Long Time Coming

Okay, so this has been one full weekend. On Friday, Danny and I ran the youth group's guys lock-in, wherein we watched all three Lord of the Rings movies back to back...to back. That amounts to about 12 hours of movies. We started at 5:45 on Friday afternoon, and ended at about 6 in the morning on Saturday. I managed to stay up for most of that, except for about two hours in the middle of the second movie, when I drifted off. After that, though, I got my second wind and soldiered through until morning.

Once all the kids left, I went home and slept for about two hours before waking up again and heading over to Dave, Trev, and Jeff's place for some serious d20 action. As I intimated previously, we have been undertaking an NID campaign, and Saturday was our first day. Immediately, I realized that it was going to be a party full of smart-asses, i.e. Dave, Jeff, Trev, Ben, and Tom. Dave plays the Euro-trash xenophile archaeologist, Jeff is the bitchy hacker/engineer, Trev is the non-descript infiltrator, Ben is the rash and impetuous heavy-weapons guy, and Tom is the drunk and inebriated heavy-weapons guy. It went well, but we had to cut it short.

At 8 in the evening, Renee, Mary, and Brandon had their senior project, so I went to see that. It went well. They did a really good job, and it was most humorous. I laughed, anyway. Afterwards, I went home and crashed and slept.

Sunday morning rolled around, so that meant it was time to lead Atheist's Bible Study. It went okay. I then had to read scripture in church and give communion. It felt very weird for me, as only three years ago, I would have never been seen in church to begin with, much less as the scripture leader and communion guy. It was strange to think that to someone who had known me then, it would have looked like Satan giving the liturgy. I guess it just goes to show you that things can and do change.

Sunday evening was BESM with Trev, Ryan, and Cassie. We've been playing a campaign based off of the anime Blue Gender, and it went quite well. We had an awsome boss fight going, and it was quite cool. The end result was three more character points to spend next time. After all was said and done, I went over to Safeway and got some foodage for my little sister, who is currently ill. Damned flu. Good thing I've already had it.
