It's so incredibly funny!

At least Chandler will agree. Tell me if you understand it (anyone else out there).

I'm also taking this post to do a test of a phone blogging service.
It's really quite cool, except the phone speaker makes my voice sound rather odd.

So whenever I want I can call a number from any phone and make a recorded post. Sweet!

Phone books and Debate

Well, we delivered phone books again today. Me and Benjamin and Mr. Sidebottom (our youth pastor. Don't even laugh, I see that grin on your mug... Wipe it off!!) worked together and we did pretty well. We delivered to only apartments, and that turned out quite well, since they were so close together. It was pretty fun, but also a whole lot of work. We delivered all day and I am quite tired, but not too sore, which is good. Well, at least no more sore than I usually am. Anyway, tomorrow our youth group is going to go together and see Narnia after a lunch together. Then we're planning on coming back to the Church for youth group.

Lol, I had to check my own blog to see if I had posted about me and Benjamin's debate tournament.
Apparently I forgot to post how our debate tournament went. I've been kind of out of it this whole week after debating four times in a single day. We only won one debate, which coincidentally ended up being against a team from our group. Besides them (we weren't supposed to be debating anyone from our group only other people)we also ended up debating two teams who had competed before and thus were at least second year debaters. This and us debating the team from SALT (Speakers A Living Testimony, or something like that. The name of our club) happened because a few teams didn't show up. Our first debate (the only one against a first year team from another club) was almost forfeited by the other team since one from their team didn't show up and walk into the room till the last minute. Anyway, after all the debate stuff, there were some separate speech things, among them (and the most fun of them which is why this category had the most competitors) was the HI Humorous Interpretive event in which you give a speech that is like a small act with multiple actors but you portray all of them. I found out that my speech teacher (or some other mischievous gnome) entered me in the HI part of the speech competitions. I do have a speech that I might do later in a competition, but unfortunately I wasn't expecting to do anything for speech there, and didn't have my speech handy (and wasn't memorized) so I had to cross my name out on the schedule. Anyway, it was a lot of good practice.

I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.

Podcast #1

Ok, here's podcast for your listening enjoyment. It's not all that long and not incredibly great, but not too bad for the first we've made. I'm glad I finally just got it up, we had to try numorous ways to record it since we don't have very good equipment. Anyway;

Billy and Benjamin Podcast #1 (1/19/06)

Thanks to Chandler for hosting it!

Pray for us, we have to debate tomorrow, and on monday. Providing nothing is cancelled becuase of weather.
Tonight on the way home from piano (awana was cancelled becuase of snow). It was really really snowy everywhere and one time a truck pulled out in front of me and fishtailed a bunch, so much that it looked like he was trying to, but it was a rather large road so I don't think he was. When we got near home on the empty streets I had a bunch of fun sliding around and swerving :D and Sarah was asleep too lol, didn't even wake up.

Till next post.

Debate stuff

Well, me and Benjamin went to my debate teacher's house and stayed there for a night. We debated today and my teacher said we won. It was fun once we got the hang of it and stopped freaking out because of time limits. She said we won because the affirmative team dropped an argument. Even though we didn't pursue some things we should have simply because I forgot about them. We also watched war of the worlds, which I don't recommend unless you like watching the little girl freak out (she had some real mental problems I think). The graphics were really cool, but there was virtually no plot, just lots of misplaced drama and the only reason anyone lives is that the aliens all die of colds that you don't even find out till the end from the narrator.

Anyway, we played some Halo2 with Jeff, Zack, (Ms. Maggie's kids) and Jay (another kid from debate).
That was fun and I was most often second place, which was cool.
That's about all I've been doing lately exept delivering phone books, which I get to do this weekend again with the youth group. Oh, and we have a debate tournament (practice tournament, but pretty much the same as a real one.) this coming monday. So, pray for us lol.

Till next post.

The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I'm startled.

Blog deleted

Well, I just deleted my "A Sad Tale" blog, I'm not going to have any time for that blog, and I haven't been creative enough to maintain regular posts on it (apparently). :( *cries for lost blog*

ok, well I had more to blog today, but I don't have time to post it all.
I will post this though.
Tonight something funny although not unexpected happened tonight during church.
My dad was talking about king Hesekiah (yeah I know, Misspelled probably) and he said; "Whenever you are in need cry out to the Lord" Which I thought was pretty good.
Andy then said "Hallelujah" quite loudly, crossed himself,(catholic style) and burped.
(ah a glimpse into a typical church night. lol, it's not always that bad, but that was pretty funny).

Till next post.

What have I been doing you ask?

This post was actually posted on the wrong blog so I actually wrote it a couple days ago....

Well this Christmas season, after spending a whopping 40$ or more on Christmas gifts we had a nice (if not somewhat strange) Christmas day. After going to church, we came home and opened gifts, and then rushed over to our grandparent's house to have lunch and open a few more.
After Christmas Moriah, Chandler, and me went to Winter camp at Twin Peaks Bible camp. How was it?
Well, it positively rocked! I went down the sledding hill four times on a saucer that was twice the fun becuase it would only go backwards. Most of our free time was spent playing Apples to Apples, which my family as well as Kyle's just happened to both get for Christmas.

Today we watched the left behind movies 1 and 2 and played a little apples to apples with some of the youth group.
Oh, one more interesting thing I just did...
deleted 1111 spam e-mails in my gmail spam folder!!!

Till next post.

had an elderly gentlemen attend some of our Bible studies.

When he missed one week, I called to see if he was alright. He told me he had started to feel sick, but a friend had told him of a natural supplement that had helped him to get better right away.

When I asked what it was, he said it was available at health food stores and was like a natural antibiotic. I again asked what this wonder supplement was called and he said, (meaning Echinacea) "Euthanasia, I think."
