"Oh look, an Eskimo!"
I hope Jennifer doesn't fail me just because I wrote a theological paper for my Drama of Diversity final; the basic thesis statement of "Angels in America" is as follows: AIDS is a problem because God abandoned humanity (for whatever reason) and isn't coming back. My 2 2/3-page paper was all about trying to prove the opposite; I might put it up on here. Turns out this guy Gerard in that class is a furr; out of nowhere one day on FA I got a message from him, quoting a line from the play: "Blue spruces don't grow in Antarctica."
Aaaaanyway, I haven't been able to fix my glasses, so I need to make an emergency trip to the Vision Care place ASAP to get some new ones. I haven't had an eye exam in a couple years anyway. It'd be nice to get some new glasses; I'm thinking about getting some circular, John Lennon-type frames instead of the rectangular ones Pat & I have had for the past few years. PETTY OFFICER Morrison is coming home tomorrow night for two weeks, by the way! =}~
Lately I've been noticing that I've been increasingly OK with the smaller amount of time I'm spending online. Wednesday I wasn't on the computer at all, and I didn't bring my laptop to Perky Cups with me yesterday because I didn't NEED to use it. That's a sign that my internet dependency is weakening. Which is good. Other things are weakening as well, but I'll leave discussing those to my accountability partners. Hanging out with Timber yesterday was a BLAST, though! It was Animal Day at Perky Cups, so we met up there for breakfast then went to Toys R Us and the mall.
I've also noticed that I'm REALLY jealous of a bunch of my friends. I'll let each of them know why when I get to that step in CR, but in the meantime...pray for me?
Today I filled out an app at Pier 1 Imports. First app in a long time. Last thing I need to do for the Central City Opera app is get a physical.
Over break I'm going to do a LOT more reading, maybe try to finish my entire one-volume "Chronicles of Narnia". I'll probably re-read "Mere Christianity" and, just for the heck of it, all 5 Shakespeare plays in my collection (Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet). That'll probably just be for the sake of Jeopardy! prep, really. Still waiting on that phone call, but once I do, you won't hear the end of it. I'm going to play my guitar more, too, especially since "How He Loves" is my new favorite worship song and I've been learning the chords.
Dinner & drinks with Caleb, Alisha & Gabe on Tuesday night, then a Christmas party/game night at Caleb's Thursday night. Let me know if any of you wanna come; Caleb can give us a ride from my place.
That's pretty much it for now. Seeya later, everyone!
