Mafia to the Extreme!

I figure that this little game deserves it's own post on my blog because it has been in my life a lot lately. On Friday I got invited to play extreme mafia, I didn't really know what that was but I was excited. I have always enjoyed the game of mafia but this sounded even more intense. We drove out to this house that was somewhat older and began the journey. We started out meeting some really cool new people. As they started explaining the game to us I realized that it was a lot like murder in the dark, which I had played just last weekend and quite frankly it really scares me, I don't really like the dark. All of the windows were covered and we were given a tour of the house. You start out drawing cards with one or two people being the murders. Then all of the lights go off and the murder has to wait at least 5 seconds and then they can start killing. They then use their hand to slit your throat (I know kind of graphic). You were then officially dead and had to just sit there. If you manage to stay alive you have to go around finding people and asking them if they are dead or not. If you find a dead person you get to a light switch as fast as possible and yell dead body but you can be killed in the process. Then if the lights go on everyone comes together for a town meeting and votes another person off, just like real mafia. We played this for like 2 hours!!! It was a blast, and I wasn't as scared because there were so many people that there was almost always at least someone else in the room, oh and to top it all off they had somewhat scary music playing during the whole game. Then I went to a Sunday dessert night and while there we played regular old mafia which was also fun but not quite as exciting. All in all I probably died like 8 times this weekend :) It was a FANTASTIC weekend in Logan!

Drip Drip Drop

Well I decided that I would write about the weather, kind of lame but exciting to me. I love the rain and so when I woke up this morning and saw the clouded over day it made me very happy. The only down thing about it was that I couldn't just stay home in my pajamas watch a good movie, take a nap, and then read a good book instead I had to hike the hill at 7:30 a.m. I really think they should require that you must stay home on rainy days. Then to make it even better the sun came out in the afternoon and it was just beautiful. Nature is awesome and I am amazed how much God loves us to display such beauty. As far as the lightening picture goes it doesn't really relate other than the fact that I like lightening and felt that my blog needed a picture and since I am having a hard time adding one of my own, because they are all at home, I decided this was pretty cool. I found it using cooliris which you should all download and try, it is way sweet! As far as school goes it is doing just that, going. I have reached the lesson plan phase in my life it feels like I have some sort of lesson plan due in every class which is to be expected I suppose.

Everyday Heros

Cheesy I know, but so true! Well I have wanted to blog about something today but just haven't been able to think of anything. I have spent way too much time checking the blog thinking of something to post about and then of course it hit me at what better time than---midnight! Oh the life of a college student....anyway so then I started to write about this topic and the computer killed three times, I really must not be meant to write, oh well here it goes. I was able to spend some great bonding time with a friend today and we ended up talking about some trials I have gone through and she just listened and then didn't pity me or act differently towards me, that sounds weird but really it meant so much. When people listen, care, and just accept you as yourself with no stipulations and they let the friendship just run how it should it makes such a difference. I don't know maybe it is late and that doesn't make sense but I just felt like I couldn't go without saying something. There are so many awesome people in this world and I feel that my bucket is overflowing with them, honestly. It is also always incredible to me to how people come into my life that just fit perfectly like that they were always supposed to be there and that I knew them before. Crazy cool if you ask me. So this is my shoutout to all of those everyday heros, those people that keep me sane and love me for who I am no matter what! THANK YOU!

Oops!

To all of my Instructional Technology friends I switched my blog address for this class so if you would please remove this one from your google reader that would be awesome! To do this just go to where everyone's blogs are listed and there is a place at the bottom that says manage subscriptions, click on that and it should take you to a yellow list where you can click on this blog, http://whit-anne.blogspot.com and delete it by clicking on the garbage can. Then go back to google reader and add this new address http://whitsinst4010.blogspot.com. Sorry about the hassle but I really appreciate it!
