Happy FRIDAY!!!!

I love today! Jollity, frollity, physics, WeCi, speech, gleefulness. Then, dancing, mucho funno, I was most impressed in how quickly this group masters dances, and with what enthusiasm they do it! After dancing, we went and looked at the super huge horses at the Expo Center, with Jordan and camera in tow. Umhm, after that we went to de Reese's house to drop off Bethany for the Girl's Night thingy over there. My appearance caused a general congregation of partiers, so there began a loud and disjointed chat around me-wrapped-in-large-blue-blanket (I was cold, alright!)which ended at the call of supper, at that point, after a cuddly moment in my blanket, the unwelcome; ie male, members of the group (which consisted of me and Nick) departed to our secluded un-partyish places. For me, that was Wal-Mart. There I met up with Brandon Miller and David(last name unknown), and had a happy and fully random chat whose focus ranged far and wide and included homeschooling, bone-to-bone punches, jail time, legal marriage age, dating, and much, much more. I love random conversations in the store.
When I returned home, a rather exciting time awaited me. The request was packaged cleverly to sound like a mere nothing "Could you fill up Roxy's water buckets? They're almost empty " "Su...." "And oh by the way, your flashlight is almost dead" So I go out there into the night; apparently my conquering of fear of the dark is somewhat conditional, in other words, my claims of recent victory over darko phobia, were fallacious and yeah, she wasn't kidding about the imminent demise of the flashlight, by the way. So, I'm out in the dark woods, with a flashlight that turns on periodically, and there's many strange rustles in the night. But, I pressed forward despite my fears, since I'm a man now. And, I came to a fresh obstacle. Although one bucket was out on the ground in front of the stall, the other was in the back of the stall. There began a delightful conversation between me and myself.... And the horse. Me: "Me go in YOUR stall, with YOUR poop, and YOU, and get that bucket; I don't know if I'm up to this." Myself: "Hmm, what? I was asleep." Horse: Scornful silence. I opted to fill up the OUTSIDE bucket first. Then I suddenly had a stroke of genius, "Hey horsy, I wonder if Bethany would think it was a good idea for me to pour water from this bucket to that bucket through this hole in the stall." If I hit the flashlight hard enough, and with enough repetition, it would shine a decent beam, with this not-so-dependable-light to give me guidance and help, I managed to do the clever plan I just layed out for you, I then filled the other bucket and went back inside. Not, however, without getting very, very wet. It was quite cold. Bethany, you are made of sterner stuff then I, I'm a mere mortal.
I just watched Sahara, and all I can say about that is, in my life story, I'm gonna be the hero and NOT the sidekick!

I am finally leaving you a comment. I have been a silent lurker for so long that my eyes are having to adjust to the sudden daylight. I step hesitantly out of the shadows!

Why don't you want to be a sidekick? They add comic relief and get to be funny. I happen to have a soft spot for sidekicks.

actually spiffy, being screamed at by a bobcat would make me think i had more reason to be afraid than i ever imagined.

evan, you were definitely playing the role of a hero when you filled those water buckets. good job.

That last part, Spiffy, is what I meant.

Either your hearing or your memory is astoundingly selective Spiffy. And your quote of me was taken far out of context, also, but we won't get into that on a public forum, to avoid bringing embarrassment to you.

I am the first girl commented. Ha! We have finally all returned from the party. We all had a blast, and we didn't miss ya'll's male company the tiniest, weensiest bit. Evan, you would like to think that you were the one who started the party off well.

Cada, I don't know exactly what you are referring to, but the Bible says something about Evil
staying in the dark because the light exposes it, and that Men who sin cling to the darkness, or something. And also something about men crawling in caves. Creepy. I dunno.

Whoah, I didn't read all of the comments before I postd that last comment. Let me join this thread.

Steffen should definitely be the bad guy...shall we say typecasting? But cut the Darth Vador thing, that totally doesn't work.

Ahhhh, teenage boys are crazy. I'm not sure it is appropriate to be talking (typing?) like that. I AM sure that the sidekick still gets a girl, and that the sidekick and the hero shouldn't be wasting their energy fighting about the girls. It doesn't earn you any points. In fact, it subtracts points. I am a girl, after all. *cough cough* but wait a second. Not trying to say here that I've had experience with the whole "sidekick gets the girlfriend/hero gets the girlfriend" thing. This comment is not turning out the way I wanted it to. Darn.

Is my comment longer than Wolf's?

Just to make sure I shall say a few more things.

I was hoping that whoever got the Impromptu speech topic choice of that quote by Eleanor Roosevelt would choose that one. Alas, but nay. The quote was "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"

It was used in The Princess Diaries. Also in that movie was a really great quote by Ambrose Redmoon, I believe: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important."

The movie wasn't all good, though. Mia makes some bad choices...but not as bad as she does in the sequel...anyways.

Ha! I am loving this stream of conversations. I find it rather amusing.

The sidekick may indeed get a girl.....but noone ever hears about it so in essence....he doesn't.
Sidekicks are essential, however, I would not want to be one either.


Steffen....just...just...I dunno.

Evan you'd like to think a party gathered because of you. I suppose it's partly true, but I don't think that all the girls would have just started swarming around you had I not tilled the ground and started talking to you first. After that, they knew everything was safe. So there! (heh heh heh)

Spiffy,
Evan talks about girls all the time. I mean he does talk about you after all.

(hahaha sorry making cheap shots now)

Over and out.

Whoa, I am so out of the loop -- should I even comment?

Evan, it is sinful for you to have so many comment after so short a time. Send some over to my blog. You da mon.

Cada, in response to your comment, the girls made pitiful circles and I was quite ashamed of them, seeing as I was, in general, there in 2 seconds. BUT, I shall take a bit longer next week, as the person I was standing next to did not want to dance with me at all. Yes, we were defeated.
