whoops






So basically my life is normal right now. I don't have to talk to girls that I don't want to talk to. AAAAAND I don't lay around all evening thinking about not-wanting to talk to them. Her.

I found my razor's head. So I'm smooth-faced again. FOR NOW

I want to P'shop something. I'll look into that later.

I'm trying to learn chess and be awesome at it. So far I am failing at both tasks.

My security software is not working. I wonder how many icky software infections my computer has accumulated in the last few days.

I wish Atlanta wasn't so stinkin' bright. You can't see ANY stars.

Good night

So, the Appalachia Mission trip. It was amazing. I don't feel like going into detail, unless someone specifically asks. It's not like I'll have trouble remembering it. I took over 300 pictures/videos in a week. Not bad.

The title is my new nick-name. Why, you ask. (Or should that end with a question mark?)

You'll find out when I get back from this short party. Later.

OK. So. I got the nick-name because there was this open mike thing at evening session on the last day of the trip. There are about 8 youth groups, some very large, and the staff are asking for volunteers to go to the front of the large room and share about how God blessed their trip. Normally, I think these are fun to listen to, but not so much fun to actually do.

I felt very moved by this week. So I went up there. And talked.

And it was great. Apparently I'm super funny when I'm nervous. It might have helped that my opening line (I sound like I was a comedian at some show) was, "Hello, stage fright."

Once I got started, it was hard to stop. I had so much praise to tell. The guy in charge actually told me to hurry up. Meh.

The week was amazing.

I have a facebook.

Katie got back from China, but I haven't gotten a hold of her yet.

I made a few friends in Pathfork. I just can't wait to go next year.

to leave up an angry post after I've calmed down. But I had nothing else to post about! So, it stayed. Thanks for the concern, ladies and gents.

Today I have to finish a book and I'd like to get into some of that math...meh. School tomorrow!

Lots of Christmas candy left-over. Yay!

Food time, I think.

So I've been messaging one of the females (girl? woman? She refuses to tell me her age) from that facebook scuffle last week. She isn't the friendliest person I've met, but we've had a pretty neat conversation about belief and the existence of God. It was sort of weird: I basically messaged her and said, "Hey, you want to talk about it?" And for some reason she's put up with me, even though she's pretty brusque about it. Right now we're talking about whether God would be able to interact with the universe (or "magic" as she refers to it). She agrees there COULD be a god (though only on the technicality of proof) but seems completely put off by the idea of that god being able to do anything else. I think that's an odd constraint to make. What do you guys think? IF there was a god that created the universe (not necessarily the God of the bible, mind you,) would you expect for it to interact with the universe or not? Why do you think that? As of yet I haven't been able to get a "why" out of her. You gave me such good answers last time, and it may be that I'm just misunderstanding her.

Paradigms are very interesting. Your paradigm affects your entire point of view in the world. Sometimes it's more subtle than others, but I think most people don't notice. She and I will never understand each other if we start off by making different assumptions. It always comes back to your most basic assumption. What is it? That the world exists? That you exist? I think in those two cases we can't help but make those assumptions, since the other options don't give us much to work with. But it's always fun to think about where the others come from, and how they affect my actions subconsciously.

Spring break is coming up soon. I think I'm just going to stay here in ATL and chill with friends. Maybe take a short trip down to the church in Auburn and say hey. I wish more was going on.



I've been listening to more music like this the past couple of days. Copeland, Paper Route, Walk the Moon. It's nice.

The St. Baldrick's shaving party is today. You can still donate, if you like! I'd definitely appreciate it, and it goes to a great cause.

Tonight I will be bald. I'm...sort of anxious? It's pretty weird.

There's a tad more I want to say but I don't recall it at the moment, so I'll get back to this electrodynamics. Later.
