HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year ya'll. Its an overcast day today, and yeah....
Every New Year's Eve, my church gets together, and has a New Year's Eve "party" where we have dinner, worship, and then play games. Dinner was fine. Worship was fine. Games...this is where the party is at.
There is this traditional game that our church plays. It's like that one game where you try to get all your guys around the board, and safe in "base." I forget the name, but that's what you do. Each team has 4 pieces, and you have to move the pieces around the board and back to safety. Pretty straightforward game. Well, our whole church got divided into 3 teams. And then we played. Since the whole church wasn't there, there were about 10-20 people per team.
There were a lot of elderly people there. As we started to play, there started to be small "fights" here and there on where the pieces should go and whether to move this piece or that piece, or whether the best move was to move that piece and leave that piece, blah blah blah. So alot of people were getting into it. The atmosphere was very friendly though, and there was a lot of laughing.
Then, gradually, some old grannies started to get REALLY into it. They would jump up, throw their canes down and run down to team leader about what move should be done. This was wild! I bet that was the most excersize any of them had had the whole year!
So that was fun, and then I went to sleep. At 11:00. I don't really get this whole deal about staying up till midnight. You just wake up really late the next day, and feel really tired. And your bones ache. Unless of course you were drinking the night before. Then your bones ache and you have a hang over.
Well, Happy New Year. Hope you all have a great 2006 year. It's gonna be hard labeling by papers and homework with "2006." I usually forget, and use the previous' year for about 2 months.
