minkhollowThe retreat-thing was bloody WONDERFUL. Not much I can say about it without spoiling things for Princess Grace, Twig, and any of the rest of you people, but...
I kept thinking of songs that'd be great for the speeches. It got so annoying because I'd have two and then think of a third. Since I've got so many of the blessed things I think I'm just going to burn a CD and give it to the teacher in charge. Who knows, maybe someone'll use one.
Andy came up with a brilliant theory comparing the retreat to a vending machine. Not going to relate the whole thing because (a) it may not mean as much to people who haven't been, and (b) it's just so much better when he tells it.
Story: Last night at dinner the nuns (we were staying in a convent; the place in Rain Man, by the way) made stewed apples as part of the meal. Other people said they were good, and "these apples are delicious" popped into my head. They were indeed good and I commented that I'd just have to play the song later. The girl who was interested in hearing it never did make it in, but someone else heard it and BAM! instant connection. He apparently stole his brother's copy of Rock Spectacle. XD To quote my maths teacher from the past two years, you never know.
Anyway. Should prolly go to bed now, but I've just got to email Kroc about... wossname. I'll continue my lovely (mwaha!) RPG thread and tell y'all about another... wossname tomorrow. (Spoiler-free wossname, that is.) There's no way I can catch the entire friendslist tonight but I'll do what I can.
