Harvest :D

Strangely I awoke today wondering why the walls of my room were solid and not moving with the wind. I decided I will blog it in a day by day style like I did before with one of my blogs XD Mainly so I don't miss anything out.


Wednesday

When we first arrived we had to set up our tents and I believe out of our group I may have been last to succeed in this... or definetely close to last. We had the BIG launch at 3pm which was mostly games to win our village points and information on the week ahead. This ended at 3:45.
During the 3 hours we had to kill until the main event Queen Green made rules up. This involved No thinking of Elephants, No killing, No dying, Clapping when Fiona said something clever, Telling Hannah we loved her when she asked for attention amongst many others.
The main event (6:45-9) was awesome XD The Steels who I saw at Light Water Valley played first which was cool and Yfriday followed. I looked forward to Yfridays performance everyday, mostly because I knew the songs and enjoyed them.
Throughtout the week you could text in shout outs and 2 involving our church got shown. 1 from me which was a shout out to our very shouty washing up team consisting of Hannah, James, Luke and myself (although I didn't really shout). The second we later discovered was sent in by Will which said ''Will you marry me James Hedges?''.
The bands were followed by games. Dave Newton was the speaker and spoke about how God is unbelievably big and stressed the importance of how awesome he is.
In the after hours, me, Esther and Luke watched Up which was being shown in the barn.
After this we all sat and talked in the kitchen tent until sometime after midnight until we all went to bed.

Thursday

We all woke up relatively early the next day. I was rather cold but this helped me decide how many layers I need to keep warm so I didn't mind too much. We had breakfast about 8ish and Andy our village chief shouted to wake James up.
We went to high fibre, the morning service, at 10:15. The guy called Peter who played the music was good and Gav Calver was speaking everyday for the older group which was good because I has heard him speak before at Unite and learnt from him. He was also quite funny.
After dinner Esther, Luke and I went to a mission trip called Hope. During this we left site to a church about 20 minutes away. We decorated cakes and handed them out in a box of 5 to the local community for free. This laster just over 2 hours before we were took back to camp in time for tea.
The evening service was at the same time but with the Naughty Vicars as the opening act. The bassist from the Steel played with Yfriday because their bassist couldn't make it. I was in pain through the service but still enjoyed it despte spending most of it in my seat. Ruth Valerio who talked about worship being a choice.
I went to bed early so missed the after hours events :P

Friday

I woke up at a time I thought was late in comparrsion to the previous day. I went to the prayer meeting (9 - 9:30) which was different to what I expected, I guess I expected more to be attending than did. When we split into small groups to prayer I was with a group of lads I didn't know but they were nice and introduced themselves and we prayed for one another.
We Gav Calver spoke again in the morning and after dinner we went to Hope again and handed out more cakes. We were given a box to keep too and so we named them. Mine were called Chris, John, James, Jane and Igorilla. Hannah's were Naomi, Ezekiel, Tom, Ruth and (forgot last one, Hannah if you read this comment with name XD).
Phillipa Hanna was the opening act on Friday and was a lot better than I had expected. Ben Jack, who hosted in the morning service and is a radio DJ (Galactus Jack) talked about when worship hurts and when we may struggle to worship.
In the after hours, Carl, Luke and myself visited the comedy lounge which was very misleading due to it not being funny XD The band were funnier than the comedian. We left shortly after and wandered around before going to bed.

Saturday

Many people came from the church on Saturday. This made playing Ninja more fun as playing ninja had become a daily activity of ours (I was seen as an easy player to get out and I can't deny this). I was also impressed with Andy's chess playing skills as he managed to beat Carl without looking at the board.
After morning service, instead of going to hope we decided to go to a seminar. Although there were many jokes about going to the homosexuality seminar, many of us attended :P It was interesting, it covered many issues and not just homosexuality.
The last evening service was amazing. the bandwithnoname played first and although it is by far not the style of music I personally enjoy, it did make us all very energetic. Yfriday again were amazing and Gav Calver spoke about Jesus being the centre of worship.
Harvest's Got Talent was shown in the after hours. Although I disagree with the performance of Moon Chavs being the best, they won. Crackers was hillarious for unknown reasons yet I laughed all the way through it and cheered them for eating crackers very casually on stage. The audience seemed to have ben looking forward all year for it XD.

Sunday

I enjoyed the morning service with Chris Rogers as the speaker. Yfriday played for the last time at Harvest and the audience chanted and got one more song after their 'final song' XD We took communion and prayed in our group.
Esther, Naomi, Phil, James and I were the last on site and must have been the last people who weren't staff there too :D


It's results day tommorow and I'm a little nervous I guess :P

Twas The Day Before Harvest...

Tis Harvest tommorow so I decided now would be a good time to start packing.

I am excited XD I checked out the bands beforehand (although YFriday played at IXth Hour) which made me even more excited.

I must remember to take my glasses... and camera? maybe XD

I shall charge my phone and iPod tonight too.

I was feelng flu-y yesterday but I'm fine today which is good.

This was more of a list than a blog XD

Blog That May Be Uninteresting But I feel I Need To Blog

So for the past week and a bit I have been re-playing Halo 3 with friends on Xbox Live. After completing it again and playing hundreds of battles online, I have decided to buy Halo Reach when it comes out.

It is set before the first game but only by a few days and you play as a group of characters who stayed to fight rather than fleeing like the main character in the other games. There is also a competition where, if you win, you play as the lead character whilst 4 celebrities play as your team mates. The only one I remember is Rio Ferdinand :/

I am now excited about this.

This Is A Blog, You May Read It

I have internet! Now to blog.

What I Did Without Internet by Sir Thomas Igor Anderson esq.

The first day was easy as I was moving stuff all day. I missed the majority of the waiting around since I was helping at Going Bananas (if you're happy or you're sad, if you're gloomy or you're glad etc.). My room was done in no time with the help of my little brother/temporary slave. Organising stuff took a while so I went out for a few hours to avoid it because I'm helpful like that.

On Wednesday I was slightly annoyed because at Going Bananas (if you're happy or you're sad etc.) I left the room for a few minutes and apparently missed Elijah who came from the past :/ He left shortly before I returned... darn.

The rest of week was filled with me going out as to not be so bored I start playing eye (I?) spy with myself. Going Bananas (if you're happy etc.) was fun and I was sad it ended, we had an awesome team. On Friday night I hunted velociraptors in the woods and so you all can thank me for saving us all from a dinosaur invasion.

I went out with my dad, his girlfriend and that little person who has the same parents as me on Saturday. We went to Stockton festival for a bit where my father proceeded to try his hardest to embarass me, quite literally.

Sunday I got a picture of a happy curly haired girl. I also bought DVDs and probably played on games... I don't remember which is a clear sign of it not being so interesting at night.

On Monday I played games with that person they call Sam who has been living in my house for as long as I can remember and has the same second name as me. We saved Africa from a zombie outbreak and saved the world from its destruction, this took us around 4 hours.

Tuesday my Grandma came. This was fun because everytime she left the room, my older brother and sister both pulled faces and made jokes as though we were still 6. Yhis amused me greatly and so I spent all day in the living room waiting for my Grandma to leave the room. My Grandma mocked my brother's hair and made many suggestions to my older brother's career path. I always get off lightly :P

Wednesday Mr. I. N. Ternet came to install the internet. A ginger cat kept coming in my house which was fun. I also now have Xbox Live which is all I have done so far today.
