What a Day!
Weekend rather. Wednesday was school, school was good, played volleyball after school, worked on spiking, came home, led youth group, went to bed. Slept in. Woke up late (ten or so) worked on homework and such for five hours. Played Ultimate Frisbee for two hours. Came home with a friend (Jeffrey). Worked on a RPG we are making together. He spent the night. Next morning is church. After church is church picnic, with another game of ultimate and a game of volleyball. Get home with six friends. Test our RPG game for two and a half hours with friends. Update blog. Go to bed. I am all sore from all this running and jumping and throwing and catching, and my brain is dead from one hard core thinking session after another (my calculator program that is supposed to calculate die rolls for me is still not working, four versions latter...) and several major revisions have been made to our RPG. I can't think straight anymore, so if you want an analysis of how the RPG test run went, you can go to Jeffrey's blog, which is fortunately already linked. I hurt all over. Good night.

Hey, how many people do you have your your youth group? I was just curious.
Sorry I never got back to you about Alastair McEwen (hehe weird name, hard to spell). Yeah he goes to an RP church here (as you probably figured) and we're pretty good friends with him and his family. :o) I assume he's gone now?
Well I have to go help pick through Maria's hair. Gross. Don't get lice.
How many people in our youth group? hmm. tough one. it varries weekly. some days we have as many as 25, others as few as 15. It is really sporadic. Some of my boarding school freinds are comming back though and I think some of them are bringing friends, so we could get over 30.
I guessed as much about Alastair McEwen and the RP church. He is gone now. I would have thought he had made it back to Australia by now, he left quite a while ago. It was cool to meet someone here in Yemen who knew you!
If I got lice it would mean I would have a reason to cut my hair and an excuse to shave my head again... The pressent mop is a result of a year and three quarters growth after a shave... It freaks people out, it is so much fun.
hey look, i'm on your blog! this is the first time this month, i believe. Sounds like your weekend was exciting. i'm excited about my 4 day weekend!! woot. yay for Thanksgiving on Thursday.
please don't get lice. that's gross. I've had it twice in the past two years. two springs in a row. no fun at all.
For the record, lice spontaneously combusts when it comes in contact with my scalp, so I'm in no danger.
I miss the SICFYG so much! And SIS, surprisingly. But I'm loving my floor too. Just the other day, we played a game that is very complicated and requires a lot of background that I won't go into, but it involved "killing" me with either a sugar packet marked "toxic," a rope, and a bat. We accidentally left the sugar packet lying around in the lounge when we were done, and some public safety person thought it was anthrax. No seriously, they did. 7 police units, one fire chief, one amublance, one college floor record. Yep, that's us, T7. I think it was an interesting wednesday for the both of us.
Email me! I grow weary of constant forwards from Asma and look forward to meatier discussions with a truly random but effective mind.
thanksgiving is here (I am taking the liberty of checking my internet identities before all that eating begins.) Thursday is on a week end here, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it off. :( So I don't get anything else off either. I will do my best not to get lice.
Dude, SICFYG is half missing without you and your sister. SIS is just plain dead. I have yet to do anything dumb this year! last year was great; things stuck in the ceiling of the dome, burnt out patches in the tiles, fire crackers, dodgeball, frisbee jugling, everything! its dull now, not even a Hazim to harass. Thats great about the sugar packet thing! If only people here were that dumb. Honestly. Anthrax is hard to get compaired to say tetrodotoxins, or even conotoxins! Its only scary because someone actually used it. What about the rest of the toxins that don't have antidotes and are absorbed from the air through your skin? Anthrax is the least of my worries. No kidding that would be interesting though.
I'm gonna ask a question in return. What is RPG? I figured out it's Role Playing Games. But then what is THAT?
Btw, why double 'l' in Graylland? Numerology?
A role playing game is a game in which you have and maintain a character that exists within a certain set of parameters. Depending on the game (there are hundreds) your character can jump, attack with a weapon, run, etc. They are insanely popular, but that is more detrement than bonus. You may have heard of Pokemon. That was a computerized rpg. The rpgs that we are playing are pen and paper, where we get to make the rules and design the world. The sesions afterewards I describe the settings my freind's characters stumble into, and then they have to figure out how to get out of the predicaments that they wander into.
The double 'l'? no reason really. A cumulative pile of misunderstandings on my behalf when creating the blog. I could fix it, but then, I like it.
hey,
cool. Sounds like you had a pretty sweet day. Yesterday i played to hard in the pool (keep away and i was the only girl) for 2 hr and my neck hurts from being dunked. You guys really don't know your own strength. :-P Anyways you need to update, but hey we all do don't we?
Hey did you have Thanksgiving? We had one, which was really cool, with some other american's. Lots of food, really ful and really happy. :) a good combo.
welp i'll let you get back to your busy life.
later

P.S. thats neat that you led your youth group. keep up the good work.
Um. I was some several thousand miles away when you went and dared the pool, so my point is sort of, I didn't dunk you, so there was no call for telling me to be careful. :(.
I do need to update, and I have the perfect subject, and photos to prove it, but no time to fool with it. :( (hm. another sad face. I should be more optimistic)
yes, we had a thanksgiving, like you, with other americans. It was good, food, society, games, everything. We even played some music, which was good.
