Wow, I've been busy. So Friday was when it ALL started. Powerhouse is now one of my favorite church activities EVER. Powerhouse is a weekend youth retreat that I go to every year. This was my first year tho because I missed it last year. Darned sickness. I almost missed it this year as well cause I was sick, again. I really do hate sickness. However this year nothing woulda stopped me from going. I wasn't gonna miss it for the world. So anyway, we left Friday with most of the youth group from my church. It was a four or five hour drive from where I live to the campground. When we got there we got registered and talked with our friends who we hadn't seen in months. After getting registered we unpacked then found our friends and hung out. I hung around with my bro until after dinner cause while unpacking I lost track of my friends. I'm always the one to do that. Haha. Dinner was good I guess. It's food that's all I care. After dinner I went to hang out with my friend Brianna and her friends. They are a bunch of crazy nut jobs. lol. But they're all great friends. I hung out with them until the service. At that point I was sitting with them however I was busy talking to Kayla and Vanessa. They're two of my best friends. From the end of service to about 12:30am I hung out with those two. At some point Kayla wandered off so it was just me and Vanessa. On the way to Vanessa's cabin (She was in cabin 8 on the boys side cause there was an overflow of girls) she asked what time it was. I had looked at my phone (Which works only as a clock, notepad and calculator out there) a few minutes before so I just calculated in my head what time it probably was and the answer was midnight. Vanessa shook her head, saying "No way." Naturally I pull out my phone and it says 12:01. She was rather amazed. So we hung out, found Kayla and then went to bed at about 1am. The next day (Saturday) I woke up 3 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Go figure. So I woke up and got showered and ready for the day. I was ready for breakfast like an hour before it was ready for me. So I sat around on the swing waiting for Kayla and Vanessa...or anyone really. Right when it was time for breakfast I found Kayla and Vanessa. So I ate with them then we went to classes. There were three. The first didn't have a subject, it was just everyone wrote down questions and the teacher answered them as best he could. The second one was on who you are in Christ. The third one was about holiness but I was getting tired by that point and wasn't listening real well. Bad me I know but I was tired. Then we had lunch, at which point me and Vanessa met up with Kayla as we'd gotten separated. Then we had a few hours, that felt like a few days, to do whatever we wanted. Vanessa spent most of her time in the gym playing Torpedo ball. Kayla was somewhere, not real sure where. I was doin' whatever. Hangin' with Vanessa, Kayla or just hangin' alone. Then as it got dark out (I was hangin' with Vanessa) the concert started. The two of us however weren't in there for the start of the concert cause we were waiting for a vet to get there to look at a dog that had hurt it's leg. Really badly. It was cut to the bone. Makes me glad I'm over my fainting problem. So that's why we missed the first half but the second half was AMAZING. The band playing was called Onthebrightside. They've got a fb so you should TOTALLY go look 'em up. They're AWESOME!!!!!! After the concert me and Vanessa hung out in the gym. On the way up there I told Vanessa about the guy I like and said he's right in front of us then we got to talking about how he was wearing shorts then where as he had been wearing skinny jeans. That lead to a whole conversation about his clothes and how he only wears shorts or skinny jeans. We also joked that he must think we're stalkers if he heard that, which is possible since he walked right past us as we were talking about him. We played torpedo ball for a while. I left after a while cause half my reason for being up there (AKA the really freakin' hot guy from camp named Brett) left. So I got bored pretty quick and left. Shortly after leaving I found Kayla. We hung out, just the two of us until the fireworks. Then we hung out with my bro, Lauren, Chad and two guys I don't know. It was funny when they started playing music, specifically the "Cupid Shuffle." I almost made my brother get up and dance but I decided to be nice for once...once. *Evil giggle* After a while of chillin' and listenin' to music the lights went out and the fireworks began. It was epic. Then I went to my cabin and crashed. That was the fourth time I'd been in my cabin. Sad because I'd been in Brianna's cabin once and Kayla and Vanessa's cabin like 10 times. I woke up (Again before my alarm went off.) and heard rain hitting the roof so I look out the window (As I'm sleeping next to it on the top bunk) and don't see any rain. Sure the ground was wet but there was nothin' fallin'. I got ready for the day (Again about an hour before breakfast was ready for me...or so I thought.) I got outside and it was raining. Most everyone was tryin' really hard to stay dry. I really didn't care if I got wet. I went to the concession stand, a common hangout and nice place to eat, and stood around there. After a while I noticed people had food so I went and got my own, realizing that it's the last meal they serve. It's completely made of leftovers. Oi. I'm such an idiot sometimes. Lol. So I got my breakfast then ate it. While eating Kayla and her friend (Who's name I don't know) came and sat with me. We hung out until the service that morning at which point the girl left and Vanessa joined us. After service we packed up and went home. That's the end of Powerhouse...until next year that is. 
Next on my list of things to talk bout is Operation Christmas Child (OCC). OCC is where people bring show boxes to collection centers where people (being me and the other 50 or so people there.) put shoe boxes cartons then put the cartons on pallets then the pallets are loaded into semi-trucks. Not everyone was like me and spent all day there. My friend Breanna for example got there after school let out cause her dad (Col. Melton) wouldn't let her miss school. (Ugg, public schoolers. Haha jk you public schoolers rock.) So I was there from 8AM to 8PM. Also there were tons of other people. Here's the names I remember (Some are nicknames.) Jagger <3, Sonia, Raymond, Christian, Munoz, Jedd <3 (And his lego gf. haha jk he don't have a lego gf.) , Yoshi, Alex, Fry (not kidding that's his last name, don't know his first name.), Steele, Thompson, Nick, Walsh (Nick's little bro), Journee, Quinn, Garvey, Riley, Even, A.J., Elena (A.J. and Elena were fun.), Roberts and Breanna. That's most of the cadets who were there. Wow I was actually being social, that's weird. With how anti-social I am in person I was being really social. So anyway I spent most of my time at the table where we "Ruberbanize" and "Prettiefy" as Nick says, the shoe boxes. Elena, Jagger, Quinn and myself would always race to see who could get the rubber bands on the boxes fastest. We were all pretty evenly matched. Jagger, if he didn't get there first he'd shove us out of the way. It was funny. He was almost always (Okay so not almost but always) flirting with me and Elena. But only me and Elena, cause we're that special. Haha. If ya noticed I put a heart by Jagger's name when listing everyone, that's cause I like him. Big surprised no? Me, liking a guy? Haha whoda guessed? (Note that was said..er typed sarcastically.) Haha I also had a heart next to Jedd's name cause I like him, tho I've liked him for months now. The thing I mentioned about A.J. and Elena being fun was in reference to (I'm not sure how it started) them getting married. Weird I know but that's what they were talking about all day. Christian was making the cake and I was gonna be the photographer. Plans were all set for the wedding the next day but it got called off. Shame, they woulda made a cute couple...until they killed each other. Haha jk they wouldn't kill each other...I hope. Alex was talking to Sonia and was complaining about how Alex likes Fry (Cause according to her he's cute) but is to nervous to talk to him. I just laughed and said "Chill out. I'm the same way 'bout one guy I know." I don't think she listened to me be ah well. I was trying to help and even if it didn't do any good it's the thought that counts. Right?
Last on my list of things to talk about (Other than random little notes and stuff) is Thanksgiving. My whole family on my mom's side minus my great aunt Grace and some other distant family, went up to Newport to see my great aunt Jonny. I had a ton of fun getting to play with my cousins that live up in Ohio and my cousins that live 'round 'ere near me. We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel, well most of us ate. Alea wasn't feelin' to good but by the time lunch was over she was getting to be back to her normal self...well normal for her. So we played outside for a while. We played on hay bales and in the fields and Alea forced me into letting her do my make up. Over all even tho I didn't get a really big Thanksgiving dinner it was a good time. I just wish my cousin (Well second cousin technically) Micheal coulda been there. It's been almost 8 years since I've seen him. I don't even know if he'd remember me. I'd think so tho since I'm younger than him and I remember him. Ya never know tho.
Now all that's left is random updates. So the other day I got to go see The Three Musketeers in theaters with my family (minus Rachel cause she's in FL...still.). If you ain't seen that movie GO SEE IT WHILE IT'S STILL IN THEATERS!!!! D'Artagnan is my favorite charater, not because his actor is Logan Lerman (PERCY JACKSON!!!) but because he's a great character and when fighting does a ton of stuff I do...such as grabbing the blade of a sword. Hehe...*nervous laugh* Anyways. I also watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes starring James Franco!!! (Harry Osborn, from Spiderman!!!) It's a really good movie, ya'll should watch it sometime. Other people it's got in it that I know are Tom Felton, Andy Serkis, David Hewlett and Brian Cox. Moving on, there's a site I'm a member of called Fanfiction, I'm posting The War: Julian's Time on it but that's not the point here. The point here is there's a story on there that each review is like questions for an interview. It's pretty cool. Here's a snipit from my latest review.
Pyro: *Spots Pyro* OH! THere he is! *Runs over and hugs him* EEH! Pyro! Your my fave character ever! I LOVE your accent and your hair and eyes and *stops suddenly and takes a deep breath then exhales* Sorry. Rabid fan girl spasm. I kept myself together until I found you. Sorry if I freaked you out *speed of talking starts speeding up again* your just so awesome and I love you I love your fire and I'm a pyromaniac myself! Really! MY brother (or anyone really) will take lighters and matches away from me. I almost destroyed my kitchen once!
