// Food? What Food?
I have completed the 30 hour famine, and it was very exciting! I honestly would have liked to go on a bit longer! I realized that if you're doing the famine, stay around fun friends, because you completly forget that you're hungry. All afternoon I was hungry, until I got to youth, and I completly forgot about it. Speakin' of which, youth was good fun!
I got to youth, and started beating the kids, and then the kids started to beat me, to a point where it really started to hurt! I honestly wasn't too sure how to fight them, since I didn't want to hurt them. Anyhoo, we got to gather and give and the beats stopped. Gather and Give was alright, and we stayed until about 9:15. It's amazing to see that the youth love to go to things like that...well, I wouldn't say 'love' but are willing to come. Anyhoo, Jade had to leave early, which was allright.
Once back at the church we played video games/watched a movie. The guys mostly played video games, and we had a "Super Smash Bros" Tornament. It was pretty awesome, although I was very cocky, and I ended up losing a bunch of rounds! OH! Then we played Goldeneye, and NOBODY could beat me. So we did 3 vs 1, everybody against me, and David and Eric were on a team with Alex, and it was so incredibly funny! Eric and David could not shoot anything, and when they did, they shot each other! I could not stop laughing! The best part was David and Eric were in the same room, and I was coming and David picked up a gun, and yells "Eric, get out of the way!" and immidiatly after he shoots Eric and kills him, and I come in and kill David! Wow, it was just hilarious!
After that we played a game called Alien, which for you RPC'ers out there, its much like Gorgon. The main difference is that there are two people going around tagging people, and only one 'weapon' which is actually a person. The person which is designated 'the weapon' hides, and all the people have to find the weapon. Once you find the weapon, you have to hold onto the weapons hand and tag the alien, then its game over! I was the weapon once, and I thought I had a pretty good hiding spot, but it took 11 minutes for them to find me.
Then we watched Shrek 2, and after that, at about 3am, most of the people decided to go to sleep. I wanted to watch Spiderman with the remaing people who were awake, but I fell asleep.
The youth woke up at 9!!! Way to early! Anyhoo, they had started watching Gladiator and I remember watching Gladiator with Dylan back on Galiano a few months back, but I fell asleep like 30 minutes into the movie. Luckily, I woke up today 30 minutes into the movie! So I got to finish it! After watching Gladiator, we played hockey! That was too much sweat for not having properly woken up. So it was about 12:30 when we ended hockey and we just did whatever.
Pizza arrived at 2 and we finally got to eat! The 30 hour famine was complete! It was Aaron's last youth event, and Christina's last even as well, and it was a little sad to say goodbye, as they'll be moving far away for a little while. Aaron is moving to Ontario to work at GM so he won't be back until after summer. Christina is from England and she's getting married, so she'll be back sooner then Aaron. Anyhoo, I wish them the best of luck.
Wow, I can't even remember being hungry! I felt incredible that I wasn't starving or anything, and I think one day I want to actually fast for like 5 days. Matt was telling me how he did that, and on the third day, he just found some kind of energy, and he said it was amazing. It felt horrable when it actually came time to eating, because I know then after 30 hours of not eating in like Africa, they don't get pizza. So after this experiance, I want to do two things. First, I was to fast for 5 days and raise money. Secondly, I want to actually go to Africa, and help feed some kids, or families. This probably won't happen for a while since it's going to cost a lot of money, but I'm hoping I can do that. I really want to just see first hand what it is like.
Well look at that, 3 post in 3 days, i'm on a roll.
