Freaking paper cups made of paper...

Woo, I got quite a bit to say, let's see if I can get it all out before I have to leave to my cousin's (Vanessa) 18th birthday party. Yea, I don't believe it either...

Anyway, yesterday at work, well...it was Friday. And every Friday they bring us donuts. So as usual I scarf down a donut, only to realize that the water machine (the one with the red and blue flippy switches) next to me has no cups. Great. So, with the super creative mind mankind was given, I used my imagination to make myself a cup from some paper I grabbed on a desk. Now, I don't know origami or anything, so my first attempt at this was a simple cone. I had to bend the bottom up, because I couldn't tighten the paper enough to close at the tip. Now, if you've ever folded paper into a cone, you'll see the problem I ran into. As I poured the water in, and it stayed in, I brought it up to my lips, only to see that this isn't some even surface. Part of the cone was stickick up like some spear, while the other folded down a bit. Fold a paper into a cone to see what I'm talking about. Either way, I was thirsty so I just chugged it down, and spilled a bit on my shirt.

Later on, after I finished my 15 minute break, I got thirsty again. This time, I made a better cone, bending the bottom tip up higher, and folding the top section nicely into an even cup type shape. This worked great and I had another cup of water.

The problem, with this is...this water hurt. After my first drink, it felt like a paper cut my tongue or something, or atleast a little (if it was a full paper cut, I'd probably scream in agony). So I thuoght that with my second attempt I'd be more careful. No. It must've been the paper or something, but my tongue hurt more, and soem pain shot up through the left side of my neck, and up into my ear. Not right away, but a small sting some minutes later. I feel better today, except my throat is still a little sore, but man, what the heck do they put in paper these days? Freaking chemicals...

Also, last night at youth group was awesome. It was great to see how people got closer to God and stuff, and how the Lord moved his spirit through the youth group so powerfully during the fire tunnel. I thank God for everything he's done for us, and everything he will do. I hope we continue growing like this, and that we can glorify him as much as possible in our daily lives.
