No, not really. =) I like school. But it took *TO* much time.

There. :P

Were back! But only for a little bit! ^an then we have to go play dumb games….^ and then I'll be back forever!

@Nicolas - Don't want to take your time just to find it. I believe you, even though I've been trying so hard to do better on them. =)

@Leah - Very well! Verses are coming along quite well, and will be ready for nationals! Nahum is good, though I'm not as far along as I would like.

Ah! You should have told me!

Eh, maybe I should have; I am the MV Grammatician, after all. :P I'll go back and find it, if you want me to... xP

BTW…Titus made Nats, right? How is he?

SERIOUSLY! I missed it on that?! Whatever. thanks for pointing it out to me. =)

Yep–11th place, in fact! :D He's been doing pretty well; he's been memorizing nearly on track, and Rosie's been helping him with studying. I think he's gonna do great. :D

Oh! That's awesome! Good for Titus!!

I've been forgetting to tell you this for a while now... A few months back, I was riding my bike around an old abandoned parking lot. I was riding around, when I saw a McDonalds bag that on the ground. It seemed to have something in it, but it was crumpled, and nearly flat. I thought to myself "It's probably a trap; a mine set by Roy to blow up those foolish enough to ride over it." Thus, I rode around it. But then I thought "How would Roy know that I'd be cycling out here at this time, just to blow me up?" Then, I thought "Well, only one way to find out." I then turned towards it, and pedaled over it at full speed. When it didn't explode, I thought "Roy needs to work on his traps!" And yes, I actually thought all this. For real. :)

SERIOUSLY? its really not that far fetched. i had an Idea once for parking lot Bombs out of Pepsi cans that detonated when crushed by parking vehicles.

Would any other time work for you? Our family is planning on going out several times during the week.

I'm not certain what our exact plans will be for the week. But from what I've heard, my dad is going to be spending a good deal of time at Disney World, with some of us being there with him at various times during the week… but that doesn't seem nearly as important as this… IDK. I'd have to be sure of specific times that we're available in order to tell you for certain–but I do not have such knowledge as of yet. I'll keep you updated as well as I am able. :)

Ah! You should have told me!

Hehe! I was going to say "Give him a hug for me…" then remembered that I was talking to Nicolas.

Aw. Well, try to finish your dumb games quickly. xP

^ _ ^ course you did!

Okay, that sounds good! We're not going to many extra events at Nationals, so we're hoping to get as much done as we can. I'm bringing 90 pounds of tracts, so it would be good to have some help getting them out! :D Just let me know what time would work for you.

WOW, that's a lot. xD I'd love to help out with that! I hope it'll work out. :)

Congrats on finishing your verses, Nicolas! Did you hear about the Oral Round change?

Ben Walley is the same personality type as you… and he likes hugs (one of the unusual kinds of his type). XD

Well a Wendy's bag maybe, but not McDonald's. that's just waaayy to obvious! :P

Congrats on finishing your verses, Nicolas! Did you hear about the Oral Round change?

Well, I'm almost finished, but close enough. ;D Yeah, I did… I'm okay with the idea myself, but I really don't think that others will like it. Some people get nervous when quoting in front of others, and that could affect their performance, I think.

Weeell, good for Ben Walley. :P

You always reminded me of a cat. Stubborn. Ill-tempered. Quick to attack someone. :P

Me too!! I'm also planning on going to a mosque/Islamic center 2 miles from the hotel, and distributing tracts in there. I'm really excited about that!! :D :D It's such a joy to spread the Gospel!

Wow, that's awesome! Yes, it is indeed. :D

Drew finally got a call from his recruiter saying when he's leaving!

And you always reminded me of a mosquitoe. Mean. Annoying. Everyone wants to crush you. Always biting people….:p

I'd like your opinion on it. So each contestant gets to hear all the other contestants in their room recite. This means that contestant 1 is at a disadvantage compared to contestant 12 because contestant 12 can eliminate 110 passages from the list because each contestant receives different verses, and contestant 12 can find patterns in the length of the verses. Using logic regarding time limits, contestant 12 might even be able to pinpoint a few passages that they will be asked. Does this sound unfair, or am I missing something?

Well, only if contestant 12 is really concentrating on the passages being asked. But really, I don't think it matters; all of the contestants will have a virtually equal opportunity to quote whatever passages they are asked–it makes little difference whether they know ahead of time some of the passages that they are going to be asked, especially since they obviously don't have any opportunity to study those passages even if they can narrow them down.

Hi for a minute!!

I know for myself, if I knew what length of verses to expect, that would waaaay lessen my nervousness which is what most of my mistakes are from, and give me a good idea of how fast I need to speak…
