Entries this day: Tulsa-night tulsa-awake Tulsa night 1:03am Sunday 3 September 2000 Worship was an angel wash and then flower communion. For the angel wash, I saw many people ducking down below the hands before them. I simply closed my eyes and walked through without ducking. My thinking was that I trust this group enough to not hit me. Later, I found that Sean was very impressed with this. He said that everyone just raised up to let Rob through. I feel so honored by this group that I honor so much. For the flower communion, we each chose a flower (carnation) out of a big bucket. Then placed them into a fountain and stated what we give to the community. Many people said stuff like "love" "respect" " dignity" "hope".. Steve said, "Rocky raccoon". I said "Silent Football." now talent show is about to start. 1:26 am This is Nancy Pants last rally. She told her duck joke for the last time. Shira has taken the honor of telling the joke at future rallies. Now Ashley is reading The Adventures of Hardcore Bunny and the Hardcore Pants (or something), written by Annie and Illustrated by Nick. A line from the book: "And anyway, bunnies don't wear pants." Here is the bridge of the song written for Nancy: "nanoonancy look at nancy's pants
(Thanks to Sean for typing them for me) 2:27am I pretty much fell asleep for the rest of the talent show. Now we are collected for Silent Football. Nick is dictator. Here are some funny quotes from the game: "I will now describe the rules, which are needlessly complex and obtuse." "...the game starts with passing a sacred invisible tastelesss odorless football." "...In reverse order of mostness..." Here's the list of who played: Ian, Sean, Aaron, Laura, Ryan, Diane, Carrie, Kelyn, Lauren, Amelia, Elizabeth, Rob. We all went by Mr or Miss (first name) except for Ryan who was Mr Bunny. He was wearing huge balloon rabbit ears and carrot. 2:49am "If two entities lie between Mr Aaron and Mr Dictator, then Mr Aaron might have known that Mr Aaron could not have had the football" "Mr Dictator, endquote." 2:51am "I thank Ms Laura for being the first person to point out anything pointful." 2:54am "Actually Miss Elizabeth's actions are quite staraight forward, for Miss Elizabeth is eating cookies." "Mr Aaron, permit me to translate. When Mr Bunny says 'and I quote,' Mr bunny means 'and I quote.'" 3:05am "If a player does not commit a cold rush of air, then there is no limit to a player's fwappery." 3:07am "While Mr Bunny is not a physics major, parallel univii do not exist." "Hypothetical idiot savantry..." 3:15am "Mr Bunny is hereby given two univii." 3:22am "Miss Dianah is going straight to hell! with a walrus" 3:31am "If I choose to create a fiery pit of hell type annex, then I am perfectly free to do so." 3:53am "Mr Universe, I have 4 and 1/2 penance points" "Due to the fact that Miss Dianahs error was funny as shit, Miss Dianah will get away with that one." 3:56am Mr Bunny has committed the heinous crime of shrodeming a shrug and thus loses the game. 4:09 am We're about to play a second game of Silent Football with me as dictator. Sean is describing the Silent Football game from New Orleans. 4:25am New game begins ??? as "High Priestess"
4:45am Reverand Phat Pat Patty Smack Giv a Dog a Bone is trying to recite Little Bunny Foo Foo 4:52am Christina et al tried to fuck up the game and Pat threw a can and hit someone in the head. Then they ran off screamng. 5:01am Christina and others just came in again and I tried to tell them gently but I think I made her mad. 5:24am "Maestro Stiffy Chips" 5:28am "Mr Phat Pat Pattysmack Give a Dog a Bone will receive penance points for not remembering Senor Silent Roberta's error and Mr Chair will recieve 1/2 of one penance points for making noise. 5:32am The game ends in a fit of giggles tulsa awake 7:06am Sunday 3 September 2000 Wake up is rough. but okay. 8:53 am This is Nancy's last rally. Many of the youth of our two vans would like to stay for a bit longer and eat at Denny's with Nancy et al. I believe that none of the youth necessarily want to go home immediately. However, Evelyn is astonishingly passionate about not going to Denny's. "We advisors make such a committment and give so much of ourselves and" and all this bullshit lumping advisors into one pile. I'm so sad and angry that she's being such a fucking goddamn bitch about it. I hope she never drives with any youth to a rally again. 9:15 am I was sitting talking (cooling off) with Susie about it, and Debbie yelled for us to joing the closing circle. We're out at closing circle now. 9:48 am Hugs and now tumbled into the van. 9:56 am Driving now. Tanner is pacing beside us. But I think he cannot see in because of tinted windows on the van. 10:55 am Ryan is starting a game of Silent Football. 11:54 am They're still playing; Rick is still driving, I have been sleeping, and Christina has been trying to sleep, but grumbles some variation of "shut up" when they are loud. Since a new semester is beginning at KTRU, the KTRU schedule will have some empty shifts in the wee hous of the night. I am considering asking for permission to simply recite the rules to Silent Football as I normally say them so I can record them for Sean. 12:17 pm We've been taking a different route back to Houston; we'll ultimately end up on highway 59. Many many small towns with 45 mph sections and stop lights. Way slower than on the way up here I am certain. Someone is named Talkie Talkie Robbie Robbie in the Silent Football game. Very silly. 12:38 pm We are in Caddo Oklahoma, stopped at Dairy Queen. The Silent Football game is still going strong. 1:50 pm Now we're on the road again and we've done some seat switching so I'm in the back back back seat with Amanda and Christina. Amanda says: Has anyone ever seen a squirrel take a shit? (...) 2:49 pm Nicole just braided her hair. Patrick hasn't eaten any bugs on this trip. Christina and Amanda relayed the story about the roadies at the show last night. 3:43 pm I just woke up. The whole van was sleepin' except for Rick and Lacy. We're at mile marker 260 and just happened to stop for gas. I'll probably drive now. 4:10 pm On the road again... Ryan is telling cow knock knock jokes over the walkie talkies. Phat Pat took Amy's seat in the other van, Christina just heard from Amy. I'm still greatly considering driving up to Northwoods each week to be advisorly with them. 5:25 pm Sitting in the back of the van I hear much more interesting stories. 5:28 pm Colleen and I are throwing stuff back and forth. She's in the front bench seat. 6:33pm We just looked through a bunch of pics taken by Ryan, .. many from SWUUSI and from his trip to Europe this summer. (Amersterdam and Germany and Paris Rick has driven the entire way home. Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow. The most interesting thing about that is Rick drove Fred, Mike and I to and from Dallas Rally 1990. I think. So thankful then and so thankful now. At our last stop, a trailer of cattle was parked near our van. Nicole got out to say HI to them, but couldn't decide if they were nice cows that she could pet. 6:37pm Nicole is unbraiding her hair (that she braided a couple of hours ago) and Ryan is layering it with Amy's. 6:39 pm We just passed mile marker 100 on I-45 south 6:47 pm Christina is being easily entertained by the zipper on her backpack. 6:51 pm We are stopped again to let two youth go pee. We are so close to being back! 8:06 pm We are parked in the parking lot by the church Pretty much everyone has paid up except for a couple of youth and I have high hopes for getting that money. Last time I drove, I ended up paying for part of the van. 8:47 pm Home. Shower. I haven't yet changed clothes this weekend, much less showered, including the whipped cream pies in my face and hair, including the dunking tank. (but I did rinse off the whipped cream before being dunked) |
