(Non)Iceskating January 12, 2008

Posted by Anya in : spontaneous degeneration , trackback

Warning:  This post is liable to be mostly very boring, because it’s just about what I did this evening.  Don’t feel obliged to read it.   

No, sorry, I did not feel like iceskating.  C’mon.  I just rollerbladed on New Year’s, and am finally no longer black and blue…  but I could go and hang out, so I did.  (Youth group type party, although there were a good number of younger sibs there too.  And older sibs.  And… yes.  You get the idea.) 

For a while I hung out in the ice rink with Emily and Kristen and various other people as they got tired and came over to take a break.  But then I got tired of the coldness, darkness, noise, and strobe-type lights, so I moved into the other room we had.

I spent quite a while talking with BenDavid… it had been too long and we had a lot to catch up on as he is ready to graduate next semester.  Aaaaaah… I was at his graduation party!  It doesn’t seem that long ago!  He is extremely talkative once you get him started, which I tend to forget, because other than that, he’s quite quiet. 

Then Richard and I stood in the corner of the room for a while, but we didn’t really manage to come up with anything to talk about… we probably used up our laugh quota for the week on Wednesday.  Oh well.  There was an exciting minute or two when a guy tried to deliver pizza… Richard and I were happy… but then it was pointed out to him that we had not ordered any pizzas… much less 16… and he took them away.

Richard:  *face falls*

me:  “What?!?  When someone offers you pizza, you should never refuse!”

Richard:  “But he would have been back, expecting us to pay for it.”

Logic.  It gets you every time. 

And I had been joking…

After the devotional and hanging around with Marah, Aubrey, and the two Chinese girls who knew a bit of English, I ended up getting involved in a game of Apples to Apples.

That was fun.

Mrs. U: “We say that if you get the card, it describes you!”

Mrs. K:  “Yes Suzanne.  You SO just made that up.”  (Mrs. U had the green card Awesome.)

Mrs. U:  *looks at my cards*  “Well, those pretty much describe you.  Except for clueless.”

I had picked up Clueless from Samwise with Greenpeace.  Woohoo!  :)

Let’s see.  Samwise won Chewy from me with Bad Dogs.  (The cards were lame.  Bad Dogs cracked me up, and they’re chewy in the sense that they chew, right?  Any of my really long term readers remember when Antion got chewed up by their dog?) 

We also found that BenDavid thinks too much.  The rest of us threw our cards in… and BenDavid’s sitting there considering… and pondering… and we finally told him to quit thinking and put one in already!

Samwise, it seems, loves having his picture taken.  He was posing for me.  As making an apple juice ad.  Yeah.  ;)

Annnnd go figure.  Amidst all the pop (soda-pop… soda…) we took an apple juice.

Samwise:  “LOOK!  It’s APPLE JUICE!”

Andrew:  “APPLE JUICE????  I love apple juice!”

:D

Ooh, yeah.  I also won Miserable from Samwise with Israel. 

Sam:  “Well… if you think about the Old Testament…”

me:  :)  “I thought you would.”

Sam:  “We’ve just been reading Ezekiel…”

me:  “Yep, I thought you’d be there.”

Funness.

Aubrey took our picture, but chopped off half of her head in the first try.  She still looked better than I did!  Does being un-photogenic qualify as a disability?  *sigh*  But she was happy with the picture, so it was good.

And I’m now tired of typing, so goodnight.  :)

“Does being un-photogenic qualify as a disability?”

Thankyou for putting my long un-expressed pain into words. If I credit you, may I quote? :-P I always look ten times as ugly in a photo than I do in the mirror. (And I don’t look that great in the mirror either!) And it *is* a disability! These photos are sent to family members overseas who never see me otherwise. Like it or not, people do judge by appearances…and I look like a grinning chimpanzee in most of my photos. :-P But I try not to think about it too much. ;-) After all, it is better to look like a happy chimpanzee than look like a terribly depressed super-model. :-D :-D

Hi!

Those are really cool Latin phrases. Not in this post, but in the last one - I think that’s where it was. My favorite is the ‘You cannot say that in Latin’ Did you come up with all of those yourself?

I’m glad you liked that poem. I plan on using it for my book - if I ever finish my book. I have a habit of revising it over and over and over again so I’m not getting very far.

Anyway, today I bought a 800 page volume of Sir Walter Scott’s poems and so I am really looking forward to reading that.

I had a longer comment written out, but then I lost it, and I don’t have time to rewrite it, so that’s all for now.

Lets keep on trying to talk on IM! I’ll call if I see you’re on.

Sincerely,

Raora
