Day 9:Going Home

On Saturday morning once again just like at the last hotel we slept at I woke up freezing. For some odd reason if you blast the AC all night it is gonna be cold in the morning.John and Mr. A. went to go fix the trailer. John said some guys who do race cars used some drill thingie and popped that tire off and put it VERY quick. The coolest part was that it ONLY cost five dollars. So everyone woke up went downstairs to have breakfast. I got dressed and was ready to go in a few minutes.Soon John came back drenched because it was raining outside. Soon we were on the road again. Of course there was the fights,the yells the annoyance etc... Soon it was time to have lunch. We stopped at a Wendy's slash gas station. I got Spicey Chicken fillet combo. It was delicious. Soon we were back on the road again. It was about an hour later when Daniel had-pee-BAD. Joe took a bottle with Mellow Yellow in it and swished it back and forth in front of his face. Daniel A. laughed so hard he cried!!! It was pretty funny. Soon we passed over a cannel of water. That was pretty funny also. After fifteen minutes we stopped at a gas station and we all relieved ourselves. Once again we got in the van and headed out. Toward the Lacy started grinding my last nerve!!! She was talking about some show that was bad and I told her to please stop but she didn't listen. So I said please shut-up. So I yelled at her to shut-up. Soon Megan said Lacy and Annie can't talk til we get to the church. I shut my mouth til I got there unlike Lacy who talked. Mark Aaron met me at church and we picked up my bags and we went home.

Day 8:Leaving M-Fuge

On Friday morning everyone had to pack up and put stuff in the trailer so we could get on the road to get on home. Before we left we had our last Breakfast at camp. I had chopped up potatoes.Then we went to have individual pictures done next to this building where some water contraption was. Everyone was standing in line to get individuals. Daniel R. was up there when all of a sudden came a blast of water. It got everyone wet. I believe it had something to do with a prank pulled on Bryan W. earlier in the week. It was quite funny yet my whole backside got wet. So we all prayed with Bryan. Next we all piled into the car. This time I sat ALL the way in the back with Lacy and Gage. I got quite annoyed with them after a while. When I got annoyed with people I took my notebook and gently hit them(NOT). It hurt when I did it but it didn't leave any bruises or anything. I fell asleep after a while. I woke up to a rumble strip we were driving on. Mr. S opened the back door I mumbled "I am gonna hurt whoever just opened that door!!!" Then I looked back and saw Mr. S and said "What happened why is the door open?" Then I looked at the trailer tire and saw a completely limp,flat torn up tire. Soon a sheriff came and we drove half way in the grass up a down ramp.Once we got to a gas station the "guys" started looking at it and trying too get it off. It was REALLY rusted so it was quite difficult. The coolest thing is that some guy came by and gave us a tire that fit PERFECTLY!!! Some other people gave u some tools to get it off and a car jack Since all the middle schoolers were all bored we decided to go in the van to get some bolts for the tires. Lemme tell you,that is NOT a good idea!!! Three girls and few boys who have been cooped up in a fifteen passenger van for quite a few hours tend to start to get agitated with each other. I was SO close to hitting Lacy so hard with all my might it isn't even funny!!! Well there was no bolts so we went back to the gas station to find all the kids who stayed were cleaning up the parking lot!!! Eddie was the one who started cleaning,I was amazed. M-Fuge really must of made a BIG impact on his life I guess. So the lady who was there let us leave our trailer there. We unhooked it and we drove to the nearest EXIT. We found a Sleep Inn. John paid like ten dollars and no tax less than the original motel we were gonna use. So all of us got our over night bags and found our room. I was in a room with Donna and Megan. I took a shower. John ordered Pizza from Domino's because we hadn't had Dinner yet. I had Pepperoni pizza. Then I went to sleep on the floor again.

Day 7:At M-Fuge

Thursday was the official last day of M-Fuge.I woke up at my normal time.For breakfast I had chopped up potatoes, Then I went to Quiet Time and Biblestudy.It was all good. Next came "Send Off".Then we went over to our track sites for the last time.I had lots of fun hanging out with Rikki,Sergio,Fronze,Sandy and many,many more kids.I miss them already!!! But I figure I shouldn't be sad because I made an impact on them just by wanting to play with them. Most kids who are Spanish or African American don't like us white people because they think white people are rich and snotty. Who knows maybe I planted the seed of Salvation on them which someone else will come and help the reap a harvest!!! One girl asked me if she could have my name tag I said No but u can have these beads I got in a Send Of Celebration one night. So I gave them to her.For lunch we had ham with cheese,Lay's chips and kool-aid.Soon we headed back to camp.Some of the girls started to cry but I wasn't. I am not one to be touchy,feely.When we got back it was free time.For my free time I read my "Little Women" book and took another thirty-minute nap.For Dinner we had pizza,rice etc... It was all pretty good. Next we went back to our track rooms were we have Biiblestudy to fill out forms about how we liked camp and got each others screen names etc... Next came Worship. I found out that Joe had a crush on a girl in his track. He basically told me everything. Since Joe was afraid to ask Nicole (That is her name) he got Mark C. to ask for him.When Nicole said "Yeah" it wasn't exactly "No" or "Yes". Some how between Worship and Closing Joe found out Nicole really liked him too. So after Closing they got each other emails and addresses.We went to our dorm rooms,we prayed and then we went to bed. So ended our last day at M-Fuge

Day 6:At M-Fuge

On Wednesday I woke up at six-thirty. I did all the "stuff" I do before I go to breakfast. I went down to the Dining Hall with Sara,Donna and L.A.All I had for breakfast was cut up potatoes.Anyway I went to Quiet Time and Biblestudy. Nothing eventful happened during those activities.Next we went to our site.Sandy,Brandi and Rikki were there that day.We did the hop-hop--clap-forward-clap-back-stomp-right-foot-clap-behind-leg-clap-in-front of leg. We did good but not as well as yesterdays though.Then the kids started to go through the different areas.I did the art area.The kids made an undersea paper plate with blue surran wrap to make it all blue looking. The crafts turned out well but that paint and glue got all messy.Soon it was lunch time.Us "track peoples" has Bologna with cheese,Lay's chip and water.The sandwitchs tasted funky.Other than that it was all good.A while later the "Creative track" came and did a puppet show and sang some songs.After that Rikki,Brandi and I started playing our stomp game. Some of the "Creative track" people wanted to learn so we showed them.Sooner than it seemed we had to leave.Sandy asked if I was coming back tomorrow and I said "Yes!". I thought "Man,I am gonna miss her when I go home". So we went back to camp that we are not able to do "Mega Relay" because it was supposedly going to rain.Almost everyone went to their dorm rooms. I had to take a shower because my whole face was painted. El Stupido Drew scribbled on my pant s and legs. After I took my nice shower I read my last chapter of the first section of my "Little Women" book.After that I took a lovely thirty-minute nap.I woke up and had went down to the dining hall. I had pizza,chicken and broccoli with carrots.It was very good.We then went to Fellowship. Mark was the announcer dude. The whole show was quite funny. Then we went to our dorms,had our prayer thingie and went to bed.

Day 5:At M-Fuge

Once again on Tuesday I woke up at six-thirty. I think I started getting good at this whole getting up early idea!!! So I got ready ect.. Again I was the first one ready to get some breakfast.I had tatertots again. That was all I had.We did our Quiettime and Biblestudy. Then we went to "Send Off Celebration".That was great.So we went to our kids track area.I LOVED it so much!!! I REALLY enjoyed it to the fullest. This time for lunch we had turkey with mayonnaise,Lay's chip and oranges. It was ok. Soon it was time to go. Mark took us all to get a small Slurpee from 7Eleven. I got Darth Dew. It was great and I made sure to say "Thank-You" to Mark.Then we went back to camp. I helped drop off some stuff in theDining Hal. We were gonna go to the water park but we ran out of time. When I got to my dorm room I got dressed to go the beach. My first time all the way in the ocean was sort of scary cause the waves pull you in and to mention the nasty bad salt water that gets in yours eyes. The dumb seventh grade boys threw sand at me and I threw sand back.Somehow or another I got a cut on my knee cap. After an hour or so we went back to our dorms were I took a shower and got dressed to go to an out door mall called City place didn't like going there because it was very fancy. We went in this chocolate place were the boys from our Youth group played arm wrestling. Son we met the rest of out group at a water fountain. I found out that Nick and Taylor were caught jay-walking and then chased by security guards. They were caught though.So they were both is serious trouble with John.The weird thing is though that they had two different stories. Taylor made it sound like there wasn't even any police people!!! I personally think Nick was telling the truth.I ended up getting wet because Gage splashed me with some water from one of the fountain's. Then we all went back to our dorms. Us girls did our prayer thingie. Then we all went to sleep.

Day 4: At M-Fuge

Monday morning I woke up at six-thirty again. I did my normal "Get dressed and ready routine". Of course once again I was the first one ready to go!!! I got to wake up Donna and Sara. I tried to get Alexa to come wake them up because that is what they did to her the day before.I went into Sara and Donna's room and yelled "WAKE UP!!!". Then they both yelled at me.Alexa got there too late so she didn't get the pleasure of waking the happy campers up. After a while all of us went to get Breakfast.I had chopped up potatoes and a bagel with cream cheese.So next came Quiet Time and Biblestudy.Both were awesome. After all of that we went to "Send Off Celebration".We sang songs and prayed.Our track leader Mark jay-walked us to our bus. Apparently school buses don't have AC but o well.It took us about fifteen minutes to get there. First thing I saw of the church was a white building,rod iron gate and a sign written in Spanish and in English. So when we got in the church itself I smelt something smelly. It smelt kinda like mold but I figure is wansn't all that bad after a while.While I was there I learned some names for the rest of the week. Here are the ones I remember" Rikki,Laura,Edward,Shela, Brandi,Fronze,Sergio,Terek and Tyler.The kid I got along most with was Rikki. She was about my age and she was fun. I learned a stomp step from her and her friends. Here is how it goes:clap-front-clap-back-right-foot-stomp,clap-behind-leg-clap-in-front-of-leg. I said I would practice that step and maybe learn a new one the day after.Soon it was lunch. We had cheese and ham candidacy,law's Chips,apples and water. The water was good and so were the chips but the candidacy tasted kinda funny. Other than that everything went well. Then all of us went back to camp to have free time. I spent mine taking a nice hot shower and then read a book in the lounge. Then I walked down to Dinner where I had breaded chicken,chicken pot-pie and potatoes & onions. I liked everything.I thought we were gonna have our pictures taken for our group but because it was raining they cancelled. Next came Worship. Daniel P. fell asleep during Worship and I could hardly keep my eyes open during the sermon. Next we played a game called "The Apprentice".We played games to win points. We didn't win but you could get ice cream afterward though. There was a long line so I didn't get any. I came back to the dorm room. After a few minutes we prayed again. Then we all went back to our rooms and went to bed

Day 3:At M-Fuge

At six-thirty on Sunday I was awaken by no body.I literally woke up at six-thirty by myself!!!. I was dressed and ready to go.Of course I was the ONLY one ready to go. About seven o'clock we all went to down to eat Breakfast. I had tater-tots and a piece if French toast. It was all good. Next came quiet time in our track room.I did everything like I was supposed to.Afetr Quiet Time came Biblestudy. Some of the girls dabbled in my some trouble. We played a few games. Then we went to Worship, it wasn't long though because the people were having "sound-difficulties".So a few minutes later we went to a training class which taught us how to tell a kids about Christ and the Roman road escheat...Back to the Dining hall we walked to get lunch. Daniel P. and the PYCr's (Paint,Yardwork,construction) started yelling "PYC Whoohaa". It was VERY LOUD!!! I had pizza and an egg roll. Lunch was also good.Once we went to Worship. The sermon was about how the Lord is our Shepard and stuff. I enjoyed myself. After about an hour in Worship everyone cam back together with their church's for church bible studies. John did an so wicked awesome job.Kaitlin,Donna,Sara,L.A and I went to see "Open Mic-Night".We sat there for a half minute watching a girl sing mournfully "Old MicDonald Had a Farm".It was a waste of a half minute but wahteva. All of us were bored so we left and went to the M-Fuge store.I didn't buy anything though. I REALLY wanted to go back to our dorm. So Donna and Kaitlin took me We got there and L.A weren't there. It was about eleven forty-eight so we were worried that they were gonna get locked out. Luckily for them they were able to get in. Well after a while I got my PJ's on. All the girls met in Megan's and L.A's dorm room to have a prayer time.Then all of us went back to our dorm rooms.

Day 2:Traveling to M-Fuge/At M-Fuge

On Saturday I woke up to a cold hotel room. I got up and got dressed. Soon everyone was out the door.Then we piled into the two vans.We stopped at McDonald's for lunch but I didn't get anything due to the fact I don't really like McDonald's breakfast food.So anyway John A. drove for at least three ours. Son "Mr.-I-Gotta-Pee-Eric" had to go really bad.I think Eric has a bladder the size of a peanut.We stopped at a gas station because the windshield wipers on the other van weren't working which didn't help much because it was raining.So Mr.S and Mr.A tried to fix it.While they were working on that everyone went to McDonald's again for Lunch.It took FOREVER to get my food. I ended up having to eat my food in the van. A few hours later we stopped again to pick up Taylor,Alexa's cousin who was coming to M-Fuge with us.Once again we started back on the road. Sooner than it seemed we entered West Palm Beach.It was quite fun during the torrential down poor of rain as we drove!!!We then got out and went into a building where we watched a video about the rules. It was kinda funny. Afterward we had to carry our luggage to our dorms. Well right about this time it started to rain. It was weirdly fun drudging through the rain with a heavy duffel-bag. I ended up "rooming" with Tammy.We went to Worship were we sang songs and heard a guy named Brian preach. We then all went back to our dorms. Next we went to our track groups. I got the "Kids" track that I wanted. I learned everyone's name ext...After about an hour we went back to Worship. Were we sang more songs,watched a skit and prayed.Due to the torrential down poor of earlier I went to get my back-pack,overnight bag and my CD's out of the van.Ten I went down stairs to the lounge place to take pictures of girls from our Youth Group playing pool.After a while I got bored and came back up to my room.Then I went to sleep

Day 1:Trip to M-Fuge

A Friday ago at three o'clock our Youth Group started our trip to West-Palm Beach,Flordia.Right away we had the music blasting and a million conversations going on at one time.This is what the seating arrangements were: John A. was driving,Tammy in the co-Pilate seat,I sat by the window with Daniel P. and his girlfriend Leslee next to me. Behind us were Mark C,Daniel A. and Ashley.Next was Eric,Joe and Gage.In the WAY back sat Kacey,Lacey and Megan. Anyway we sat in the car for a long time. When it became five o'clock we stopped at Wendy's to have Dinner.I ate Spicey chicken fillet combo/I can't really think of a ton of stuff that happened but here is one thing. I was drinking some Gatorade out of a bottle when someone said something funny. So I thought I was going to swallow then laugh but I laughed first. I spewed a mouth full of Gatorade on the people on the front seat with me and the people driving and co-piloting. It was quite embarrassing. After many hours in the rental van we finally got to our hotel. I was in a room with Donna,Sara and Megan. I slept on the floor near the AC.Megan slept in a bed by herself and Sara and Donna shared a bed. So ended the first half of our traveling experiences.

FUZED

Mom,Dad,Mark,John Russel and Jamie dropped me off my dance friend Elizabeth's church. When I stepped out of the car there was Elizabeth and my other dance friend Kaylyn (AKA Bubbles) next to her. Then we went inside the churchand I signed up to win a door prize. While signing up I met Daniel P's girlfriend apon which I found out she goes to that church. Finally the people incharge opened the doors and we all went in. Som eof the people were setting off blow horns and coffeti thingies. I followed Bubbles and Elizabeth to the third row were we sat down. After a few minutes they gave out the door prizes. Elizabeth won a bucket full of 120 pieces of Dubble Bubble gum. Soon after we sang some songs. I don't think I knew any of them but I sang anyway. A few songs later we sat down again. I believe we listened to a guy talk for about thirty minutes. Awhile after that we sang three songs I actually knew. The ONLY wrost part of the whole singing was that the music was REALlY pumped up and it hurt my ears because in one patr the speaker squeeked VERY loudly!!! Then we dismissed to have Domino's pizza. While waiting in the line I saw Andrew F. but for some odd reason I called out "Hi,Andrew R.". You see we have two different Andrews at our church,it can be very confusing. Anyway I corrected myselfafter sayin that. A few minutes later I got two pepporoni pizzas and went to sit outside with Elizabeth and Bubbles. We talked and stuff. My MOm came and picked me up and we went home.

My First Day Back to Youth Group

This afetrnoon at six thirtish I was able to go to Youth Group due to the fact AWANA is over.I am so relieved to no longer have my "Challenge" to deal with yet his older brother is moving up to Youth in a week (tear,tear,sniffle,snifflle). John told us to move the couchs so we did. So anyway,in the start of Youth we played this game where you had a balloon on a string tied to your ankle. Ever one else did also. You had to try to pop everyone elses balloon without yours getting popped. I am not a "Sporty" type so right when the game started my balloon got popped.It was the greatest fun watching the other guys and girls run around yo pop each others balloon with such great force of want. After that arrousing game we moved the couchs back into place. John said to get our Fuel notebooks. He said if you don't have a notebook,get a blank one from the back. So since I didn't I got one.Then we watched this sorta funny,stupid movie. It was oddly funny (almost like how my little brother likes Spongebob cause it is stupid). A little while later John talked about the movie, read stuff from the Bible and filled in the blanks to the sentances on a sheet of paper. Afterward I got a piece of paper and made a sign "Layla's Fuel Notebook" for my Fuel notebook. Of course Layla insant my name but Layla means Persian:night child. I am a night owl and stay up very late!!! I also like the name Azura cause it means blue sky. I may make a new sign that says "Azura's Fuel Notebook". Then Mom,Jamie and I went home in Izzie.

End of the School Year Party 2005

This afternoon at five thirty Jamie,Mom,Dad and I went to SCBC for the Annual End of the School Year Party. When we got there right away we saw all the boys Jamie's age were goofing off in front of the Brick Building. After a few minutes we all went in. Of course there was the nine girls who giggle and draw on the white board,the eight or so boys who play outside,the little babies,the adults who talk the whole time and little old me bored out of my mind. I casually glanced over at the food table,I noticed that most of the stuff on the table was "organic and natural". Literally most of the stuff there was potato salad,"organic potato chips,"organic ketchup and some baked potatoes. Lucky for me they had hot dogs and bbq. A few ladies wouldn't eat the ketchup because it had sugar in it. Gawwly,it is ONLY a little sugar for crying out loud!!! Like the WHOLE Co-op group are ALL "into" Organic and natural. I mean it is good in some ways but when you refuse ketchup because it has a tad bit of sugar,does anyone agree with me that is a tad bit too much??? People like that just make me wanna scream at times. Anyway,Mr. O prayed over the food. Everyone then ate some food. I personally didn't have much of a selection though. So I ate,I sat on my butt tried to read a book but I couldn't. After few hours we all went home.

Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants

This afternoon at three fifteen my Mom and I went to see "The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants" at the Commonwealth 20. We first got a big tub of popcorn (which we half devoured before the movie even started),Buncha crunch,bottled water and Diet Pepsi. After we stopped at the concession stand we went straight to the theatre. Mom and I sat almost at the very top. Anyway,we saw a bunch of commercials but not a lot of them looked that good. One thing I noticed was that there is going to be a lot of G rated movies so I guess that will better.So after the commercials came the actual movie. Lemme tell you all one thing "DON'T,may I repeat DON'T bring your little brothers,older brother,Dads or any males for that fact. This movie is strictly a "Chic flik". Any boys or men who would go would have to watch some "Manly Man" type of shoot um up movie after all that girly stuff. If you are looking for a good cry,romance and some laughs you should see The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants. Make sure that you don't drink a lot of liquids during this movie because you are going to have to go the bathroom during the last half hour of it. Trust me,just lay off the drinks toward the last half hour. All in all this movie was decent and quite clean except the characters said "grass" without the gr a lot. So other than that a few scenes that only girls would understand it was pretty much "All Good".
