Ad-Hocrisy

Greetings:

I realize that it's been a REALLY long time since I last posted, but I figured that I finally have something big enough to write about. Tonight was one of the most unplanned nights of my life (that I can remember anyway).

This morning, we went to church, the messages are finally getting back around to the guys. Although I've been getting stuff out of the sermons, they've mostly been aimed at the women.

Anyway. With my sister's graduation coming up and all, Dad and Mom are really busy. There was talk of not going to church tonight (which greatly disappointed me). However, I simply remained calm and accepted the fact. After a patiently waiting (though not giving up hope), Dad finally suggested that he drop me off at church at the last minute. I heartily agreed.

Two of my younger sisters wanted to go to church, too, so I was in charge of them. Not a very hard task actually. Our pastor is starting a series on Acts. We got through who wrote it, the outline, and the fact that Luke gives progress reports throughout the thing, but that was it.

After church I was invited to a Bible study at our youth leader's house, when Dad got to church to pick me up, I asked if I could go. He agreed. So, we headed over there. The Bible study was good, too. It was about applying what the Bible tells us. There was a lot more than that, but I can't go into all of that here. We had a few side discussions, but there are some people who read this blog that might take offense. Check out Formerly Dead, because I might post on it there.

When the Bible study was over, I went outside and showed everyone how a magnesium striker works. I have a slight fascination with magnesium and all other things pyrotechnic. HeheheheJ.

Here's where the Ad-Hocrisy (I borrow that from my dad) really started. Apparently, a couple of girls in had wanted to have a "party" at their house, so they invited everyone to their house for a completely impromptu pizza party. I was also invited, so I called my dad to see if it would be alright, he didn't answer his cell phone. I called the house and but he had already left to pick me up. I got his blackberry number and called that. No answer. Almost despairing, I handed the phone back to the girl I'd borrowed it from. Just then I saw our van coming down the road. As soon as my dad pulled in the driveway, a friend and I… I hate to say "attacked him", but that's a good word for it. Anyway, we asked if I could go. The question was followed by a bit of persuasion, but he finally agreed. I rode with this friend and his sister (who, oh-by-the-way had just gotten her license a week ago.)

During the party, KenZ got a couple of phone calls from her parents. Apparently, they weren't ok with her driving other people around quite yet. I got in slight trouble over that one... but only slight.

To make a long-ish story short, my dad came and picked me up around 10:40, and I went home. As I said before, none of this was planned at all. We were going to stay home all night. I definitely think it was better this way though. It was a good experience. The one major thing I learned from it though is: I really need to start carrying my cell phone!

Anyway, I'll be posting. (hopefully more often, too.)

Just a little busy

Greetings:

Sorry about the long pauses between posts, but I’ve been, shall we say, rushed. I know ahead of time that this week would be a very busy, but I didn’t realize just how busy.

Monday was the slowest day all week. All I had to do was schoolwork. Backspace, which went OK.

On Tuesday, thing sped up a bit. I went down to speech club, which lasted the majority of the day. By the time that was over, we had to go to Springfield to try to get something to eat. We met dead at the restaurant eight and headed down to Cedarville for Emily’s piano recital. We did get home until 9:00 at which time, I had a good bed in order to wake up early the next morning.

I woke up at 645 on Wednesday. We loaded up the van and headed to the home of women in our home school group to two end of the year testing there were only a few of the people there includingBumpas and Bugsbee. The testing session was supposed to last from 830 to 330, but the three of us older kids decided to go a little later said that we would have to come back the next day, which worked out very well. Up, damaged the Wednesday was my birthday?

Throughout this whole week, I’ve been trying to fix some of the issues on my sister’s computer. It is a laptop with the docking station. It also had some speakers with a USB Power Supply (that’s just weird). The USB Power Supply messed up the whole talking stations set up and IE could not get any sound out of it.

Thursday I stayed at home. They! Mike Littman room and help and my mom and my sister with a scrapbook that they were making for my eagle scout court of one. The scrap that they’re working on, they made it one day, that’s quite a feat.

Friday was preparation for my eagle scout court of honor. The whole day was filled with driving to church and back. I think I got nearly an hour of driving time in. The COH went well, although I think it could have been smoother. But, they always can be. After we get the church cleaned up I came home and open cards and presents. I got some really cool stuff including a book on eagle scouts from my scout master, an engraved pocketknife from my parents, and a ” 5-in-1 measuring tape”, and a bunch of other stuff. Then I crashed.

Today, I woke up ealy-er. Worked outside cut down a tree, stacked the wood, listen to threats that I’d have to split it all, etc. Right now, I’m just waiting around for supper. After that, I get to have my birthday (ya, we were too busy on Wednesday, so we had to reschedule it). That’s all that I can think to say.

Just one more thing, I’m writing this one my sister’s new computer. It’s a Vista OS, so it has the special voice reconition system and all that. It hasn’t learned my voice perfectly yet, and I wasn’t watching, so please forgive any mistakes it might have made in the dictation.
