You have got to be joking...

"The Christian MySpace for Christian Friends"

Well, now I know where to visit next time I need a good dose of "Christian Social Fellowshipping."


*snort*

2am

Observations from tonight:

  • Small group: good
  • Sitting on yoey's driveway for 2 hours after small group: cold
  • Conversation/prayer had while sitting on said driveway: good
  • Assignments: bad
  • Being out until midnight sitting on yoey's driveway having great conversatation/prayer, when there are incomplete assignments due the following day: still undecided.
The "small group, episode two" thing outside the home where we've just had episode one seems to be becoming a regular occurrence however. I may have to start not doing that on nights like tonight. Even though it means missing out on what is sometimes the real gold (real fellowship seems to happen more in the 11pm talking than in the structured 7:30pm small group).

MOTD

Sitting in church office... about to head to RelaxMaxx camp.

I have the computer since it's been with me all day. Unless I have a good reason it won't be outside its case while on camp.

Phone is getting turned off. If anyone desperately needs to contact me..... too bad!

The video grading story has taken a good turn. In fact, it walked out of my home in the hands of someone who has time to do it at about 9:45am today. I don't have to worry about it until Tuesday night when we're doing the authoring. Except I am. I need to remind myself how to use DVD Studio cause I haven't played with it for ages... and if I don't know I'm going to look fairly silly come Tuesday.

Oh, and a major assignment due Tuesday arvo. Fun times. I probably should start that sometime soon!

Not until I'm home from camp though.

I can do lots of short messages in separate paragraphs can't I?

Like this.

Ahem, anyway. I'm starting to be silly so I'll stop. If anyone actually read this far, post a comment and tell me to shut up :P (and/or say hi so I know who out of the few people i gave the link to actually reads this regularly)

Relax Maxx

I'd completely forgotten about the above school camp that I'm on this weekend (well, one night - Friday-Saturday). Even though it's Yet Another Thing I Have To Do, I'm looking forward to it. Given that it's a group of about 30 Year 11-12 crew, most of whom I'm good mates with, it's hardly going to be hard work. And as the name suggests, the idea of the camp (for them, but hopefully for me as well even as a "leader") is just to relax and chill.

Something I need at the moment.

I'm thinking that my mobile phone is going to be out of reception for the whole time I'm there (ie. I'm enforcing it with the power button if it isn't), and I may or may not leave my computer at home so that I'm forced to not do any real work and actually enjoy it.

+4 fish of stinkyness

Thanks dikky (not that you read this) for the games at Awake tonight. I still smell from that game with the fish.

For other blog readers: Ultimate "frisbee", except playing with small frozen fish (some kind of bait i think). They started to thaw fairly quickly. And break in half. And be covered in fish guts (as you get on the inside of a fish). And be thrown against the back of my neck and down my t-shirt.

Yes I still smell of it. It's rank.

Blogging from the Tower of ECU

Not really, they just call it the tower for some reason, this little room in the top of the weirdly shaped building.

Anyway, I just did a one hour calculus test in about 20 minutes. Either it was way too easy, or I did something horribly wrong...

Frustration, part 2

"jason,
unfortunately ###### says not possible to get the Premiere files but he's given some advice (see below).
i think if you're truly stumped then contact ###### & arrange a time to go to his edit suite & see it first hand.
good luck,
####"

So the question then becomes...

Why do I get value (as in valueing myself) from the stuff that I do. Why is it that I always seem to do more and more as if all the extra stuff makes me more valuable as a person? Why do I draw my identity from the stuff that I do?

And of course, why do I make posts like this at 12:25am when I should be getting sleep?

Frustration

"That's great that you've done that video! Oh, by the way, the guy who was going to grade it and put all the effects on it can't do it any more... you can do that and make it look just like his in the next couple of days can't you?"

Busy. Tired.

So I'm sitting here in the cafe at uni (the ECU-ML wireless notwork has decided to for once) having arrived early for once.

Of course the early is entirely related to the fact that I woke up at 8:45am for my 9am class, so I decided to ditch it and come straight down here.

I probably should do some work on an assignment or something, but I really can't be bothered. I'm way too tired and drained to care about them.

Sigh.

I probably shouldn't have stayed at small group until almost midnight last night. It's annoying though when the thing you get your biggest boost out of for the week is the thing that makes you the most tired the next day.

Oh well, I can probably get an early night tonig...... oh, that's right! I have an assignment due tomorrow that I've almost started.

*grumble*

World's largest banana split

Well probably not, but it's still fun to tell a bunch of Year 8 and 9 kids that. Still, a 15 metre long banana split aint too bad for a lunchtime effort. And 30 litres of icecream.

Hmmm....

Dikky just took my car to go and get food.

I'm not sure if I should be worried for its safety or not.
