Never Use Tape For A Mummy Costume

Friday was my birthday, and also the day of the Fall Ball at the Wesly Foundation. I decided to dress up as a mummy...since supplies for that costume are very cheap. I bought 40 yards of Ace athletic tape for the job, since it was white and just looked good. I shaved my under arms and belly in preparation for it too. I forgot my arms though. Mark wrapped me up....and did too good of a job at it...being one of those guys who wraps up injured sports players on the field, he wrapped me up tight. It was actually too tight and I had him cut a few of the strands in order to keep my limbs alive...and just b/c I like breathing too. He had to leave before 7 though so I stayed in my room and kept ripping the tape, trying to make it as comfortable as possible. At last I got to a point where it actually felt bearable so i went to the Wesly and had a good time. Everyone said my costume was really good, though it still hurt a lot under my arms. So, after a while i decided it was time to get it off...and since I knew i couldnt do it alone, I asked someone to help while it was available to me. Mark, who's a preacher for the church my outreach is going to, and I went to the chapel and proceeded to unwrap me. The pain was nearly unbearable....at first we did little sections at a time, ripping them off fast and then waiting a few seconds then doing it again....but that just prolonged the pain....so at last I told him to just pull.....not to stop, just to keep pulling. So, my arms came off in one long strip, the pain actually feeling less when made in such a big batch. Then the torso went and the stips under my arms were the absolute worst...the skin being so tender under there to begin with. After it all came off, I was very red and had stripes of tape residue on me. There's actually a little bit still there but it's comming off everyday. So, if you ever decide to be a mummy for Halloween, dont use any sort of tape...or if you do, dont wrap yourself up tight.......I actually like the IDEA of being a mummy....but cloth will definetly be in use the next time around.

Friday night I told Candace that I had a crush on her and she rejected me. I was climbing the steps of my dorm and Andy was comming out. He asked me what I was doing and I said nothing...still feeling a bit hurt by Candace. He said did i want to some with him to someone's house and I accepted the offer. So, we went to Seth's house and a few more people came. We decided to go to the school's playground that was only a block away and we played there for a while....it was freezing though being 1 at night. Then we all went back and then Andy and I came back and that was that. Last night was a football game here on campus and I really wasnt going to go to it....but I was writing and suddenly wanted to see what Andy was doing. I went to his room and hung out with him for a while. Then, since he was going to the game, I came along too. It was actually an exciting game, truth me told, and the Bulldogs won 28 to 14. Andy told me there was a party at Courtney's house after the game and asked if I wanted to come. I accepted and after the game we headed out to her place. There were quite a few people there and it was a really fun party. I actually danced a lot....and dancing is somthing I NEVER used to like doing. But...it was good and I had lots of fun. I bonded with some more people and Now I realize that my rejection was the Lords way of showing me that.....the sort of love that I was seeking isnt right for me to have right now....but the love of my friends is where I'll grow. And I catually agree with it when I think about it.

He sure has a way of doing things doesn't he?

Oh, and since I've been having crushes way too easily....which I admit is my biggest weakness that i'm trying to fix....i've been writting about them like I did with Sara all that time ago. I still have to thank you so much for introducing the idea to me Cait since it's actually helped me greatly here. And it's doubling as a way for my writing talents to come out and be showcased. Of course I dont use names but the way i write it is just magnificent....though I am a bit biased on that front. And that's all that's happend that's worth nothing. Till I post again.

~Love ya~
