Yes, I somehow convinced my parents to let me go!
Its in Green Bay, WI, the closest I've ever been to Canada since my last trip there when I was many years younger. Well, if you don't count living in Northern Washington. =). Psst, iago, blaze, you can pay at the gate~
Uh, hm. Well, I'll be gone from Friday to Sunday this weekend. Yeah, I'll miss you all too! We'll keep in touch via cell phone email!
Damnit, I'm missing trick-or-treating. =((.
Hm, for towelie! Its a three hour ride to Green Bay and Tasha's coming too. Chances are we'll be sitting next to eachother because we always do when we go somwhere in the van (PFFT SO WHAT IF IT WAS ONLY ONE TIME?! Sorry, emo moment). Asuming I don't ask her out on Wednesday, I'll be with her all weekend (under the watchful eye of the leaders, ugh), so I'll probably end up doing it there. Yay!
Uh, in case I forget to say this on friday
PEACE OUT
EDIT -
If anyone needs to contact me (or is just bored), email my cell phone. 6089639993@email.uscc.net.
Just because I live in Canada, doesn't mean that I live anywhere near you Joe. :P iago is like 3.5 hours away from the border too.
iago said he lives right by the border.

Not really.. it's not much closer to me than you are.
I meant the border, not green bay. I was having a bit of a wtf moment. Yeah.
If you get to the Manitoba/Minnesota border, you'll be about an hour away from me.
Yeah, well I'll be at Alice Cooper's Nightmare on halloween, beat that! It's his little 40 story tall haunted house, because he's from my state.
so whats this convention all about? Considering its Newby, and hes willing to skip halloween for it I'm guessing its computer related?

Why would normal people resort to senseless vandalism? The whole idea of egging is retarded.
Egging is really fun. Especially if you do it from the inside out (imagination, not experience, for the record).
ZeroX, I'll only be gone two days. Where have you been anyhow?

Eggs aren't expensive in the first place; that doesn't make it any less rude.

Theres the flyer! Aparently we're staying at AmericInn instead. Hm, k.
EDIT -
Yes, I typed + BBCoded that entire thing by hand. My scanner isn't set up. Ouch!
Yes, Pastor Craig actually put "tooth stuff" on the things to bring list. I told you hes a little crazy.
Notepad the program, or the thing?
Misleading. Not all youth are Christian.
Just got home from church. Totally sweet as usual. It starts at 6:30, and me Andy and Jake walked from school, got there around 4:30. I basically ran the Snack Shack (where we sell food for totally cranked up prices, missionarys love it because we buy them cars!). I cooked a pizza too. Charred, crispy.. eh, its still pizza! It was Pastor Craig's idea to cook it for 12 minutes. xD!
Baraboo School District doesn't have school Thursday or Friday, so me, Marianne, Travis, and Melissa stayed around until like 9 (it got over at 8). Melissa and Marianne are still there I think, but Travis had to go home and go running with his dad or something. Sigh, hes the man. I schooled Pastor Craig in some mad pool~. Or as Yoni would say, billiards!
EDIT -
I'm packing right now. PS: You can't email my phone. Stupid comunist one-way email addresses.
EDIT -
I didn't pack, but instead wrote some assembly. Kekeke!
I'm going to bed. Hm, I think tomorrow I'll probably, who knows. Friday I'll get up, shower, post "AFK" here, and then follow through.
AFK~!
EDIT -
Oh, iago, I figured out what you mean. Yes, we need to write notepad.exe to a floppy disk and take it with us. Keke, no. Spiral notebook, like for a class.
Home sweet mess. I don't want to be home. Dude, that rocked. It just rocked. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I would like, go over everything that happened, but its like way too much. The first night I was like "you guys say this gets better, how is that possible?", and the next morning I was like "Oh, like that." Kekeke.
Current MP3: Jeff Deyo - Saturate
<newby_> did the priests touch you?
<joe> No, I'm Christian, not Catholic. But yes, Pastor Craig hugged me. =)
<torque> where did he hug you
<torque> hahaha
<joe> Like a normal hug.
<newby_> he hugged your teenie weenie
<joe> Like if your mom hugged me.
<newby_> and was like "now joseph, god wants this to happen"
<joe> Er, your mom hug you =p
<newby_> and joe was like "ok"
<newby_> and joe lost his butt virginity
<joe> newby_, it'd be much funnier if it wasn't nearly true
Way to twist our PRIVATE conversations around, while I'm still stoned on that DayQuil. =(
EDIT -
<joe> Dude when we were leaving KI Convention Center on Saturday morning
<joe> It was like
<joe> This train
<joe> and we had major backup
<joe> So everyone piles out of our two vans
<joe> And we do this MASSIVE chinese firedrill around like 10 cars
EDIT -
A Story[/b]. Its about Cassie Chivers, the one who escaped the mall rapist. She was on a bunch of national TV shows, I got to actually shake her hand. It was pretty awesome. (http://pentecostalevangel.ag.org/Articles2005/4768_Happentome.cfm)
While you were out getting raped by your priest I was competing at a drill meet.
I left with this:
(http://www.valhallalegends.com/zorm/medal.jpg)
and several of the other teams I was on walked away with trophies. Let us know when you do something cool like this Joe :p
Zorm, I'm not trying to pick a fight here, but you seem to have a pretty biased opinion of cool. "When you go out and be all militaryish and win a metal."
I mean, if you like that kind of stuff, thats cool. Go right ahead and do your thing. I personally think this was a lot cooler than going to a drill meet (again, no offence).
Thursday night I was like, so scared, because I'd never been to youth convention before and I had no clue what to expect. It wasn't that much different than a typical Wednesday (yes, Wednesday, not Sunday) night, except streched out over three days, adding 2000 people, and intensifing it x100. Plus we had famous people. But yeah.
Fort Myer's Masters Comission was doing dramas, as you know (if you read). They did a drama to the song Rise (they did it at the very beginning and the very end). It was pretty amazing. They started out at a party, doing drugs and stuff. A girl held a gun (obviously unloaded) to her head (commiting suicide, you know). There were these demon clowns pushing everyone around. Then this one guy was all kinda like "dude thats not cool" and the demon clowns all beat him up. Then Jesus hopped in and was like WHAM, GET AWAY FROM MY SON and then like, I give you the power son, you can take them! Then the demon clowns all charged at the dude and they had some awesome fist-fighting and stuff, looked like he actually hurt them (but clearly didn't, they just got back up). That was *really* awesome.
The first night already, I was like Pastor Craig, I'm coming next year. I can't invite you all to come, but I encourage all of you to get involved with a local youth group (for the youth among us). Then theres iago, but even if he was a youth, he still has an iron will that can not be changed, so eh? =p.
EDIT -
Two things I didn't like, though.
1) They had these giant floodlights, and it seems like they were just out to blind you.
2) Tasha was hunting this weekend. She wasn't there.
Actually, pretty much anything is cooler than going to a religious camp.

Ding ding ding.
Round over; Zorm wins.
Nobody can convert me either, I'm just that atheist.
Zorm, wrong. Have you ever been to a Youth Convention? If you haven't, I'd advise you to go before you say that. If you have, I'd advise you to either go to another one because that one really sucked, or go to a counciler. (kidding)
Blaze, if you want to go to hell, thats fine with me. I've pretty much given up on newby too.
'night yall.
You can change your title to Jesus Freak now.

Joe: I've never been to them, but from what I hear from an old friend of mine named Missy, she says it's a bunch of Christian Rock concerts, don't get that confused with metal. :P
Shh. Call of Ktulu = Metal. I tried playing that on the drums at church yesterday when we got back. Haha, FAILURE. =p
Good idea, I'll do that when I get home.
