Big iD and Mayhem Friday the Third

So...been an eventful 2 days...

Thursday - Big iD
Overall, although we ran as a trial...i thought we did pretty well considering the relatively no experience and very strict time constraints...i think it was all ultimately put together in 3 or 4 weeks...Still loads to work out but i think the overall experience was positive..
We started off with games...that was very successful...i brought my best friend Adnan along...and when Bert said we were gonna play some games Adnan was like;
"Dude...you didnt tell me bout games..."
"Dude...i did."
"DUDE...No you didnt!"
We played Aye Sir No Sir...and as the game progressed...i think Adnan slowly began to enjoy himself "in a weird way" (what he said) ... We had a secret weapon, Josh...man, that dude is good at that game...but ultimately let down by Amy's struggle to utter a single word...thwarted.
Second was Action Man Chinese Whispers...that went pretty well...there was one action where it got completely derived into a different action and Jelly tapped me on the shoulder...and jus didnt look me in the eye as he proceeded to wave his arms and pretend to flatten his hair...
Next was the Acts bit...I started and sang 'Lifesong' and 'Breaking my fall' with the guys and chrissy. went ok..altho i got muddled with the timing of the song...so there were bits where i had to restart but i think the piano drowned me out at the time...so it was cool..
Tuuls was next...played solo...was cool...then the last song she did was "Fix You" by Coldplay...Chrissy and I sung it...only practiced it an hour before the event started so we had to like try and pick out the starting bits..but it was a fun song to do...i watched it on video friday evening at berts...man, i looked stupid...but not as silly as terence as he danced to it for a lil while...which was funny as usual.
Terence came up next with his talk..very nice...thought provoking yet light and funny...classic terence...couldnt ask for no substiute...
Testimonies next...Lil G and Sam did very well...i think it really connected with some of the new ppl there of what its like to be with God...which was awesome.
I think Worship came next...need to learn how to pick the right songs when leadin somethin like that...gotta make sure i know which songs suit a certain number of people in the congregation...
Food. Need i say more...i made a better cheesecake than sam..altho she did sabotage mine in the morning...

Friday: Mayhem Friday the Third
So...in the morning till mid arvo..spent it in the library doing chemistry (joy) then met up with Adnan to start Mayhem Friday the Third. now... i know some of u are probably goin "Mayhem Friday? what?" ... lemme tell u...its great.
Mayhem Friday:
1) Was created by adnan and i
2) Is being more outrageous than we usually are in a controlled way
3) Is Fun

Rules:
1) Only on a Friday
2) Only on a Friday that is a holiday
3) To get something that we usually ponder and wonder and analyse whether to get without feelinig guilty or regretful...During Mayhem Friday the First...i ended up with a Kool & The Gang album...Mayhem Friday the second...adnan and i ended up with hats...Today, i ended up with comic books and Adnan ended up with a blazer, tshirts and a pair of converse shoes...but thats cos he lives in London and doesnt buy anything there. I was the fashion consultant...Metrosexual shopping we call it.
4) Live up to the Mayhemic Mayhem

Got my belated birthday present from Adnan....a Jim Lee Batman figurine and Action comics Superman issue 1 the reprint so its retold again...Nick and Bert now truly believe im a nerd. Nick does...he shook his head when i showed him the stuff...cant wait to see his face when i tell him im goin to the geek convention in March...!
Spent some time with Adnan and another old friend Rob who is at Stourbridge doin art foundation..havent seen him in awhile...pretty good friend of mine..did some catching up at starbucks...he is sometimes a lil slow so he said at the counter..
"yeah..can i have a mocha coffee please?"
"ok..what size sir?"
"the Big one"
"Venti?"
"umm..no..the Grannn-dai one"

which i thought was funny.
Then went to C'n'R...analysis of Big iD and watched another Nooma vid...i like Rob Bell man..he has really cool ideas...

So, im here...ive unwrapped the Batman figurine...ive jus typed mom's worship chords and lyrics...not tired for some reason.hmmm....
