Fellowship Christmas Potluck 2005 / Questions 1251-1300 of 5000
This afternoon and evening were quite fun.. time spent with friends is usually good. Eric teased me for being late to the dinner, but I couldn't make it before 6 because of Awana. As it was, Awana ran ten minutes late: once it was over, I was outta there and couldn't wait for the debrief if there was one! Good thing, too: I picked up little Ian before he fell on the stairs from trying to jump down them! (and his dad told me that my shoelaces were loose: those stupid things always are! :P) I also got a load of kiddy birthday / middle name information from Auntie Rebecca's black binder... yes, I collect strange things in my BootyBase. ;) My favorite kid David's back at Awana as a T&T clubber: yay! (these kids are aged 8 to 12, I think) I always liked that kid: the first time he called me by name (after five years of knowing me) was when he wanted to tell me that Rick (another kid) pushed him during Awana! Then I remember the first time I met him, his sister Hien told me that their daddy died while David was in their mommy's tummy. =/
Everyone had fun entertaining the babies (Megan, Joshua, Nathaniel, Olivia) at the potluck dinner, and even Helen K. made an appearance... she left her baby Nicholas at home, though. Randal and I talked a bit about what it was like to serve on the Fellowship Committee: good thing he didn't know that I'd served before, or else he would have nominated me instead! He wasn't sure if he wanted to accept the nomination, but he's in it now for the long haul! (at least a year) Then he mentioned that they'd miss me if I wasn't around: well, when your ride is tired / already halfway into Vancouver, there's not much I can do! (although I *did* try the last week with Sam and Jessica!) I also talked to Karen Choo, Nathan, Andy, Phil, Mel, Frances, Karen Kwan, Evelyn, Kelvin, Helen C., Joe, Winnie, Maxine, Karen So, Andrea, Sophia, John, Connie, Jenny, and others: mostly just catching up and asking about Christmas plans.
We had SO MUCH food for dinner: banana bread, turkey, stuffing, ham, pasta, BBQ duck, pumpkin pie, chicken, hummus, tiramisu, rainbow ice cream, scalloped potatoes, salad, sushi, peanut butter cookies, mandarin oranges, and more! Eric was looking at me funny at dinner, so I asked what was up. He asked what was with my shirt: hey, it's red and green... and it has little jewels on it! (Nathaniel seemed entranced by them, heh) Might as well break it out now that it's December, and he knows that very well! I also helped him with his jacket and Nathan's banana bread later.
After it was over, Dylan was happy enough that it went well: he'd been having all kinds of nightmares before, apparently! Eric and I went back to the church for a bit: Rich wanted to discuss how he, Phil, Alan, and Nathan felt about moving up to David Fellowship. I watched the guitars, knapsack, and banana bread. My brain went out the window when Dylan wanted to get in the church and the door was locked: you'd think I'd know to PUSH the door open instead of PULLING it... I should know, since I've been going to this church since I was born! I spent some time with the little kids who were there (Hannah, Priscilla, little Nathan, Natalie, William, Hilary, Michelle), and also saw my sister go in with a bunch of the teen girls from a bubble tea place. She was very surprised to see me there, and offered me a ride home after she was done: nah, I was just waiting for Eric!
Eric and I left at around 9:45 and discussed the possibility of snow tomorrow / in the future. I don't think I'll skip church because of it unless it's pretty bad, although of course Eric's mom won't want him to drive on extremely snowy / icy roads! He's going to Semiahmoo Resort around Christmas, which should be a nice family vacation. Then he joked that I was waiting for his digital camera before I tried suudsu.. gummi bears and milk, haha. We also got pretty silly while denying it, and he made a lot of Homestar Runner references. Oh, and he also explained yesterday's "hehehehehe hahahahaha" act on MSN: apparently, it's a Half-Life 2 inside joke I wouldn't get... and comes from a character named Father Grigory. Ah, good times indeed!
Got these questions from this QuestionClub LJ post by Arthurbulla. I'm going to post the survey in 50-question batches, like the original. No worries there! Five thousand questions and answers wouldn't fit as an entry, anyhow. :P
