Thanksgiving

Well, this was intended to be written on Friday, and Katie and her brother Brian can attest to me writing it during a Tom Brokaw special, but the stupid internet messed up before I could post it. Anyways, my Thanksgiving break was awesome, I had a great time relaxing with mine and Katie's families and I really can't wait until this semester is over and I get another break for Christmas time. Life is funny like that, you think school is all good, but once you get a break from all that dumb work, you don't want it anymore.
My brother and his wife wont be able to make it down to Mobile for christmas (sad), but I got my present from him early. He gave me Super Smash Bros. Melee, so now I can spend the next week until finals (and during finals, but not during study time) beating the crap out of Chuck and some guys on my hall. Anywho, now that I'm back online at school, I should be able to update a couple times this week. Back to killing chuck

Thanksgiving is almost here

2 out of 3 papers finished, and this last paper only has to be 5 pages!!!! Yes, I am coming down to the end of it all before the break and I'm excited! This week has been fairly good, if you don't count all the stupid paper writing that I've done. This weekend was pretty relaxing, I watched Elf and Blade and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade all on Friday, so it was a good time, and I'm considering popping in Raiders of the Lost Ark while I work on this paper later. My parents stopped by today on their way up to the cabin we are spending Thanksgiving at, it was the first time I had seen them since Aug 15th.
Dodgeball is going pretty well, my team is 1 and 1, and I got hit right in the face last game, my lip still hurts from it. Let's see, what else is going on? I rediscovered my SNES on my computer today and now I'm craving Super Mario RPG, but I have to force myself to get some of my paper done before I get my reward. I think that's really it for now, I've just been paper writing most of the week, hopefully when I next write something will have happened. I thought about writing some about my theological thoughts, but that can wait till I have a bit more time. Until next time, I remain Nate

Its been a while

Well, I have been pretty busy lately. My sister came to visit this weekend and we hung out and watched some movies. We watched the Stepford Wives, which was pretty sucky, Envy, which was pretty good, and Bourne Supremacy which was even better. After she left, I have been killing myself trying to get all my papers done before next week. I have just about finished my first (of 3) papers, and as soon as it gets done, Im off back to the library to get information on my other paper. So, this week I'm taking a break from writing the stories that I want to write in order to write these stupid things. I hope to write more this week, especially after our first dodgeball game tomorrow. If anything else happens, Ill be sure to let you know, otherwise, I'm back to work!

the Lost Boys

HA, what a great movie. Lindsey Matthews has been telling me about this movie for forever now, and we finally got the chance to watch it tonight. Talk about awesome vampire/80's cheezyness. It was just a really fun movie. Now, I get to watch some Mythbusters, which (when added to lots of time with my Katie) makes this night great! I didn't get to watch LOST yet, but Katie taped it for me for us to watch tomorrow, WHEW! Right now, my little short story baby has reached 7 pages single spaced and I'm really excited about it. I love how its going and it is definitely my favorite so far. Finally for my big piece of news today, I finished Dark Tower III - The Waste Lands and have just started Wizard and Glass. These books so totally rock that I just can't rave about them enough (they are like the literature version of LOST = total awesomeness). Now, I must go to bed to watch more Mythbusters and read some more Wizard and Glass before sleep!

Nothin new happening

So, nothing really has been happening the past few days. I met with Dean Slay this afternoon after he took a look at the short stories that I have written. He gave me some great suggestions to help me write better and maybe one day you will be able to read something published by me (aside from my wonderful Letter of the Month printed in Toyfare). Anyways, Dr. Slay liked my stories, which really made me feel a lot better about my writing, since now both he and Katie hve said they like them. So, now I'm back to writing, I hope I have more to say later.

The Incredibles are

Yeah, so my internet has been out all weekend, so even though I really wanted to post on saturday and sunday, I've had to wait until now. I saw The Incredibles twice this weekend, and man is that a great movie. Its one of the best superhero movies ever! Pixar just did a great job with the powers and we can only hope that the Fantastic Four uses these powers as well as they did. The Flag Football tournament could have gone a lot better, we lost all but one game. The main problem was that we discovered that at LaGrange we really play ghetto flag football, and at the tournament they had all these crazy things called "rules" that we had never played with before, so it was just interesting to watch us try to play. We finally got the hang of it and won our last game, but that was it.
Yesterday, Katie and I cleaned up my room so it looks spectacular now! I'm really ready for thanksgiving, I like my weekends too much and i hate it when they end. Well, now it is time for lunch, I can't think of anything to say anyways, except Dodgeball starts tomorrow, so I'll have to talk about that later, hopefully I'll have a new post tonight anyways. Watch LOST!!! (Mom, dont knock it until youve seen it)

Singing my love for LOST till the day I die

This show is freaking incredible, the plot just completely drags you in and the characters actually have depth. Tonight's episode focused on Dominic Monaghan's character Charlie (for those of you who haven't seen this show, I suggest you start watching it and start watching it now, it will be repeated on saturday night), and it was just great to see him struggling and see his backstory as to how he got addicted to the drugs. I mean in all truth, I really can't tell you how great this show is, it is just wonderful. I will be buying it the day it comes out on DVD, so if any of you live near me and don't watch it, I will force you to sit through it with me.
Also, for those of you who live under a rock or just have no idea what is happening in the world, President Bush won the election. I don't know whether to be happy or sad, he is a good guy and all, but I just don't agree with everything. Oh well, I guess its really the lesser of two evils, or is it? Finally, while I am talking about things I love, Katie is the most wonderful girl in the world. Who else would take their evening and sit and watch LOST and Mythbusters with me? She is so great, I love her so much and can't wait to be married (7 months from today, since it just hit midnight)!!! Well, it is getting late, so I must sleep until class tomorrow

The End of Flag Football (until the tournament on fri/sat)

Yes, you read right, we lost today against the Pi Kapps in an incredible effort in the pouring rain. I actually scored a touchdown, which is really incredible since I play line. Despite our awesome playing, we were just not good enough, and lost, but it was ok because playing in the rain was just so much fun. Let's see, nothing much else happened today aside from classes and voting. I've decided to refrain from stating my political beliefs for now because of the problems I've had trying to talk about them with others, I know people disagree with me, and I'm fine with that, I just wish that sometimes people could respect my own beliefs for what they are... mine. I come about my beliefs through my own thought, I am not easily swayed by other people and I think and pray a lot before I make decisions, so thats that.
Anywho, everyone should go see The Incredibles this weekend for two reasons. Reason 1: It looks to be an awesome movie, just as anything by Pixar is; and Reason 2: get ready for it.... THE STAR WARS EPISODE III TEASER TRAILER!!!!! Oh yes, May is coming fast for three reasons, graduation, marriage (actually thats in early june), and Star Wars. I'm so pumped for this movie I can't even express. Yeah, so I really just ran out of things to say.

I loved the ballet!

So, this weekend totally rocked! Not just the new cds and video game on friday, oh no, it didnt end there. On saturday, I got to sleep really late, and then I got to cook myself a steak for dinner!!!! That plus garlic mashed potatoes, biscuits, and fresh green beans..... yummy!! Then, our school had a Halloween party thingy, where we heard Dr. Slay tell a great ghost story (just to say how awesome he is, he emailed me the story in full because he had to edit some parts for time); then we went on the "Scary Campus Tour." It was really fun, even if it wasn't really scary, we goofed off a lot and messed with our tour guide (I use the plural because it wasn't me alone in all this, if you need a complete cast list, it will be at the credits at the end). Then, yesterday, Kate and I went to church and were expecting a lazy sunday, only to get a call at 3 in the afternoon from Lindsey Matthews asking if we wanted to go with her and Laura Anderson to the Dracula ballet in ATL. I was kind of skeptical at first, but once it started, I was soo into it, it was really amazing, the music just sucked you in and the dancing was (for lack of a better word) beautiful! I loved it, and I want to go back!
On the ride home, however, things took a turn for the worse as some stupid yellow car tried to kill us multiple times. But, I was luckily able to swerve out of the way and we lived to tell the story, without any injuries (save the one on my elbow from the Scary Campus Tour). Anyways, I spent the rest of the night and all of this morning studying for my Midterm in Dr. Shirley's class. I think I did ok, but it took a lot of time, so I wasn't able to go to my Ethics class. But, I did get to play LOTR Trivial Pursuit with Chuck and Matt. Then Chuck and I spent the rest of the afternoon getting ready for our awesome lesson for Bible STudy tonight. I'll tell more about that later, since FOKR guys read this and I dont want to ruin it for them. Anyways, it was a great weekend! More from me later!
