Putting Bullets in This One

Does anyone remember that I used to post a list of random information every Friday?  I don’t know what it was about my life then, but I no longer have that much random information to share.  Today, though, I have a few things to tell you.

• #winetoreach this Saturday at 7pm PST.  If you’re not familiar, #winetoreach is a wine-infused chat party on twitter.  Wine is not actually required.  You just need to bring yourself to twitter on Saturday night and talk to me (@writetoreach) and the other people participating.  You should really try to make this one, because I won’t be around for the few Saturdays after this.  Just saying.

• It made my life that people understood my post on theology.  It’s just that it’s all so swirly and alive in my mind, and I wanted to capture that.  Reading the post myself, I didn’t think I’d succeeded, but people seem to pick up on it.  If you ever want to talk theology, email me (writetoreach@gmail.com)  or find me on gchat (writetoreach@gmail.com) or meet me (Southern California, Western Washington, or somewhere on Road Trip 2011).

• Speaking of Road Trip 2011, it’s going to be awesome.  I have no idea how it’s going to work out and I really dislike planning trips, but this is going to happen.

• Random fact I was just thinking of yesterday.  The school that the main character of my novel (the one I gave people to read) attends is actually the school from the movie 10 Things I Hate About You.  The one that looks like a castle.  It’s in my hometown.  My sister actually went there.  I went to another high school across town, but we played all of our football games in that bowl.  So, if you’re reading the novel, there’s a visual for you.

• I’m a little obsessed with this British show called Skins.  I only started watching because people on tumblr are always posting pictures of a character named Effy and I kind of want to marry her.  The show itself, which Effy is not a big part of until season 3, is pretty good, though I can’t say I’d recommend it to everyone.  The first two seasons are available for streaming on Netflix,  if you want to give it a try.  But, Effy is mine and don’t be surprised if I start wearing a bunch more eyeliner just to be like her.

• I’ve recently started using dailybooth.  It’s kind of like twitter, but with pictures.  You post a picture (usually of yourself that day) and then people comment or reply with pictures.  I’ve known about it for a long time, since YouTubers use it, but I just jumped in a week or so ago.  It’s fun, so  maybe you should join. Again, just saying. You can find me here.

• I haven’t posted about politics in a long time.  It’s not that I’ve grown less political.  I’ve just grown a little disillusioned (I don’t know if that’s something you can be a little of) and my opinions have become less popular. It’s not that I don’t know what to say, but maybe I don’t feel that comfortable saying it here.  It’s just that I take it all so personally.  I take everything personally, if you haven’t picked up on that.  But, I’m going to write about politics next week.  I need to figure it out for myself in writing.

• I probably won’t record a weight loss vlog tomorrow.  Actually, I’m a little unsure what to do.  I just don’t like how much space they take up on my blog.    I might just upload them to YouTube and not post them here.  Not sure, but I’ll let you know if you’re interested.

• At a lecture this week, one of my coworkers asked me if I was gearing back up for my crazy 15-hour days school-year schedule.   I thought, how dare he remind me of what’s to come!  It’s just that I’ve grown quite accustomed to sleeping and I’m not ready to give that up.  I’m also not ready to go back to working until midnight every night.  I still have a month and I will try to savor it, but I’m no good at that.

I think it’s about time I at least pretend to be working.  Hope to see you Saturday!
