On A Glimpse Backstage

In which we find both apologies and teases.

Clearly I have failed in goal to write once a week.  In fact I’m lucky that I got this post written in the month of October.  If I let you down I apologize¹.  In my defense, that last post took a lot out of me blogging wise.  Also, most of my creative abilities have been diverted elsewhere.

You may or may not know but during college (and just after) I volunteered for, and then was employed by, an organization called Young Life.  Young Life is a youth ministry program that is designed around building positive relationships with kids, regardless of what their beliefs are, and sharing with them what we believe about God.  When I came back to Bloomington I joined that adult committee that helps to keep Young Life in the area running.  Last fall we² decided to start a new tradition of having a fall weekend for the Young Life students of Greater Bloomington³.

This is all to say that this year at the fall weekend I will be, along with my friends Kristen and Tim, running that program.  Which mean planning and leading various games and activities and, if not most importantly for us certainly the most time consuming, we have to come up with characters and write story lines for them.  It’s a bigger undertaking than you might realize.

So, since that has been taking up so much of my time I thought I’d give you a peek into the world that Kristen and I have been creating.


Stats:
Current length: 28 pages.

Number of characters: 5 (though one is just Carrie)

References to pop culture: Twilite, Scooby Doo, Youtube, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Lady Gaga, Facebook, $5 Footlong, Neil Young, The Young and the Restless, Twitter, Teen Wolf, Inception, CSI

My favorite line #1: “Stop creeping Carrie out you skeez.”

My favorite line #2: “Google it!”

The number one thing that you need to know about the program is that we come out very, very excited to be apart of Twilife Mini-Camp 2010.

I may add more later, but probably not.
peace
