there's nothing like a 3 day weekend, eh? and to me, the Best 3 day weekends are when there's no work/school on monday!
i admit, as someone from a non-military family, i don't often think about origin of memorial day. but i must say that i truly believe i live in the Greatest country in the world and i realize that it is so Great due to the sacrifices of the men and women who fought and continue to fight for our country.
no matter anyone's political views on the current war, these people are real heroes in my eyes.
so wow, i was kinda hoping i wouldn't be sleep deprived this weekend but you what, if it's a result of good fun, i can't complain at all.
all of the fun began sunday night. after church, it was kind of like old times, awww! i've been lamenting the fact that my "youth group" (we're all old people now) doesn't hang out as much since we have full time jobs and college and fun wonderful exciting things like that (yes, there was some sarcasm in that sentence).
so we just stood around outside after church to joke and laugh. since no one really wanted to go home, we ventured to sonic and continued the silliness! then, since no one wanted to go home after that, they asked to come over to my house, where the silliness continued over there. it was kinda geeky silliness also. umm, we had a LAN party, which is basically where computers connect to a network to play games against each other.... yeah, i've never done that before.
but it was fun! granted, it took like 2-3 hours to set it up 5 computers due to technical difficulties and installing programs and such. we played "age of the empires" where you have to build a civilization. i had never played previously and my iroquois indian tribe was attacked and killed off quite early on. but it was great fun! most of us stayed up all night and monday, i got very little rest until 9:45 pm.
but good times, good times indeed! ;)
