Bond Fire & Cookie Bake

The Thanksgiving dinner at the Realife Cafe was a great success. With not only some great food but also some great games the whole thing was a blast. The main event, aside from the wonderful homemade food, was the parent-teen know each other contest. A parent and their teen would sit in two chairs and questions would be asked of them. Three teams competed and two tied for the win so there was arm wrestling to determine the final winner. On a side note, I was the on the final winning team with my dad.
There was much more arm wrestling as the night went on and James became the champion of that for a while. There was also much talking, of course, and a number of logic defying games played. Anyway the bond fire at Kristen's house is this Saturday starting at 5pm and ending at 9pm, so bring yourself and perhaps some hotdogs and s'more stuff. The directions are as follows:
-Removed after event.-
In other news the Cookie Bake will be happening sometime in December, if you are interested you need to coordinate with Gina as I do not have the details. Lastly the paintball party at my house may or may not happen sometime during the break but if it does it will not be an official Oxygen event, I myself will set it up.

Thanksgiving and Break

With Oxygen of 2006 winding down, I want to start off by thanking everyone who has welcomed me into O2 and made me feel part of it. Next I am supposed to remind everyone that this Tuesday we are meeting in the Realife Cafe for the Thanksgiving dinner with our parents; don't forget to bring the food!
Despite this being the last official meeting we are still doing the bonfire next Saturday I believe (or possibly the next), directions will be provided this Tuesday for that. Also the cookie bake is still happening, so coordinate with Gina to figure out where and when if you don't already know.
Lastly sometime in November or December it is likely we will play paintball at my house, however you will need to coordinate either with your own gun, paint, mask, and CO2 or someone elses as we do not have many extra. This event is still in the works and may be postponed to the spring, bear with us.
I do not yet have information on when (and where?) we will be meeting in 07, that will come soon though. (If I am not mistaken it will remain the same.)
For the moment I have no more information to write, so I will update this again sometime next week. 11-11-06

MIA & Harvest Party

Last Saturday was the MIA Oil Change date! A number of oxygen members, uncluding myself, showed up and we helped to move cars, wash, vaccum, full fluids, change oil, and eat pizza. It was really a blast, as I learned how to drive for a few seconds some interesting cars, and I learned how to change brake pads, which was really awesome. Throughout the work I got to know some awesome MIAs (Mechanics in action) and got to learn a lot more about car engines than I ever knew.
Last Tuesday was the fall harvest festival! We were instructed to come to help in costume, so I came as a knight, some of the ladies came as princesses, and Aaron even came as a mechanic! Anyway, after a bit of confusion we got situated outside in the freezing cold to run the Extreme Nerf Zone! They had some great nerf guns that did clip loading, front loading, and cylinder loading. Some of the guns worked better than others but we had a blast. I along with my armory assistants must have loaded 2000 nerf rounds between us all. My only regret was we never got to actually play in the rounds. Ah well, it was a blast anyway with the cider incident, kettle corn, and the cold wind. We even got visits from Darth Vader, Samurai, Ninjas, princesses, warlords and ghosts!
