I've always sort of wanted to be a twin. I have a brother, and right now our ages are close enough that we could ignore the age difference in most regards. Gotta love the little bro.

I was baptized on the same day as another girl in my church. We (the church) like to put lots of emphasis on the day we're baptized, treating it more or less exactly like a second birthday. And that makes us twins! And while it's mostly a joke, it IS sort of neat to share something random like a spirthday (haha it's a mongrel word!) with someone.

We didn't really know each other before we became Christians. For a while after, we only saw each other in passing. But lately we've been interacting more. Tonight she asked me what I was like before I got saved.

(After I bleat at her) "Was your personality before you got baptized similar to what it is now?"

"Yeah...mostly."

"What changed? Were you religious?"

I won't tell you what the answer was. Clearly I was religious. But can you guess what's changed? I don't think anyone here is going to be able to accurately pin me down like that...most of you only see me in what I write here. A grotesque caricature, as it were. Any changes you see are way out of context.

Sort of a weird thought.

That's pretty much what this post is about.

4:33/ Well this isn't working out so well. I'm talking to a girl from Appalachia about where she wants to go to school.

4:46/ yeah, forget this. I'll try again. I just wanted to reset my comment count, haha.

OH, here is my personality type, if you're interested. See if it rings any bells.

Facebook's new chat function makes it really hard to transcribe conversations...it doesn't show times anymore unless you scroll over a specific message, and I have to type in the names myself because it only shows pictures. >,< And it only shows pictures on the mini "buddy list" on the homepage, so it's nearly impossible to know if someone's online or not unless you look for them. Stupid.

I made a website for a class project...It's pretty much the same as this one, layout-wise. I just put some filler crap in it for the sake of the assignment.

It's crazy who I'm still friends with. I'm on good terms with Katie again. Bound to happen eventually, I guess. I had a pretty deep conversation with two people that I met on trips; one is a girl I met with AJ at the beach. Her name is Lauren and she's a senior at her highschool in Michigan. The other is called Stovak, and I met him at a summer camp at Clemson (we planned for the next year and met up again). I hadn't really spoken to either in a while so it was nice to hear from them. I'm gonna see if I can visit Clemson because I have a ton of friends there, and it would be cool to see Stove again. And Lauren's cousin lives here in ATL so maybe they can come by some time (I met the cousin at the beach that same week.)

I'm in the Society of Physics Students here at GT, and at the moment we're having a catapult contest! I'm pretty excited, I've never made one before. Ours is more of a spring powered musket, though. It'll be a blast to design and build.

School's going well. Classes are just the right amount of challenging. I miss my friends from home most dearly...I'm going back for the first time this weekend! Ryan and a few others will not be there, but Kyle, John, Ian, Shannon, and some more kids from youth group will be. SOOO excited.

Putting off some wicked CS homework...I'd better get to that.

That's part of our fight chant here at Tech. Gotta love it.

So yesterday my friend Natty drove 2 hours from Clemson, SC to Atlanta just to pick me up and take me back with her. Because Natty dearest is a good friend! We got to talk and catch up with stuff. It was very nice. When we got there we took separate paths...she had to take a shower and had plans to tailgate (before the GTech/Clemson game). I met up with Fatty Platty and he took me around the campus. I met up with Coach Smith, the Platt family, Luke, and a few more people I know.

The game itself was quite embarrassing. I wore an orange (non-Clemson) shirt with my Tech hat in an effort to compromise...but I still stood up and cheered for my team, which incidentally began to play quite terribly. There was one other Tech fan on our row, but we were pretty much surrounded by Orange. And people cared enough that they chided us, "SCOREBORD!" every time we caught a break. Ba. I had fun, though...

After that I said hey to my mom, who was there for the game with some family friends. Met Sean's girlfriend. She seems nice.

I met up with James (formerly "Stovak"). He was pretty excited to see me, and I him. After all , I hadn't seen him since summer camp before my Senior year. I went to his apartment (he's a year older than I) and met some of his friends. They really are a group of solid guys. James cooked Parmesan Chicken and we watched Quantum of Solace (my first time seeing it) before playing Halo: Reach (my first time playing it). Fatty Platty drove by and brought me back to HIS apartment, where we hung around before a few hours before I crashed on his couch.

We woke up around 12:30 this morning, hung out some more, and got in the car to head back to ATL. Because Fatty Platty is a good friend!

We arrived, picked up Michael, Liz, and Trish and ate at the Varsity. T'was an experience, as usual. But now I'm sitting here NOT catching up on all the work I haven' t done this weekend, and furthermore my hands are getting really cold and it's getting extremely hard to type.

So now would be a great time to sign off. See ya!
