| Well, here I am, 10:48 PM on a Saturday night. I just got back from the Christmas party mentioned in the title, and now I feel like doing nothing but sitting and not moving for a while--which is exactly what I'm doing.
The Christmas party was fun. We decorated the huge Christmas tree in the highschool youthroom, and we each got to write our name on one of those colored class balls with colored glue stuff. (I went for green on a blue ball). While I had it hanging off my finger, waiting for the glue to dry, I just had to make the joke of "I've got ball." heheheh...
Then we had a mall hunt thing, where a few of the youth leaders kind of dressed up in disguises and wandered around the mall. Then we, in groups, had to go through and try and find as many of them as we could in an hour. My team got last place, lol. And after an hour of fast, constant walking in steel-toed boots, my feet were rather tired.
Next came dinner and dessert. Dinner was lasagna, with various side dishes that people brought, and desert items were also brought by the people attending. Only one other person had a piece of the cake I made. I think I'm going to have to poison it next time. ~_^
After everyone ate, there was a gift exhange thing with the small gifts everyone brought. It was the kind where you go up and pick something, unwrap it, and then hold onto it. And then someone else can either pick up another wrapped gift, or go and steal the one you're holding. Fairly amusing, but minorly annoying when someone stole the PlayStation game Parasite Eve from me. I'll just have to borrow it, though, if I want to play it. The guy that ended up with it doesn't actually have a PlayStation, he's just going to borrow one from a friend to play the game, so it shouldn't be too hard to snag it from him one of these days.
What I did end up with was a little tiny FM radio that fits in your pocket, which I'm using right now--and indeed, it's in my pocket, heh. Now I just need a smaller pair of headphones that aren't really bulky so I can actually take it places. My mom has asked for ideas for things to put in my stalking for Christmas, so I told her I'd like one of those little tiny pairs of headphones that fit down in your ears.
After the gift exchange, we had some time for worship and prayer and whatnot before people left at 10:00 PM. (This thing went from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM, by the way). After it was officially over, one of my friends had some fun with the silly string that he got in the exchange. (which was actually what I brought--it had been sitting in my closet for years, lol). I couldn't get anyone to eat any of it, though. Too bad. ^_^;
And that brings us back up to the present time, which is now, according to my PC clock, 11:11 PM Pacific Time. Overall, a fun day. And I suppose I shouldn't complain that barely anyone ate my cake. That just means there's more left to eat myself, heh. And I think I'm going to give my friend the second bottle of silly string in my closet. Seems like he'll make good use of it. But that'll be another story for another day. ^_^ | |
