a promise is a promise

like i said, i would post details about the freshmen pajama party. so, here it is.

the party was postponed for about an hour because of the rockets game, but once the party started, there was no stopping it. cuz once you pop, you just can't stop! pringles!

anyways, started off with introductions, so we went around all 40 or so of us and we each said our name and the name of our future first-born child. of course, i shared with everyone that im gonna name my kids, probably starting off with the number seven. isn't that a good name? seven? yeah, thought so.

afterwards, we had an icebreaker game that condoned violence. actually, more like it encouraged violence. either way, it was fun. person in the middle would hold a pillow in a menacing manner while the people on the outside would start a name chain. the pillow-holder would try to hit the person whose name is called before that person calls out a different name. sound complicated? well, it isn't. you're just stupid =P

next we broke off into teams and, let the games begin! with fun games ranging from an eating contest to a thumb war, the entire night was filled with bouts of laughter. i guess everyone got a nice ab workout.

the last of the games was arguably the "funnest" (is it just me, or should that be a real word), with each team playing chain charades (im making this term up, i don't know the real name), where one person acts out the event to the next player, and then the last person tries to guess what's going on. yeah. good game. lots of laughs. uber fun. and many fragments. i have just typed. <-- not that one

then it was time for worship, which was just awesome. standing there in the san jac tv lounge with the rest of the freshmen class signing praises to God. wow. just too cool.

afterwards, we had a couple times for sharing praise and prayer requests. it was definitely an amazing opportunity to get to know the rest of the fish better and just bond closer as a group.

sharing came to a close at about 3 am, and then it was time for spontaneous randomness. you know, whatever you felt like doing. there was 8-player mariokart racing, swing dancing, 1-step walking, 2-step strutting, wrestling, picture-taking, pyramid-making, acapella singing, push-up doing, and overall fun having.

at 10 in the morning, the few brave souls who lasted the whole night ventured over to the kitchen next door to cook and serve breakfast. breakfast burritos! i've never tasted anything so good!

and there ya have it. the somewhat brief summary of the PJ party. if you want to see pictures, several people had cameras. eh...gina, emily, and lina just to name a few. you can find the links to their picture pages on the left-hand side of the screen.

and my prayer requests page will be updated shortly.

and i will update you on the happenings of my life on sunday as well as today shortly.

and i will eat shortly.

and i will be back longly.
