse, and I went tobogganing for a bit! That didn't last long, haha.

Then back inside, more visiting and talking, and then I went outside with Paul to see if I could do a flip in full winter gear, it was a .... SUCCESS! :D I'm very happy about that! Then I went back inside.

More things most likely happened in between, like me "chasing" Daniel, making him think I was going to PAIN him in some way, then I gave him a hug, Haha! I win.

And then chatting and stuff, and then back to the church!

And then the GIANT-WATER-MATTRESS-PILLOW-LIKE-THING-OF-DEATH at Crocus Hill, Haha we tried so hard to make this thing work! But it just flopped over! I got down by myself, and then a few of us got down once at the end, but we discovered, YOU CAN LAUNCH PEOPLE OFF OF IT! :P Haha, So we did that a few times and went back to the church, it was C-C-COLD up there!

Back at the church! LEVI BROUGHT HIS GINGERBREAD-KIT-OF-DEATH, My GOODNESS that thing, I swear it could be used as rat poison! I tried to eat that, and the icing was SO THICK, I was gagging, and dying, and I had to run downstairs for water. But we had so much fun! Greatest way to make a gingerbread house is to absolutely NOT take it seriously! And that's why I'm not going to wake up tomorrow, I will DIE, I swear I can feel the icing hardening inside of me!

And thennnn we cleaned up the mess, and then we went home, and now I'm writing this, and now I'm done!

Weekend Of Awesome...

Friday:

So Friday was a great night, went to Clarissa's for a party! Was great fun, good times!
I still think Clarissa should have gotten the Habanero(I think?) Sauce for her mom instead of salsa! :P

Hmm what else could I say about this night, Haha I don't know but it was great!

/Friday

Saturday:

So I woke up today, had some oatmeal, some french vanilla, and Crystal came to my house to wait for Trisha to pick us up for LBE, then she did! :o Amazing! Mark went to the church at 8:30, and was impatient and left before Trisha even got there!! >:\ He missed out, whatever, next time! So it was just Trisha (and Chloe), Nolan, Crystal, and me.. Serious shortage of people, Shannon and Clarissa couldn't make it! :( Denver didn't go, We think he's working today, whatevs (That's what the cool people say, right? whatevs? Haha :D).. :P

On the way there! We talked and such, prepared ourselves for the day, nothing too exciting here! :)

Arrival! They had things for breakfast like always, this time there was.. shortbread cookies, some VERY crumbling things (they were pretty good! :) ) Bagels (Om nom nom Blueberry bagel *drool...*). Sang some songs, prayed over the day, brought up the lunches from the basement, loaded up vehicles, and we're off!

Time to pick the kids up! Picking up the kids on the central bus, pretty rowdy as usual, Jordan didn't want to come, so we got him on the phone with Crystal and everyone was saying they wanted him to come, and she was like "Steven's here too", Jordan was like "STEVEN'S THERE?! I'M COMING!!", :P Haha. And Bayley decided she was going to tear up the plastic bag with her teeth instead of eating the sandwhich INSIDE the bag, THEN she decided she was going to EAT MY JACKET! Finally Crystal tickled her and I realized I should have thought of that sooner! Then halfway through the ride she was like "You have big warm hands" then she grabbed my arm, lay down on the seat with her feet up against the wall and her head on my side, and held on to my arm, and started singing songs to herself until we got to the church, it was incredibly cute.

At the church! Everyone is getting off the bus at this point, when I hear Tristan crying, and laying on the seat holding his neck... Jordan punched him in the neck because he was bugging him or something, I don't know, this didn't go over well with me.. He was fine, Randal told me to go inside and he'd bring Tristan in, alright.

Sanctuary, Guard Duty! :P I manned the left door, Some kids tried to get through (of course), but nope! :D They did a neat silhouette for telling the kids about the Tower of Babel, Randal was telling me afterwards that he thought he could have done a better job, and how he didn't have much time to prepare, but I thought he did real good! The kids were really attentive! So good job Randal and team!

Grade Group Time! Most of the girls went off for a tea party, Trisha told me about it afterwards, the sock in the tea pot thing was a pretty cool idea. As for Nolan and I with the grade 2, 3, and 4 boys, we went to Green Hill for som Toboganning!! :D Before leaving the bus we all prayed for safety, no broken teeth or bones, and the Lord answered that prayer! (not saying no one got hurt, but I will tell about that later! :P) It was a GREAT time, the main section was literally a big sheet of ice the whole way down, and you go so fast! Everytime me and the kids went down the hill, they would always latch on to our and each other's mats, so we would all go down as a cluster, Randal thought that was great. :P And now for the injuries: One of the kids while standing got SMOKED in the feet and almost did a flip! he landed on his shoulder and head, so i picked him up and carried him to the side so he wouldn't get hit again, I got one of the kids to call Randal over and he took care of him, he was fine, and was up and about in no time! :D But apparently Nolan tells me one of the kids hurt themselves and was complaining of headaches, and puked?? And another kid with the same deal puked on the bus?? I didn't find any puke afterwards though... and I cleaned up the bus after we got back! Hm also one of the kid's hands was really cold and wet, so I let him wear my gloves until his were warm and mine were freezing. Hmmm so in conclusion: Green Hill is awesome. We went in the fall for a great day, and now again for another great day! I just hope and pray those kids who apparently puked are okay, and don't have concusions! Also Nolan was hanging out with one of the kids on the bunny hill who just didn't want to go on the big hill, good on Nolan for hanging out with him!

Going back to the church I talked to the class, mostly asking them if they had fun, which they all did, then we got back to the church, and all the kids switched onto their pick-up/drop-off section busses, I just stayed on the same bus, since Randal's class bus was also the central bus. :D

The Drop-off! So on the way to drop kids off, the kids were QUITE, no... CONSIDERABLY rowdy, until most of them left that is, then it calmed to a lull, which was nice since I was getting tired. Tristan was upset when his plans to go to his friend's house didn't work out, so he went home, I talked to him on facebook after, he said he was at Jordan's house, :P Guys just don't hold grudges! Good stuff!

Back to the church! When we got back to the church, Randal asked me to clean up te garbage in the bus, so I did, finished eating my lunch, went in the church, met up with Trisha and Nolan, we talked a little bit, said our goodbye's and see-you-in-a-month's and went on our way home!

On the way home! We talked about our day as usual, "debriefing" and what not, we all agreed it was a VERY good day!

And then I was dropped off, said seeya later! and went inside :D

And then the rest of the day I just sat around, writing this! haha not really, but close enough.

/Saturday

Sunday (The Fuuutuure! :o ):

Soo tomorrow's church! And Shenanigans is singing! haha I'll have to make sure to smile ackwardly at her and laugh, to throw her off! :o ... That's what BEST FRIENDS are for, right? :P ... Naw I'm joking, I would NEVER do that! ;) :|] ... Or would I...? We'll see tomorrow! :P haha

And the rest of the day I expect to be studying for exams... yay...

/Sunday

And that's my weekend! :D

Salad of Paaaiiin!

Hmm So I started today expecting it to be completely terrible, completely terrible mood, and completely blanking out when it comes to school... And wouldn't you know that's how my day started! :o *Gasp!* "But Steve, that's impossible!" You say! Well Blaaaggh on you, yea, that's a whop-load of breath in your general direction. ?

Chapter 2! Music up the day... Yo.

So after the groggy, grouchy class of Advanced Java (not nearly as delicious as it sounds) I go to my next class, which has homework due midnight tonight, don't worry I got it done and submitted it! But figuring out how to finish it today while listening to music, mostly TobyMac really brought up my mood, so there I am thinking "Hey! Maybe I can make something of today yet!" And that's that. Or maybe not. But it's definitely maybe not this!

Chapter 3! Dang Salmon Sammich!

So for lunch my mom decided to challenge me with a salmon sammich, and it was terrible! There was salmon bits ALL over the floor (Well just a few, but that's from laughing from my friends making fun of me cause of my "condition" :o , insensitive jerks! :P) They wouldn't stop with the threats to eat chips and chew gum just because it's hard for me to eat! :( But I showed them when I RIPPED a piece of gum out of my friend's hand before he could unwrap it, then I proceeded t ounwrap it, then I proceeded to chew it. HAH! Not really, I just asked him for a piece because there's this really terrible perpetual taste of death in my mouth from the gooey gums in my mouth, because THOSE were RIPPED open and had things (a.k.a. teeth) ripped out from them. But AFTER The salmon sammich of death, I had not one, but TWO apple sauce cups! Those berry kind, yes... Those were DELICIOUS! And blah blah, no more highlights from lunch, cliffhanger...

Chapter 4! Class, No Class, Home!

And that's the end of that. Or maybe not, had a class, which was a work period, then the next class the instructor was away, so I went home.

Chapter 5! SALAD OF PAIN!

So I decided I wanted to have some salad for supper, and there was sloppy joes, so I staretd with salad... The cucumber pieces were okay, but the rest of it, my mouth was screaming at me everyonce in a while, but I ignored that obviously and FINISHED MY DANG SALAD (of pain)!
And then I ate the sloppy joe's, but who cares, I didn't even have that in a bun, because I didn't want to ruin sloppy joe's for the rest of my life.. Let's just say Sloppy Joe's - Bun != Sloppy Joe's anymore, it's just meat sauce, on your plate, staring at you and not being greenhoused by the bun, which is lame, because then it gets cold.. and gross... but whatever, it's all in my stomach now, and now I'm debating on whether I should get some more chocolate pudding, or have some Ice cream with yogurt... yumm... or one THEN the other! then the petit... no futurama references there. :)

Chapter 6! Blank Chapter!


Chapter 8! What happened to Chapter 7??

Seriously, where'd it go?

Chapter 7! Oh there it is!

This is getting out of hand.

*EDIT* THIS POST IS NOT BORING, EVEN WHEN I MENTION SHENANIGANS! :P

It's a Facepalm day!

So tired... Have to do homework... listening to music... talking to people... don't know what to put here, but I'm just going to keep typing anyways and see how much I can fit in here!

How nice of you to ask! I'm waiting for...

Clarissa's party on the 20th
LBE on the 21st
Youth Harborview on the 27th!
Youth on March 6th (30 hr famine sign up and YC promo)

...On a completely separate note, I feel like I could pass out any second, goodness everything is so blurry this weekend! Hopefully I'll be able to survive this week of school!

Wow, my posts are so random, I have no structure what so ever!

Hmm...

What else to put..

I guess the only thing left to put is..

Hmmm... Part 2!

Well, Today, being as weird as it is, turned out to be pretty good, talking to Shenanigans really fixed my day! :P Haha, She's quite good at that! As well as talking to other friends, and listening to Kj-52 - Revenge of the Nerds almost the whole day!

/post

Hmm...

So LBE was a no go, did go to a movie later with friends though, I'm feeling alot better than I originally thought I would before getting my teeth pulled.. So that's just the conclusions of last post..

Today just feels so dead, and empty, I mean, I can't even listen to music without it sounding dull right now, I'm quite tired and I dunno, I just don't feel like myself, must be one of those days..

Anyhow I don't really know what to post, I don't even know why I'm posting.. Must be a random happening of an event in the void of minds through the door of "What?", or something like that!

Is it weird that I'm writing a blog that I'm not telling anyone about? Meh...

Boring.. Boring.. AND SUDDENLY VERY PAINFUL!

I foresee this week to be boring and annoying, boring being school, until Wednesday, then a mini-break (thank you student association, FIGHT THE POWWA!) then Thursday who knows, and Friday, dun dun duhdaaa! Getting these horrendous wisdom teeth pulled! (Or foolish teeth, i like to say :) "Ooohh Funny guy, Steve!") But yes, perhaps Saturday I will have recovered enough to be able to go to Living Bible Explorers! I'm planning on going, I don't care if my mouth will be a little sore, I wanna help! The Shenanigans better be true to her word and make sure to pick me up! If not... I will be a very sad person! :( ... Haha but I know she will!

Hmm.. what else to write in this scary looking box that is staring at me oh so intently?... Hmm..

Well..
School stinks, that's a given
Teeth getting pulled sucks, that's a given
Exams are coming up, which sucks... also a given..

...and then very suddenly!

Church: Marie Ens - Place Of Rescue

So today at church we had a speaker, Marie Ens, talking about what she does in Cambodia, helping families and orphans and such, and the whole time I was thinking and wondering if I could maybe in the next few years go down and help out there? It would be great to be able to help out with the childrens orphanage, or possibly since I'm taking a computer course, help out with teaching computer skills to the children. Who knows what God has planned, maybe he'll send me there, maybe not!

Tonight Pt. 2

Hmm, not much for words, why did I start this blog? I think just for the name, but anyhow:

As I mentioned I feel very different tonight, I feel like, I've answered a call, and I've changed completely from it, indubitably to stay? I also feel like I'm going to speak up, metaphorically of course, I'm done with whispering, with keeping my voice down, I don't really know I guess, I'm sick of sitting in the back row, wondering why I can't bring myself onto the court, and kicking myself constantly.

There's probably more on my mind, but I am extremely tired.

After Youth: Coffee with friends... that was interesting.. gut-pain from laughter, good times... Questionable, but good! Haha, "Bad Haircut!" :P

:)

/post

Tonight

So tonight, I feel changed, in one fell swoop, no time for details, I may post later...
It's not easy to describe, but it's a good thing.

Today was: Youth Connect - Missionfest

And it was great, but it felt really short, maybe we arrived late? Most likely...
