Today's Mighty Oak

Episcopalians are to the Catholics like Canadians are to the US



Lots of things I guess.  Let's see…chances are I'll forget stuff, but I'll give it a shot.

So I've been reading a lot (big suprise), and typically I don't really like crime books.  However, when the crime in question is the death of Humpty Dumpty and the inspectors are Jack Spratt and Mary Mary (quite contrary), I enjoy it.  The book is by Jasper Fforde and I suggest it, he also wrote a book about Jan Eyre, Great Expectations and Hamlet (I kind of want to read the Hamlet one).

I went up to camp this weekend for Fall Ceremonial.  Suprise suprise, I was put on fire crew.  Which was a lot of fun, since we actually had enough people (7 people to build 3 very, very large fires…as in, we use down trees to create the teepee around it).  Sadly though, there was a bee hive in the ground near the third fire pit, so that created some issues, and the fires didn't burn quite as well as we hoped, and of course, people complained, but whatever, it's a new ceremonies chair, and he's doing a good job.  I may not be his official advisor (yay for politics), but he wants me to be.  And of course, now I'm going to be helping out with publications and the dance team (doing crafts for them, not dancing or drumming).

So anyway, I get over the summit and hit traffic…oh yeah…84 Lumber Classic, crap.  Traffic was horrible, but I evuentally got to camp.  Hung out for a while, got mistaken for a youth member (which makes the transition to being an adult even weirder), and met up with people I hadn't seen for a while.  Saturday night, a bunch of people go the Black Eyed Peas concert and more hanging out ensues (also the reservation director goes to The Clarks on Sunday, he contimplated taking a picnic dinner…hehehe).

Also on a side note, I met up with Bobbie, Fr. Fred and Fr. Boniface.  Ranger Will told me they were running a retreat, so I stayed around after I was all done and went to mass with them.  It was really cool seeing them, they were all really suprized to see me.  I felt a llittle out of place, only three arrowmen and a whole lot of Catholic families (read: lots and lots of small children), but it was nice.  I talked with all three of them for a while afterwards, it was a nice refreshing ending to an already really good weekend.

And may I just say, I met up with an old co-worker I haven't seen in a while.  And since I've seen him, he was in a horrific car accident.  Everyone says how much he's changed and how much  nicer he is…well, he hasn't changed at all.  He's still the horrible, useless, condesending person he always was.  He just tries to play up the car accident.  I refused to even mention it, and he was just itching to tell me about it, I knew it, but I wouldn't give him that pleasure.  Yes, I'm even more of a horrible person, I know, but really, nothing's changed, and it ticks me off that people see a change in him.

In other news, I'm running to become a DRC Liason in Until URU and URU Live, and we've been making campaign flyers and banners and such, which is a good time (all digital off course).  Basically, the post works as a Liason between the DRC and the explorers.  We set up town hall meetings, conduct interviews, "help" with unveiling new areas, etc.  It's improtant becasue with the transition to URU Live coming up, things are going to really hectic and crazy-go-nuts with news.  Anyway, it's kind of exciting for me, but then again I'm a big dork.  If you really want to know more about URU, check out the site I work at: URU Obsession

SVC Homecoming (without the football team, they don't start playing unti next year…yeah, go figure that one out) is next weekend.  It actually looks like I'll be going up Wednesday night to hang out, go to Passion (and then the bar) Thursday, and then actual homecoming festivities Friday and Saturday.

Ok, so this post really sucked, it was all over the place and confusing, I'm sorry, I'm listening to Distorted View in the background, and usually it doesn't affect me, but it's a good show, so I'm going to blame that.  Have a great one everyone, and I'll see you all back here again soon!
