We have a church mouse! / Bon's, the Olympics, Mexico, and more Mom hilarity!

At Awana today, Jason saw / heard a mouse in with the boxes and Christmas stuff. The guys managed to catch it and let it out, although Jason wanted to kill it. It also bit his brother Amos, and caused great consternation among the kids and leaders! (there was more than one... at least three, and possibly more besides!) Chris chose to play MOUSETRAP as part of Game Time, which Anita and I thought rather funny and appropriate, haha!

Sam didn't go home right away, so I chose to stick around for the info session on the Mexico missions trip. (why not, eh?) He, Joey, his sister Emily, and I went to Bon's for some dinner beforehand: we discussed the Olympics and speed skating rules / uniforms. (the Canadian uniforms are UGLY!) I heard about some game the high school group had played this morning which involved eating a Mars Bar from a diaper! (Margaret won that one over my sister, and Rich apparently refused to play) My sister held her own in the "Honey, I love you so much... won't you please smile for me?" game, however! (where you try NOT to smile as this question's being asked of you)

The info session was interesting: Ryan thought I was going on the trip, but I'm not. It sounds cool enough, though! Christon, Sheena, Mike, Steph, and others showed up for the session as well. Steph told us about the visual she got when she jokingly suggested to my mother that she and Dad could rekindle the romance in their marriage by taking up figure skating. According to my mom, the only Chinese man who could lift her is Yao Ming! *laugh* ("Your father can't do it, you know!") Steph was laughing for an hour over that: Mom is 5 foot 4, and Yao Ming is so tall that she'd be extended! Then she managed to misremember Michelle's birthday again: it's April 20, not the 22nd (Karen Lew's) or the 23rd (her cousin Tracy's) or the 25th (when she goes over to Montreal to help Vivian move back home)! Good times, haha!


Caught up on blogs before I left: Spoz's drunken pranks and wild photos at the Fringe are always good for laughs, haha! Dawn's been keeping busy, Dave's had certain incidents happen to him that I find alternately amusing and horrifying, Vivian's been to Welsh castles (man, I envy her!), Steph's been normal (whatever that means for her :P), and Jon's done the Darfur Walk (at 8 AM?!) with Jeremy. (now I know what Eric was talking about last week when he referenced an email that my brother sent to everyone except me, heh)


Hilarious Mom quote from my sister's blog:

Steph: Mum! Wanna see Brokeback Mountain with us? (her and Vivian S.)
Mum: The one with the lesbian cowboys?

HAHAHA... I guess to her, it's all the same! :D :P

The Death Star You scored 0 constructivenes, -4 selflessness, -4 loyalty, and -17 supportiveness!

Vindictive, selfish, disloyal, and unsupportive -- do you even HAVE friends? Assuming you do, they probably either drift in and out of your life or are just like you. When someone pisses you off, you vaporize them. Then it's on to the next target. If you're happy the way you are, more power to you, but if you want to learn the value of true friendship, you're going to have to take your finger off the trigger button, open your heart a little more, and try to stick around even when it's NOT convenient for you. That doesn't mean you have to lose your bite, but a good friend is fiercely loyal, not just fierce. "Commence primary ignition."

Um... this is not what I was expecting! o_O

I CANT SPEEL! :( LMFAO! YOU GOT 14 CORRECT.

Did somebody skip a day in kindergarten? If so, it was probably you! You missed at least one question, and that makes you total moron material in my book. Well, I suppose there is that possibility that you just mis-counted a word or two on those last three questions (I know, honeypie, they were real toughies). But honestly, let's see... 3 questions of that type, divided by 16 questions total... see, only a 19% chance that one of those questions was the one you missed. I'm a man who likes to follow probabilities, and all the dice are telling me you're an imbecile. I spelled that right. :)

Open Oyster You scored 33% Dark, 62% Crunch, and 60% Chewy!

You are an Open Oyster: a creamy blend of finely ground hazelnuts and milk chocolate in a milk chocolate shell. Sometimes you're open, sometimes you're closed, but hidden deep within is a pearl. You don't have much of a wild streak, but you do have your creative and more passionate moments, as well as your sweet ones. But you can turn all that on and off just as easily as an oyster opens and closes. You suck people in when you show them your sweet side... don't be afraid to open up more often. ;) Like this one?

Getting There You scored 9 out of 11 on easy, 4 out of 11 on medium, and 3 out of 11 on difficult.

You're on your way to filling your thoughts with junk, but you're not quite there yet. Take your time. Go and see some trashy movies and memorize them by heart. Stare at an atlas until your mind bursts. Surf every odd site in the internet. OKCupid seems to be a good place to start. With time and practice, you may have a better, brighter future. Then again, your future might be bleak and full of pain, particularly if you're a woman in Afghanistan. I've read somewhere that things still aren't looking up for them. If you have any questions from the test you want answered - ask me! I'm talkative, friendly, and hardly ever stalk people.

You are assertive, yet still maintain some level of submission. You stand your ground firmly most of the time, and are fairly level. You may not identify with being submissive or dominant, and it's possible that you're a switch (someone who alternates between the two depending on circumstances and / or mood).

Ah, there is hope for you. You have much to learn about hockey, but you've bestowed your casual fandom on the right sport, and that proves that you have taste. Unless you’re one of those people who just go to games for the fights... incidentally, are you a NASCAR fan, too? Join a men's league. Play some pond hockey. Date a hockey player.

Socialite You scored 60% Do Gooder, 45% Drive, and 53% Intellect!

You like to flit from flower to flower. That's right, I said "flit." You are a nice person with a kind heart, even if it does take you a little while to fully trust someone. When you do though, you like to share. And talking is a good suit with you, because you'd rather do that or sit and be entertained, then go out and do something. That's right, you're a bit on the lazy side. And there's nothing too wrong with that as long as you decide to get up and do something when it really matters. As far as the categories on this test goes, a socialite is something to be proud of, but there are better humans, too. All human being categories are: Lazy SOB, Rebel without a Cause, Evil Mastermind, Henchman, Criminal, Dictator, Frat Boy, Socialite, Philosopher, Stunt Double, Upstanding Citizen, Teacher, Cheerleader, Sister Mary DoGood, Benefactor, Loyal Sidekick, Candy Striper, Goody Two-Shoes.

ART GALLERY You scored 35% Fun, 66% Culture, and 29% Food!

You, my friend, are an art gallery. You like to do things that are low-key and you enjoy your peace and quiet. Every now and then you go out and have a good time, and you try to do more original, cultured things which is nice. You are classy and refined and probably enjoy riding horses and having picnics in the countryside. Enjoy the works of art! All possible results include: home, restaurant chain, art gallery, gourmet restaurant, opera house, winery, video arcade, bar / dance club, sports stadium, amusement park, movie theater, theatre / stage.

HARTFORD! You scored 42% Style, 39% Climate, and 48% Culture!

You are Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford, located at the end of the navigable portion of the Connecticut River, was settled in 1623 as a Dutch trading post. In 1636, a group of English settlers left Massachusetts and formed a colony here. The settlers made peace with the local Algonquin Indians, who called the town Saukiog, and renamed it after Hertford, England. Shaped by the social and economic forces which gave rise to industrial growth in America, Hartford grew and prospered as successive waves of immigrants came to work, build and settle in the community. This ethnic and cultural diversity continues to be a prominent part of Hartford's heritage and one of the city's greatest assets. Hartford also became an important cultural and communications center. The nation's oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, was founded in 1844. Supported by prominent benefactors like J.P. Morgan, the museum grew to become one of the top ten art museums in the country. Authors like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe were drawn to the area, because, as Twain said "of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, this is the chief." You have landed yourself in a more laid-back city because you are not fond of typical city crowds and city folk, but would probably be happier in a smaller town. You also don't mind the change in seasons, even though you prefer more sunshine and warm weather to the opposite. You probably enjoy a good film or art show every now and then, but more often than not, you just like to kick back and enjoy the outdoors and nature. You could stand to be a bit more open-minded because it would make you all the more well-rounded. Hartford fits you alright, although you'd probably do well in the countryside, too, far from the hustle, bustle, and stress of the city.
