Social Chatting #7

Yeah….

You've probably said before, but how many years have you done Bible Bee?

When really, they aren't confusing, they are just for a selective audience.

All of them. How long have you?

All of them too. Except I didn't really study in '09. Which years have you been to Nationals?

Just last year and this year.

I didn't really study in '09, and I didn't know how to study in '10, then I almost made it in '11.

Okay. I qualified '11, '12 and '13. 2010 I didn't know how to study either…I only memorized half my verses and did the parts of my Sword Study that were interesting.

How many years do you have left? Next year is my last.

That's so sad. Except we'll all be happy when you take over editing smile

I know. Part of me is glad that I will be done and can move on to "helping", but a much bigger part wishes that the Bible Bee started when I was a lot younger.

Same here…

Are you planning on helping when you are too old?

Yes! I really, really want to. Are you? Like with judging?

Packing peanuts, perhaps?

I am planning on signing up as "To old for Seniors Critic".

Ah, I see. Fun! smile

Lol!

I made myself a lovely title at one point… I will try to find it.

Okay.

Here: I came up with one each for Sarah and I: "Sarah Eddy: Head of the General Criticism Department and Senior Voice of Reason" and "Margaret Eddy: Heart of the General Criticism Department and Junior Voice of Reason".

Wow, that's great!!

I'm not sure if it is the greatest thing to go by, but I would be better at it than "Spirit Leader"!

I would love to see someone's face after you introduced yourself like that. smile

Yeah, that certainly does seem like it fits you better than "Spirit Leader"!

No way, I want a name tag!

Okay, when they read your name tag!

But, if I did that, I would probably end up in a corner somewhere getting a lecture from some overly concerned lady with no sense of humor about not having such a critical spirit. Which would be bad.

So I settled with editor, which is next best.

Yeah, that probably would happen. And that would be bad. Oh well…. Did you guys go to the desert reception?

Yes; I groan inwardly.

Yeah, that makes sense smile

You did!?? I kept looking for you all. You didn't want to go?

Overly concerned ladies with no sense of humor are attracted to me like magnets. I fascinate them.

She made us wave our hands in the air… and I predicted it five minutes before it happened.

Oh wow, that doesn't sound very good…

I saw you several times.

There are a few stories that I prefer not to recall…

Ooooh yeah. I forgot about that part

You forgot? How could you forget?

I never saw you once!! I saw Sarah when we were all sitting there waiting for the processional and was waiving frantically, but I couldn't really talk at all right then…

Because I didn't really….ahem do it very much. I was too busy talking smile

I didn't do it at all, and I remembered.

Hmm…. Did you go to the movie?

I was practicing my "being invisible" up for avoiding hand-waving.

Yes.

I see. That is pretty cool that you can just become invisible like that! smiles

What did you think of it? We didn't go because we wanted to stay and talk with everyone.

It is more like "very inconspicuous". I almost tripped over you a couple of times throughout Thursday.

It was not as well done, nor as badly done, as it could have been.

cries I never saw you once! Totally oblivious me.
