Alyssa's ramblings...

They mostly come out at night... mostly...

My dream last night...
My friend Jill had a baby (well, another one). It was a little girl, about one week old. I was holding her up to the window so she could see out, and I was talking to her, saying "Look, what's that? What's that?" To my surprise, she said "train station." (There was really a train station outside). I told Jill, and the baby said it again - "train station". Then I asked her to say 'mummy', 'elephant' and some other words, and she did. Then she started talking in complete sentences! Weird.

So, two of our good friends got engaged on Sunday! About time, too. :o) They started going out the day before my fiance and I did, and they're getting married exactly six months after we do. :o) We're beating them! Yay! Not that it's a competition or anything...

We're having a Substation Challenge tonight at church. It's where all of the Youth Home Groups (that meet on Tuesday and Wednesday nights) have competitions, and present skits. Our skit is more of a song, but hey. Every group has to have a theme for their clothing, and ours is 80's punk. I'm wearing a pink shirt with a black singlet top over it, black leggings with a pink skirt over them, blue ankle socks and joggers, lots of eye makeup and lipstick, funky black and white striped earrings, and my hair held up with lots of hairspray and a pink scrunchie. It's going to be so fun! All the girls and I are dancing, while the guys play a song (with guitars, drums and singers). We're SO going to win!!! Hopefully...

Our act includes a Self-Promotion Remix of the song 'Forward Motion' by Relient K. We changed the lyrics... This is how our version goes:

You’ve been banging your head against the wall
‘Coz you didn’t go to Home Group on Wednesday night
Yeah, at Shailer Park

Shailer Park Home Group is the best
Better than all of the rest
And you’ll still remember that when you get old

If you want dodgy doctrine, yes
Don’t come to us, ‘coz we are the very best
Too many turns, you’ve turned out to be wrong
This time you learnt that we were the greatest all along

Where healings occur, and we’re not what we were
You'll see that you should, and you'll see that it’s good
That it’s good

To experience the power of God
To hear His Word, and have some fun
To experience the power of God
To hear His Word, and have some fun

‘Coz our Home Group’s in forward motion
Our Home Group’s in forward motion
Our Home Group’s in forward motion…

Forward motion is harder than it sounds
But if you come to Shailer Park, you’ll never slow down again
It’s harder than it sounds
But if you come to Shailer Park, you’ll never turn around again

Dude, when my mom finds out that my babysitters have their boyfriends over, she mostly gets really mad, mostly.

Will you tell me what they look like? The meteor shower. They mostly come every few years, mostly.

Hooray! Yes. I'm gonna have your and your boyfriend's voices on my Speak and Record bear, and then you'll mostly never babysit me again! Mostly.
