The thoughts of an odd duck who sits alone in a night cafe, with a stylo in his right, a journal in his left, a valise under his chaise, a tasse on the table, and plenty of time to pass.

My apt-mates thought that I had died 3 days ago, when in fact, I've been at the Newman retreat in Camp Pendola since Thursday. I guess there are some things I should remember to tell my roomies, hehe. These past few days, I've been having oodles of fun!!!
Pendola is this isolated place in the middle of the forest somewhere east of Sacramento and let me tell you... it was beautiful. There was a chapel on a hill and trees surrounded the entire little camp. We slept in cabin bunks that were kinda cold because the heater wasn't working but it was still nice. Oh man, and there were these 2 St. Bernards there... huuuuge dogs! One of the dogs named Flower was, I swear, the size of Emil's writing desk. Seun tried to wrestle with it haha cuz it was soo powerful and large... but it was really sweet... awww I soo want one now. So anyway, last night, we sang Christian hymns, Disney songs, and Oldies around a campfire for like, 5 hours.... man, I haven't sang like that in ages!
Newman is such a welcoming community... sort of like a 3rd family for me. By the grace of God, I am thankful to have shared the wonderful experience with soo many of my fun-loving Christian brothers and sisters. It wasn't like any other retreat I've been to before... nobody was trying to take too much control and be bossy, I wasn't too sleep-deprived, the atmosphere was quite laid back, and people were really really friendly. I could feel the love and for the most part, I felt a sense of togetherness. There were no cliques... every1 was inclusive... united in Christ. Dear God, thanx for great food (which was really yummy), great friends, and great fun. Amen.
I can't wait until my official Chapel duties begin... oooh look out reversible banners!!! =D

A nine-hour game of Civilization... you know, the 1982 boardgame? Yeah, that's what I got caught up in doing all day yesterday at Aubree's place. Not that I regret it or anything because I did enjoy myself much. It was really more like a game and a pot-luck supper. Good food, no drain0 needed, fun with friends.. good stuff. I guess I just wasn't too much in the mood to play so long a game though. But it's not like I had anything better to do =P. I can't wait until move-in day cuz we are gonna mess with the freshmen soo bad hahaha... Emil & I have our plans.
You know what, I've been feeling a bit annoyed by the world lately... ok, maybe not the world but a lot of people in it. It's weird though you know, that the closer people get to me, the less I seem to trust them, especially with the things I believe and say... and it is not that I am afraid of their repeating what I say. I am afraid, on the contrary, of their taking it too much to themselves. They would judge me too harshly; they are of the cruel impressionable age. Welp, that's the thought of the night as I lay me down to sleep. Gnite monde.
