I finished my first day of 5 day club yesterday, ya, I know, I know, you are saying to yourself then why the heck is she writing about it now and not yesterday.. Well I have a perfectly good explanation for that. I couldn't kick anyone off the computer so that I could put my painfully optimistic opinions and thoughts in writing yesterday, and now is the first chance I have gotten to write on the computer without having to reenact world war two with one of my siblings to see who gets the computer.... anyways I am trailing off subject.
My first day of 5 day clubs was yesterday and it went really well.. the kids were cute, I got through my part without making TOO many mistakes.. and overall it was a good club. The only thing is- now I REALLY miss the people from Christian Youth In Action.. There is just something about studying for the Bible story and attempting to memorize like a jabillion pages of script that reminds you of camp and makes you miss everyone.... (sniff) (sniff)
on the subject of missing people, do you think anyone from camp would get upset over me kidnapping them for a day or two? I mean I don't think their parents would get TOO upset would you??? hmmmmmmmm its something to think about :D :D :D

she was joking, right???
I have been thinking lately about what it is going to be like this fall when I join "the other teenagers" and actually start going to school...
my sister and I were talking about this the other day and she helped me come up with this Acronym for high school
H- hurling
I-into
G-great
H-helpless
S-social
C-catastrophe
H-hoping
O-only
O-of
L-living
I am hoping and praying she was just kidding around and wasn't hinting in her own way what I should expect this fall....
on a different subject today was the last day of VBS and it was AMAZING!! I LOVE THE KIDS!!! the only downside is now I miss them :( and its kind of sad to think I won't see them again (sigh) :( oh well..
anyways all the kids were great, except one kid who decided it was her solemn duty the whole week to do the exact opposite of what I what I asked her. Apparently she didn't understand the meaning of no. She seemed to get some sort of pleasure out of seeing if she would make me slowly but surely go crazy...
and I am happy to say say she didn't succeed in her goal... even if I do develop a sudden and very severe eye twitch whenever ..."her"... name is mentioned. But, I am sure I will get over it soon...

Drama... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I looked up the definition of drama in the dictionary today, and came out with this result.
Definition: "A composition in prose or verse presenting in dialogue or pantomime a story involving conflict or contrast of character, especially one intended to be acted on the stage."
This definition is true, but, to any middle aged or high school student, this may be closer to what you think:
Definition: the act of conflict, confusion, and usually petty fighting...and if your a girl, having at least one boy-crush involved is practically mandatory.
now in my opinion there are two people in this world,
1. The kind that embrace drama, they thrive on the thrill of it, and at the mention of it, and head full on into the conflict all the while grinning to themselves...
And then you have the other kind of people...
2. The kind that at the smallest sniff of drama proceed to run from the room screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the top of their lungs while heading to the nearest Mexican border....
oh ok I guess there is three kinds of people, there is also the people that get stuck in the middle of the drama... all the while clutching there foreheads, popping aspirin like candy, and begging for mercy and perhaps a strait jacket or three...

last Saturday my brother-in-laws brother died of cancer... and ever sense then I have really been thinking about death, heartbreak, and about how many people have died or committed suicide lately... it seams that the past year a lot more people have been committing suicide, or maybe its just a lot more people I have known have...
Its hard to think that living was so bad for someone that they would take their own life, because they just couldn't handle living anymore...
I makes me really glad that I know the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior and that he will always be there for me, no matter how hard life gets... I have been thinking lately about the verse in the Bible that says that God will never give you more trials than you can bear, and that is really comforting to me.
I know this post has gone back to sorta depressing lol and is more serious than I usually write about but oh well :)

basketball and other things...
A friend told me that my blog is slightly depressing. So I am going to try to write about more happy subjects and avoid subjects IN THIS POST that are depressing hehehe :)
On that note, I will talk to you about SHOPPING :D hours and hours of shopping, store after store, without so much as a water break (sigh.) :) Now ,to you boys who are reading this, (upon picturing this scenario have developed a very sudden eye twitch), You will live :p
I went shopping with my sister last week, we went to a bunch of shops and had TONS of fun. We also watched Transformers and I have to say it was much better than the 2nd one...
Now basketball, so I started a four day basketball quick-handle camp yesterday, and I love it. I have learned a lot and have improved since just yesterday.
Today we scrimmaged and I just want to you to picture this, "The other team has the ball at the top of the court coming down to their basket, you think they are going to pass to the man you are guarding, so you move away a little bit so that the person with the ball might take the hint and try to pass to your man, and thats what happens, you intercept the pass and start to sprint to your basket... only to trip over a very small 9 year old who was behind your man that you didnt see and fall flat on your face."
Yep, I have to say that is about my basketball skills summed up in one paragraph...

Excercise and all that misery...
So to give you a good description of what I think of running, I will paint a picture of what I think running would be if it had a face. I think it would be a cackling, grinning, idiot minus a common sense of courtesy. Are you getting a picture yet? As it is, we have an interesting relationship: I go running every day and it never fails to get in a few sinister laughs, as I attempt to get into some kind of shape other than round...
Now to all of you who are in shape, love running, and cant get this picture... I envy you.. you don't know the pain, the suffering, the agony, of the rest of us as we pant out a mile of jogging all the while repeating to ourselves, it will all be worth is in the end... it will all be worth it in the end... yet when we get to the end, the only thing we have is a healthy dose of hostility for exercise and a singeing glare for anyone that is in our way to the nearest water...
