| (Wow it's been a long time since I've updated.)
It's my 15th birthday!!!! Our family celebrated my birthday a couple of days early because the baby could be born any day now and my mom didn't want to miss the celebration. My dad took Joe, Nate and me to a clay pigeon shooting range for my birthday and I really enjoyed that. Then when we came home my mom had a delicious chocolate cake ready for us. 
When our family when to the debate open for Joe, I got to watch a bunch of rounds and I really enjoyed it. So I'm planning to hopefully do debate next year, but I'm not sure what my school workload is gonna be like.
How!!!

| I've been reading the Screwtape Letters recently and I've found them quite interesting. I never would have thought of a demon trying to make a person think about how hungry they are so they would forget about reading the bible or praying, or using war to advance its grip on the persons life by placing doubt in their hearts and getting them to blame God for the bad things that have happened to them to pull them further and further from Christ. Because Lewis portrays the demons as comical you laugh when you read it but really get the message that we have to gaurd our hearts against Satan and his demons. | | |
| Well I actually found time to post after like a week. I've been sooo
busy with algebra and biology, but I'm finally prepared to take test on
fungi and the one on quadratic equations.
Drama practice starts
tomorrow, and I'm really excited about that. We're doing Taming of the
Shrew this year, and that should be a fun play. I should probably go
read that one since I've only seen it acted out, and have never read
it. Its been a while since I've read any Shakespeare, I think the last
play I read was Much Ado About Nothing. Well I'm off to labor on school
for another hour or so. 
How! | | |
| Here are some jokes that (hopefully) will make you laugh.
1. An irishman comes into the same bar at seven o'clock and orders three drinks and drinks them down every day. He told the bartender he always bought three drinks because his one brother lived in america and his other brother lived in russia and they always each bought three beers at seven o'clock and drank them so it was like they were together again. One day the irishman walks into the bar at seven o'clock and only buys two drinks. The bartender thought that one of his brother had died so he asked him if he could do anything for him, the irishman replied,"Niether of my brothers died, I just gave up drinking." 
2. A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.
"Why of course," comes the reply.
The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.
The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."
"Of Course," replies the second man.
Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?"
"Dublin," comes the reply.
"I can't believe it," says the first man.
"I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."
"Of course," replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks:
"What school did you go to?"
"Saint Mary's," replies the second man.
"I graduated in '62."
"This is unbelievable!" the first man says.
"I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"
About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar.
"What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.
"Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."
3. A Texan rancher comes to Ireland and meets a Kerry farmer.
The Texan says : "Takes me a whole day to drive from one side of my ranch to the other."
The Kerry farmer says: "Ah sure, I know, sir. We have tractors like that over here too."
4. Two opposing county chairman were sharing a rare moment together. The Democratic chairman said, "I never pass up a chance to promote the party. For example, whenever I take a cab, I give the driver a sizable tip and say, 'Vote Democratic.'"
His opponent said, "I have a better scheme, and it
doesn't cost me a nickel. I don't give any tip at all. And when I leave, I also say, 'Vote Democratic.'"
5. True story
This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in
October 1995.
Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collison
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collison
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET.
WE ARE ACCOMPANIED By THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE
DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
THIS SHIP.
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
Now if none of those made you laugh than.......too bad (you all had better have laughed)
