Merry Christ Mass

Since I'm traveling home for Christmas the chances of me posting again before or during that time are very slim. May you all have a very blessed (that's two syllables) Christmas and a wonderful time with your families where possible.

With luck my brother will be bringing his digital camera down with him, so maybe I can post a pic when I come back next week. Until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Call Me Crazy

Since people have been asking, here is a quick moving-in update. The majority of my stuff is unpacked, though there are still a good bit of kitchen items that need a home. Unfortunately I haven't gotten rid of the empty boxes yet so my room still looks cluttered and unorganized. As for sharing, meals or chores, not much of that has really happened. I offered him some fresh bread last time I made it, and that is about all, which is fine. We are both responsible adults who have had practice living on our own and there isn't any reason that should change simply because we are living under the same roof. The only conflict thus far in our schedules is that sometimes 'he who is named Chad' is in the shower before I leave so I haven't been able to brush my teeth in the morning but it is enough of a non issue that I haven't even brought it up to him. And we seem to be getting along, no fist fights or shouting matches yet. Of course I have only been here a week :-)

As many of you know I have a bit of a wild and crazy streak that I keep hidden deep down in the darkest caverns of my soul. Every now and then it escapes and causes me either much fun or embarresment. Things like wearing pajamas in broad daylight, permanently dying my hair its opposite color, or wearing flaming pants to my Bible School Graduation. Now most of the time I can control this streak and my life remains fairly average and boring. Today however it reared it's ugly head and made life just a little more interesting. The first instance was when I was driving to church. I had just turned onto lake road (the only snow covered road within miles) when without any warning I put in the clutch, stomped on the brake at the same time pulling on the emergency brake. Needless to say we (Ryusoma was in the car with me) went sliding down the road going into a slow spin. It was thrilling trying to correct the spin without over compensating and start spinning in the other direction. After a few heart stopping moments we straightened out and continued on our way to church.

Then later that afternoon while I was getting my hair cut the streak struck again. I have had my hair back for the last several months and it has simply getting longer and longer. Today the streak made me take a path that up till now I had only contemplated as theoretical. Instead of getting a whole hair cut, the words came out of my mouth asking for only the sides and back to be cut, leaving the top long enough to be pulled back into a warrior knot. For the uninformed a warrior knot looks a lot like a pony tail but instead of being down by the neck it is at the top of the head. Much like the picture below,





Mine however isn't quite so short on the sides, or so thick a tail. I could barely believe what I was doing! A guy with a pony tail, how heretical! Once I got home however I saw what a good job my stylist had done and have decided to keep the look at least into the new year. As for whether it will go past the new year or not, only time will tell ;-)

Huzzah!

A really quick update because it's late and I'm tired. All my stuff is in my new place, and tonight is my first night here. I still have all the unpacking left to do as well as move some things into storage, but for all intents and purposes I've moved.

Also a great big thanks for all those who helped move all my stuff today. You made a big job disappear faster than imaginable, so kudo's to you all.

World Dominination & Big News

To all my readers,


It has been said that "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing." Even though this is very true, I've also found out that "All it takes for world domination to roll on is for great men to give in." What am I talking about? No, I haven't become a Starbucks drinker. I have finally given in and bought a cell phone! Yes it's true, I have become a phone carrying member of the Verizon Wireless Network. I did my best to hang on to my morals though, and got the simplest, cheapest plan that they had. A one year agreement, 450 minutes a month, no text or picture messaging, no web access or I.M. just a straight up call someone and talk with them kind of plan. Why after years of resisting have I given in? Can you handle more earth shattering, mind numbing news? All right...

I'M MOVING!!!

As of next Sunday I will be officially moving in with a friend named (on second thought-to protect his identity let's just call him) 'Chad'. For those of you who don't know 'Chad' recently bought a two bedroom condo about fifteen minutes from where I live and was hoping to get a roommate. Rather than try his luck with the man on the street, he decided to invited someone he knew. I, liking the idea of cheaper rent and living with someone of like precious morals, decided to accept his offer. So in less than to two weeks I need to completely pack up all my stuff, move over to his pad, and unpack my stuff. All the while working, going to school, and pretending that I am swamped with Christmas parties of various kinds that I ABSOLUTELY have to attend. I can't let my social status go down the drain after all.So with a ew home, new address, why not a new phone as well.

I will be sending out an e'mail to those who I know have my current number. If you don't get this and think you should feel free to e'mail me. Chances I won't remember who all I need to send it to. If you do currently have my home phone # you will need my cell as this will be my primary line after I move. Looking forward to staying in touch with you all,


Wesley



P.S. There is no reason I wrote this in letter form. I just felt like it :)
