Well, I have been sick for the past few days. Also, my internet was down for about 4 days. The internet problem was quite stupid, it was accidentally disconnected from the electric pole. Those Fucking Bastards. What a waste of 4 days without internet. Anyway, I am feeling mostly better today but still have the left overs from whatever I had. I work every day through Friday. Saturday and Sunday I have off. It is going to be a busy one with it being Thanksgiving week and me working at a grocery store. Yeah, imagine that. *shrug* Not that it was good for my cold/flu/fever/whatever that I had, but two evenings ago after I got off of work, instead of going to bed right away which I should have done, I bundled up, and walked to a specific spot to write. I haven’t done that in quite some time. However, as cold as it was, it was worth it. Having thoughts flowing through my head and not getting them out either on paper or talking to someone really starts to clog up my thinking. I get irritable and pissed off easily. I am already stressed on top of it. I wrote a lot. My hands were freezing towards the end but I kept going. When I write, for the most part I don’t stop to really think about how I am writing; I just write and get it out on paper. Plus, the first things I think of and then write them down is most likely how I view that subject, the real truth about things in my mind. It was a clear night as well. While walking to the spot to write, I was looking up at all the stars. One of the first things I saw was the little dipper. Yay. There were lots of stars out. More nights like that to come.

Yep, that’s right. Tonight is Vegan Thanksgiving for 9 other friends and myself over at Lisa’s place. I am making the Tofurky. Other people have their things they need to bring as well. Brian is bringing some desserts and something else that I can’t remember, Jay and Stacey (with an E!!!) are bringing beverages I believe. Jessica is bringing…uhh…another dessert I think? I can’t remember. I know I am forgetting someone else *shrug*. And of couse Laurent and Lisa are heading the evening up. They planned it all. The made decorations as well I think. We do have to dress formal though. poop Oh well, I am cool with that. Everything there will be VEGAN!!! AWESOMEness! It will be an eventful evening.

Well, I just did my first solo Directing for Willow Creek DuPage. It went quite well. At first I was confident. I though: “Hey, this is easy. You have done it before at TCD. How different could it be?” Then the time crunch started leaning on me. It was 6pm and we had not finished sound check. It was all the stupid small things that were holding us back, along with 3 people trying to figure audio problems out. It was really stressing out the audio guy. Anyway, once we started the service, it was all down hill from there. (and I mean that in a good way, the “Hey, I don’t have to peddle my bike anymore” way) Everything went quite smooth, so smooth that while looking in my backpack, I saw I had Biger with me, and started taking pictures of him “running the show.”

I am guessing at least two people up in the booth were looking at me funny but I don’t mind. Yeah, it wasn’t professional, but I still pulled off a professional service. I was told that Shelton was quite nervous because it was a full band. Yes, I do belive I forgot to mention that. Full band: Full drum set, 2 electric guitars, 1 accoustic guitar, 1 bass guitar, keyboard, and 5 vocalists, plus the video feed. It was quite a big show, no wonder he was nervous. Unfortunately I can’t be there for the Tuesday Thanksgiving service; I have work and can’t get out of it. Oh well. Next time.
