Now You Know

you wonder why i haven't posted? well i was on a secret ninja mission. or a mission trip. you know same thing right? well yeah i went to philedelphia from saturday to saturday with a total of 40 hours on a bus and 4 to 5 hours in a van. yay for transportation! or not (but the rides were pretty fun some of the time). there are some terms or phrases that are used on mission trips. to understand the experience you should know these things.

undead- this term is used in a game i call dead/undead which is where you use some imaginary method of killing someone (stab, blow dart, grenade, etc.). once you have killed them they have to fall over and act dead until you say undead to them. no one but the killer can bring them back to life.

hygiene- this is something you will not find a lot of on a mission trip. it's not like we want it that way but it's true. this is because it's so hot so you're sweating all the time and we can only take 2 or 3 minute showers (where there's almost no water pressure so you can't use that much shampoo and conditioner).

ice cream cone- this is a code word for a hot guy. other variations include 1 to 5 scoops, a bucket, and the whole damn store.

floss box- the box of string that magically intrigued everyone on the bus and convinced them to obsessively start making bracelets and other jewelry.

fans- they become your best friend on a mission trip. don't be surprised if people are shoved out of the way to get a chance to catch the cool air of the fan or hear someone say "what haven't you ever seen someone blow themselves?" (yes someone actually said that and knew how it sounded).

piano man- this was the song of the week. at any time there was a possibility that you would hear people sionging this. why? i have no idea.

water ice- the magical combination of ice and ice cream that everyone was obsessed with. i had it 3 times and some people had it  more.

contact- the best game ever that is hard to explain.

attendance- somehow the most hilarious thing ever thanks to mike.

secret ninja (or not),
