After the Amish and before Graduation

I'm graduating from Northwest Arkansas Community College with an Associate of Science degree on May 12, 7pm, performing arts building at Springdale High School.

I didn't have much fun visiting the Amish due to time, but the food was definitely good. The guitar recital wasn't as much fun as the first one, but I...survived...anyway.

I know of two people who could use some prayer for healing. As people might read this and know to whom I refer, I won't say, but two older ladies need prayer...like old enough to be most of ours' grand mothers...*grandmother*.

Things I can do that have little or nothing to do with my degree:
decorate cakes
calligraphy
web page design
basic computer troubleshooting
play clarinet and guitar
origami
basic French
touch the tip of my nose with my tongue
tie a cherry stem in an knot with my tongue

Guitar Recital

One last post for the evening:

I have a Beginning Guitar Recital this Friday, April 21, 7:30pm Burns Hall in room 2303. Translation: That's the main Northwest Arkansas Community College building, in the Music lecture room. If you want to come and are afraid you can't find it, let me know. I'll be racing from a Sociology trip to have dinner with an Amish family so I can't pick you up, but maybe I could meet you at our meeting place.

I'll try to remember to report on the Amish trip. It should be quite interesting.

My car is wrecked, it was the other person's fault, but we're only getting $1,400, which will neither fix the car nor buy another one. :(

Neopets and other things

Neopets is currently running a "minor" plot. The goal so far is finding the constellations of the twelve founders of a city that appeared after being "disappeared" for one thousand years. So far we've found eight of the twelve.

I've become addicted to Su Doku. Practically everyone forgot my birthday last week, but one of the few who didn't gave me a book of Su Doku. I've done nine easy or mild puzzles in the week that I've had this addictive little book.

I started going through a book called Building Dynamic Faith, by Jerry Falwell. Most of my church read this book in January, but I was unable to do so. My mentor and her husband both went through it, but she agreed to go through it with me again. I'm using his copy...she said I could keep it, but I don't feel comfortable doing so. That's a long complicated story, but anyway...Two weeks have gone by without us meeting because of work stuff on both sides and I've kinda lost interest. I know I need to read the book, but I probably need to be reading a chapter a day as is intended rather than every other day or so.

A month between posts...ouch!

I apologize to anyone who might read my blog for my lack of posting. The end of a semester is just plain insanity, much like the insanity of World of Warcraft role playing. I'll start with that. So, first of all, I'm playing a 6th level gnome priest named Kitli. If you know anything about WoW, that combination is quite odd, apparently, just like me! Anyway, the group in general is quite an odd assortment, so it works. We have a night elf who's recently sprouted "devil wings," as many in the group are calling them. This has caused most of the group to be quite distrustful of the night elf. Kitli is wary, but realizes that the night elf is still remaining true to the group, has caused no more harm than had in the past, and has given her no reason to believe he would turn on the group thus far. I think you might compare her to Luke Skywalker believing there was still some good left in Darth Vader. Will the same hold true in this case? Only time will tell...
