That sucks

You may be asking your self "What sucks?" Well I will tell you my friend! It's the U.S. World Cup soccer team...they lost. They played a game that looked like they didn't really care if the won or lost. Granted, the lost to the #2 team in the world...it was still a loss...which means we got no points. Italy won there game...which means we REALLY have to beat them on Saturday to have a chance of going on...Brian T. just bought a scarf. It hasn't came in yet. It would be a shame if he didn't get to use it very much. Sigh.

So this weekend, I made my way over to Mooresville for a party. That's in the middle of nowhere. So let's recap:

Things I have done in the past month:

Gone to Mooresville for a campfire
Gone to a fish fry
participated in game night (that was on the North Side though)
gone to a cookout on the south side...

AND last but not least!!!!!

I made it to the Our Lady of Greenwood festival. I didn't even know it was still going on. It was Sunday night after the Young Adult Mass. I was sad because i didn't have my camera to take pictures of mullets. I did only see one mullet though. The crowd was pretty low, since it was closing down. There were three of us, and between the three of us, we had $1.51. That was not enough to play some fishing game where you get a prize every time. I asked the lady if we could play for $1.51...she said we could, and now I am the proud owner of a pink dolphin. :). Then, Fr. Meyer (sp?) gave us $5 to buy food. It was the hardest $5 to spend. We couldn't even give it away. We tried to buy corn. They told us it was free. We still tried to give them money and they gave it back to us. We ended up getting one elephant ear, 3 ears of corn, and 3 drinks for $5. That's pretty good I guess.

I was sad that I couldn't go with Jessie. Apparently, she won $77 playing bingo.

OH! So after Young Adult Mass, there is always a dinner. The dinner generally takes place downstairs in the basement of the church. This Sunday, it had to be upstairs. You want to know why? There were blackjack tables going on down in the basement. I went down there to grab something from the kitchen...I got to witness it. It was like some sort of underground casino thing...like maybe you needed a password to get in the door. That wasn't the case, but it made me chuckle. I love being Catholic. I mean, you can see the gambling in the basement of the church, and the beer outside the church. They even had Texas Hold 'Em going. Sweet.

So yeah, I need to do some city things soon.

It's all good though. It's been fun.

Man! I almost went back over there Sunday cause I was really craving an elephant ear. If I'd known they were practically giving it away I would have been all over that. Oh well. Like I need anymore of that crap. I saw the underground secret gambling room too! It made me laugh! It felt like it was illegal and they were hiding it down there so no one knew. haha....You went to a campfire? I love campfires. Yes, we have been doing some interesting things lately....but random is fun. I think a bunch of us are going to One Liners Friday. Did Lynsey tell you?
