Daily Update

On Friday we went to see the Fantastic Four-Silver Surfer movie. I liked it, it was fun. I've talked to others who didn't like it though. But thats always the case. After that we went to Greenfield. As we were waiting for j & j to arrive, they called from the store and told Trisha to ask me if I was up for some minor 'experimentation'. Not knowing what to expect, with hesitation and a veto power reservation, I agreed. Then after a short deliberation, they mentioned, "what hair color do you like?", and "Have you ever straightened your hair?" Oh boy. But them asking an apartment full of girls who already had the tools/devices for straightening hair, they got super excited and decided to 'fix' my hair before the others got there. I think Joyce was ready to straighten before I got off the phone with them. She said the smoke coming from the straightening iron was normal. It smelled like burning. At first it went straight up and all over the place, like a punk rocker. then into a mohawk. It was interesting to say the least. I think I looked like a dork, but whatever.

Saturday was full of more adventures. I actually got up early (9:45) and tried to help at the ward-building clean-up service-project, but I was to late, uh... oops. From there I rushed over to Veteran to see if Jordans girlfriend was still making breakfast; turns out they were only 'making-out' so I left. I went on some house walk-thru's with Jeff & Josh. It was fun. From there josh had the brilliant idea to get uniforms for our ward softball team at Ross. So we went shopping. Yes, we were late to a game because we were shopping. But we found some Brilliant shirts! I got a shirt, light blue, long sleeved, that says "I'm kind of a big deal". the unfoutunate part is that its an 'extra Medium' size. So I can't really fit into it.

So we rushed off to our ward softball game. I got there a bit late, and we were already loosing. The opposing team was rallying for an early lead. As soon as I got there (still waking up @ 1pm) they threw me onto third base. I did what I could, but after missing two paramount plays/catches, the next inning SM jeff and I switched, so I was to be pitcher. At that point they were probably 14 runs up. I know, I know, it sounds like a slaughter, but you should never underestimate the intimidating yells of a loud angry pitcher. The next inning as I pitched, they only got one run. Yes, who's ralling now you weaklings! We took their place in the scoring quest, getting 10-14 runs per inning, and me pitching an almost 'No-hitter'. I was quiet proud, and vocal about our earnings on the ball field. Later at the priesthood meeting the stake president complemented us on our outrageous victory (he was on the other team), and I told him I wasn't sorry for the disapointment I placed in their souls, and if anyone on the team needed therapy, I could recomend someone to him.

At the meeting, (which was a waist of time cause it was just a stupid 'look who's going away' meeting for the exiting mission president of the area) I really wanted to tell him afterwords that his missionaries were bad and he should have taught them better, and the fact that he was REALLY trunky was a bad impression in everyone there. But I didn't; and afterwords i didn't care anymore.

But also during the meeting, Pres. White gave a talk on Spiderman and Harry Potter. No, I'm not kidding about this eitehr. He actually called on some kid and asked him to stand and tell us what the object of spiderman was. He froze under pressure, and he apparently couldn't hear me loudly whispering to him, from across the room, what it was. But Pres. White could hear me from the pulpit (10 rows back right side of stake center), so he then called on me to stand and tell all the people there that "The purpose of Spiderman was to Battle the forces of Evil". I said it in a tone that showed that I was discusted with the kid who couldn't answer. It was pretty funny. If I had more time to think about it, I would have given a much more detailed description of spiderman, and maybe reinacted a few scenes, at least untill asked to be seated.

After the meeting while trying to leave, the legions of missionaries that were swarming the parking lot were everywhere. (I don't know why so many were there, it was only for our stake I thought, but whatever.) So josh sped into a group of them and stopped at the last second, and then acts pissed. So they did the same, you know, to be funny, then me- already hanging out the passenger window, started barking out "Quiet Dignity" at them as if it were a curse. We all then proceeded to laugh at that phrase for the next 5 minutes. We'd all been to the MTC, we knew.

Saturday night was Harry Potter night. Unfortunatly our 6th Saturday night priesthood meeting of the year was also on that night, so the movie started a little late. It was fun and informitive like usual.

After church my crew came over for Peanut butter sandwitches, and we watched Man vs. Wild. All new episodes are comming out. Sunday night we went to a 'Good bye Bethany' party. It was fun. I think Josh and Kristen are mad at me for destroying them at Yahtzee. Sorry guys, its

I'm listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers right now.
