This is one of the funniest sets of comments I have yet had the pleasure to read! (referring to what you all had to say in your comments to the last post!) WOOT Tom...very proud of you! I am going to take down all of your awesome suggestions...I love Ben's idea that in addition to Member of the Week we do Site of the Quarter...so learn more about where other people live...AND, Tom, I think we are onto something here courtesy of Alex's comments. Some sites just LOVE to get pumped up together before practice (in-between or national), before shows, before mission projects, and others do not have something like this...they just set up drums quietly, play, tear down, and go home...and we need to move the energy into sites that lack it.
SOOOO as I think about this and take notes, I will need all of you to help me create they way to do all of this through blogging it all out together.
I LOVE the game/riddle/puzzle idea...and that is one of the things I thought would be good from early on...so I will start to work one of those up in my head for Block 2.
And, wow, writing something (song or a BOOK ABOUT SR!! would be a great thing to do too! I have always thought that someday we needed to capture the entire story of SR in book form so that we had a true written record of all that we have done. This includes of course our BOXES of PR things we have kept for 14 years...a huge project that we could start to work on...so it would get done before year 28!!)
Anyhow, here is your assignment together today...start to post the questions you want to see make up the Member of the Week section (you can repeat questions Jordan had and/or add new ones) as well as Site of the Quarter. As we get the latter ready, we will ask ALL members of a site to send in information on that, also helping on the working together goal of this whole thing.
Think on all of that and post back to each other, and I will then compile it all and we will start the Member of the Week project next week.
Thanks for working so hard on this with me!
Steve- LoL im glad you enjoyed it! :D and... U SAID WOOT!!! :D and yes!!! I think we should get more energy before all the amazing good thinkgs that we do!! :D and writting a book or something would be amazing. I always wasnted to be like we have a book...and its amazing!! I think that would be the coolest thing ever. Im writting down some questions now. ill send it in a few mins. :D I love this! Woot ;D
ReplyDeleteHmmm...some questions could be like Jordan's old Member of the Week by having them answer what has been their favorite show so far and name one message from SR that actually inspired you. Maybe some other questions could be "If you could thank anybody for whatever they did in your life at this point in time, who would it be and how would you thank them?"
ReplyDeleteAnother question could be "If you had to tell a random stranger, who has never played drums or any musical instrument, what Sheltered Reality is and stands for, what would you say?"
Maybe questions around those lines I think would be thought provoking and give more insight about everybody.
Dee-Woot! Haha. You are so energetic! Keep that energy going no matter what life brings! It is just a matter of all us staying positive and energetic no matter what life throws at us! And plus I know you are going to come up with super cool questions!
Woot!
Steve-You just made my day by saying woot!!! It started off rough but it's all good now. I will think of some questions as I sit here scanning old pictures to put on facebook in school and reply again later once I have some.
ReplyDeleteAlex-I like your questions.
Dee-I caught myself saying woot just before you texted me in 7th hour!
Alex-I try!! being energetic and crazy makes me happy. Well not really crazy but i dont know. well just being me. I used to hold backk all that because I didnt want people to judge me thinking im weird and stuff. But now Im like pshh they can think what they want I will be me! I will live life and have fun! Im proud of who I am. so WOOT! :D LoL I think everyone should be excited and energetic because it makes the day go by and it always turns out an awesome day!! :D and thanks I got a few questions but i dont know yet. Im not happy with them.. waiting for the perfect moment!! LoL andd.. you questions are awesome. I like em!
ReplyDeleteKelli-i know right! You know when its an awesome day when Steve says woot! ;D i was sooo excited I was like AHH!! HE SAID IT! :D LoL yayy!! I got it stuck in your head muhahahahahaha!!!! LoL :D
Alex- I like those. (I'm kinda new so my friends are all like "What's Sheltered Reality and why won't you stop talking about it?" so I already have to explain it to people. I'd like to see what other people say.)
ReplyDeleteKelli- WOOT is infectious, isn't it? I said it today during archery practice.
Dee- You have a great take on life!
ReplyDeleteSonja- LoL. thanks. It feels good just to be me! not that I wasnt being me before but i was just shy and i just sat there. now Im like HEYY!! :D its crazy how peole can be so bummed, then they see someone like hyper and stuff and there moods change! i dont know if its just me seeing that or not but it cool! :D lol
ReplyDeleteWOOT should go on a SR t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteHey steve! I just got a full drum set! WOOT!-Aaron@crsite(aka lil a) Practice was really cool too. We started to learn the choreography for Wolves of The Sea!
ReplyDeleteSonja- Dude!!! i would be soo very proud if that was on an SR shirt. idk why! LoL .that would make my day!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAaron- ahh!! you said Woot 2! you rock my socks also! lol. anyone that says "Woot" rocks my socks. lol. ;D
Dee- I would totally buy that t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteSteve- I love the book idea there are so many amazing stories from all the different sites. That many should hear about. The question I like is WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT YOU? This question is used alot in many of my classes and I have found the answers to be really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteDee- Being the emotional big sis that I am! I am very proud that have come to the person you have become! I am proud to call you my lil sis! Love you! Keep up the energy and if you could send some my way!!! WOOT (I hope I used it right you know how I can be)!LOL!!!
Alex- I really like the questions you mentioned. They really get you thinking!
Sonja- I know what you mean with having to explain what sr is to many people. I always try and change it up when I tell diff people but I usually just stick to the some old thing. Reading about that other people say would be amazing!
Aaron- Glad you got drums! Have fun learning Wolves of the Sea! It is a great song and full of energy!
Sarah- I think pretty soon I'll just send them to YouTube. Not really, but I'm already getting tired of repeating myself. I need a better answer.
ReplyDeleteAaron- I love the choreography for Wolves of the Sea. I'm not great at the drumming yet, but I'm getting there!
ReplyDeleteQuestions? Questions? I like the ones suggested so far? others for consideration - if you were to make a bucket list, what would be top of the list? What three things are always in your refrigerator? What is your favorite group/artist? musical genre (pop, country, christian contemporary, etc)? what do you think people believe of you that is not true? what is your favorite beat(Surrender cowbell fill, tick-tock or eenie meenie Colleenie) (ok, just made that up so I could mention the E-M-C beat). If you were King/Queen of the world, what would you change? How do you hope to apply the lessons learned from SR later in life? Pick one of the Steps of Success and tell of a time where it has payed off for you. I could go on and on, but I fear I have gone on and on enough. Hope this primes the pump for some other great questions.
ReplyDeleteVERY VERY VERY good job everyone...I will just comment here that I love all of this AND the idea of the book going over well...all I can say is WOOT! I will ponder this some the next three days (we drive 4 hours today, 5 hours tomorrow, and 10 hours on Sunday, so I have lots of time to ponder)...and we will talk more on the book next week.
ReplyDeleteI will let you guys have one more round of question generating and then, we will get a list of them put together and posted. I think we will work on getting that done by next Tuesday...from Tues through Fri next week I will not be on here...that is another packed show/drive/etc for me...with a new trip to Watertown, SD from mid-Missouri...so I will have to leave you a BIG post to work on during those days :)
So, work on questions some more...the deeper the better (as I see you all agree with) and we will set the goal to have done by Tuesday so I can post it and we can then figure out how to start selecting member of the week.
On a side note, Aaron YAAAY! WOOT! Glad you got your drums and started the Pirate stuff at the same time :)
well here are some questions I thought of so far.
ReplyDelete"What is your favorite Color? Why is it your favorite color?"
"Do you have a favorite Sport? Or a Favored Sports Team?"
"Who or what has been the biggest Influence in your life?"
"Do you like your Personality. Do you wish you were stronger, braver, bolder?"
"Have you ever stood up for what you Believe, even when it was very hard?"
"Are you the Person you want to be?"
Umm ok. If you never joined SR or heard of SR would you be the same person you are now? Why or why not?
"If you could Change just one thing in the world, what would that be?(it can be anything)"
"What are 5things that you have in you room that you love?"
"Can you play an Instrument other than the drums? What instrument do you wish you could play?"
"Do you do the SOS(Steps of Success) daily? Have you ever thought about how many times you do it in a day?"
" What is your favorite movie of all time? Why?"
"What is you favorite television show?"
What movie do you want to see really bad but didnt get the chance to.
"What is your favorite saying, that you say?"
Well... thats all I have right now. I'll probably think of more by the end of the day. :) lol
"What's your favorite Step of Success and why?"
ReplyDelete"What are you most proud of about your life?"
"Do you have a theme song?"
I can't think of anything else right now....
What is your favorite mission project, and how did it impact you?
ReplyDeleteWhy did you originally join SR, and have your reasons for staying changed?
If you were all of a sudden out of the group what is one thing you have learned that you would take with you the rest of your life?
What makes you, you?
How is your friendship different with sr friend and non sr friends?
ReplyDeleteWeel i agree with all the questions especiallt toms, you have quite a few there.
ReplyDeleteIf you had to move, would you try to stay in contact with Steve and Jordan and your site?
If this blog was never created do you think we would be as close as we are now?
Well thats all i can think of for right now. i will probably come up with more...i hope :)
Dee- you are always anergetic, how could anyone judge you on that? :)but it is a good day when steve says woot haha...
Alex- your questions are amazing i could never think of things like that and well have them actually make sense and be good...all at once :) i like your questions :)
Sonja- I still talk about SR all the time and i havent even been to a practice in awhlie. my friends are always complaining that i talk too much but thats okay. when i first joined i told all my friends and they all wanted to join too. anfd i like the WOOT on a t-shirt idea. its a good one :)
Aaron- the coreography is hard but its fun isnt it? :) congrats on getting a full drum set :)
Colleen-Indeed! :D Idk people are weird anymore. It seems like if your hyper or whatever people also think you on something. They always ask then annoying guestions like :Are you on something? Can I have some?" And all I have to say is grow up. lol I enjoy being energetic! Its meee :D Woot
ReplyDeleteColleen- I just go on and on about how epic it is. I don't know how my friends stand it.
ReplyDeleteDee- i know even my own botfriend asks me if im on crack and stuff and it is extremely annoying...so yea. i just ignore it when its from other people cause im one of those people who have that group of friends that everyone shuns, but they deal with it cause of me being a cheerleader *ugh*
