Chinese massage = One hour of TORTURE

Hello!
Well, admist the busyness of work, my roommate and I decided to go and get massages after my back-to-school night ( I had 5 parents show up--piece of cake!:) Well, let me just tell you, that was my first Chinese massage--and my last, I'm afraid.
First of all, I DID tell her "softer"!!!!! (Kris Counts, I thought of you and your Thailand foot massage!) but maybe she really didn't care and wanted to hurt me! I honestly don't know how people fall asleep during a full-body massage--they must have a very high tolerance for pain. Here are some of my thoughts as this little Chinese girl was kneeding the life out of me:
1) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW and other four-letter words like PAIN:)
2) I think she's trying to paralyze me!
3) Is my lip bleeding??? Cause I was biting down on it pretty hard!
4) How in the heck do people fall asleep during a massage?????
5) My arm doesn't bend that way!!!!!!
6) Is this over yet????
7) I wonder what they're saying about me?
8) I'm starving!!!!!!!!!! (I didn't eat dinner b/c of back-to-school . . .)
9) Foot massages are the way to go!!!!!!!!!
10) Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever will I put my body through this again. TORTURE.

As you can probably tell, not the greatest thing ever. I honestly will never again willingly pay for another sheer hour of toture, even if it was only 10 bucks! NEVER AGAIN! And when I woke up the next day, my neck hurt! Explain that!
Anyway, other than that--volleyball team lost their game on Friday, youth group stuff has been really great, and I went to a special needs orphanage today--the kids were adorable. :) Busy weekend, and lots to do before Monday! :)

Write more soon!!!
