Wynken, Blyken and Nod... oh and Pooh and friends!

So I am sitting in the computer lab when I get this phone call... I look to see who it is and it is a phone number I do not recognize. Usually, I don't like to answer calls whose number I do no recognize... but this time, I did. And to my delight, it was my friends Kaelen Z. I say Kaelen Z because I am not 100% sure on how to spell her last name... come to think of it, I am not 100% sure on how to spell her first name... hmmm, well if you are reading this Kaelen and I have spelled your name wrong... I am sorry. Anyway, Kaelen starts to tell me that she is at Faith's house, another good friend, and they are reading a poem with my name in it and I should come to read my part. A little confused, I proceed with this question,

"What?"

Laughing on the other side, Kaelen realizes that I had no idea what she was talking about and starts the conversation all over whith,

"Hi, how are you doing?"

Which of course made me laugh and others in the background of Kaelen. To make this phone conversation short, they were reading poems and came across a name given to me by Faith, which is another story, and wanted me to read the part because they didn't feel right reading it as me... did that make any sense?

Well, I checked a couple of things on facebook and I was on my way to Faith's house. When I arrived at the house, Brandon (the other Brandon hence the nick name by Faith), Scott, whome I have given the name Ttocs (Scott spelled backwards... another story), Rachel, Kaelen ( the phone person), and of course Faith... because it is her house. These are all good friends that are part of the Theatre department, and we have a lot of fun together... at least I think so :-).

They handed me a book after I had a butterfinger offered by Faith, I like butterfingers, and I found out why they needed me. It was a story, I think, about three fishermen... Wynken, Blyken, and Nod. My nick name my Faith happens to be Nod and this poem is not the reason she gave me the nick name nor how she came up with it, that is another story. Anyway, Ttocs (playing Wynken), Brandon (playing Blyken), and me (playing Nod) began to read the poem... and you know what, it was a lot of fun! We actually stayed there quite a while and read other poems, some even in a Scottish accent :-). And we even read stories of Winnie the Pooh! Who would have thought that reading these stories with friends would be so exciting... and yes, we made them exciting!

After reading many poems and Pooh stories, we all got together and prayed! That was such a joy. It is great that friends can get together and have a great and silly time and then praise God for giving us that ability. If you guys are reading this, thanks for sharing that day with me... it is a day that will be a memory!
