FOR YOU (again)

Posted On: September 23rd, 2006 at 8:25 am

I know, I know, it's been awhile. And I only have the usual excuse: I've been busy. :P

But it's true, as y'all well know.

To the best of my knowledge, I am officially registered for FOR YOU in NC. WOOHOO!!

In other news, I have recently become enamored with the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. I recently got "The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe." I had never read any of Poe's humor before, but he's actually pretty good. If you converesed with me recently, you have doubtless heard me say "If you are ever drowned or hung, be sure and note your sensations--They will be worth to you ten guineas a page." This quote comes from "How to Write a Blackwood Article," which is actually more of a satirical work than a humorous one. If you want humor, read "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether."

In other news, I'm taking a speech class now. How fun. I haven't done too badly do far. I'm class president! This is because we only had three people to fill the 5 officer positions. A couple of new people have since joined the class.

Already this post is longer than I intended. Sorry. Nothing profound from me tonight. Maybe next time. ;-)

*Reads e-mail* How interesting. Our high was 99 degrees today, and I just got an e-mail from a local university saying, among other things, "The temperature is dropping..."

Final words from me: Go to FOR YOU in NC next year. It's going to be so awesome. :D

Thanks.

As to why I didn't tell you, well, it slipped my mind. That, and it didn't seem like that big of a deal. We didn't even have an election. It went like this:

Class 1: Decide which office you want.

Class 2: Deliver your campaign speech, and the office is yours!!

So far we don't have a secretary (yet). We combined historian with sergeant-at-arms.

I probably do need to get on AIM more often. I can't remember the last time I was on. :P

As to getting to NC, I think it's fairly obvious: We will use some kind of vehicle. :P ;-)

Goals...I need more goals...

What do you mean by "What was my campaign speech"?

You mentioned you had to have a campaign speech to get elected, so I wondered what yours was. Blogger Smiley

I guess I'm having trouble understanding what you mean when you apply the word "what" to a speech.

Interesting, I just picked up a Complete Works of Poe at a flea market the other day... I was surprised to see a section entitled "Humor and Satire."

As for For You, I don't know yet... I'd like to go to both, for different reasons..... Ah well, I'll be at one of them. :)

I found out that I may really be going to NC! I met one of the youth group leaders here a few days ago and they were already interested in HT! He said the other kids would rather go to NC because the Twin Cities aren't anything new. Yay!

In my unpacking of boxes I found a few Edgar Allan Poe books and stuck them on the bookshelf in my room for further reading. Blogger Smiley
