I'm a youth group leader (as i may have mentioned previously!) for my church's yth grp every friday nite. As a resulr, every friday nite i hang out with a bunch of young teens and we do some real cool stuff (such as masquerade balls, Dark light- which is shooting ppl with laser guns, etc.). u'd think by now i'd know better and act my age wldn't u?!? Well, my motto has always been growing old is compulsory, growing up, however, is purely optional!
There is, howver, a cost to this honourable work and motto.... whilst helping set up for a game that requires kids and leaders alike to run around bushland in the dark (the aim being for the kids to 'escape' from us nasty leaders), i went to jump over a chain set up blocking a path and didn't quite clear it (when i was running pretty fast mind) and found myself hurtling head 1st into concrete. to save my head i used my arms...as a result, i'm typing one armed and two fingered... i've buckled a bone in my wrist and bruised the bones in my arm- d'oh!!
the sad thing is, this was while setting up, so i didn't even get to be a nasty leader... serves me right i guess. As i'm also a music teacher, this ain't good, 'cos clapping, body percussion and playing instruments are tools of my trade (not to mention i'm also on teaching prac right at this moment...gonna make things interesting!!)
oh well, it's givng me reason to set myself up for some spoiling!!
Mood - sore!!!!
Music - A Dave Brubeck album- cool music
