Currently Watching Groundhog Day By Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell see related

Hi,

This is why procrastination is bad. Last post on wednesday said that I would post "tomorrow". It is now sunday. and I still haven't posted. Can't really remember what happened on wed, thurs, fri, (well maybe a little fri). But, I will try my best.

Wednesday,

(insert stuff Jimbo did on wednesday here) Ok, I really don't remember what happened wednesday, except the usual school/church/nerd stuff. So, if you did anything with my on wednesday (even if it was just wave in the hall) email me about it, and I will put it in here.

Thursday

(see wednesday, but insert thursday where ever it says wednesday)

Friday

I kinda remember today. I think Ryan got his permit today. or yesterday. this is no fun. ryan is driving before me. zipping by me in his mama's volvo. While my dad's volvo is just sitting out in the snow. I really want a van now more than ever. Cuz having a van would rock so much. I don't know why. Just micealaneous reasons. (I know it is spelled wrong, but I am not going to look it up) Had a dream that I started a coffee shop out of my van once. It rocked. But I am getting off subject, so..... Today, I did the regular school stuff. (Yawn) O! The stupid school got rid of one of the vending machines. Now none of the machines in the school have gummy worms. I almost cried. Then I bought gummy bears and felt better. Anyway, left for a scout trip today. My mom went to a movie while I was away. In fact she left for the movie before I was even gone. I got a ride to the school where we were meeting from my scoutmaster. He was about 30 min late, but that was good. Because while I was waiting on the porch, I realized that I almost forgot my sleeping bag. So, we made it up to camp tahosa. It was freezing. It wouldn't have been cold, but the wind was going like a million miles per hour. We walked into our cabin and found a frozen squirrel beneath the stove. we took that out with a shovel. And I, (being the troop FIRE EXPERT) started the fire. The cabin took forever to warm up, considering the stove is the only heat. Then we had crackers and other snack type stuff as an evening snack. And the guys played "Mafia" (card game) for a while. (I should never have taught them that game, it is probably the loudest thing they could ever do) (which is funny, considering it is a fairly quiet game) (at least it drains their energy) Mr. B, (our scoutmaster) told them all about Tahosa Tommy (a fictional ghost that haunts the camp with an axe) and scared the bajeebees out of a bunch of the scouts. I got a new nickname to add to all the other ones I have gotten over my scouting career. For most of the trip I was known as "Sir, yes sir" eventhough our troop is the least military troop ever. I got other nicknames over the weekend, but this is just friday night, so I will say those later. Richie, told me that I was a good senior patrol leader, which brought a tear to my eye and a fire to my heart. (Then I realized that I had fallen on the stove and should probably get off) jk. The good spl part is true, but all the other cheesy stuff is false. That was friday.

end of friday.

Saturday

Saturday. Very good day. Woke up about 5 seconds before taps. This was one of the few campouts where we had a bugler, so we actually had taps. Later in the day the bugler got sick, so that was the only taps we had all weekend, but still taps. I was afraid there was going to be an epidemic considering all of the kids had been screwing around the night before with the bugle, but luckily there wasn't. We snow shoed down to the lake and went sledding, and had a giant snowball fight on liberty rock. Liberty rock is this giant hill they have next to the lake that has a lot of cool places to sled and stuff. Then, after that got cold, we went back up to the cabin and played some cards. I did pretty well at hearts, but couldn't beat Mr. B. He is a beast. I fixed my snowpants with duct tape. and took a hike down to the meadow with joe and andy. we signed off some stuff for andy's next rank. and talked about random junk.

Ok, this is a different paragraph because it is the best part of the day. Our troop has made the newest and greatest winter sport. We call it, Sockey. Although this is also the name of a japanese alcoholic beverage, it is actually a cross between soccer and hockey.

The 2nd annual Tahosa Sockey Tournement featured

The Troop 63: Team Nameless. Featuring: Dave B, Mark B, Richie H, Joe T, and Alex B

vs.

The Troop 63: Fighting dumples. Featuring: Andy W, Jim L, Matt L, Brian B, and star forward Jimbo Baggins.

It was a tough game. Team Nameless began with three goals that were unanswered until far into the 2nd period. Then, Jimbo Baggin's first goal lead the spirits of the Fighting Dumples like a speeding freight train into the moral of Team Nameless. J. Baggins almost scored a double hat trick. Andy W, made 3 goals. Jim L made 1. Brian B made two. And the teams fearless goalie Matt L stopped countless shots. The teams victory dances became more and more elaborate as the game progressed. The victory dances even had names, such as, spinning dumples, and the wall of dumples.

End the end the fighting dumples emerged victorious. The only major injury of the game actually happened after the game, when richie fell down and got a nice bruise. Medical professionals brought him up the mountain on a sled while the rest of the winded players followed behind (by medical professionals, I mean Joe.) (it wasn't that bad) Richie was a trooper despite the fact that his face swelled to be larger than Mr. B's van. (jk richie) Dinner was spaghetti. (compliments to chef andy) quite good. breadsticks included. I might even say it was close to Olive Garden standards. Richie stayed in bed for quite a while because his blow to the head was just short of a concussion, so he was a bit nauseaus. (how the heck do you spell that?) He had me come over and tell him jokes. Then we talked about Austin Powers for a pretty long time. It ended with everybody crowded around richie's bunk (which was barely big enough for richie, much less the whole group) I wrote the sermon for sunday morning, since I am the troop's chaplain's aid. I think all in all, it was a good day.

Ok, Sunday. almost done. and I need to finish, cuz everybody is gone to bed, and I have english to do. (that is what I call procrastination) This morning we packed up. I had a chocolate muffin. it was fricken awesome. all the glory of muffins and chocolate mixed into one beautiful breakfast delight. Then we had the first church service in troop 63 history. (Considering I am the first official chaplain's aid in troop 63 history.) Our goal was to leave at 9:30, but I think we left at like 9. That was really good. That meant that I would be able to take a shower before my meeting at the church. We got back to Columbine at about 10:45. I went home and took a shower, and unpacked. Then I went to the church for my belize meeting. That went until like 1:45ish. Then my dad and I drove stevie home from that, and I had to clean my room. I cleaned that. and did other chores. (my mom kept assigning me more things to do) I went to clairissa's house this afternoon. (I think that was why my mom was stalling me) (I think that subconsciencely she was slowing me down because she is worried that she is losing her little boy or something) (Phylis said that was insightful, you think so?) (So she spelled the name wrong on a card, and instead of just getting another card from the ones she had made she decided to erase pen.) (I am not saying she intentionally spelled it wrong, but maybe something inside her made her do it) I am not sure. Anyway, Clairissa had never seen the movie Groundhog Day, so I brought that over to her house, and we watched it with her mom, and little brother and sister. It was fun. Clairissa's mom made cookies. They were awesome. And I had candy hearts. They were awesome too. I found out that clairissa likes the green ones. and her mom likes the yellow ones. and that I don't know what kind I like, but it certainly isn't pink. I think it is funny that our world is so technologically advanced that those hearts say "fax me" on them. That is love right there, say it with a computer copy of your love note. My gosh. Plus there was one that said page me. This must be the "busy surgeon pak" or something. Weird. Crazy people with their fax machines. Anyway, for dinner, we had steak, which was really good. I hadn't had steak in a long time. We have alot of chicken in the baggins home. so a good old cow was just the ticket. plus there were potatoes and salad and all the things a boy could ever need. I had a poke war with clairissa's little brother and sister. (which I regret to say that they won) we watched some of "Robin Hood, Men In Tights" on ABC family, and then I had to go to youth group at 6:30. Clairissa and her mom gave me a ride to the church. (they rock) (plus they are like the only two people that actually read this anyway) I went into church, and there was cake. (provided by clairissa's mom) It was yummy. I can always use some cake. We played knockout, and I rocked it. In fact, I think it was the best game of my life. I made practically every shot. We played pictionary. Here's what I drew. See if you can guess. (from the bible) click it.

ok, if you guessed covenant, you are correct. If the bedsheets don't make sence, it was because I was going for covernant, but nobody figured that out. I didn't think it was that bad. heh. That was pretty much youth group for the night. Some of the pictionary got pretty hardcore, but I am going to keep this post pg. If you want to know about it, talk to me on aim or msn. O, I said I would tell you my other nickname. I am now also known as reverand jimbo. crazy boy scouts with their nicknames. Anyway, today was a good day. hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
