It has seriously been a long time.

I dont even know who does this anymore! But i will give a quick update.

Still in school at Crown, but i am transferring to a private Christian school in Missouri next fall. I am very excited about it.

I recently got back from Bible Quizzing nationals in Lake of the Ozarks, MO. It was very fun! I coached a team, and we had fun together. Revelation (TFC top team) made it into the championship quiz and ranked 3rd overall out of 54 teams. But, we did not go to Sonic on the way home, so I was sad.

What else? I'm hopefully going on a missions trip to London this june for three weeks. (if i can raise the money) and then coming back on July 7th. I will be back for my birthday on the 8th (whohoo 19!) and then on the 9th I will be leaving for 2 more weeks for camp! I love camp!

Well, I think thats it. See you again in about 6 months, unless, i get back into this blogging thing!

The Ballyhoo show...

So im at school. Its pretty exciting! Classes dont actually start until tuesday, but we're enjoying the freetime and what not. Ive met some pretty cool girls, and one of my quizzers lives on my floor! Its pretty fun! We had a huge (litterally) bonfire last night, and just kind walked around and played games. Watched a little skateboarding (more falls than tricks though, lol) and got to meet the other students in my major. There are 5 of us! most of the other majors have 20 or more. One of the girls in my major (Biblical and Theological studies, BTW) is 23 and just got back from living in India for the last year with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and is trying to finish up her senior year. The other three are guys, two of them from different states, and the other was doing a year in Sweden (i think) also with YWAM. We also got to meet our professors and have a little fellowship time.

Tonight is the Ballyhoo show. Its pretty much the a Freshman talent show. The RA's are doing some skits too. Its usually fun skits and songs, but there will be a few serious songs. I met a girl named Katie from Buffalo, and another girl named Nadine from Grand Rapids, and we decided to get together and do somthing for the show. We wanted to do somthing fun, so our original plan was to sing a disney song, but eventually settled on "As long as you lone me" by the Backstreet Boys. Nadine and I are singing, while Katie is going to show off her sweet guitar skills. But Nadine and I are going to bring our guitars too, for "Moral guitar support" as we call it. So we pretty much just stand there and look cool. After we auditioned, the auditioners (is that right?) we're screaming like loyal BSB fans would, it was pretty funny. Even the guys in the Chapel started clapping a beat while we were playing, haha they loved it. So at 6 we're gonna practice before the show actually begins, and add in some sweet boy band like moves, and wear shnazzy outfits.Oh, and the auditioners asked us if we wanted some screaming girls and guys with signs in the front, haha that would be pretty great. We have a few girls already signed up for the job!

So, i must go, ive got other business to take care of before dinner and the show, so im out!

God Bless!

ahhh, so i am in quiz mode right now. which stinks, cause im not a quizzer Anymore. Anyway, next week were doing a quiz demo out in Delano, so i get another chance to quiz! whoop! i'll take anything i can get!

Anyway, im coaching a team this year, and im still looking for more quizzers! We've got 3 for sure quizzers, and 2 maybe's. Luckily, one of the maybe's is dorming at Crown as PSEO, so i might just be right down the hall from her to bug her! Anyway, so if you are in the area, or know of anyone who needs a team, let me know! Im hoping we might a few stragglers at this demo thing, that i can possibly have join my team, that would be awesome!

Desperately seeking quizzers,

Sam

Currently Listening The Question By Emery the terrible secret see related

im back....too lazy to write anything. here's some lyrics...

"The Terrible Secret"

pave these streets with open arms
it's always you we're waiting on
the skin, the taste, the drug, the need
i'm asking, telling you, don't leave
erase the lines that we have drawn
it's always you we're waiting on
and waiting on and waiting on
and on and on and on and on

these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you

wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be

the perfect shoes with matching clothes
it is the lie we're always told
but nothing masks the shallow touch
by saying words that cost so much
while you're an addict to the need
to find yourself a way to breathet he sex, the purge, the vein, the look
to reflex feelings that we took

these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you

perfection, it's perfection
but never quiet enough, and never could disguise
the drugs to make it stay
the wanting in your eyes
the money that you spent, but you're still an accident

we are more than words that fill our mouths
drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we need

these are our words, we fill these mouths
but all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out
these palms and frames that we tear through
to cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you

wait wait wait, i don't wanna see
wait wait wait, i am not the person anyone would want to be

waiting here until you leave...
