So, recently, within the past two and a half weeks, I've started working at Triangle Printing, where my father and cousin-in-law, Jeremy, work. It's been okay so far. Nothing to get excited about, by far, but nothing too terribly hard or frustrating. It's wierd, though...these past three or so weeks I believe have been the most tiring weeks of my life, although it's not hard work or anything like that. And when working other times, I've had to get up earlier and was still better than I have been here. It makes me think that it might be a spiritual thing, because almost everyone in that building is unhappy and has very, very dirty mouths.

Anyhow, on other news, Shane, Luke and Wayne, Lillie, and I all went to the Rennaisance faire. It was so awesome! We all acted like a load of dorks and geeks and made a quest...from WoW. Wayne made a yellow exclamation point above his head by taking a coat hanger and bending it around, then cutting out construction paper to make a exclamation point and taped it to the hanger. It was hilariously awesome. Then Luke and I were both pirates, and Shane was a Ninja. Whoever saw Wayne's exclamation point and knew that he was trying to be a questgiver from Wow came up to him, like, "You're a questgiver from WoW! That's awesome! You got a quest for us?" "Yeah," Wayne responds. "NO WAYYYY!" So, we made a story and got some little cheap plastic swords from the dollar store to go with it. The story was that there is an undefeatable ninja that weilds the sword of one thousand truths. You must get this sword! How whoever who was doing the quest got the sword was they had to find the pirate with a flower in his sash (Luke), then once they found him, he would give them gold and tell them to find a dreaded pirate with a blue and red sword...dreaded meaning that he has dreadlocks (me). That pirate would teach them to throw shirukens with their mouths, if they gave me the gold. Once they found me, I went on with about how this ninja was undefeatable, but he could be weaked if you would throw shurikens (ninja stars and such) with your mouth, but how to throw them is a secret. Once they gave me the gold, I'd tell them how to throw these shirukens, which was that you would put your hands in front of your mouth, like you were holding a megaphone. Then you would make your mouth into the shape of an "O" (which makes no sense, as you'll see in a second with the noise you make). By this point, I'm getting people to do it with me, which I was demonstrating. Then you would make the noise...which was, for you Monty Python die hards like myself, "NI!" So then I told them that they had to find this ninja, who was dressed all in black with a red scarf covering his face going all the way to the ground, sneak up on him and throw the verbal shiruken. It would weaken him and he would give them the Sword of One Thousand Truths. We quickly ran out of swords, when we started doing the cursed pirate gold quest instead, which was pretty much the same thing, except no swords. It was so stinking awesome! We had about forty-five to fifty people do it! And several go, "Oh, I've gotta get a picture! This is SO going on MySpace!" It was hilariously awesome! I think all that I actually bought there was food and drink... Anyway. I had loads of fun doing the quest. It was hilarious.

Well, it is Shavuot. Tomorrow, we're going to the park with fellowship. It's going to be cool.

Anyway, I should be going to bed fairly soon. Love to all!
