nuttin' like a little wholesome, childish competitiveness!

WHIRLYBALL!

last year, while i was spending my fall term on the other side of the world in vietnam, i was a little (read: immensely) disappointed when i found out that my youth group decided to play without me. and rightly so! today affirmed that i had every reason to be disappointed!

this is like, THE MOST awesomest game EVER! and not to brag, but our team rocked! :o) i think jacrise and i actually had more fun aimlessly goofing/dancing around in our bumpercars to britney spears' toxic than helping sankara shoot some goals; and my forehead's unintentional ability to rebound the ball probably contributed more to the game than me and my scooper did, but it was definitely all about good times and great company! none of us cared that the group that came before us were oddly much shorter than us and probably half our ages, but the turnout of people who came out for this was amazing - always a great time with the hfbc youth, especially when we had a solid reunion going on :o) it's a wonderful thing when most (if not all) of the people you're with are just as craaazy as you are - i love you guys!

and for all of you reading this post, scratching your heads in utter confusion or perhaps rolling your eyes at this precise moment: if you haven't gone yet, YOU ARE DEFINITELY MISSING OUT!

to all the whirlyball patrons out there, i salute you! :oD

oh yes, and several random words of caution: it's not exactly the safest thing to drive on the 403 (or any highway, for that matter) with one active windshield wiper in the middle of an unexpected snow storm, unless of course you're a giraffe and have the magical ability to stretch your neck over to the right side of the car to see where you're going. it also doesn't help when the inactive wiper is actively blowing in the wind and rhythmically hitting against the windshield while you're driving.

suffice it to say, it was an interesting drive home :oP
