Ugh.

Reminds me of a period in high school, when this girl Shannon started being really friendly to me, and kept inviting me to "Friday Night Live" - which was a teen church gathering on Friday evenings. Finally, I agreed to come - and it was insane.

I don't remember much about the sermonizing - but I *do* remember that it was held in a theatre (the church was huge) - and at some point, someone in the catwalk up above the stage, behind where the lights are - dropped a CHICKEN from that vantage point.

I have no recollection WHY they did this or what the context was. But there were gasps and shock when the chicken went THUD - and the kids who were organizing the skit or whatever it was, all came running out, shouting "I thought chickens could fly!"

The event broke up soon after that.

The next time Shannon came all friendly, she wanted to invite me to come to church on Sunday with her and her family. And I looked at her, and asked her - in all seriousness - "Do you have a soul quota that you need to save, or something?"

LOL - she backed off and went off to find someone else to convert!
