About Me

I'm a Christian activist and political subversive.

ON GOALTENDING:
"When a game gets close to me, or threatens to get close, my conscious mind goes blank. I feel nothing, I hear nothing, my eyes watch the puck, my body moves -- like a goalie moves, like I move; I don't tell it to move or how to move or where, I don't know it's moving, I don't feel it move -- yet it moves. And when my eyes watch the puck, I see things I don't know I'm seeing. I see players as they come on the ice, I see them away from the puck unthreatening and uninvolved. I see something in the way a shooter holds his stick, in the way his body angles and turns, in the way he's being checked, in what he's done before that tells me what he'll do -- and my body moves. I let it move. I trust it and the unconscious mind that moves it." -Ken Dryden, the Game.FEAR, OBEY, AND GLORIFY THE MOST HOLY GOD

My Interests

Music:

a little bit of everything and not too much of anything

Television:

...I like Project Runway, ANTM. And occasionally get sucked into those infomercials.

Books:

Any dictionary, but preferably an older M-W one (which doesn't mean I can spell hehe)
Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow + Pastwatch Redemption by Orson Scott Card
The Gilded Chain by Dave Duncan
1984 by George Orwell
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel BEST book I've read all year :D

And good authors to read are Diana Wynn Jones, Vivian Vande Velde, Timothy Zahn, and Garth Nix...

And there's more but I don't remember them right now.

And I've never read Harry Potter. <-- almost the day I wrote that, I watched the movies and read all five books (well seven if you count the two supplemental books...well eight if you count the "Ultimate Official guide") Go figure.

Heroes:

I would like to meet Ken Dryden, but I don't know what I would say to him. "You are the best", maybe, but I don't mean the best goaltender and I don't mean the best writer, I'm talking about connecting to people through writing about hockey.
