"it's inflatable. you can't get hurt."

last night was probably one of the best nights of my whole life. or at least the past year. i dont think i stopped laughing hysterically for more than 5 minutes. and it felt GOOOD!

so i went to church for an unofficial, go-down-the-huge-inflatable-slide-the-church-rented-for-vbs hang time. and, as i suspected, when i arrived it was flowing with nice, wet water. mo had set up a hose at the top. meaning the huge slide was now a huge WATERslide. i was apprehensive at first. it was a cool evening last night. and the slide was very wet. but with some convincing (ben physically carrying me, kicking and screaming) i went down. it was INCREDIBLE! it was waaay faster than it was when it was dry. the best was the fact that you didnt just stop at the bottom, you slammed really hard into the inflatable wall. that is... unless you were David, Drew, or Drew's dad. They all decided they'd give the stopping a miss and just go over the wall. but anyway, yeah. it was hysterically funny. and i slammed into that wall so many times in so many painful ways... i actually managed to get water up my nose several times. and i nearly went over once... and somehow landed in this bizarre sprawled out position...

i woke up this morning feeling like someone had been hitting me with a baseball bat all night.

one of the more humorous events of the evening was when ben and jerron disappeared into the church for about ten minutes, and emerged with stupid grins on their faces.... and soap on their bums. no lie, kids. they used an entire bottle of soap. ben actually got his whole back, while jerron just did the bum. it was totally hilarious.... ben was apologizing to me in advance for getting himself killed. and i had the PLEASURE of going down after them.... it was all soapy.... and very fast. and mo says to me "you dont have any soap on you do you?" and im like, "pshh! seriously, would i be in that church with those guys soaping my bum???" please.

anyway, by the end of the night i was drenched to the bone and had totally forgotten that i had spent much of the past few days.... being not quite myself. but that's another post. and one that i probably won't make.

music: sting, "fields of gold"

ive never made promises lightly
and there have been some that i've broken
but i swear in the the days still left
we'll walk in fields of gold
