Two of my favorite people...

...Robert and Nour.



We volunteered as elves at a Christmas party.

Yeah, we're pretty cool.

Ahamdolilah

Yurhamkuum allah.

A couple of things

Thing #1: A girl fainted in class yesterday. Robert told me that the same thing happened last week when I couldn't make it. What's up with that? I mean, I was glad for the five minute break in an otherwise mind-numbing class, but it was so bad that the girl passed out? Wow.

Thing #2: The doc says I can exercise again, it being the month-versary of my operation. Thus, it's time to work out like animals again.

Thing #3: There's always a third thing.

Thing #4: Festivus started yesterday, and it's been fabulous. I got a trash can today. I can't wait to find out who drew my name, and I'm excited for the last day so my identity can be revealed. I love Festivus. It's a holiday for the rest of us.

The Hand of the Lord

Um.

So.

I woke up and my room was on fire.

More precisely, my heater had melted through its own stand and was on fire, along with the floor.

The floor right next to the carpet. That is right next to my bed.

So yeah, I'm chalking this one up to the Hand of the Lord for so many reasons. I woke up, and caught it early enough to stop it. Michael was still awake and quite in control of his faculties, and thus threw some water on it. It didn't spread very far, and there isn't too much damage (except for a spot of melted plastic on my floor). Also, unbelievably, my landlady wasn't very mad and in fact was grateful that I was alright. That was pleasant.

Anyway, it's midnight now. I think I'm going to try and sleep again, although it is certainly a rush to wake up to a fire where there shouldn't be fire.

Definitely the Hand of the Lord.

Pictures!

I've got a ton of pictures to post, and there's more to come when everyone sends in the last of the pictures. For now though, enjoy:

For Halloween, Melissa and I were awesome tigers





For Thanksgiving, Jacob bought a 28 lb. bird, and it came with the head



I thought I was original until I saw Jacob kissing the turkey too





Here we are in mixing Thanksgiving with No-Shave November



We had to have props for our beards, so mine was a girl (Thanks Nour!)



The last day











Exhibition day





I hope Robert never shaves this off





I hope this link works, because it's to a photo album on Facebook. That way, you can see all of the pictures of No-Shave November.

Also, I wrote this in the "Edit HTML" section of Blogger, like I always do, and if it weren't for cut and paste, wow, I don't know what I would've done. Please don't view this page's source, because it will make you cry.
