Bombastic Love...It's a good song...

I'm sure you all were eagerly anticipating my story about how my fingers were sliced, sorry to disapoint u, I didn't really make it funny. I'll retype it later when I get pictures.

We had a youth lockin on Friday night, omg it wore me out. We did games till like 4 in teh morning. Like a mine field we had to crawl under, a rope we had to repel across the church lake with, boat races in the lake, donut eating, rope climbing, and climbing over walls. It was so fun and I really think it brought the youth group together alot more. I got to know alot more of the teens. Me and Jose were the two team captains, we had about 20 people in each of our teams, only about 40 people showed for teh lockin:( . MY TEAM DOMINATED, GO WEST COAST BEACHED WHALES!!! oh, I did not pick our team name... NATHANIEL!!! WE won all the events exept the donut eating thing because one of our members was a lil to short to reach the donut. Being team captain was fun, I became very focused on keeping my team together, making everyone participate, and making sure everyone was having fun. Although sometimes I did get a little competative with the other team. Our first event was the rope climb, which Jose's team got the right idea with first(help the girls up by boosting them)the guys had all wanted to show off and climb up, but they soon learned and everyone began thinking of everyone elses strenghs and weakness then putting that into a plan. The only thing bad about that one was that I didn't use gloves so I got bad rope burn. So when we got to the wall all the girls were already in the front waiting for the guys to boost them then the guys went over. Then in the mine field the girls really pulled ahead of the guys because they were more slender, they could fit under the ropes easily. We then moved on to the donut eating contest, Kevin had told me to pick out a boy and a girl before he even told us what we were doing next, I had thought it was the repeling over the water so I picked athletic people(who were not so good at eating donuts. We lost that one but everyone celebrated our team mates after it was over. The next was the repeling over the water, which I was mortally wounded on. No not really, my team went first so I had Kevin do it first to show everyone else how it was done. He shot off a little to earlier and I still had a yard line wrapped around my fingers and tied to him, so it ended up cutting me almost to the bone, but I didn't notice until after I had jumped into the water to catch the rope, then I was taken out of service for a little while. while they figured otu that it was gunna work then I went home took a shower and slept till I had to go back and win the boat race thing with my team.
