Because I haven't blogged in a while

Some of us went to an Invisible Children GO screening last week. This documentary depicted the trips of three high school students and their relationships with young men and women of Uganda. It was... difficult to watch... not because of the poverty, but because these kids were struggling to understand the world and their place in it. Both the American and Ugandan students battled with self-worth and purpose, both feeling alone and forgotten and wondering if they were worth anyone's love. And it was the unique friendships that formed that brought the beginning of healing and hope in each other. We really need one another. Our impact on/of the people around us can be huge... Hugs, not drugs people.

We met another neighbor last weekend after they invited us over to a little bbq they were having with some friends. It ended up that we were able to help them fix a TV problem and watched some football together afterwards. It was fun.

The Strong Q-Cumbers are 2-1 after a 7-6 win on Saturday and Penn State is 4-0!. Hooray. T-Shirts will be on sale soon. Lindsey and Kelley found out we could put our Facebook's in other languages including Pirate English (try it out). School is for suckers - except if you're younger than 18, stay in school! Katrina is awesome, she is getting me some orange juice... see LOVE! It's great (Katrina is just plain sick - in the good hood way - even if she didn't get me orange juice. I'm really happy she's my friend - tear :). Mary is no longer part of the rising unemployment rate! She got a j-o-b with Caribou, the coffee shop, creating a rivalry with Brittney, who works at Starbucks. The horror. Pete made up new lyrics to the song that CU plays at games, you know the "f' 'em up, f' 'em up, go CU" song. It's "Fudgaba, fudgaba, go CU". We tried to get other students to sing it, but... they were too mature. Kelley and Mel will attempt to become sexlingual (hehe, sex). Wait I just realized that could be read as if we were trying to learn sex-talk or something... we're not, we're going to begin learning a total of six languages which happens to be hilariously called sexlingual (hehehe, sex). Our backyard is uhh... really comin along... sorta. Motivation is at an all-time low. Poor backyard. Oh yeah, and Pete's noggin has a surprise for you.

What do you think of the new look?
