Singpolyma

So I'm almost done school YAY! didn't do too well on my final chem exam… hope I pass :S *sigh* but hey, let's not let that get me down! nothing I can do about it anyway. In a few short weeks I should be done all my schoolwork… if I don't procrastinate through it all ;P Been doing a lot of code lately to keep myself busy. Chels has like two months left of grounding (don't remind me!) but I'm making it ok — one day at a time uhh *thinks* the pool is open again! they had closed it to drain+clean+repaint it, but they're done so we can go again, so that's cool. Ah, right, the 'situation' here, I should mention that. As of right now the official word is that the rebels are licking their wounds in Soudan and the election is tomorrow. Word on the street is that they've regrouped and are 'moving south' — which means to Sahr and then here. The military in town are prepping just in case. Should be interesting, hehe. Aaaand, nothing much else happening so I'll end this post for now

So Trev tagged me and I'm gonna do this thing:

And so I do tag my brother Daniel

So I haven't posted in awhile… since Chels was first grounded which makes about 16 days. So what's been going on? Well the two primary recent events around here are the Heritage Fair and my brother's birthday party.

Heritage Fair
The Heritage Fair was a lot of fun. I didn't look at the projects much (I never do) but they looked alright. I got to hold Emme Ezel most of the day (I love babies, and she is soo cute! :D) she has got to be the best-mannered baby I've ever played with too, hehe We played a couple games, one where you had to do a sand painting as fast as you could, one where you wrapped your teammate up in toilet paper to make a 'totem pole', one where you carried a paper 'kiwi' to a bowl by sucking on it with a straw (if that makes any sense) and the o-so-traditional trivia game. Then we had the International Dinner, which was very interesting, as always. We had macaroni and cheese, cabbage rolls, some sort of german potatoe salad, cheddar scalloped potatoes, crépes, maple surup pie, and some other stuff. Really good stuff, and lots of it If you want a second opinion check out my bros blog.

Dan's B-Day
Dan's bday was yesterday, and that was a lot of fun too We had TWENTY people there! comes from his birthday coinciding with spring break for RFIS and Palmview, so we had the whole Hoyt family (well, ok, not the boys, they're in college, but whatever), the Puhl kids and their caretaker (not their parents though, hehe), and various and sundry others voilà. We did a bonfire with pizza and cake and then we the lesser in age played a few rounds of Mafia. Then at about 9:30 we all came back to our house (not all twenty of us, but those of us that were still coherent enough by that point, mostly the moins-agé) and watched Cool Runnings (gotta love that movie! :D)

And that's about a goodness for updating all of thou on my wonderful livings. On another note, for those of you who prefer the wonderfully useless and inferior (sorry, I'm biased ;P) Xanga subs mechanism I am now cross-posting all my personal blog posts to there.

Chels is grounded… maybe for good. I'm not gonna blow all the details out here in public, but I'm just asking if you could all pray for me.. and mark too. This is already hard and it's not even halfway through the first day for me yet. Thanks

So this is to be a short update on what has been happening in my life… which is just about not so muchness. We watched Patch Adams on Saturday — great movie that one I'm staying on top in my schoolwork and my grades seem to be moving upward, which is a positive thing (no pun intended, or was it intended? I hate it when an author purposely draws attention to a might-be pun so I'm gonna shut up now ) I've fixed the 'recent comments' element in my sidebar, which has been misbehaving due to some laziness on my part. Uhh… *thinks* I had something else to go in here… didn't I? maybe not Life runs smoothly along and all that fun stuf… we have our tickets (did I tell you that?) for June 20-something staying in Germany a few days to visit my Mom's cousin… then home before the end of June and… who knows what from there Really looking forward to meeting Trev and all that fun stuff
Some of you may have noticed (if you didn't, notice now! haha ) the 'nsa blogs' element in my sidebar. If it looks like a blogring that's because it is. If you xanga people are wondering if it can be added to Xangas as well, it can. Such is the power of Wrinks — blogrings that can be added to any blog and that any blog can be added to! One more step towards bridging the gap to our Xanga-bound neighbours If you want to join the NSA Blogring you'll need to go to that page, sign up for an account, and then click the 'request to add site to wrink' link and enter your blog's information. I'll check the page periodically and approve new entries onto the ring.

Worry not for tomorrow, 'cause you'll most likely die this afternoon
