CIY Believe: Be There or Be Square

Yo. I got back last night from CIY, and it was so awesome! It was super fun, even though Gabby and Heather didn't come *cry*. Lol. For those of you who don't know, CIY stands for Christ in Youth, and it's this Jr.High Christian convention thing. There's also one for highschoolers. On Friday after school, my mom picked me up and we went to The Gap Outlet. I got these awesome teal jeans, an orange sweater, reg jeans, and a cream color shirt. Overall, a good experience. Then my mom dropped me off in the church parking lot, where I waited for a few minutes with Morgan, Serena, Jessica, ect. Once everyone had arrived, we took the longest freaking way possible to the Wendy's around NKU, because we were to late to check into the hotel (the Brawbridge Inn). I got four chicken nuggets lol. NKU, the location of CIY, was the next stop. The first session was really cool, and so was the second. There was a cool stunt guy named Brent. He did flips off of stairs and platforms and things like that. He had a video that was like a metaphor to God creating us, and one the "drones" were chasing him, they would stop the video and they would chase him around the arena while he was doing flips and stuff. It was awesome! I heard last year he fell. There was also this really funny and sarcastic illusionist. I was laughing the whole time during his thing. After two sessions, it was probably 10:30ish, and it was time to go back to the hotel.
First, everybody got assigned rooms. I was with Jessica and Margaret. I changed into some pjs and went down the hall to this get-to-know-you thing, because a lot of people were from our Harison location. Then we went back to our rooms. I played a game with some other girls, and went back to my own room to settle down. That did NOT happen. Hehe. We got so hyper! Jessica needed scissors to cut something (ahbviously), so we went around asking people for scissors. Thes dudes with accents finally were able to help us, but it was a really weird convo. This is esentially what happened:
Us: Hi! Do you have any scissors?
Southern Accent Dudes: Uh, no, but we have a knife. What do you need it for?
Us: To cut something off of Jessica's entrance bracelet. (They were also from CIY)
SAD: I could cut it with a knife? Do you trust me?
Us: Uhhhh....
SAD: Hold on! I'll go get it!
Then they cut the bracelet with a knife an inch from Jess's hand! It was scary. Then every time we saw them in the hall, they asked us if we were having fun. And they asked us if it was ok if they slept in the bathtub. That was weird.
After watching some quality, educational tv (lol), Margo told us that some guys from Harrison ordered pizza from Donato's, so we went around asking who orderrred it. We finally found them, and I honestly think we scared them lol. They said no at first, but then theye agreed to bring us down a slice. We didn't believe them, so we kept our door open so we could listen for when the pizza man came. They eventually came down with a pizza box, but it was filled with Dorito's. Real funny, guys. They thought it was the funniest thing since Tina Fey impersonating Sarah Palin. Hehe. In the end, we probably stayed up until 4-4:30. It was so fun.
The next day was interesting to say the least. I'm still kind of confused. The CIY part was really cool, and we learned more about the book of Jeremiah, and how he was just a kid when God told him to speak His word, and how Jeremiah was scared and didn't want to, but felt a "fire in his bones" when he tried to stop speaking the Truth. It was all very cool. Then there was a lot of drama. Let's just say that me, Jessica, Monty, Caleb, and my brother in a weird way were involved, and I still don't really know what happened. I mean, I did, but I have this tiny voice that's telling me it was all a lie. I don't know who to believe and even if I did, I wouldn't put it on the blog. Lol. It was dramarama, and me and Jess were cracking up half the time, so it was cool.
Today in church we talked about marriage. It was all about comitment and divorce and fidelity and purity and all that. It was weird, because no one in our class will be getting married for a while, so I didn't get the point. It was like teaching toddlers about high school, kind of irrelevant, if you know what I mean. But it was all good. Kevin inadvertantly entertained me as per usual.
Now I'm off to do homework, so good bye, loves!
Happy National Yo Momma Day,
