what to write... what to write

yesterday i woke up and took my mom to work so that i could us the car.
i went to hobby lobby cause i got a gift card to there for christmas. i
wandered around and looked at just about everything, somethings longer
than others, all i ended up gettting was a excto knife. saving the rest
for later

went to media play cause they are closing and everything is 40-60
percent off. but things we so expensive before that they are still not
that cheep. meh

went to scheels to look at something. i saw it 2 weeks ago but i can't
get it untill monday because i don't buy things after dec 18 because
someone might be getting it for me for christmas or my birthday so i
don't buy it. yeah i know of all the presents ever the chances i buy
something someone gets me is slim but it has happened so i don't buy
anything.

i sure hope its there after the weekend cause i will be at family camp.
they are almost out and they are on sale untill they are gone so i hope
of the 5 left no more than 4 sell.

if you want to buy it for me let me know and i will tell you what it is.

today i took everything that is on the floor in the kitchen and
breakfast nook (where all the dog stuff is) out and cleaned the floor
really good so we can put in that fake tile stuff.

so i said it a few paragraphs up but i am going to family camp. so
thats good news, well its good news for those of you will be there.
should be good

so i was about done but i just saw this commercial for the MEGO
(pronounced like me go) a phone thing for kids that the parents can
program 4 numbers in it and an emergency number. kind of a good idea i
guess. then kids can call home but not waste all those minutes getting
addicted to talking on the phone. i would use a mego. cause i call home
or my parents cell phones or work... shucks thta 5 numbers.... well i
could put one of them as the emergency number. i don't like the phone.

i have 10 phone numbers memorized... if you are one of them you should feel special

QUESTION: what do the following
letters mean: haydima? each letter is the start of a word in the
sentence. if you don't know make something up

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme
well to update you since christmas... how long has it been, two day...

christmas was good, opened presents finally at like 10 am
probably the coolest thing i got was night vision monocular. its 2x
zoom so its a little wierd to try walking around with it, i suppose
thats cause its not necessarily made for that but hey

the family went to narnia christmas afternoon, even peter, normally
peter is against movies on holidays, even for a few days after. he's a
wierd kid

yesterday, did mainly nothing untill the later half of the day

ryan, ben, austen volla, and i got together at my house for a risk
game. it went pretty good. the eventual winners were ryan and i, i
decided to co-rule the world with him cause it was getting late. i
think eventually i would have had him.

i would go into specifics of the game but most of you would probably be bored so yeah.

then austen was leaving at a little before midnight and found 3 of his
tires to be flat and snow piled on his hood. on closer inspection we
found the air nozzle stem had been ripped off by someone. yeah that
sucks

we gave austen a ride home

then ryan played for austen, not for long cause he never got to his next turn, ben and i annihilated him.

the three of us finished the game then headed to the todts house at
about 1 1;30 or something played rummy over there till 4 maybe. i
brought ryan home then came home myself.

today is my parents anniversary, shout out to them, 30 years.

thats about all going down.

i am thinking i want to go bowling over break some time. anyone in town wanna go (or out of town if you wanna drive here first)

also is anyone around here going to new years family camp? i am thinking of going but would need a ride. lemme know


take a break from the question for this entry but if you comment give yourself 150 points (what the hey... its christmas time)

Question: what are you getting me for my birthday?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme
well i have kinda felt like updating for most of the evening but i
don't really have that much to talk about, so here are the mundane
details of today

i can't remember if i have talked before on here about how i started
eating granola with every meal for the last like three weeks or so...

since there is no granola at home i had to go out and get some granola.

my brother recommended cashwise for good granola, they had granola you
can buy by the pound, one brand of granola in a box, and another brand
of granola in the box (this brand had two flavors)

of the two by the pound types one was brown sugar granola, the other
was french vanilla granola. the first brand of of boxed granola was
cinnamon and raison granola. i forgot what kind the two flavors of the
other brand were but it looked really cheap so that wasn't an option.

i didn'y know what kind i would like so i got one box of the cinnamon raison, some of the french vanilla, and some brown sugar.

i tried the french vanilla first. it was pretty good, you can taste the vanilla. you can't taste the french, so thats good.

next i tried the brown sugar. you couldn't taste the brown sugar at
all, you couldn't taste anything other than the taste of soggy oatmeal.


cinnamon raison was my final kind to taste. pretty good, the raisons seemed fresher than the other raisons. overall pretty good.

so the ranking is as follows 3. brown sugar, not so good, never getting
that again 2. cinnamon raison, pretty good 1. french vanilla. good
stuff maynerd

so that was my day
bet you never thought you would see me write so much about granola did you

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
ok so there might have been some confusion in my last entry... when i
said " "studying" accounting with a girl" it may have sounded like
something. but really the reason for the quotes was the fact that i am
not in accounting, so i was not really studying.

that being said...


break for me started on wednesday as all my finals were done tuesday,
came home on thursday, the ride home took a little longer than normal.
the weather was not great. there was an overturned semi on the way home
near fergus so we were sitting still for 20 minutes, at one point a
pickup in our lane was going to move over into the other lane but first
it had to back up, i said something like "oh great, we are going so
slow now that we are going backwards."

the weekend was good, nice and relaxing, no homework, no nothing that i have to do, good stuff

today was a knowledge bowl over at concordia so i got up and went to
that watched moorhead rock it up. it was wierd not being in it at all.
we have all sat out a single round before being that there are 5
players on a team and only 4 can be in the oral rounds, but sitting out
the whole time. i wished i could have played, probably could have
beaten lots of the teams there, not that i am a genius but more that
they are not always so good.

so i am looking for things to be doing over break. so if you guys want to do something let me know.

thats about all i have to talk about for right now i think.
i am not sure how much i am going to update over break, cause there is
the fact that i will have time, but there is also the fact i don't know
how much interesting things i will be doing.

a close shave is correct.100 points to dan


QUESTION: yesterday i heard of a dvd box set of something i wouldn't mind having, what was the box set of?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

so monday morning i had my first college final at 8. for some reason my
alarm didn't go off and i woke up at 8:36. whoops. i put on pants and
went to western civ. i got there and billington was fine and didn't
care i was late, good. i started the test at 8:43, got done in 17
minutes and still beat some people.

last 4 tests have been in 17 minutes crazy.

then it was ot. did good, i don't know if the test was just easier or
if i did good cause i did the study guide. either way, it was good.

i got a wonderful package from a wonderful lady. full of wonderfulness

i was going to go to bed last night at midnight but then i got to
"studying" accounting with a girl, it was kind of fun, we were going
over her old tests and i was getting as many right as she was.

i had lit of food final today, thought it was at the normal time of
8:40 cause he never said different, went at 8:40 and the room was full
of different people not in my class... did some investigating, final
was at 10:30. so i woke up a stinking two hours early.

took a nap today, fell asleep at 3...woke up at 7:30 it was great. except that i missed supper. i think it was worth it.


ANSWER:
i was drinking coke. sorry everyone no points.


QUESTION: i watched a wallace and gromit today, which one?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well yesterday was the 24 marathon. it went well. we started at 10 so
if we went with no breaks we would have been done at two but we had our
hall christmas party and took some other small breaks so we didn't get
done untill 6.

thats a good show
i want the soundtrack, just another idea for christmas....

finals coming. 2 tomorrow and 1 tuesday.
i just started studing... some of you just read that and thought to
yourselves "wow isn;t that a little late to start studing" those of you
who know my study habits read that and thought to yourselves "wow
thomas is starting to study really early for these"

i am going to study more for OT tomorrow morning too... cause i have my
western civ test at 8 so i will be done by 8:17and then can study for
OT at 10:30

i need to find someone tonight that went to the western civ study session. it was at 10 am on saturday. how stupid is that.

well school for me is done tueday, coming home on thursday, going to
camp for friday and saturday. should be a good week once these tests
are done.


ANSWER:

"i <3 thomas" was written on my hand. i change the banner on some
people's cell phones to "i love thomas" or if it is a phone that onyl
fits 12 letters then "i <3 thomas" so there was a girl who said i
could never get her phone cause she had no banner or greeting message.
so i wrote it on my hand, took a picture of it, and set it as her
wallpaper. sneaky me

just got back from the midnight showing of...

CHRONICLES OF NARNIA:
THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE


I
think this could very well be the best movie i have ever seen. it is
amazing. it reminded me of hitchcock in the fact that you could take
any frame of the movie and it would be like a wonderfully composed
picture. The story is great, it stuck pretty close to the book. a few
things were a little different but nothing major. Its a great movie, i
recommend that you all go see it. i paid 10 dollars cause we saw it at
a big screen, it was great, it was definately worth it. there has never
been a movie i have seen twice in the theatres when it was new, i think
i will for this one. if anyone wants to see it together once i am home
i just might take you up on it.
5 out of 5 stars. maybe even 6 stars

whenever this comes out on dvd i am buying. no questions asked

go see it its great.
read it too.

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

yesterday we went to natalies coffee shop, her parents own it. it was

over friday saturday and suday. season 4 comes out on tuesday and
brandon is buying it and we are watching that next saturday. marathon

all in color so i used 162 pages worth. only  few left now.

Why an Apple?

point in our lives we have all seen a visual portrayal of the story of Adam,
Eve, and the Fruit. When we picture this story what does the fruit look like -
an apple. Why does everyone depict the fruit as an apple? Are there hints in
the bible that link it to a specific fruit?
            When
approaching this topic, first we need to see what the Bible has to say. Genesis
3 tells us of “the fall of man.” When we first read of the forbidden fruit in
verse 2, we learn that the fruit grows on trees, specifically the tree in the
middle of the garden. I don’t know what type of tree that was. The fact that
the tree is in the middle does not help specify what fruit the fruit was.
However, the fact that it is on a tree does narrow the possibilities. Now we
have eliminated things that grow on a bush or a vine, such as berries, grapes,
and watermelons.
            Verse 6
says that the fruit is “good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also
desirable for gaining wisdom.” So we know the fruit was good looking. I have
seen some ugly fruit, smashed bananas and that sort of thing, but I have never
thought of a particular kind of fruit being unsightly. You will never hear me
say “I don’t eat oranges because they are hideous.” Perhaps the fact that it is
“desirable for gaining wisdom” can narrow our search. Every time you see an
infomercial for a juicer they talk about the positive effects that fruits can
have on your mental astuteness.
            The main
way I know fruit affects brain activity is the antioxidants. Antioxidants make
the brain run more efficiently. Perhaps the fruit in Genesis was high in
antioxidants. According to www.newstarget.com the fruits highest in
antioxidants are blueberries and blackberries. They however are not on a tree.
The highest antioxidant level (per serving) in a fruit that is on a tree is a
Red Delicious apple, followed closely by a Granny Smith apple. Perhaps the pictures
we always see of Eve holding a shiny red apple have some scientific basis. Then
again some of the images are paintings going back to the period of the
renaissance. I don’t think they had knowledge of antioxidants and their
benefits back then, even if they did I doubt they had the ability to measure
them.
            After all
of this thinking on why the apple is how the fruit is pictured I can only think
of one reason. It’s the same reason I draw people from behind and not the
front. It’s easier. I can’t draw faces well, but I sure can draw the back of
someone’s head, so that’s what I do. My theory is that whoever made the first
famous depiction of the fruit was great at drawing apples, maybe even awful at
drawing bananas. Everyone after that kept the tradition and kept Eve holding an
apple.




thats it. it had to be 300-500 words. i think it is exactly 500... i had to cut it down from like 534 or something...

well so jonathan is married now. so i have a sister-in-law. sort of.
being that he is not really a brother i am not sure if she is really a
sister-in-law, but for all intents and purposes she is i guess.

wednesday we went out and got my suit and then to bakers square with grandma.

thursday was the rehersal and rehersal dinner. i didn't have to go to
the rehersal cause i was not in it so just the dinner for me. it was
pretty good. not as much food as i would like though. and most people
there were not people i knew. some i did know. got to see some old camp
people, AA and dave turner.

left the dinner and came to play some IM basketball. i am on the
caucasian invasion team. it was our 4th game. first time i played
because of my finger and i only played a little bit but... we lost
48-45 but that is the closest game we have ever had and the most points
we have ever gotten so we did pretty good. our record is 0-4 but we are
the team that has the most fun and has the most fans. so i think we
should win because of that.

friday was the wedding. pictures started at 5:15 so i had to get ready
before that, the do that. then mom wouldn't let me eat as to make it so
i can't spill on my suit. then the wedding thing went down. thats the
closest i have ever sat for a wedding.
reception afterwards. got to see some more people i knew. phil brown says i am his favorite. good stuff.

hors d'oeuvres we alright but i wanted more but i had to wait till
everyone else went through. i thinki ended up going throught the line 4
times or something like that. helped load all the presents into a van
after they left, that was a lot of presents. maybe i should get married
then i will get stuff.... maybe i will wait. but if you want to give me
stuff you can.

saturday and sunday did the normal weekend things. lazing around,
church, hanging out, you know. today i have a test in OT and then
tomorrow i have class and then i come home for turkey.

thats the big news of the last days of recent.

well i haven't updated in a while but didn't really want to writing
anything and move that last post down but now i suppse i should

i am sick

i have a really bad sore throat, its not good

went to david crowder, shane and shane, and ronnie seay concert last
night here at NWC. its so fun having concerts here. the lights etc was
not as huge as the jeremy camp concert was,. only 16 motion lights was
all for ronnie seay and shane and shane, then added 6 mini cannons for
crowder so shine on band and DC. it was good. the only thing that would
have made it better was if i was not horribly sick

i would have gone to bed early last night but then i had a test today,
the study session was last night so then i had to get the answers from
that and study for a little bit. not to long. i could have studied more
last night but i thought sleeping would be a better investment. went to
bed at 1

woke up today at 9:15 showered. went to chapel early and studied there
before it started. then listened in chapel. studied more right before
test. took the test. was done in 17 minutes. i think that is the
longest i have taken on western civ test yet. 50 multiple choice 30
matching 5 short answer.

then i ate lunch, didn't eat much because i am sick. its no good.blah

tonight i am going to get my suit. got a new suit saturday like a new
new suit. not from a thrift store or anything like normal. its really
nice. i get free alterations for life and free pressing for life. its a
good deal. they altered it and everything. picking it up and making
sure it fits tonight. its for jonothans wedding on friday, thursday is
the rehersal dinner. so that is taking up the rest of my nights for the
week.

ANSWER:no
really got close, but no one really got close to par either. i got 54.
joe was closest with 31 but that is still a ways off so joe gets 10
points.

QUESTION: what did the suit
salesman guy say i should get to help my suit stay good? (it cost ten
dollars for the one he was selling) it is an item that is an expensive
version of something you all should have in your house.

"these are the guys that run the freaking olympics... we are not going to out run them"

let me think what were the major events of yesterday....

class, then food then played some games. then... oh yeah supper. after
went to the ocho and watch josh play some "in the shadow of the
colussus" or something like that its a sweet game. later came back to
knutson to play hall mini golf. that was fun each hall (there are 8)
made a hole and there was one in the stairwell. it was really great
fun. my strategy was to just hit it as hard as i can. it worked pretty
good. i used the back half of the club sometimes, i think that worked
better. it was great

other than that not much was going on. we watched one episode of 24.

not to much yesterday other than mini golf. it was a good time but not much to write about.

so far today was class. took a quiz. then ate dinner. it was good turkey and mashed potatoes. yummy.

have some things planned for later tonight but i will fill you in on those once they actually happen.

ANSWER:risk, darn stinkin right sam. ryan ben sam and other fm peeps a risk game may just be in order over thanksgiving break. sam 100 points.

QUESTION: what was my score in mini golf (par was 31)?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well its wednesday meaning i have western civ and OT today. monday
after western civ billington asked me not to crochet in class anymore
so i am not doing that now. but he does know who i am (he knew before
he asked me not to crochet)

billington is a pretty cool guy. his ancestor, john billington, was on
the mayflower. then he tried to blow up the mayflower.... then later
when someone came to collect some money from him, john shot him in the
face. he was then hung for murder. the first person hung in the "new
world"

anyways. yesterday i accidentally slept untill 1:45. missing both my
classes and chapel. i was supposed to help in chapel announcements
too... JJ was going to ask if anyone knew what holidays it was today.
she planted a few of us in the audience to yell out some days. my day
was x ray discovery day. whoops i missed that.

yesterday for supper was taco tuesday. we don't have tacos every
tuesday but when we do have them it is on a tuesday. i like tacos. i
had 18 tacos, 5 desserts, an ice cream, and 8 pops. it was good. i was
going to have 20 tacos but the last two the shells were stale, the meat
you could tell had been in a warmer for a long time, and the cheese
tasted funny. it wasn't worth it to eat them.

i forgot about room inspections last night too... well it wasn't so
much that i forgot but that i didn't realize what time it was. i
realized after 11 (inspections are at 10) so i walked really quickly to
my room. looked for jerry (my ra) and found he was at IM basketball, so
i cleaned my room quick (but good) and when he came back i showed him
and he said it was ok. so thats a good thing.

so last night i finally got my roommates and neighbor caught up on 24.
they were three episodes behind. three episodes minus time for
commercials equals 2 hours. got them started at 12:24 so i cam back at
2:24 and said "one more, one more." they were planning on going to bed
but i knew that could not happen. so i work and convinced them (with
the help of evan) i was working on convincing them and josh goes out of
the room (to do laundry i think) and i am convincing  the rest to
watch "one more" then josh comes back in and says "ok, i'm in" and with
that i was able to convince the others. so we watched another "hour"
(actually 40 minutes)

great guy bonding time

thats all folks.

ANSWER:good stories, 50 points to all who answered

QUESTION: what board game do i feel like playing right now?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well i said i would be back to updating like normal but i haven't in a
while. i have been busy, not really busy but i have been doing a bunch
of stuff.

friday was class, i started crocheting in western civ. i used to
crochet in class i was gonna start earlier this year but then i broke
myself so that didn't happen.

i can't remember what i did on friday night but i know it was something fun.

saturday woke up at noon for waffles. hosted by the loco ocho. pay a
dollar get some waffles. i paid 2 dollars cause i ate alot of waffles.
its a good time of hanging out and such.

wandered the halls all day untill 7:15 and went to "four brothers"
after i got back some of us were hanging out and somepeople were
playing ultimate spoons in the stucen and the spoons were in the upper
level. so me and a few other guys placed some major obsticles in their
way. like we covered a door with a table. completely. it was pretty fun.

woke up this morning at went to BPEFC with alex. she ended up talking
with one of the youth leaders just about the whole time so i sat by
myself but it was alright. david myles (some of you salem people should
remember him) is one of the pastors there and he was doing half the
message. he used the word "chillaxin" it was funny. he had to explain it

came back and did nothing all day. i have work to do before tuesday. i
don't wan't to do it tonight but i don't want to do it all tomorrow. so
if nothing is going on tonight i am going to do it tonight but if there
is anything fun then i will do it tomorrow. we will have to see.

i think its really funny when people guess who i like and are
completely wrong. and don't beleive me when i tell them no. it makes me
laugh.

ok so i was referred to on raechels xanga and there was an allusion to my most embaressing story. here it is....


MY MOST EMBARESSING MOMENT
(AND SOME MORE STORY BEFORE IT)


it was last summer. camp had gotten done for the summer on friday.
everyone left to go home, except for sam, joe goetz, and i. we spent
the night at the residence of hannah kossow in cooperstown. the night
was full of many things that are now fond memories, the first was right
when we got there. bonnie doesn't like the word "freakin" so were were
going to try not use it the whole time we were there. that would have
been a feat cause we used that word a whole freakin lot over the
summer. so the car ride there we said it a lot to try get it out of our
system. we walk in and bonnie says "where are you bags?" sam right away
says "awww, i left them in the freakin car!" first sentence out of his
mouth, another one of which was
bonnie making hannah joe and i go get some pop while she talked to sam
(background for those of you who might not know, bonnie is hannah's
mom, sam was dating hannah at the time) we took an extra long time
getting our pops and came back about 20 minutes later and bonnie was
still talking with sam. i thought it was funny, he probably didn't.

anywho

the next morning (it was more like noon i think) we all headed to
fargo. bonnie, hannah, sam, joe, and i were to meet up with becky and
kevin benedict (hannah's sister and brother in law who all of us boys
had met over the summer and become friends with) once we were in town
the girls wanted to go shopping and the boys wanted to go to THE BOURNE
SUPREMACY, since joe's flight back to his home wisconson left in the
middle of the movie he went shopping with the girls and kevin, sam, and
i went to the movie.

after the movie we were all supposed to gather again (minus joe) and
eat some food. we went to t.g.i.fridays and found out hannah would not
be there because she went off to ride horses. so the order of us around
the table was bonnie, becky, kevin, sam and then me. since we had just
gotten back from camp and the banks were closed because it was a
saturday i had no cash, sam however had a check card, so he was going
to pay for me and i would pay him back. when the waitress (i think her
name was sarah or something) came around for drink orders most of us
got pop or water, kevin got a glass of wine. (he commonly drinks wine
but just a glass, its good for you they say.) well when sarah (i am
just going to pretend that is the waitresses name even if it isn't)
came with our drinks she brought 5 straws for 5 people. bonnie said
"kevin, don't you dare use that straw for your wine." kevin, as you
would expect from him if you knew him, grabbed the straw, blew the
wrapper off and started drinking his wine through it. later he even
blew bubbles in his wine. man is that guy fun.

when the waitress came to take our food order she started at bonnie and
worked her way around so i would be last. sam is ordering and orders
the chicken finger basket. blah blah side orders and junk. then says
"oh by the way...we're together" and points back and forth between him
and i. right away i think "oh no, what do i say now?" i sit there with
my head in my hands not knowing what to do. the other three occupants
of the table are laughing, kevin is laughing all out, becky is laughing
pretty good, bonnie is trying to holf it in but failing. i sit there
for what seemed like forever untill the waitress pats me on the
shoulder and says "don't worry we get it all the time..." and i again
think "nooooooo....."

it didn't help that i also ordered the chicken finger basket.

QUESTION: what live concert dvd am i listening to/watching right now?





In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


let me just start this off by saying i am in evangelism and missions
right now. don't worry i am still paying attention... sort of (oh and
for all of you that missed them i am sure the typos are back)

wow... so i got taht paper done last night then went to bed.

woke up this morn late for FYI... you know that class that i missed
last week and can only miss once otherwise i fail and have to take it
agian... yeah that one... but luckily it was just workshops for the
first half. so i missed that but made it to the classroom portion.
close one.

did a scan and scram for chapel.... ok not really i scanned and went to
a meeting that is worth chapel credit so its fine... the meeting was
for getting involved with THE GATHERING. i am going to be helping out
with sound/computer/lights... they use two screens, i talked with the
lead guy for a little bit. he says its to hard for one person to run
two screens at the same time. i think i can do it. last year i ran
sound and lights and computer all at the same time so just two screens
shouldn't be too bad.

the goal for the gathering is to be a media driven worship thing is
what i have been wanting to get involved in so this should be good.
there has only been one so far so i am getting in on the ground floor.
hope it works out good.... meeting with the leader guy about media
stuff friday before chapel

then i ate with alex, i was going to teach her how to use photoshop.

food and left with a cup of ice cream and a cup of soup. got to class
with both cups and 1 minute to spare before it started. ate my soup and
dessert then started this.... i am already bored and i have like 2:45
left of this class.... its a good class its just long.

i got a package from superchick today since i am on the street team.

(the big rubberband kind) and posters.

ANSWER: don't know if i will name my computer one of those but  i might . everyone who gave a suggestion gets 100 points.

New entry coming at you like a pack of gorillas, (complete
with word that have no spelling errors. Just for karin)






Last night went over to the ocho. (for those of you who
don't know, the ocho is quad 8 in Moyer. a.k.a. the balcony room a.k.a. lots of
other stuff) and hung out, played some video games met some new people. A girl
wanted to play some fighting game on gamecube but no one else wanted to play so
I played her. I had never played the game before; I had also never played
gamecube before. She didn't even give me time to learn what buttons did. She
beat me for a few games but then I got to be able to beat her, and the guy that
owns the game. That was all in under an hour or so. Man I am a nerd.






After that we all went to a movie, the ocho all went and the
friends of the ocho (another guy and I, we are there a lot and people think we
live there) most of quads 10 and 11 met up with some other people there too. We
ended up taking up about two whole rows at the theatre. We saw the island it
was pretty good. There were some parts where things in it would never happen
but hey it’s a movie.

"Hey you two... watch your proximity."

Today woke up (actually) and went to Brooklyn Park
(Kent's
old church) with Jenn. Then we went to watch the Vikings game with Kent and
some Brooklyn Park
people.

After that Alex took me to the mall to get flip flops. I like have a girl when I
go to the mall because she knew what stores would have things and all that good
stuff. I don't know any of that. Thanks Alex. We ended up not getting any because
all the stores had none. I need to get some soon mine break every 5 steps or so
now.

I want to drive Alex’s rav4. Not so much because it’s a rav4 but more cause it
has a suicide knob. She gets one because she has hand controls since she is in
a wheel chair. I want a suicide knob. They are fun.

After that Alex Steve and Marc and I went to BK for supper. I like food.

At vespers tonight 4 girls are walking by me and the first says “Kvamus” the
second says “Kvamito” the third says “Tommy Kvamme” and the last girl says “wow
you have to coolest name ever”








The elevators are still not working... I have carried Alex up
or down the stairs like 7 or 8 times so far today. Good thing she is so light,
not as big as me.

If anyone still has flip flops in their stores they should
tell me.






ANSWER: Raechel got it. See above if you didn’t read it.

should be the name of my computer?

[this got long so for all of you out
there who only sort of like me and don't read the whole thing i bolded
some of the main points]



well so here is the big thing.

wednesday night there was a huge storm... like huge. tornadoes touched
down and stuff. power went out at 7 wednesday night and was out untill
6 friday night
. it is still "out" but NWC brought in generators and
like so we have power now but can't use our AC or ovens or anything
like that.

crazy thing is wednesday afternoon at like 3 it randomly pops into me
head "you know... i don't have a flashlight... hmmm... oh well" then
that night no power for over 47 hours

the storm was lots of fun. we ran out in the rain and trees were
falling down all around us
. it was crazy. then we came in and had to
sit in the hall way cause the tornado sirens were going off. it was
pretty fun. sang sorship songs most of the time.


no classes thursday or friday.
that made it pretty fun. haing no power
isn;t to bad except some times it got a little boring but overall it
was great fun.

thursday i hung out with alex and steve we went to coldstone i had a
"gotta have it" of banaba and cookie dough icecream with strawberrys in
it. a great choice. and then i have to finish off most of alex's "love
it" size cause it was to much for her. then we came back and one of our
sister halls was going to make us supper but since there was no power
they made us pb+j. good stuff. then i heard of a birthday party going
on down at the island. i asked who it was for they said it was for
laura. i said "i know a laura" so i grabbed a present from my goodie
bag and went down to that. it was fun. burgers and food and games. kent
came down and pulled the good old "i am going to have to shut this
party down"
everyone was sort of scared i think cause they didn't know
who he was. but i did so it was funny. he brought my bible. after he
left we read some bible and it was really cool. then we played catch
with live coals.


yesterday i woke up about 12:30. got 11 hours of sleep. hung out in
moyer for a while did some coloring. at 3 played rugby (i played
barefoot) (my feet got steped on alot) and then played ulitmate. man
were my legs sore after both of those. at some food. then played
raechel in ping pong. power came on then (well the generators did)
first thing i did after the power was on was, ready for this... poop
with the lights on.
... it made me feel so high class. i mean lights in
the bathroom what a luxery.

hung out across the hall with some guys then went to another bonfire.
after the fire came to moyer again ate some pizza and watched MAN ON
FIRE. good flick. hung out with nate and colin in the student center.
colored a picture of spider man from my coloring book. its a good
picture but spiderman is really showing off his butt. so i put a note
on the bottom "girls: do not let spidermans butt cause you to stumble!"

woke up today at 12:30. apparently raechel called me earlier (9:30ish)
and tried to wake me up because the langofrd sr class (and some) trip
was in town and had two extra tickets to chanhassen and we could have
gone but i did't wake up. according to her once i picked up the phone
and hung it up again right away but i don't remember any of this. so if
i truely did it raechel i am sorry for hanging up on you. if i didn't
then i guess i am sorry someone else did.

played dave in some pingpong i am working on my back handed serve with
spin. if i get super spin on it it goes off the table so i have to
tweek it a little.

now we are over in the mel j center useing the internet cause its not up in the dorms or anywhere else on campus yet.

thats about all the news in this neck of the woods. have a great weekend everyone

ANSWER:helped with bio. no points


QUESTION:what am i doing tomorrow after church?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

class tonight was not that bad. long and hot but not as bad as it could be

afterwards i was helping maddie with a class i am not in. anyways her
friend/roommate come up and says "so... tell me about your secret love
for maddie" it was some sort of inside joke i guess but i decided to
play along and started saying

"well it all started before we even really met and matt would yell out
your name so i knew who you were but you had no clue i existed. then
one day you were sitting on that couch over there (and i pointed to a
couch) and you were sitting in the middle and matt was on the other
side and dan was in that chair but the other side of the couch was open
so i came over pretending it was to talk to matt but really it was to
meet you...."

and i made up this whole big story and all of the details were true
except for the parts about me liking her. like we really did meet on
the couch i pointed out etc.

so after i made up this big story her nad her roommate are just sort of
giving me this almost blank look. her roommate says "are you joking" in
a tone that would let you know she had no idea if i was or wasn't but
was leaning toward wasn't....

i toyed with the idea of keeping it going more but i didn't. i said
":yeah i am joking. if i tell i girl i have a crush on her i hope to do
it in a way better than that."

thats my story for the night. i am going to go to bed cause i am
getting up at 6:30 for see you at the pole. and i told my RA to get me
up so i can't not get up. even if i locked the door he has a key

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme
the variety show went really good, hosting went well considering that
we didn't plan anything... nothing at all. some people don't know that
we didn't plan, obviously they don't know peter or i that well.

the surprise was that a guy played a song that he wrote for his
girlfriend and then proposed. the song was wonderful. every girl
melted. i think if his girlfriend would have said no lots of other
girls would have gladly said yes right there

so after that i had to go up and say something... what do you say after
that? si i told the audience what i heard someone else say backsatge

"i am really jealous right now
i wish i had half the talent
half the looks....
or even a girl"

while of hanging out in there i wanted to go to bed but i didn't wnat
to move so i stayed there. then finally everyone else went to bed so i
did to at 7. the sun was coming up....

i came in my room and was being quiet and everything to not wake up the
mates and then after being quiet for i while i realized neither of them
were here... so just cause i could i turned on all the lights and was
loud for a little bit. then i went to bed.

today jeff woke me up at the stinking crack of noon. i needed to paint
some more shirts for people to wear at the football game. we won 66-0
way to go eagles.

hung out with raechel some today. we tried playing tennis with her roommates but it was already dark so it was tough
