One of the burners on our grill doesn't light when I turn the electric clicky thing that's supposed to light it, so we just turn the propane on and then light it with a stick or something lit from the burner that does what it's supposed to. Well, the stick popped like wood does when it burns, and a spark flew into my eye and left a piece of ash that I had to get out. It's still sort of red and sore; during church it was watering like crazy. (One kind of scary things was that I could feel the fluids on my eye sizzle before the spark went out. O.o)

8. When was the last time you said "thanks"(or "thank you")? To whom and for what? *To my grandma last night for taking us to a concert :)*

Who did you go to listen to? :D

Wow, all of them? I'm reading some of them now. They're a little bit like reading the KJV. xP Anyway, so what I was really getting at was this: if you'd lived back then, do you think you would have been a Federalist or an Anti-federalist? xP

*cries* Why do y'all have interesting conversations when I'm not here?

'Cause you don't get on often enough... :P

^ That. Emily, you need to bless us with your presence more often! x)

Sorry, Emily. :P

Now I'm terribly curious to know what you think about it. xP

^Unfortunately, it was nothing like the Bontragers, if you were wondering. =P^ Our church has a high school up in Michigan, and they have a music group called SOUND that tours the country after graduation and comes around here once every three years. It was cool to see them, especially because we're acquainted with a few of the members this year. :)

Oh, haha. xP Well, I was just thinking about that recently, actually. From as much (or should I say "as little"?) as I know about Federalists vs Anti-federalists, I think, as of right now, I probably would have been a moderate Federalist… To the modern day me, having never lived under the Articles of Confederation, "strong central government" is terrifying. But, I think it was important for the states to work together and have a federal government that had power to bring unity. Also, the Anti-Federalist position on France seems pretty ridiculous. I don't know…I don't think I'd ever be a Hamiltonian Federalist though. =P

Same here. The Anti-federalists brought up some things that really needed to be considered (for example, I'm really glad they pushed so hard for a Bill of Rights- can you imagine where we'd be today without it? :P), but I'd probably be mostly a Federalist, although not as hardcore as some of them- like Hamilton- were. I kinda like the Senate better than the House anyway. xP (Not necessarily their current politics, but as far as their general rules and procedures and things I do. xP)

Ohhh! I'm not Nic, but Sam texted me this morning, saying that he's been sick. Poor guy.

The point of doing that was to ask the question. xP

Marija, Zach, and Katrina: thank you for praying for me this afternoon. I'm feeling better this evening after resting and taking some medicine for it, and I know your prayers also had something to do with it. =)

Glad to hear you're doing better. :)
