Firecrackers and Other Random Bits

Ok, so my mom just told me to go play with firecrackers, and when my mom in particular tells me to go play with fireworks, that means I need to get off my lazy rear and do something constructive before she makes me do extra biology homework. So, since I'm not stupid enough to go play with firecrackers, I decided to post since I haven't posted in a long time.

So, let's see, what have I been doing lately? On Friday, me, Anne, Kaitlyn and Mandy went to see The Importance of Being Earnest at the little theater in Denair. It was pretty stinkin' funny. The program was hilarious...so hilarious in fact that I will post the hilarious piece. The 4 of us laughed so hard over it! Here it is.

Sam Aly is only 21 years old; at age 15 he became the youngest person ever employed by the CIA. While with the agency he was involved in over 100 overseas missions and was instrumental in discovering information on North Korea's nuclear program. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, he single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants and while on vacation in Canada, he successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had siezed a small bakery. He woos women with his sensuos and godlike trumbone playing, plays bluegrass cello, participates in full-contact origami, was scouted by the Mets, and is an outlaw in Peru. He has won bullfights in San Juan, clif-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. The rightful hier to the Caesar of Rome, and a multi-millionaire by the time he was 16, his most recent major project involves converting the Eiffel Tower into a giant pigeon coop. He leaves 2 days after "Earnest" on a 26 day tour of impoverished nations where he is considered a small deity due to his overwhelming charity. He is much in demand on Broadway and in Hollywood, although he is very selective of his roles. He most recently starred in "Watching Paint Dry with Sam" which grossed $55 million in box offices in Hong Kong and won Chinese Emmys for best male star and best set decoration. He got his start at the Gaslight and is proud to be back, although forced to commute weekly from his seaside palace on Waikiki beach which was a gift from the queen of Spain.

Haha, yeah I know it's incredibly stupid, but it was so funny! We first noticed it because it was sooo long that they typed his section of the program in an itty bitty font and it was still longer than anyone else's! Ooh, the guy that wrote that played Algernon, and if you've read the book, and just read the above paragraph, you can imagine he did a pretty good job.

"I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever now-a-days. You can't go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left."

Jack Worthing/Ernest Moncrieff, The Importance of Being Earnest

Yeah, so I've already posted more than I was originally intending on that subject...On Saturday I went to the Women's Conference. It was incredible!!! Post this link into your browser to get the audio/video and podcasts. I would totally recommend listening to them, even if you went. http://ccmodesto.com/ministries/womensministry/womens_conf_08.php
