Random, but...

-I'm on the phones at work now.  This is both good and bad.  I miss having communication with the outside world as part of my job, so that's good.  We actually get to help a lot of people too, so that's good too.  Bad because when someone still owes a ton, there's nothing we can do, and that royally sucks.  If I could make these debts disappear for these people without getting caught, there's a good chance I would do it. (hope Big Brother isn't watching).  However, I can't, and if I could (and did get caught) I'd be in jail for a long long time, so there goes that hope.  Still, it's sad to see people in debt.  That part of the job sucks.

-I was going to try to throw a "community" party on the 13th of next month, and use the BSU (BCM, whatever) as the spot for it.  The idea was to invite my friends, have them bring whatever friends they want to, get the house churches we have friends in to bring their bands of merry men & women, and just sort of be together for a night.  When I drew up a list, so many were old BSU folks that it almost seemed more like an old weekend party, which honestly, got me even more excited about it (I swear, I would like few things more in the world than to play elbow tag with some old friends sometime soon).  However, the B was booked that day, and I really don't know of another place off the top of my head that could hold as many people as might potentially come.  Still, for those who are interested, WE (being any old BSUers) have been offered a free weekend night in November (the 10th or 17th) to use the BSU for a reunion night of sorts.  So, if anyone is interested in setting that up, let me know, and I'll help with getting people together for it.  It'd be worth all the work for one game of elbow tag.  Just one.  Doesn't that sound like fun?

- So, with that said, if anyone wants to hang out on Oct 13th, you're invited.  I have no idea what would be going on (or if I'll try to do a community thing anyway), but if nothing else, it would probably involve Wrelstemania 3 or MST3K in the day, and just hanging out with friends at night.  (I promise not to make anyone see any Cameron Crowe movies this year, even if I do still say they're all really good).

-I've been listening to a lot of REM lately.  Steph was sweet enough to download my favorite song by them for me ("Half a World Away"), which I didn't have.  She also downloaded a little Randy Newman, which is always good.

-2 kids at the library are arguing beside me.  I'm glad we get more mellow as we get older. :)

-There's a book  behind me called "The Nerd Who Loved Me."  None of you dated a Vicki Lewis Thompson, did you?

-After a reccomendation from Bill a while back, I'm reading The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.  I tried to get Cell, which I've heard is good from a couple of different people, but the library by me didn't have it.  Still, this one is really good so far.

- I've got work in 45 min, so I have to split.  So sad that Xanga isn't the rage anymore.  Facebook is fun too, though.  I just miss reading stuff.

As much as I'd like to get together and hang out, Gwen's first birthday is on Oct. 10th. I think that weekend is booked!! I'm glad that we get more mellow as we get older, too! And just an FYI...her name was Vicki Lewis when we dated. The whole Thompson thing must be a married name

The party sounds like a great idea! I'm gonna be out of town visiting Wolgy...er...Staify on the weekend of Nov 10th, though, so I'll cross my fingers that it's on the 17th I'd offer my place so we can do it whenever, but it's not big enough for everyone. I could see about renting out the clubhouse in my neighborhood if you want...

This background color is so you...

BTW, you can post on Facebook. They're called Notes, I believe... Same basic idea, I think.
