Because nothing rhymes with orange. Sept 18th, Entry #89.

Sara:  Last night at FLOCK we talked about the 5 Love Languages: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts and Physical Touch.

Let's look at a few highlights:

Words of Affirmation.
Our lovely, and brave, friend Brandon was selected by Aaron and I to be the subject of 5 poems about him.  They were awesome.  And he was a champ.

Your hair flows in luscious locks every time I see you at FLOCK.
You like the Rams but that's OK, the Chiefs will kick their butts someday
From the way that your trousers sag, I can tell you are full of swag.
From all these compliments I hope you can see that we all think you are extremely tasty.

His hair flows like a Ram's fleece.
His dance moves prove that he is a beast.
His kicks are as smooth as the rocketing passes from Sam Bradford.
When he's around there is no chance of being bored.

This goes out to our dear buddy, Brandy. 
You think the Rams are positively dandy.
Dear Brandon, why can't you see,
you hair reminds us all of JB.
Your Taekwando skills give you fists made of brass,
And I'm sure you kick all your opponents in the ...face?
We love you with the passion of a thousand suns,
Sometimes we love you so much it gives us the runs.

I met a man at FLOCK, he looks just like a jock.
With muscles like a rock, and eyes like a twinkling star.
His hair is like a chocolate bar....mmmmm, creamy.
And BTW, he likes the Rams....OH YEAH!

B is for the brown hair that sways to and fro
R is for the Rams that gallop across St. Louis
A is for the affirmation that flows from my being
N is for the narly behavior that comes from your behalf
D is for the day I saw your tae-kwon-do
O is for the oranges b/c nothing rhymes with orange
N is for the ninja that lies within.
Brandon.

Physical Touch.
Oh, Jimmy the Overly-Touch Orderly, how awkward you are. 
Don't be like Jimmy....you won't have any friends.




Quality Time.
We asked each group to come up with a list of ways to spend quality time with family, friends and someone you are dating.  If you're looking for some great (or even decent) ideas on how to spend quality time with loved ones...this is not the place to look.

QT with your family
Hockey, dinner, board games, Mass, football, TV shows, canoeing, drinking egg nog, eating pineapple, folding socks, burning stuff in a fire, watermelon seed spitting contest, peachwave, scream at bad drivers, scream at NFL refs, scream at telemarketers, scream at spiders in your house, dress 1 person as a gorilla-dress another as a banana-have gorilla attack banana, go to a Chiefs/Royals game, make cookies for Santa, mission trip, camping, table tennis tournament, write grammatically correct sentences and then check each other's work

QT with your friends
XC meets, eating, movies, chillaxin', XBox, bungee jumping, play chubby bunny, watergun fights, planking, staring contest, being classy, smiling, peachwave, scream at scary movies, scream at waiters, scream at pet rock, run in the rain, run to the pool, run at the gym, racing, jokes, coneing, go to peachwave and get a cup with just 1 sprinkle, bonfire, Rock Band, Just Dance 2, petting zoo, karaoke
