Feed My Starving Children

Today we went to Feed My Starving Children. For those of you who don't know, it's an organization that sends HIGHLY nutritional food to children and families who are starving. Now people misjudge that word a lot. This is literally brink-of-death starving, as in hungry enough to eat mud pies and stones to fix hunger pains and sleep for at least a little while. NOT kidding. This group has found a meal comprised of vegetarian chicken flavor, PACKED with vitamins and minerals, dehydrated vegetables, soy, for protein and edible by vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, and rice for carbohydrates. These meals we made are literally saving lives.

I enjoyed it a lot. Irritant and who she calls Cloud, so I'll use that name too, were there and we were lucky enough to be in the same group. I honestly wonder what the leader guy thought of me showing up in a Joker sweatshirt... Anyways, we worked together to create meals. They played music, half of which I knew, and overall it was fun. At the end we were given samples of what the meal would taste like. Though it wasn't the prettiest it WAS really good. Enough to make me want more throughout the rest of the day. Also the leader guy told us about these bracelets that women in starving countries made to sell for money for food (really really pretty). He said that each bracelet gave them $5, a large amount for them, to feed their families and themselves. Unfortunately the bus had shown up by this time. But I got one anyways. I rushed to the back where they were being sold and bought one as fast as I could. Then and RAN out the door and to the bus. Irritant and Cloud can tell you, it was damn funny. I don't think Mr. History Teacher saw, but he seemed rather pleased I had gotten one.

I think that if my sweatshirt didn't phase the leader guy it scared Mr. History Teacher. It stares. I'm not joking, it's got those Mona Lisa eyes that follow you... except it's the Joker. I sat across from Mr. History Teacher and he kept glancing over. Irritant also got the Joker stare. It's actually kind of unnerving. Y'know, you look down and all of a sudden the Joker is staring up at you from your sweatshirt. Kinda creepy.

Spazm wrote some more. We've both been bombed with ideas, so we've got a little more plot and know what we're gonna be writing for a while. We planned a lot of it out over the phone recently.
