Last night we had our first youth group of the year (my last year in youth group... sad. Very sad) I led (that didn't go as smoothly as could be desired) and Mr. Saeli spoke, calling us to be Dragon Slayers for Christ. He called us to fight the 'Dragon, that serpent, who is Satan, the Devil' at school, home, in our minds. I
I have just discovered something wonderful: internet radio. http://eternaltrance.temp.fm is great, provided you like euro trance, dance, house, that kind of thing.
Today Abe and I went out to school despite the fact that its a weekend here and worked on the scorpion project from last year. That is the coolest class I have ever had. I mean, how many of you people out there know even the theory behind welding without having to look it up, and how many of you have actually used a welder for hours on end making something out of metal? And fiberglass? How about bondo? all awesome. I now have fiberglass all through my left forarm, and it itches, but that's fine, a price paid for a cool class.

life never goes as smoothly as planned my friend.
Youth group. . .woah, that seems like a different lifetime. . .oh wait, it totally was.
Fiberglass in arm=much pain/discomfort.
He's making a life size statue of me, naturally. Or perhaps a self portrait: a struggling Atlas holding up a colossal load of books and hair. Or a giant scorpion. Meatloaf? A scale model of his electric guitar? With Sir Curvy-Nuts, it might be anything...
Sir Curvy-Nuts???? Do I WANT to know?
You want the whole story? Because I can give it to you, I was there. It traces back to a small island in the Indian Ocean, a tiny tourist haven called Di Hamri. We are sorting trail mix by creating small piles of every kind of substance in the baggies. Abe (was it abe?) offers someone what he calls "curvy nuts." Graham, in a hazy voice, says that "that sounds like something out of a porn magazine." The humble folk of Di Hamri are taken aback by this lasvicious comment, and thenceforth Graham became known as Sir Curvy-Nuts to an elite few. So now you know...
I've never welded anything before, but since my uncles and cousins do demolition derbies and etc, they can weld like you wouldn't believe. *jealous* my youth group doesn't start till the 17!!!
that is a very special story jeremy. . .i appreciate the telling. . .and i sit here holding back the hysterical laughter, because it just sounds so wrong--why does my dirty mind keep showing up? you guys just keep coming up with stuff that keeps me going. . .bad children.
fiberglass in arm=little irritation/itching.
Thankyou! Talle is not helping matters, but I am actually making a giant scorpion. It wasn't my design idea, it was my teachers, and so it became a class. A very cool class.
oh, my bad Jasmine. just so u know, I am a profesional hipocryte: I have a dirty mind too. Plus, (I am going to sound juvenile here) I am going to be a legal adult in another 4 months, so don't call me a child, hmf! lol. Scary, huh?
how close are you to being finished with the scorpion?
Graham is a legal adult, can legally drive in Yemen, and will eligible to vote in 4 months. (Somebody stop this guy I'm glad you enjoyed that little anecdote about our dear and mutual friend, I know that it must have been as fun to hear as it was to tell it. There's plenty more where that came from, trust me. No honestly, you can actually trust me on this one, no joke.
Bye the way, what happened to the post about the vicked cahr of ze vest? I can't see it anymore, she 'as gone. Am I not displaying correctly? Puzzle muddle muddle puzzle.
oh my goodness. . .a legal adult? oh honey, you ain't really legal till you can drink. smoking just kills you--voting isn't really important--drinkin is allll that matters. and yes, I had my first Chinese beer last night, and I have to say--way better than that American crap.
and yes dear, i suppose I shouldn't call you a child--i AM the one copying all my Disney music onto my computer--but I also just copied a Dance Mix onto there. . .so does that balance it out somehow? i dunno.
anyways, when you're finished with the scorpion Sir Curvy-Nuts (giggle), please post a picture. I'm dying of curiosity. well, not dying. . .but living.
not quite finished. You can tell it is a scorpion, but we put the pinsers on sideways so we have to grind them off and weld them on again (bwahaha!) fiberglass the legs and bondo the whole bloomin thing. Its gonna take a while. Possibly most of the rest of the year. I'll try to get some pics up sometime.
I don't think I am a legal adult yet. I don't have a drivers licence either, and have had only one lesson...not that that will stop me or anything.
Jasmine, ur scaring me with the drinking thing. Stop it.
