Faminized

Ok, I do know that "Faminized" is not a real word. But if it was a word it would be a word that seems to describe me.

Yesterday I took part in my youth group's 30 Hour Famine. Well, it started at 12:01 midnight on Friday and ended today at 8:00. It had the strangest effect on me.

When I woke up on Friday I was really hungry. Probably because I hadn't eaten for 12 hours. Then at theatre I continued to be hungry until break and then I was fine. During the time at the church/school I went on and off being hungry and not hungry. It was weird, sometimes I would feel like I'd been eating all day.

At the Famine we also learned about real world hunger. We even played some games. One of them, which we played at night in the woods, we were supposed to be africans who were starving and we were trying to get food from World Vision. In the game, we collected bread. Of course we didn't eat it though! But we had to be careful because there were rebel soldiers trying to kill us. Really, we did have to be careful because if we got the light flashed on us we were dead (or out and had to start again)

The rest of the famine was really fun too, besides getting super hungry. I drank 10 cups of juice yesterday, which is like 8 or 9 times the amount I normally have in a day. I went to bed at 5:00 in the morning which was not a good choice because breakfast was at 8:00.

When I did wake up around 8:00 and came down for breakfast, I didn't feel hungry, even though I hadn't eaten for 30 plus hours and I'd been looking forward to breakfast the whole Famine. I did eat but I didn't really feel any better. I went home, got into bed and then I cried. I don't know why. Then I slept for like 4 hours.

Still, I am not hungry. Wait no, I wouldn't say that exactly. In my stomach I am hungry but the rest of me doesn't feel like eating. I don't know what happened. Maybe I'm just over exhausted. Perhaps I've lost my sanity from not eating or sleeping....


2 more things
- Physical movement becomes exhausting much earlier when you haven't eaten all day.
- Last night I watched The Prestige and it made me want to cry which I don't do that often in movies, especially ones like that. I don't know I just thought it was so sad in some parts. In the end it was ok though. Hmm...maybe lack of food.

Super Crazy EXCITING News!!

April Fools!!

(Sorry, that was the only Fool I could think of!)

This year I was planning a super big april fools on my family (well actually I was last year too but then I forgot what day it was!). I was going to hide a bunch of stuff. Actually the only thing I could think of was the cutlary. But then I decided not to because I'd have to put it all away afterwards and I hate putting cutlary away!

The only trick I did play was on my sister. I told her that we had sold enough tickets for the Thursday night show of Beauty And The Beast! She didn't believe me though :(.

One of the biggest April Fools Day tricks I remember was at theatre five or six years ago. Keanu brought toothpaste filled oreo cookies to share. I didn't have any but a lot of others did and they got super mad at him! In fact, some of them started chasing him around and throwing water at him! Then he gave one to Rochelle! Not a good move. I happened to be inside putting my snack away so I heard her giving Keanu a lecture. She was NOT happy!

So, Amanda you'd better watch out on Friday! (Don't take cookies from any boys or ANYONE for that matter!)

PS Why the pic of the bunny? April fools day makes me think of bunnies for some weird reason!
