Livejournal Forgiveness Quote
So, I went back into my old Livejournal account, looked at the 1day1thought community, and found this quote for today.

How Ironic
So, I've been selected as one of the team leaders on Catholic Campus Ministry's upcoming Search retreat, and guess what I'm giving a talk on?
Reconciliation.
All kinds of good ironic. I'm ridiculously busy competing for a scholarship and one of the four spots on our school's ACM team. Sorry for not posting here except in a blue moon, I do sort of feel disappointed in myself, but oh well, being too busy is life. Expect more eventually.

From the Mouth of Babes
"But why would somebody do something just for money?"
A kid in "Alvin and the Chipmunks" asked this of his mother as I was cleaning up the theatre. Oh, if only we were all as smart as six-year-olds.

A break... finally
So basically, it kind of seems like this blog had died. It went more than a month without anything of a substantial update. That's a huge no-no. But even though I let this aspect of my digital life slip, I'm glad that my good old flesh and blood life has been picking up quite nicely.
The pro-life club I'm in is now planning a pro-life conference, which will hopefully turn into a statewide thing. If anyone knows any people in Pennsylvania that are interested in hearing quite a few pro-life speakers and showing their support, tell them to drop me a line. It'll be on Friday, April 4, at Penn State and the next day, Peter Kreeft will also be speaking at Penn State courtesy of another group on campus I'm involved with.
Speaking of that other group, I was recently voted in as the secretary for the Newman club on campus. Newman is a Catholic student organization I've been a part of since my freshman year, and apparently the members think well enough of me that they'd like me to be the secretary this next semester while the previous secretary goes to study abroad.
Onto another club on campus, Penn State's Paranormal Research Society's TV show just started, Paranormal State, and I'm proud to say I know some of the people on the show. So far the show has been good, it's a lot of helping people, not so much running around with cameras a la Blair Witch, like you might expect of a show dealing with college kids and the paranormal. All of the episodes so far are good, but for my more religious readers, the 2nd and 3rd episodes, The Name and The Devil in Syracuse are both fairly religious-y, having to do with demonology and such. There's even a deliverance (a lesser form of exorcism) in one of the episodes. It's usually on Mondays at 10 pm on A&E, but this week there is no show, new episodes are starting back up on the 31st. So, if it's New Year's Eve and you want something fun to do at 10:00, turn on A&E.
Classes and final exams finished for me as of Friday, and I found out that this is the first semester I got all As! Four As and one A- (I probably should have showed up to more mythology lectures.) All in all, a great semester, but even greater for this next reason.
And now, for the biggest announcement, I have a girlfriend. Shannon and I have been going out for almost three weeks now, but unfortunately for me, we live 2.5 hours apart when not at college, so I don't know if we'll get a chance to see each other over the break. Also, our one month anniversary is the day I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out. Now how's that for a present?

What I'm sorry for
So I am sorry that I haven't been posting here as often as I should, and I kind of gave up on Nanowrimo because I've been having to write all sorts of nonfiction and poetry for my creative writing class. What I'm really sorry for is this:
I'm sorry that I don't live closer to my friends, so that I could give them hugs when they're feeling crappy.

Day 2
As of Day 2: 1,453
Yeah, I know I'm a bit behind, but I do at least have some sort of help, come Thanksgiving, I can get one of my journals from home and put in a big old chunk of it in as an introduction to set up one of the plot devices.
Oh, and because I forgot in the last entry, here's the link to the official Nanowrimo website: http://www.nanowrimo.org

Nanowrimo
This month I will probably be even less available than usual, partly due to many exams and final projects happening, but also due in large part to Nanowrimo.
Nanowrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month. The objective is to write a 50,000 word nanonovel over the course of November. It's fun, but this being my third time attempting this challenge, I'm hoping that I'll actually finish this year, for the first time.
As of Day 1: 605 words
