Although I am SOOO incredibly confused about who’s on my team… I’ve had almost everyone from my church on my team, or intended for my team… and at the last moment they completely switched my team… so I really hope it stays the same for the rest of the year! Right now, it’s me, Abbey, Josc, and Arika.
OK, but I’d better move on to some stories, eh?
me: “So if we don’t know it, just say ooh, shiny! right?”
Sam: *laughs* “You know, it would be really funny if you just said that and it was right, like if the question was two men in what kind of clothes and you said ooh, shiny! and they said correct!”
me: “Yeah… it would be like, WHAT??”
Then, a little later on in the day, I was watching one of Antion’s quizzes. He didn’t know the answer in the exact words, mumbled something about, “Um, an angel of the Lord… appeared… brought a message from God… in shiny clothes!”
me: *tries very hard not to laugh*
Quizmaster: “Correct.”
me: *really seriously cracks up* 
*as we finish up an 8-person prayer*
Jenna: “Hey, look! Someone has a cute little smiley face on their finger! Whose hand is that?”
me: *looks at mess of hands on top of each other* *thinks oh, that is cute* *thinks oh, what do you know, that’s drawn on my fingernail with a Sharpie* *thinks really I am not the brightest sometimes* “Um, that’s me.”
Jenna: “So what’s it named?”
me: “It doesn’t really have a name yet.”
Jenna: “OK, it can be Harold.”
Josh: “Oh look! A hunter!”
us all in car: *look*
Josh: “Isn’t he hard to see?” (in all bright orange against green trees and a green hill… yeah, quite hard.” 
me: *is reading Aragorn and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day* (and I suggest you read it before you finish reading my entry...)
Sam: *starts reading over my shoulder* *starts laughing hysterically*
me: *hands it to Sam* “You have read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, right?”
Sam: “Yeah.” *finishes reading*
me: *passes it to Andrew*
Andrew: “I’ve never read it.”
me: “Oh my goodness, what a terribly deprived childhood!”
Sam: “…well, I didn’t read it until the beginning of junior high.”
me: “Uh… you were trying to catch up on your terribly deprived childhood.”
Sam: “Something like that!”
...
Sam and I spent the next several minutes repeating to each other, “I hope you sit on Sting, I said…”
...
Talk about easily amused!
Then let’s see, what else happened…
We got to the quizzing place, had our coach stolen from us so that he could be a quizmaster *pout* and quizzed like crazy. ^_^
me: *says a bunch of stuff, anything related to the answer that I could think of*
Quizmaster: “OK, correct.”
Josc: “You keep doing that!”
me: “That’s, like, three times now…”
Josc: “I know! But it keeps working!”
Josc: *praying* “…because we know that it’s not really all about winning… Amen.”
me: “But You know, we really would like to win one…”
Not that we ever did. *sigh* But I got a lot of quotes, so that made me happy…
*at lunch*
me: “These pieces of pizza are HUGE!”
Sam: “Oh, I know. I was thinking that I would buy two, but then I saw the price… but then I saw how big they were, and so…”
OK, and now for a few random observations:
~some of the kids think they can NOT quiz without caffeine… tons and tons of caffeine. For example, the one girl today (and she’s about 14) had bought a huge cup of coffee with a high caffeine content.
Also a bottle of Jolt.
Also a pack of Jolt gum.
Um, excuse me, and you wonder why you feel lousy by the end of the day???
~In Borders (the bookstore, ya know) I was highly amused to find The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy under the heading Horror.
Um, excuse me, what is horrific about that book? It’s GOOFY!
~Also in Borders, I found out that the book Eragon has been made into a movie. This could be good, thought I.
Ha.
I found some pictures from the movie, and they have completely messed up something as basic as the one character’s hair color. I know that the hair color in itself is not a big deal, but it seems so … elementary! The book clearly states that she has black hair, and they go and cast a blonde. GRRR. It does not inspire great confidence in me that the movie will be especially true to the book…
Oh yeah, the other thing was I got to hear our material for this quiz, Acts 8-10, on the way down. The sound system was nice, too... except for a few times when the speakers weren't quite syncronized...
Yep, I had Sam on my left, Andrew on my right, and Antion in front of me.
