okay ... so you may not understand this post ... but blah. haha SOOOO ... i was playing bridge online. =P anyway ... i open 1 NT 'cuz i have 15pts, 3 aces, balanced. Our opps bid something, but that's not important. My partner responds 2NT ... I found that interesting 'cuz I took that to mean that he had good cards and a balanced hand too since he didn't bid his long suit. Anyway, instead of responding 3NT, i jumped to 4NT, asking for aces. My p responds 5c, which I took to mean he had 1 ace (which was good seeing as I had 3) ... so i ask for kings, bidding 5NT. He responds with 6D ... we didn't have enough kings so we settle on 6NT, a minor slam. We immediately get doubled ... which is when i realized that a 5C response to a 4NT bid means 0 or 4 aces ... meaning my partner had 0 aces. i left the bridge table in shame. =[ haha. on fire -bj

i just gave blood! =] so yeah, i gave blood ... alex and vicky were going so i decided to go too ... i was kinda nervous since it was my first time. i was scared that my veins wouldn't be big enough ... but alex looked at my arms and said i'd be fine ... filled out some forms ... yadda yadda yadda. then they did a blood test / blood pressure test ... the poked my finger to get some blood ... and the lady kept squeezing my finger, milking it for more and more blood. i was like, "sheesh, don't you have enough already? you're taking all my blood!" haha ... then i realized that they'd be taking a lot more out of me later. =P then alex, vicky, and i moved to the room where they draw blood ... you could watch other people giving blood. vicky and i had to cover our eyes ... it was weird seeing other people getting poked and having blood sucked out of them. so vicky went first, then alex, and i was last. i had this super nice lady. she said she saw me cover my eyes when other people were being poked, so she said she'd cover up the equipment so i wouldn't see the blood being drawn out of my body. she said it could be a little disconcerting to see that my first time. hahaha. so i give her my right arm and she cleans it. (btw, that was the worst part for me. haha ... it tickled so badly! i kept squirming and laughing. i guess i'm really ticklish on my arms. =P) then she inserts the needle in ... and then fidgets a little. the next thing i know, she's putting pressure on my arm and is wrapping it up with a bandage. "i'm so sorry! the needle came out!" hahaha. i was like "ummm, okay." she kept asking if i was okay. i was fine. =P then she asked if i wanted to still go through with it ... i said sure ... then she had me switch chairs. she had to switch arms since my right arm was all bandaged up. i kept thinking "stupid, alex. he said my veins were big enough." haha. the nurse said that my veins were fine, though. it's just that the veins on my right arm were at a weird angle ... so she couldn't hold my arm tightly enough ... and the needle fell out for some reason. haha. so anyway ... i switch arms ... she cleans it up (again, more of me squirming. =P) and then stabs me ... it wasn't too bad ... had to roll this ball in my hand and squeeze it to help the blood flow ... every two minutes or so the nurse would ask if i'm doing okay and apologize for poking me twice. =P after i was done, i felt a little light-headed ... but then we got snacks. haha. yayyy ... cookies and juice for giving blood. =]]] and a sticker. =P walking home, i just felt really weak. i didn't realize that you'd be so drained from having blood taken out of you. i went home, drank fluids, and rested ... i had a headache for most of the night, too ... but this morning i woke up feeling fine. it was kind of a fun experience. i'd do it again. heh. plus they always need more blood. =] accidentally in love -bj

hola. =] what have i been up to? erm ... nothing much. =] but things are about to get really busy really quickly. =/ school's gonna be starting soon ... gonna start having aacf stuff to do ... have a large group / core / staff / small group meeting at my house this sunday ... leadership retreat 16th - 18th ... gonna start having regular servant team meetings and meetings with core ... gotta start meeting with my small group leaders ... then small group leader training, discipleship training, meeting with connie, my co-coordinator ... not to mention classes. =P so this leadership stuff is interesting ... so many highs and lows. i remember when they asked me if i'd join the servant team last year, i was so nervous. i was worried that there wouldn't be enough small group leaders, worried about the curriculum ... but then God just provided an abundance of small group leaders ... and we began to have ideas of what to study in small groups ... so i knew that God would take care of me during the school year ... but then some small group leaders were having second thoughts about leading ... and the large group team thought small groups should study similar topics as large group ... and things were thrown into a topsy-turvy. and that's kinda where things are right now ... a state of unknown, a state of uncertainty ... but just as God provided so abundantly a few months ago, i know He's in control and i'm not very worried about next year. it will definitely be a year of challenges, but it'll be awesome. i hope to grown in my faith a lot. on the way down -bj
