PAY ATTENTION!!!
If you don’t, you may end up like me. Today I decide to buy my plane tickets to Moscow, Idaho for the 7th Annual Credenda/Agenda History Conference. Well I was so involved in my AIM conversations that I ended up buying tickets to Seattle, Washington. Talk about stupid. Of course they were non-refundable. So I ended up buying a ticket from Seattle to Spokane where I’ll spend some time with my friends, the Eyres, before going off to Moscow for the conference. So for all those that were wondering if I am going, I am. I am just taking a short detour to Seattle What a sense of humor our King has. I’ve always wanted to go to Seattle (Okay, no I haven’t), and now I have a great story to tell people like you. And to think, I did this on the same day I received my grade reports. I am still maintaining my 4.0. Something is seriously wrong here.

I am scared to go to Moscow in January. I am about to die of cold here. It dropped down to 76 degrees in the apartment before I turned the heat back on. It’s gonna be cold tonight!

I found Theology on Tap at the hotdogblog. This kind of reminds me of what we do at Enoch’s here in town but only on accident.

I have a little purple monkey that talks to me. He tells me all sorts of neat facts. He really annoys me, but I am somehow attached to him. He used to tell me jokes, but I told him to stop. He also has a little friend, a yellow butterfly. If you’d like, you can also download a little annoying purple monkey.

Make sure you get your copy of Touchstone magazine’s special Tolkien issue.

I give my math final tomorrow. I need to write it out still, so I should go.

I do not quite know why I am still up. I think it is depression. Depression from spending too much time looking at other people’s blogs. People that know how to figure out their template lol. Depression from trying to figure out the blogger template. I am realizing I have no skill for making my template easier to use. In fact, some of you may actually read this blog before my template is fixed. I make HTML technicians, like Jad the Dirty Rotten Canuck, come in and fix what I mess up. So maybe you’ll read this and see how horribly pathetic I am at working this template. On the other hand, you may see this after Jad fixes it. In that case, you will think I am a wonderful HTMLer. It’s a lie! Oh, by the way, Jad is Canadian (hence DRC). I used to think all Canadians were weird because they can’t carry guns. Then I met Jad. He changed my views on Canadians. He introduced me to Smirnoff Ice. My only consolation is that Rachel Booth and Vickie Orr made cookies and dropped them off at my house. That makes everything better.

I found this musing on singleness quite funny. I have been where this girl is…often. I know some of you who still read this blog have been there too. I got a good laugh, but at the same, I know what she means!

I am adding Sensus Plenior to my blog soon. I may even get it on there today. I have the HTML code. However, there is a good chance I will screw something up along the way, and you’ll never see it. Okay, okay, I sound like that little kid on that commercial for that stuff. Ya know the one. Those drugs?

I keep getting bitten by mosquitos. Aren’t they supposed to be dead already? HAHAHA! Not in Louisiana.

My plans for free reading keep getting pushed around. I am STILL trying to read N.T. Wright’s What Saint Paul Really Said. I need to make sure I finish Dennis Bratcher’s The Concepts of Conditionality and Apostasy in Relation to the Covenant before our Pastor’s Conference. The only difference in that scedule and reality is that Pastor John Barach of Trinity Reformed Church (URCNA) is speaking instead of Dr. Norman Shepherd. Like Jad, Pastor Barach is also Canadian. I might also mention that Jad is also in the URC, but as far as I can tell, those are the only connections I have seen.

Chapel was great although I found it interesting we chanted the Nunc Dimittis, which is traditionally for vespers. I threw a pizza party for my math students today after chapel. I have been commissioned to edit a new Star-Wars book by a world renowned (okay not world-renowned) author. In any case, that will take up more of my time. However, the pay is well worth it. Okay, maybe it’s not. I can dream.

I spent a little time finding out what old high school friends are doing nowadays. One signed this petition saying that she hates God, or something along those lines. Two girls from my chemistry class are Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. Kinda weird to think I’ve had Dallas Cowgirls in my house. Another girl is an editor of a really liberal magazine. The unfortunate thing is that three of those four (all but the last) went to Fellowship of Christian Athletes back when I was the Senior Officer. I thank God he destroyed my knees so that I ended up at Belhaven and then Monroe instead of Kansas State or OSU. Ah speaking of football, I played football the other day. It made me feel really old. I have a bruise on my chest from where Jordan Wilkins tackled me. I intercepted a lateral pass and made it back to the one yard only to be tackled. I landed with my elbow in my chest and was quite out of breath for a long time. The next morning every muscle in my body was sore. Oh, here’s a football pic from high school. Oh how the mighty have fallen haha. I imagine most of y’all know I was also a cheerleader.

One last thing. I watched Memento the other day. It is worth watching. It’s rated R for language and violence. The movie is neat though.
