first day teaching1 catechism. it was pretty scary at first. actually, scratch that. it wasn’t just scary. it’s more than that. it’s like, gosh. imagine 14x Astleys. thank God it turned out all right.
i’m not alone facilitating the class so that’s one concern out the window. i have Mary, Estella2 as well as Lizzi to help out so it’s not that daunting actually. but still. first day. whew. i got out alive. yay!
just did some admin stuff today and a few ice breakers. didn’t turn out as well as it should but considering it turned out okay in the end, i’m not complaining. for people wanting to do ice breakers, here’s one we did this afternoon.
The Toilet Paper Game
Props needed:
- 1 roll of toilet paper
The game:
- gather everyone into a circle
- without telling them what the toilet paper is for, ask them how many squares of toilet paper they want (min 3, max 10)
- distribute the squares of toilet paper
- after everyone has gotten all their squares of toilet paper, get them to share as many things about themselves according to the number of squares of toilet paper they have

jammed with my friends earlier at Cass’ place. it was refreshing! haven’t been able to jam like this in a while. can’t wait for next week to jam yet again. songs jammed earlier: I’m Yours, Zombie, Lucky.
hope to master a song soon to play as a group.
i’m looking forward to a lot of new things this year. God willing, the things that He has shown me will come to pass.
- stay alive
- keep my sense of humour
- get a real job
- make real money
i started 2009 with a long list of resolutions. some written, some unwritten. couldn’t keep any of them. this year? just this 4 will do. shouldn’t be that hard.
just recalled something that Jean told me:
“when you have reached the very very bottom, there is no where else to go but up.”
so there you have it. i don’t know if i am at the very bottom now or if there is still a ways to go before i hit bottom. if i haven’t, God help me for that means things will still get worse. if this is the very bottom, yay me! i will be able to start climbing up soon.
hoegarden, red horse, colt 45, carlsberg, heineken, absinthe, tequila gold.
my poisons of choice for this new year.
i really am an alcoholic. a functioning alcoholic. and i think i will die of liver failure. but until that happens, cheers!
