Things I've been meaning to blog about...

1. I'm in the process of joining my church. This might not seem like a big deal to most of you, but this will be the first church I have officially been a member of since my childhood church. Every few years, they have sent me a letter asking me if I want to remain a member, and I have always said yes, because I didn't feel like I ever "belonged" anywhere else as much. I could probably say a lot more on the subject, but I've been realizing lately how important it is to be committed to my church, even if I might not have any idea what the future might bring. So I gave my testimony to the board on Wednesday, and will soon be an official member of my new, little, beloved church.


2. I'm playing board games tonight at my Starbucks. There is also live music tonight at my Starbucks. If anyone happens to be in the area, please feel free to swing by around 8 p.m. (it's the Starbucks at the corner of Fitzwatertown and Easton roads in Willow Grove, about a mile from the Turnpike exit).


3. I had to work on Hallowe'en this year, so I didn't really bother coming up with a costume. Then, when I got to work, my manager told me that I was allowed to dress up, as long as I didn't cover my face and followed the safety codes. So I went home on my dinner break, put on a long, black, velvet dress, painted my face white and my eyes black, donned a cross, and went back to work. Such a waste, though, because I think maybe three more customers came in all night, and even after calling everyone I could think of, I couldn't seem to convince anyone that they should go to Dracula's Ball with me after I got off work at 10:30. And I never even took a picture, so you'll just have to imagine me goth.


4. Last night, I stood up under a overhanging counter and nearly knocked myself out. Really. I hit my head so hard that I fell down. There's a huge goose egg there, now, and it hurts hurts hurts! I am such a dumb.


5. Okay, so I haven't really been talking about Lost, which some of you may be missing (and some of you may be grateful for). I am a little sad about Eko, but everytime someone dies, I must admit, a part of me just heaves a sigh of relief that it wasn't Charlie or Hurley. I'm still very curious about the evil black magic cloud thingy. Do you think it's part of the Others? I'm starting to think it's a completely separate, distinct weirdness on the island. Or, perhaps something that the Dharma initiative was playing with and lost control of, like the polar bear experiments. And what about Juliet's little secret message? Do you think it's all for real? I'm torn. It would fit the brainwashing/con model really well if it was a trick... Ben just came clean about their plans, which buys them some trust from Jack, and now Juliet is forging a secret bond with Jack, which he won't suspect is part of the plan, because it seems too foolish for Ben to continue with that plan after confessing it. So it could all still be part of the same ruse. And, I know I'm a few weeks behind on this one, but I, for one, am glad Sun shot that chick. Score one for the good guys, and not getting walked all over just because they happen to be good. They were trying to steal her boat. Protection of property and all that. More power to her, I say. Oh, and one final thing, in all caps, 'cause it just has to be. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY ONE MORE EPISODE AND THEN NOTHING UNTIL FEBRUARY!!!! PURE EVIL, I TELL YOU! Hmmm... Maybe the whole television series is an elaborate Dharma initiative experiment on the entire television-watching population of the world. That explains the EVILNESS in any case.


6. I find it ironically ridiculous that the Blogger spell checker does not recognize the words blog, blogging, or blogger.
