Entries this day: Plano_rally Saturday Silent_Football going_home Plano rally 2:09 am Saturday 31 March 2001 I've been pretty good with name recognition after perusing the Houston Rally 2001 mugbook earlier today. The ride up here was pretty simple. We stopped once for P purposes and then I got wacked out when Wende called me just as I was about to take 75 and was like, 'no don't take 75; take 35!' I got off track therefore and we stopped at a gas station to see where we were supposed to go. I was right. 75 goes in to Plano. In fact, I remembered exactly how to get here! I'm actually getting pretty tired; I don't know if I'll stay up for opening circle. Of course I will. - - - - Now, thanks to Eliiizabeth for shaving my hair!! - - - - I showed Sean the magic color changing frisbee and had him guess at how it's magic. He will certainly be in awe tomorrow. 2:57 am At opening circle now: Sean: 'We are the Gnarly Gnats!' Crowd: yayy!!! Ryan: 'But Gnat starts with a G!' Sean: so does Gnarly! Crowd: OOoooooohhhhhhhahahahahahaah!! - - - - Frank Roesler speaking for Matt with Matt's arms under Frank's armpits beng funny. 3:40 am We are in touchgroups now and have played the describe-your-scars game. Now we are doing a brown bag skit - we receive a bag of some random objects and have to make a skit that uses them all. For the record, I am really fuckin' tired. 4:13 am These skits are widely varied and entirely wack. 4:28 am We just did our skit. I was a gypsy, apparently female at first until I removed the crystal ball from under my shirt.. "Thanka there!" my voice turned gruff, "the crystal ball was kiinda squishin' the packaging.." 4:31 am Bedtime for me now. Yay skits!! Saturday 8:16 am I've been up about 15 minutes. Cassie asks, "is your entire life on that thing?" and she says: 'Frio,' I remind her. Steve asks if I am taking notes of people's conversations. kevin F says: 10:42 am Social Action was cleanup of the nearby elementary school. However, there was very little trash on the yard. Most of the youth played on the playground and I helped Cassie and Steve collect some scrap metal. Then I played on the equipment, doing hip circles and one knee circles (gymnastics), and a small luge and climbing up the slide and remembering Jena's full name. 11:33 am Outside by the big field I engaged in preliminary discussion with Annie, Ryan, Lilly, Sean, me about power shuffle. I think we will all come to a mutual agreement! now ultimate! 6:37 pm The field was pretty treacherous on my feet. I have just now washed them and I can feel the sting from a small gash on the arch of my foot. We played ultimate for about 1 hour only I'm guessing. Super sunny and absolutely perfect weather. the field was mostly covered in grass, but a few thistles and some sections of reeds that really stabbed my feet when I ran through them. Everyone played well, especially Hillary, who caught at least 4 or 5 points in the endzone! (hhaha!! Someone just said 'false' while wrasslin' around in the hall! Yay false!) We have just had 4 or 5 hours of YAC meeting. My last one of the year. This meeting was punctuated with uproar about The Power Shuffle at SWUUSI (we decided to make it every other year, and proactively work to convince the district board that it's a great thing) and disrespect issues, starring Elizabeth and Christina. I think all of that is worked out (until we get to OKC rally at which they both may be.) Sean Bibby has been acting weird just after the meeting. He was hiding something from me; I wonder what they have planned...... I'm excited!! :-) The phuufing indicated above is apparently Elizabeth's first in YRUU, and she's a senior! 7:49 pm 31-3-01 YAC elections now, and Sean and Laura and Rick just presented a cool ass Magic Rob briefcase with happy notes in it from the YAC. Wow! For 4 years of YAC service, a lovely magic briefcase! That is totally tight! And, Robbie gave me his rallly shirt that he painted 'Rob' on. So fun! Laura C showed me how to braid with 4 strands of pipe cleaners. I got about 1/3 way done with a length of pipe cleaners and got lost in the colors and links. Laura finished it for me. Ridiculous! 8:35 pm In the cry-room adjacent the sanctuary, with singing occasionally fed through the speaker, and Beastie Boys 'Girls' played outside, I read all the written votes while Sean verified I read them correctly and Elizabeth and Karen tallied the votes. I was correct on predicting who would win: ashley jackie richard 9:01 pm Bittersweet feelings in my being as I'm chillin' before my last YAC meeting. This will be relatively short - it's the turnover meeting, after which Elizabeth and I will play Silent Football, and maybe Silent Foot Ball. 10:45 pm Wow. YAC is embarking on their new tenure, and I am no longer on YAC. 12:03 am Elizabeth and Chris (Mr Sexy) and Rebecca (Miss Snowcone) and I (Thunder Rabbit) played Silent Football with Elizabeth as dictator. The game was in the corner of the hallway of Plano church aand wwas odd ecause she alllowed us to fwap either direction and and we could look outside the circle. During the game, Laura gave me a note and got me a bag to make as a note bag thing. After the game, I had 1/2 + 1/10 penance points for a total of 3/5ths of a penance point. I'm sso tired as I write this.. oh, adI was sitting aagainst the wallll and fell asleepp and the yoouth were referring to mme only by pointiing. hee hee so cute, they. Worship now. 12:19 am The worship was a guided meditation and everyone fell asleep. except a couple people. Silent Football I basically slept entirely through worship. I'm sad that I missed Heidi's and Laura's poetry. They each asked me how I liked it. I had to admit, "I was asleep." Here are quotes from the Silent Football game, as typed by Lisa, dressed as Magenta from Rocky Horror. Except at the end where Sean and Heidi did some transcription. 2:05 am Nick says, "but Rob, I'm tired!!!" Ryan: "Woah someone's tired. let's rethink this thing." 2:46 am 45 mins to explain the rules. "What my sadly, sadly ignorant counterpart has failed to notice, is that '(fist of empowerment)' was not a zoom, but a fist of empowerment, and I reinterate, '(fist of empowerment.)" -- Mr. Incarnation of Evil in the Universe "Miss LaUUren is astounded at the amount of dick in this universe." "The player know as Incarnation of Evils of the universe, can be known as Mr. 1 to Jaquelin, Mr.2 to Kristen, Mr. 3 to Magenta, etc." "Mr. Dictator can say 'muchos gracias' instead of 'thank you' when thanking a player." "In situations when Mr. Dictator is making comments during other people's comments, Mr Dictator is allowed to use pronouns, because in such cases it is funny. Duh." "Miss Llama suggests to compensate for the large amount of dick in the universe by changing Miss LaUuren's name to Miss Vagina." "Mr. D suggests that Number 6 should be limited to the 10 word rule, to thus stop the spreading of the spreading of his cloven-hoof diesease. (It was noticed that Mr. D used the pronoun 'his')" "Miss Llama likes ball play. Miss Llama misses ball play and Miss Llama wants the ball playing to begin." "Mr. Dictator, can we give them tranquilizers?" "Ok, he's bending my shit." "Mr. D. is concerned by the growing number of Vageeganists." "Miss Llama is having to seek entertainment through Miss Vageegan through lack of ball play." "I was blessed as a young boy with a third eye and I can see thrice what the normal member can see." 3:46 am The game has finally begun "Miss Vageengan would like to point out that in the past dicks and vaginas have been friends." "Miss Vageengan would like to comment that one should not eat a lot of honey and V8, at the same time." 4:04 am The game resumed after another spell of debating commenced. "Mister Vageegan , Mr. Dictator, Miss Vageegan, is dyslexic." pronounced 'dicks'lexic "I would like to point out the irony in the last ball play, when Mister Lady Sleepy Jesus continually tried to enter Miss Vageegan, who continuaall refused." 'nailed' (Ms,Lama's crying consoled by Mr. Bad Guys suckling
of Ms.Lama's tits)
lama and no. 7 are making some weird noises over there!!--sean (prospective mating calls)--Heidi several times the zoom has ended up with nooo advance of the football but only with hilarious reprocussions-sean mr incarnation of the universe is limited to only 8 words ms. kristan randomly thinks that mr. dick (ben) looks like tom hanks....no one confirms this....... except my sister...ms. josephine.. mr. dick is now to be known as mr. tom hank's dick!! haha -sean double haha-heidi blown kisses exchanged btw Ms. Vagegan and Ms. Lama genious ms lama and ms vagen exchange a rattle from their half empty M&M bottles after every move hey make. multiple jokes about tom hank's dick ms lama is a cry baby mr.bad guy's expulsion of 'die' towrds Mr. Dictator ryan loses again. i personally enjoyed wearing my 3rd eye hat and zooming with one of my 3 eyes closed!! what a blast. my sister and kristen (fort worth) had a good first game. kinda boring at first but then it was one of my fav. ryan says that he loses on purpose because thats his place in the game. but he still lost. going home I'm leaving this entry in my March pile of entries to keep it with the rest of the Plano Rally) 5:09 am 01 April 2001 It's actually 6:09 am because of daylight savings time change. I'm pretty tired-ish. The game was great fun, but most of all, I'm thankful to the faithful recording job done mostly by Lisa/Magenta, with the last part recorded by Heidi and Sean. I don't know if it will be apparent where the change in typist occurred. I'm going to bed. 8:12am That was freaky to just now wake up and be in an empty room. Everyone else has moved all their stuff out of this room, leaving me sleeping on the table. (I started out sleeping on the table, so that part was not surprising. Just waking up in the empty room was surprising.) 8:34 am We're at IHOP now; I'm at Katie L, Lawren, and Michael A's table. We each paid $10 for $30.46 meal. I don't know who paid the 46 cents, but I know we left $10 on the table for tip. I slept pretty much all the way home. Susie (Katie and Meg's mom) drove our van back. Jeff drove the Yukon back. After we got back to Emerson church, cleaned out the vans and stuff, I drove Phat Pat and Sarah home. During that ride, Phat Pat said we should invent a version of Silent Football for the car. In 45 minutes, this is what we came up with: Silent Moose Balls est. 4-1-2001 2:48pm This version of the game is designed to be played in the car, or any place where the players are unable to see each other. The concept is that we are playing on Animal Farm. The Farmer can be called any variation of an animal worker (vet, rancher, farmer) then any color, then any animal. The silent football is actually a cow patty. The Farmer begins and ends each round. Players may move the cow patty with four offensive moves, the fwap, the zoom, the fwizap and the foom. By speaking "Yellow Bluejay fooms the cow patty to Frying Flying Squirrel." No pronouns, including personal pronouns while moving the cow patty. To refuse the cow patty, there are four words: No, False, Inaccurate, and Not. To refuse the refusal, the words are Yes, True, Accurate, and Anti-Not, respectively. Animals can be real or mythical, including all mythical creatures such as Leprechauns, Sasquatch, Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus. |
