Thank goodness for refillable water bottles and bubble solution!
I was just in time to meet Eric this afternoon, despite some stupid idiot causing a delay on the bus by lugging a mini-CAR on the bus with heavy boxes on it. Of course, this practically made the front ramp detach from the vehicle... WHAT A MORON! Eric said that it was like he hadn't seen me for ages, so we spent some time updating each other on stuff. It was nice to hear that Summer Con had been good. He commented on my sunglasses not being as cool as my mother's, which are pretty large. Hey, those felt too big for me, man! Also discussed the BC Lions starting today - no, I was not going to ROAR!
Got to church and said hi to Hannah, Priscilla, and Natalie. After drinking some water and refilling my water bottle, I went to the chapel where Jeremy / Christon / Nathan / Eric were. Asked Eric what he wanted for dinner; he seemed surprised that I hadn't eaten before I left, but I never eat dinner at 4 PM! He reassured me that there was a Subway inside Superstore, so off I went even if he didn't have cash. Luckily for the both of us, I had plenty! It was only two blocks to Superstore, but it was so HOT OUTSIDE that I felt like expiring! Saw some HUGE clear bottles of bubble solution (1.89 L) on sale for $4.50 each, so had to buy one in a blue (not green or pink) bottle after I figured out where the Subway location was inside the Superstore. (they also had Great Clips!) The people behind me in line were Janice, Justin (11), and Bianca (7) - WHAT A SURPRISE! Bianca had recognized me, and their mom let me go ahead of them since I only had one item. Then I ordered Eric's and my Subway sandwiches - the new spicy buffalo chicken turned out to be disappointing in terms of spiciness, but I always say that!
When I got back, a bunch of the teens had arrived. I said hi to Emily and Sam (eating McDonalds), and found a good position to eat my sandwich - sitting on the stairs! Margaret had a question about tomorrow's Awana program: I hadn't heard that we were doing anything special (although I did vaguely remember something), so told her to ask Emily instead! Said hi to Jessica (with a Starbucks coffee), and ate until we could go into the fellowship hall. Bumped into Jonathan and talked to him for a bit about the townhouse, Mom making steak and other good things, helping to sing for our bit tonight, barbecues, work, and other things - good to see him! Sat between Eric and Jeremy, and shared a bunch of amusement, especially when Stanley made "turn off your cell phones!" into a mini icebreaker.
Jonathan and I weren't really into playing the real icebreaker game of "rock paper scissors, superhero style," so stood by the doors watching. Isabel, Jon, and Harmony showed up just then - I told them what was going on. Timothy did an okay job of their set, Daniel did a better one, and David was (as I'd hoped) the best. Since I had to hold hands with a stranger, I thanked God for my hand sanitizer. After everything was over, there was a snack time. Talked to Harmony, Jon, Pastor John, Nathan, Andrea, Darren, Julie, and others about Portland / Craigslist / the week / orange towels / support / my green frog organizer in Jon and Harmony's shower / landlords / the Olympics / apartments / rent. Laughed at Stanford and Calla's suggestions for Emily when proposal time comes from Mike: look at the ring, wait for him to finish asking the question, and think of your actions in a flowchart! Went home with Eric after reminding him about getting gas: talked about teriyaki McChicken (chopsticks?), gaming references, craziness, and more. Good times, haha.
Facebook quiz taken from Steve L., or Wrath:
Leslie completed the quiz "What kind of old person will you be?" with the result The Grandma That Never Leaves. Your youngest child may be 87 years old, but that's no reason to move into your own place! At 112, you're more than willing to make your kids' lives hell until the day you kick the bucket! You'll annoy the hell out of them by asking them to repeat themselves 18 times because you went deaf 13 years ago. Another fun game is to ridicule their significant other and constantly remind them that they were never good enough for your son / daughter, and you never liked them. You're beyond controlling, and have a blast being that way. Keep it up, you creepy-looking dinosaur!
Poo nugget for this weekend: Gut Check - The gas that we pass from our rectum comes from one of two sources: swallowed air or intestinal production. Aerophagia, or excessive swallowing of air, can cause patients to feel bloated or to pass large quantities of flatus - it has to go somewhere! Doctors can determine where the excess gas buildup is coming from by measuring the concentrations of various gases in expelled flatus. Swallowed air will be high in nitrogen (the most abundant gas in the atmosphere), while intestinal gas will be made up mostly of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.
