Hey people,
Well I know I've probably talked to all of you before about this stuff, but I have a bad memory so humor me.
What are each of you planning to do after highschool? College? Which one? What degree? You know stuff like that. Remember that time we sat around the fire at Rachael's and we each told what we thought each other should be? We passed the flaming stick around and who ever had it got to talk or be talked about. Good times, I miss em. Wow, I sound like an old person. Speaking of which......

stick handling
Ahhh guys I'm going to miss hockey...they better have it back next year. Speaking of which we should get a huge hockey game started and I would beat you all because I'm the only one who ( i think) that's ever played it before. Anyway the NHL had better get their act together.

batfog
Is this not cool? I love flickr. Tom it is completely up to you whether or not you are scared of bats. I'm not, I like them. I don't pick them up though, because they could have rabies or something worse. Anyway bats are cool.

READ THIS! (Tom, that's my yelling voice.)
Goodness, I didn't mean to post that many "tots". Ben, you made me laugh out loud. "I like tots, but not that many." See, flickr kept telling me that it didn't post and it wouldn't show one the site, so I kept clicking the button.
Anyway, this post has a higher calling. I need everyone's help please. For the past 4 or 5 years, dad has been putting on a "shadow drama" of the Stations of the Cross with his 8th grade class. This year he's too busy, so he can't do it, but I told our DRE that I could round up some people and put it on. That's where I need your help. I need about 6 people to act, 1 person to do lights, and 2 readers. The actors don't have any lines and no one even sees their faces. It's all done with shadows. This is happening on Good Friday and we'll probably only need 2 practices. We usually get a full church for this. Yeah, so I need your help please. Leave a comment if you can help.

The Forerunners of the Women's Movement Were Pro-life
Forerunner.com
Alice Paul, the suffragist founder of the National Woman's Party and author of the Equal Rights Amendment [1923], objected to combining abortion arguments with the fight for the ERA; Paul termed abortion "the ultimate exploitation of women."
This is really interesting. Last year during that week or month that we celebrate women's history we watched a movie about Alice Paul starring (none other than) Julia Roberts. The film wasn't really that bad, but they made her come across as a staunch feminist. This is quite interesting because I've heard about things like the above quote that would suggest otherwise. Public schools and hollywood, a lethal combination. Let's just hope they don't make people watch Kinsey in the classroom.

Poll:
What do you think about depressing music, ( example: good charlotte, evensceance, ...whatever else you can think of)
1. It's evil, never listen to it.
2. It's not evil, but I don't like it.
3. It's not evil and I like it.
What do you agree with and why.
P.S. I'm not telling you which I agree with yet.

"Tots"
Yeah, that's what's for lunch today. Turkey gravy over mashed potatoes...mmm...I can't wait. I know, I complained about school lunches, but this is good. Oh, and if you go the the picture on flickr, it tells the recipe to make the potatoes in the picture. (we make that kind at my house sometimes) Mashed potatoes are definitely good with garlic.

Interview
Aaaaaa! Tomorrow morning at 8:15 sharp is my interview, about 20 minutes long. I'm really quite nervous, although I shouldn't be. I hate having to say stuff about myself like, "I'm an organized person and I work well with people," etc. I feel so fake. Also, I feel like I have to think of stuff too quickly it ends up sounding dumb. This weekend, I have to go to the sholarship competition at Aquinas, so once this interview is done, I'll have something new to worry about. Life is great. I have to finish my 5 page english paper on obesity in the US yet tonight, so good bye. Happy Valentines day!
