I just got back from a speech and debate conference, see? And now I be going. I'm almost gone. I have somehow managed to hijack a computer in Dallas, but I don't have much time to say a lot.
So I'm going to Mexico on a mission trip. We're going to a small "colonius" or something, a place somewhere across the border from McAllen, to build houses and spread hope. And also get some merchandise off the local tiny places for a slightly increased price. :)
I have a, err, /profound/ observation from the big DAD to quote for you. F.B. might enjoy the strange quotes from her uncle.
Bubble bubble toil and trouble
How does your garden grow?
With cockle shells and pumpkin smells
All tied up in a five pound note.
:D from Dr. Fear.

I'm back here now
And yet somehow, I will be gone sometime soon, just Tuesday morning, on a trip to Mexico.
But the big thing from last week was the CFC conference that Johua Jones and I went to. Here is an excerpt from an email to my cousin. I don't want to spend a lot of time retyping it.
boy am i glad that it was NOT a tournmaent. i am NOT ready for a speech or deebate tournament, and it will take a wile to get ready. im gonna havta do an average of about an hour a day research on "Resolvd: that democracry is overvalud by the us govrnment." i do havto go to a turnament in january. *groan* i dont know if i even want to or not. i gues if it coms to that, mom says im going.
the confernce went well, as well as a Communicators for Christ conference normally goes, i gues, evn if ther wer more people ther than they wer used to. i spent most of wednesday thursday friday and saturday sitting and listeningto someone talk about spechifying or debating. they did hav a small competition thrusday afternoon. i did an interpratation and an impromtu. the interpratation was a small peace of something written by someone interpretied by me in som way. i spose i did ok in that. the impromtu is a limitd prep speech, i draw a subject from an envelope and have 2 minutes to prepare a max length 5 minut speechify. i can normally do prety ok, but i dont think that one really went. like "howd it go?" "it didnt go" i didnt do wel on that one.
i need to brek that big long paragraph. thursday night we did a group interpretation of robin hood, limited by time and preparation time. we got mayb max two hours to prep and the interp wasnt even much of the robin hod story. but oh wel, it went well.
saturday night i got to be in a "group debate", a sort of funny incomplete debate with a bunch of people. we got the resolution (it was a value debate--you know the difference between team policy and lincoln-douglass value, yes?) "that carrots should be valued over candy". i was on the affirmative and didnt do much except answer cross-examination questions. we only went through the 1NC anyways.
did any of that boggle you? it was ment to. :#D
is that... a bloody nose maybe?
And with a bloody nose and this small note, I will end this short post. I have made up my mind, I WILL DO IT!! Right this minute I will switch and not delay any longer! "Goodbye cruel world!" or something! Lets hear it for cliques used out of context!
A small conclusion dedicated to my friend Evan:
Evan, where did that happiness go? You decided to be happy, and it all disappeared. Where did it go?
P.S.
OH! I am so INSULTED! They go and tell me for a week or two that I should switch, and when I try to, they tell me to WAIT!! AARRGH!!

Debate and Blogging
If I believed in such, I would say "wish me luck", but since I don't I'm just gonna havta trust that God will bring me out of this without any "serious" problem.
I'm going to a speech and debate conference tomorrow. The conference doesn't actually start until Wednesday, I think, but we'll be there early. A five hour trip...
I don't know how many of you already know, but I was really discouraged by the debate tournament I went to last year. I don't think Mrs. Jones would like to hear such news, but I am getting stressed out by the idea of... well, I spose its mostly the preparation and all, or something. I'm not even sure myself.
(Now would be a really great time to get an eletter from F.B.)
Those Bloggers out there who have recently updated have not doubt gotten the same notification I did. The new version is ready. This new version should make many things more convenient, but also change the blogosphere forever. I say we do it. I already have my Google account, I don't really have to do much at all. What say you?

Another update
More words on Lillian.
It is... just about 8:00 PM and Lillian has had a compound fracture. Yes, that is the worst kind I know of that you can get. She has to have surgery. Tonight. Its gonna be a long night for lil sister.

Request for prayer
Its Lillian. You know, gimli, my little sister, biggest little sister, that person. She broke her arm falling off of a chair. She really isn't taking the pain very well, so pray that the pain would lessen a lot.
"This reminds me of a time back when..."
I can just imagine an old man saying something like that. Oh, Peter, you're so heartless, making jokes with your sister in pain. Tell me about it.
:(

hey guys
Ok, I admit it, I am a little slow on the update. And I haven't seemed to do anything longer than - not very long. So here is a clipping from an email sent to F.B.
By the way, the mispellings are intentional. Its sort of a "tradition" in our emails.
chemistry was interesting, learning about the mole. no, not the smal fuzy thing that digs hols. the mole is a sort of shortcut for 6.02x10^23, like a couple is 2 and dozen is 12. it is best put this way. there are 6.02x10^23 atoms in 4.0 grams of Helium, and the atomic mass is 4.0. it doesnt make much sense yet, does it? chemistry is not my big spot.
and logarithms arent either. mom and i spent all day trying to figur out one problem that depended on the definition of a logarithm, and didnt figure it out until i loked at wat she had don and said "heres why its right, becase it is right". that was one werd problem, and yet so simple. like i said, it turnd out to be somethin rely simple that jus avoided me the whol time.
Hey! It took me half a second to write that all! ;-)
If you don't know, that was a short summary of Tuesday's not so well working stuf.
Tuesday actually did go rather well, to the extent that I got maybe 2/3s of the stuff done that I needed to. I normally end the day with plenty left to do tomorrow, but that Tuesday I had God's grace.
Wednesday went fine. Planned events happened, not much went on in the Bike Shop, I FINALLY FINISHED THE ESSAY!! :D
Anyways, this Thursday is going OK, not exceptional, I need to get to work. Bye, people.
