About Me



I think it's hilarious that people actually think they can learn about who someone is through a headline.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Myself from another time. Then I'd tell myself something outlandish and freak myself out. But then I'd tell myself I was kidding and I'd both laugh. Then I'd eat supper together and see how fun I actually am to be around. Then I'd get tired of myself and want to send me back to my own time and meet some other interesting people from history--like William Wilburforce, or Augustine of Hippo, or Kennedy, or Plato, or Achilles, or David, or Joseph, or Lincoln. But what I always thought would be really cool is to go back in time to WWII and meet my grandparents during the war to see what they were like. I've always wanted to see them when they were young. I also think it would be a kick and a half to spend an evening in a pub with CS Lewis, talking about everything under the sun.

On Mail

My favorite kind of mail is the real kind, made out of paper, with real stamps--the kind you have to lick--and written by hand in pen.  I don't like pencil--it's too light and hard to read, sort ...

Halo: More Than Merely Shooting

I really enjoy playing Halo.  I know, I knowthere are a lot of objections you might have, and I've heard them all.  "How can you play a game that promotes murder and bloodshed?"  Or, "...

Checklist for deeper living

Everyone uses myspace to put pithy little quotes up, pictures of themselves, and basically everything self.  I can't really blame the medium of myspace--it's effective at what it does, and what i...

Just a quick one for the road...I get a lot of papers coming through the Writing Center about punishment, the death penalty, etc.  and many of them are very interesting, but there seems to be a t...

I saw the film The Nativity Story today at a special pre-screening at Krikorian theatre for a selected and invited audience. Overall, I liked it a lot, and although the script could have been better,...

Do Justice, Love Mercy...

I was reading the news yesterday, and thinking about our national political situation, which is acutely depressing.  (It is an election year, after all!)  I started thinking about some of th...

In a nutshell...

In a nutshell--my oven just broke, I'm dying to play Halo, I feel overworked, but I'm hanging on, I'm processing some incredible lessons I learned from God today, I'm craving cookies that are burned (...

First Blog

I wanted my first blog post to be really awe-inspiring and potent, full of wit and pithy sayings, and the kind of post that a reader would respond "Hmm" to.  But alas, I have no pithy sayings.&n...
