ok so crazy story from this morning... i am working now... i was
supposed to start at 8...however i overslept. thats not the crazy part.

first thing i remember from this morning is oversleeping... so i got up and started my day.
but that was a dream about oversleeping so i was actually still oversleeping. so i got up again.
alas that was another dream about me oversleeping. i had to get up a third time.
the third time was finally for real. unless of course i am still dreaming now but i don't think so

thats my story for today... not to much has happened today so far other than that

fire drill in 2 minutes. donesn't really make sense to me to have a
fire drill at 9am during finals week but hey what do i know.
there is another one this afternoon sometime.

Answer: 7
Question: how late was i?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme



well i worked 4-8 this morning. i forgot untill like 1 or 1:30 so that
was too late to go to bed so i have been up for quite a while now...
but i have to say working alone is way more fun now that i have found
darkwing duck episodes on the internet. what an amazing thing. how do
you think the internet should be governed? should it be like the moon?
how so?

well i didn't make it to staff reunion this year. that kind of stinks.
but i think i might be able to come for family camp so you should all
be there.

its time for bed now gotta go

Answer: they
changed seats so they could sit with jonathan and glenda... so i have

Question: the one from above. about the internet. oh and lots of points to whoever can draw the best picture of the internet

sad news but good news

some of you may have heard this already but i really doubt it because i just decided this for sure last night.



i am not going to be coming back to northwestern for the spring semester.



its not because i don't like it here or don't like the people here or
anything like that. i want to make that clear. it sure would have made
me decision easier to make if i did hate it here or if there was a
person i can't stand. but i don't and there isn't. northwestern is a
place i love full of people i love.



i am going to miss everyone here. its going to be so wierd not seeing everyone everyday.



i know that this choice of mine might not be the happiest choice but i know it is the right choice.



if i don't get a chance to tell you in person that i am leaving i am sorry.



the plans as of now are that i am going to come back in the fall. but
hey who knows... the plans two weeks ago had nothing about me not being
here. i wish i just knew the whole plan right now. it would make life
so much easier.



but alas God has given me "a lamp for unto my feet" not a 6million
candle power spotlight to shine down the road and see whats way ahead
of me.



thank you all for everything we have been through/done together in my time here. it's been wonderful



In God's Hands,

thomas kvamme

well aren't you proud of me. 3 entries in 3 days (ok so really its 4
days but right now still counts as thursday for me cause i am working
and haven't gone to bed yet.)

well i am not dead yet from christmas at northwestern practice

today i tried just having my drugs before and not taking any at all
during our run through since that is what i will have to do tomorrow
anyway. it was going really well untill the second to last song (not
counting our closing song) when i just died. i had to cough really loud
(and i am in the front to so i can't hide) then i couldn;t sing really
well. sang even worse for our last song. then came the closing song.
its tradition for christmas at northwestern that the last song is
silent night and all the choirs go out and surround the auditorium with
candles in hand and all the other lights are off and we sing silent
night. its really nice... well i got about 5 words out the whole
song... so tomorrow i am going to hope i can make it the whole way. but
also i am going to have my drugs back where we pick up the candle so i
can take a swig before i go out. hopefully it all works out.

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme



i am in love... with tylenol sore throat releif.

its the best thing in the world. we had choir practice from 4:40 untill
10 today (minus a break for supper) and i would have died except for
the wonders of TSTR. it is amazing. it works good and tastes good to.
beleive me. i was drinking it right out of the bottle. it said to take
2 tbls every 4 hours and no more that 8 tbls every 24 hours taking to
much could cause liver damage... well in the not even six hours of
rehersal i drank not quite half the bottle so thats about 7.5 tbls. its
under 8 so i should be fine. but this stuff is amazing. i am in love.

it made my day so much better.

so did fooseball. played for the first time this year i think. its fun.
one guy i played was like "he just shoots really hard he doesn't really
aim" what he doesn't realize is that shooting hard and aiming are not
mutually exclusive goals. he got beat it was a good game. he said he
would get 10 before i would get five.... showed him... it was fun

anyway off to bed now.

Answer: 100 points to andy gann. good job
Question: what flavor is my tylenol stuff... here's a hint -  its blue

In God's Hands,

well this week is going to be super busy. normal school stuff plus everything for christmas at northwestern.

that means at least 3 hours of practice a day not counting our normal practice times. the performances friday saturday and sunday. all while i still have a really sore throat. not that fun. but really fun at the same time.

i really want my sore throat to go away but its not doing what i ask. dumb throat

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well its been a week and its almost thanksgiving.

i am heading home today, my brother and i both get done with work at noon so as soon as he gets over here we are gone.

i am pretty tired right now. i guess staying up all night will do that
to you. i worked 3-6 and then 8-12 today.... i took about an hour nap
between them but thats not to much

a bunch of us went over to tianna's house last night for a movie. good time. just not very good for sleeping.

i can't really think right now. my brain is not working.

anyway i will be home today through probably sunday.

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well i haven't updated in just over 3 weeks i think. i was going to update a while ago. but i never really did...
everytime i work i think "oh i am going to update while i work cause i
have three hours of time where all i have to do is sit" (and do rounds
twice.. meh) then somehow i waste all my time playing
addictinggames.com or something like that. well normally i guess i am
not on the computer that much when haley is here. talk to her most of
the time. the krysta comes in and i use the computer more. nothing
against her but she does more work while she is here. but each time we
work together we learn something from one another. i usually teach her
some random thing that comes up some how (once i taught her about
curling) and she teaches me something she is student teaching. (i know
so much about worms) they are the two i normally work with. for my
thursday night shifts. weekends its lots of different people. well not
really. usually its haley still and anna but then the first weekend of
every month is pretty random.
tonight i worked with angie and now joby is here. going good so far

well lets see what has gone on this month.

well this was last month but ...

champions-
the postal
service are now the northwestern college intermural flagfootball
champions. we smoked everyone. ok so really the first game we one for
real was the semi championship game. all our other wins up to that
point were officially forfeits but we'll take it. we beat the teams
that forfeit to us anyway (they forfeit for not having a girl or enough
players or something so we would just play for fun) but can you say
"superbowl champion" cause i sure can

trick-or-treating-
went for the second time ever. for a
halloween party i was the scary guy a cape telling scary stories at the
fire. the next party i was an army man in my bdus and with my airsoft
m16. for real trick-or-treating i started as the city of jericho. i was
a cardboard box and we acted out the israelites going around seven
times and then i fell over... the houses we didn't do the skit just
thought i was a chump in a box. when over half the israelites left i
trade one of them the box for their sheet so i was an israelite instead
of jericho since we couldn't so the skit anymore. so i was 4 costumes
for halloween this year, man i am such a pagan

ok now this is this month...

remember, remember the fifth of november

gunpowder treason and plot

i see no reason this gunpowder treason

should ever be forgot- a long
while (like 2 months or more maybe) ago my best group of friends here
("los quatros amigos" they call us (yes we know it should be quatro not
quartos but i sound so much better)) watch the movie v for vendetta and
three of us really liked it and the other (my ra) didn't. then
something came to my mind a few days after our watching of the movie i
thought "our hall has a british theme (cityscape on one side with big
pictures of big ben, castle, eye of london,  other side has two
union jacks and two beefeaters) we should v for vendetta the hall."
then the next day i thought" we should wait till the fifth of
november" so we kept our plans secret for a few months then i
designed all the artwork for the "new decorations" spraypainted them on
clear contact paper. at about 11:50pm on the fourth we went to work. we
put a silhouette of v and the "v circle" over the union jacks a stencil
of the future guards over the beefeaters and little explosions all over
the cityscape. all with jerry (my ra) in his room unaware. then at
midnight of the fifth we played the 1812 overture really loud in the
hall and the three of us stood at the end of the hall with our v masks
on and "conducted the orchestra" it was a great prank.

sing all day, but get to see monks-
there was a mens chorus/womens chorale festival thing at st johns. so
groups that don't have both men and women. just one or the other. there
were little concerts all day with like three groups singing in each and
then was one big concert at the end that started with like 450 guys
singing and then 450 girls singing and then 900 of all of us singing
one last song. it was amazing. the concert were all fun. the rehearsing
all day long was not as fun. there was a different director for every
song. i didn;t like any of them as much as i like mr sawyer (our
director) (did you know he has a grammy) but overall the day was fun.
they had strawberry softserve at dinner and st johns has a monastery so
we saw some monks. like real monks in the robes a stuff. i saw two. it
was exciting. and the abbey was pretty sweet two. like a 7 second
reverb in there. and the architecture was great too.


sing and then eat- last friday
had another concert for mens chorus, we were followed by the womens
chorale and then the orchestra. we did good. we are really solid this
year.  the women did great. the orchestra well... they were good
but it was long and (this sounds dumb but) singing is kind of tiring. so
i fell asleep for part of their stuff. they had one long song then
another long song the one three part overture song thingy i remember it
going into the second part then when i thought it was going into the
third part they started leaving. i asked the guy sitting next to me if
i was sleeping... apparently i was... really hard
but then a bunch of the men from men's chorus and women from womens
nchorale went out to applebees. like 40 of us. it was a pretty good
time. kind of creepy cause andrew carey and i kept saying the same
thing at the same time or one of us would say "i was just about to say
that" i started saying things that weren't the first thing i though of
everyonce in a while just so we would say the same thing all the time
and then he did it everyonce in a while too a few times even our second
thoughts were the same... creepy


need money please- i
guess that i accidentally overdrew on my check card a few times... that
really stinks. especially with a 26 dollar charge each time. it stinks
not having a bank here that i can deposit money into. not that i earn
that much in the first place. so if anyone of you out there want to
donate to the "thomas makes me smile so i want to give him money fund"
you sure can. i won't mind... but you sure don't have to

xbox stinks- so i play halo in
my neighbors room now and again. lately the xbox has been having some
trouble turning itself on. it will make all the turn on noises but
nothing will come up. you have to hit the button over and over turning
it on and off untill it finally works... it used to be like 4 times
and it would work. now its getting worse. today i tried total
throughout the day about an hour and a half or maybe two. laying on the
ground pushing the button over and over. (don;t worry i was talking
with people and listening to music too... not just being a bum who
wants to play halo)(and it wasn't all at once, spread out over like 4
times) so if any of you want to donate to the "thats really sad that he
would waste who hours pushing a button for nothing charity" and buy me
an xbox or something i would let you do that. i mean if you want.


its not even thanksgiving yet- so
what is with all this christmas music.... come one people. what is
wrong with waiting. if you want to play some thanksgiving carols that
fine by me but not christmas yet. you know the rules people. nothing
untill thanksgiving then nothing but for 3 days straight for that
christmas shopping weekend and then some christmas music some normal
music untill one week before then all christmas music again. thats the
rules now stick to them. or i will write you up

thats all for now. i think thats the big events of the last 3 weeks. i think

well i just got done working my last shift of the weekend (fall break)
all together i worked 28 1/4 hours this weekend. to put that in
perspective the last two week pay period i worked 19 1/4 hours, in 2
weeks versus 28 1/4 in a few days. needless to say i am kind of tired
now.

most of what i did over the weekend was sleep and work, but while i was
working i managed to make almost a whole scarf and watch a the whole
second season of west wing and the first of three disks of season three.

speaking of that... actually this has nothing really to do with anyof that. maybe a slight link to one thing but not really

i feel like i have OCD

let me explain:  two nights ago i got antiqued, for those of you
who haven't had the "joy" of expierencing that yet its when someone
sneaks into your room and throws a bunch of flour on your face as you
sleep. this is the secondtime this has happened to me, once last year
once now. anyway this time not only did they get it all over my face,
hair, shirt, and  bed like normal but it got all over my couch,
all over my computer, and all my stuff which was under my loft. really
like all my stuff. so i spent an hour and a half yesterday cleaning up.
vacuuming everything that i own. i felt like i should just be rocking
back and forth saying "its not clean, nothing is clean, must make it
clean." but i didn't

well so we moved into our new house thursday. kind of exciting, kind of
wierd. this house has the most light switches for things in different
rooms i have ever seen. i still have no idea what some of the
lightswitches do. or where anything is in the kitchen, doesn't help
that mom keeps moving the silverware.

i got a sweet notebook today, its one of those compostion notebooks,
but the top half is graph paper and the bottom half is normal paper.
its nice
i also got a "flexible composition notebook" its got not as hard a
cover. my goal is to fold it over and carry it everywhere like those
nuts in conspiracy theory movies. have all their nots and scribbles in
thier folded over composition notebooks. yeah they are my heros

so this new house is boring. no tv. no internet. no phone (ok so i
don't really like the phone but its nice to at least have one to say
"hey sam this movie is starting in 7 minutes wanna go?") none of my
stuff is here. its all over at the other place cause i don't want to
move here what i am going to take to nwc in days.

well thats about all for this issue

well, in the past two days i have been tow bestbuy 3 times (ok in all
fairness the third time they were closed, stinkin closing at 9)

you wanna know the best part about that.... i haven't talked to a
single person who worked therein any of those three times... i like not
talking to bestbuy people.... i was investigating some purchases. will
go purchase these thing tomrrow probably.



so we are just about moved into our new house. we had to get new carpet
cause there were cats and my mom is alergic so that is just about
finished. moved lots of boxes and things... i think we are going to try
move our beds and things and actually move over there thursday.



we live on a lake.... in fargo.... its odd....



i guess we can fish on the lake without a liscense and noone else
(meaning people who don't live there) can't. and we can use kayaks
pddleboats or canoes or whatever we want (that has no gas motor) on
it....



so anyway about all this moving business... i have to get a new liscence for ND. what should i do for my picture.



that is my school id picture.... what should my liscense look like? let me know your ideas

Question: what am i going to buy at best buy tomorrow?



In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


i just finished watching "inside man" the 5th in my free netflix
marathon. its a really good movie. i sure liked the beginning scene. it
was probably the best first scene of a movie i have seen. atr least in
a long while



here is the opening dialogue



My name is Dalton Russell, pay strict attention to what I say because I
choose my words carefully and never repeat myself. I told you my name,
that's the Who. The Where can most readily be described as a prison
cell. But there is a vast difference from being stuck in a tiny cell
and being in prison. The What is easy, recently I planned and set in
motion events to execute the perfect bank robbery, that's also the
When. As for the Why, beyond the obvious financial motivation, it's
exceedingly simple... because I can. Which leaves us only with the How,
and therein, as the bard tells us, lies the rub.



thats it. it was pretty catchy. made me pay attention and sit still the whole movie. (ok not perfectly still but yeah)



so heres the idea that i came up with while watching the beginning,
what if you make a movie where the movie trailer is the first two
minutes of the movie. no clips from the biggest scenes of the movie, no
cutting from explosion to explosion. you just get the beginning of the
movie so perfect, thoughtful, intreguing, and grabbing that the first
two minutes of the movie is all you need to show someone to get them to
watch the whole thing. then keep the whole movie going just a good as
the first part. man that would be one great movie.

well camp is over for the summer. over all a good summer. learned alot

the last two weeks i was working as program staff... kind of the
assistant program director but lots of other stuff.... the last week i
was helping with a cabin, doing adventure program, teaching frisbee,
running games, making the staff directory (normally people work on it
for a few weeks i got it done in  3 days), helped a little in the
kitchen, did some other stuff too. i was pretty busy. from staff
meeting at 7:30 untill lights out at 11 i was working. but it was a
good learning experience.

here is my story from last week. i was getting ready sunday morning to
go to church. my shorts had a little rip on the side, about a half
inch, by the top back corner of the cargo pocket. i thought, man i will
have to sew that soon. later that day we were swinging at the park in
cooper. i ripped my pants really big across the bottom (like a foot and
a half long) and ripped the hole i already knew about to about 3
inches. so people kept talking to me about the rip in my shorts, i
didn't know about the rip in the back but knew about the one on the
side, which was not bad at all... so i kept being like "oh its not to
bad, i will sew it soon." but really there was a huge rip that was
kinda bad.

i finally figured it out later when i was talking to thomas, somehow i
just figured it out that i was unaware about this big rip. i felt more
stupid than embarrassed.

yeah so i am home now. chillin in fargo.

not to much going on.

Answer: i changed my major to youth ministry, 100 points to sam. and i guess to karl too...  close enough

brothers and sisters is a new show starting on abc... i have no idea
what it will be about but it has superchick playing the song on the
commercial... i think it is the theme song for the show... thats sweet

the show called the nine looks kinda sweet maybe

well so here is the news from camp...
first this week... then backing up and then going forward again.

this last week was sr hi. it was a really good week. lots of good
things learned by staff and campers alike. it was probably the most fun
i had counseling any week this summer. got to see people who i haven't
seen since last year.
we got cabin of the week. congratulations lebanon and caesarea. i know some of both of you read this so.
i got in the back of the tabernacle again and started running computer.
the first part of the summer i was not involved and jesse wsa doing it.
its nice to be back in the back.

now to the week before... i had 10 crazy campers in my cabin who all
knew each other and didn't know how to stop talking. they didn't know
how to listen either so i had to be strict. then one wrote a letter
home and said he wasn't having fun so his mom called camp and all the
kids talked and all the parents talked and some how they now think that
i am super mean and that i am the worst counselor ever. three of the
parents said that i should be fired and never work with kids again.
jody says he doesn't think there any reason for me to be fired because
every other camper i have had in 6 years like me but we have to think
about these parents... blah blah blah so i am working at the adventure
program for the last two weeks of the summer. fine by me. i get more
sleep and have more time off... its kind of dumb how it turned out but
anyway

so anyway now the next two weeks i am at the adventure program. i would
appreciate some letters before the summer is over. only two weeks left
for me to get them at camp.

well thats all i am going to write for now.

Answer: the water ballons we colored like grenades
Question: what did i change my major to?



In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


well camp has been going well... three weeks with campers down. this
last week was early bird. in my first 5 years of working at camp i have
never had a bed wetter or a puker and then monday night i had tow kids
wet the bed and one kid throw up... but he made it to the garbage can
so that wasn't too bad. then tuesday night i had someone wake me up at
10 (bedtime was 9:15) to go to the bathroom. a kid was crying afriad of
the dark at 12. kid with a bad nightmare at 2. and a kid throw up in
his bunk at 3:45. so i got to clean that up by flashlight. got back to
bed at 4:15. another kid woke me up at 6 and then i just stayed up
because i normally get up at 6:30 anyway. didn't get much sleep that
night.... wednesday night was the best only got woken up twice. they
went home on thursday

i took the weekend off. its family camp right now but i am in the
wonderful place called northwestern college right now. hanging out with
some wonderful people. i was going to go home thursday and then drive
here yesterday. so thursday i was like "i'll just leave when the fun
stops" cause i had nothing to do at home so why not hang out at camp
more. i called my parents a little before 5 saying "just ahve to pack a
few things and grab a bite to eat and then i'll be leaving. i ended up
not leaving untill 9:30 or so.... so i called them before i really
left. it was fun just sitting around talking and stuff.

anyway got here last night. and there is some group fundamentalist
christian association or something like that having a high school
retreat thing here this week staying in the dorms. so we went out with
water balloon launchers. it was pretty funny. one couple was sitting on
the lawn having what looke dlike a pretty serious DTR and so we went
around a corner and launched some balloons at the over be building.
eventually the kid came over and was like " are you guys having fun?"
us: "yeah"
kid: " you really get a kick out of this"
us: "uh huh"
kid: "well i don't care if you are having fun, why don't you just take your fun out into the woods"
me: "because there is nobody to shot at in the woods... duh"
kid: "shot at some squirrels or something"
ben: "its night you can't see squirrels when its dark out"

the kid said somemore stuff that i didn't really listen to... it was
really funny cause he was like a junior at the most and he was trying
to be all serious and tough and we were just laughing and laughing.

good times

well camp is going now. i am home for the weekend for fathers day. we
had a week of training and then this week was the first week of camp. i
had only six kids but i didn't get a co-counselor so it was kindof
tough for some parts when some of the suys wanted to do different
things and i can't go to both things with them.
but it ended up being alright. they listened less and less as the week
went on though... oh well. what are you going to do with 4-6
graders.... now for junior high this week. yay

i am teaching the frisbee sports skills class... basically 3 days of ultimate and one day of frolf.
lots of fun

well now i am just finishing up some laundry at home before i head back so this is all...

Question: what is a  hamroll?



In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


well we finished up moving. its a whole lot of work cleaning out a
whole house. you find out just exactly how much stuff you have.

sunday austen ryan and i went on a movie marathon. first we went to
west acres for  UNITED 93 at 4:35 that movie was 2 hours 1 minute
thus it would get done at 6:36. after that it was off to safari to see
V FOR VENDETA at 6:45. all three of us were driving our own cars and
driving fast and furious. ok not that furious but kinda fast to get
there in time... some fancy driving by all of us. and then when all
three of us pulled in to parking spots at the exact same time that was
kind of sweet.

afterwards we went to village in and had good food and a good time.
jena j was our waitress... i think we probably made her night way more
enjoyable. we are a very fun buch afterall.

then ryan and i went to cathryns and hug out sitting in her driveway
for a few hours . that was fun to see her again. while we were sitting
some guys walked by who were in my grade, didn't even recognize me at
first. wouldn't have minded if they didn;t at all. anyways

that was most of the excitement for my week. unless you find almost endless cleaning excite.

camp is saturday. its gonna be a good summer.

Question: what kind of pop have a been drinking lately?



In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


well so i have been working 40+ hours a week at a farm for ntwo weeks
now trying to earn some money before camp starts. in two weeks i am
going to make almost as much as i will make the whole summer at camp.
oh well, don't work at camp for the money.

working at the farm does allow for some benefits besides money... how
many people can say they have seen a peacock flirt with a chicken.

getting ready for next week, finishing moving out of the house and getting ready to leave for camp.  

playing frisbee is fun, i miss ultimate everyday.

i am thinking about maybe going to thunder road or thunder mountain or
what ever the gokart mini golf place is sometime before i go... anyone
want to go?


so xanga just told me that among lots of people who read this from
minnesota and north dakota there is a person from washington and a
person from california. so i am just wondering who that is.

Question: i got a new watch on tuesday. A) what color is it B) what makes this watch different from my last 10 or so watches?



In God's Hands,

our "new house" to be built.

Question: what is the most amazing story you have ever heard me tell?



In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


wow this last week has been lots of fun. kind of sad that i won't see
most of these people for 3 months and that some of them are graduating
and/or living off campus next year so there will be less of them around
her next year. but hey, that's why we are enjoying it now.

let's two weeks ago i guess... one acts were in the patsy miller studio
theatre. that used to be known just as the back box theatre but then
they named it this for some reason now its initials are the PMS
theatre... kind of funny when you think the first play in it was steel
magnolias.
anyway the one acts were good, good job everyone in them. the first
night it was really hot because the ac broke. man was it hot.

last tuesday i think it was... yep tuesday... i met someone new. its
exciting to think that i met someone new in the last week of normal
classes. i am glad i met her.

last tuesday i also had my interview to be a redshirt (night time dorm
security... i sit at desk from 3-6 and got on rounds twice... not to
hard) the interview included questions like:
have you seen diehard? yes
do you know who acted in diehard? bruce willis
who should have acted in diehard? (this one i was struggling if they
wanted me to say kieffer or churck norris until i saw a chuck norris
poster on the wall) chuck norris

if you could be any kind of rollercoaster what kind would you be?

what would you do if i threw this jar of salsa at you?

it was a pretty fun interview. kind of wierd. three guys asking me
questions with random silly ones interjected into the real ones.

i got the job.

wednesday was pretty boring except for one part. alex edwards came back
(he was here first semester) and we saw each other outside the dorms so
we ran and hugged but he jumped on me and wrapped his legs around when
we hugged. this was right outside the girls dorms so after the embrace
was over i said "man if i was in there (pointing to dorms) i would be
so confused right now" and then i head a voice from inside "i am
confused" it was really funny.

thursday night i "job shadowed" nate who is currently a redshirt. it
wasn't really job shadowing it was just hanging out. first since we
don't work till 3 (some weekend shifts are 12-3 but only 3-6 shifts on
weekdays) we first were going to hang out with haley but she wanted to
finish a movie she was watching so she did and then fell aslepp so we
didn't do anything with her. but nate and i went to the grocery store
and got snacks then sat on the castle. just sitting and talking telling
lots of stories. it was lots of fun.

we came back and went on rounds a little before 3 so that we could see
the beginging of conan. i couldn't go in the girls side cause i am not
really a redshirt yet so i just went outside for that part. first
rounds was uneventful. we came and watched conan but it was no good so
we just played chess, scrabble, fifteen, and we invented a new
something. you take a snack (preferably a wheat thin or a small cookie)
and put it in your cell phone. then when you answer you get a treat.
you answer your phone and say "helloh delecious" (a combination of
hello and oh delicious) it almost makes me want to use the phone....
almost

second rounds i was waiting outside the girls side for nate and i look
over and see the rock on fire. i look to trhe stair well for nate and
just kind of point over to the rock with a look on my face that says
"you should come do something cause i don't know what" its was really
sweet 15 feet flames. some people ran away when we started coming.
called security and told them it was on fire. took them 10 minutes to
get there.

friday was no classes so we had a good game of frisbee. we went and saw
16 blocks and then the moyer guys were going to have our cinco de ocho
party at ten. we saved all the gift certificates we won all year and
pooled them together for free stuff. but all the places wewere going to
get stuff from we closed at 10. stink.

saturday was ultimate frissbee tournament. our team got second. pretty
good considering that at least half of them ran 8 miles and came
staight from that to playing frisbee. and that jerry and i were the
only ones who normally  play. we lost by one point and we were in
the semifinal right befor the championship so we were playing two games
in a row we were kind of tired. if we had a break i bet we could have
one. oh well. we still did good.

yesterday was church and the i came back and took a nap. played
settlers. and had the cinco de ocho party. later that night had the
midnight breakfast. man is taht lots of free food. so good. i was
standing in line with haley (i kindof budged. she started talking to me
when i was going to the back of the line so i talked for a while and
then jsut stayed there.) but in line i had colors and she had paper so
she started writing things about nate (it startediwht nate has hairy
legs) and i would color them. nate was  few peole back so when we
were done we would hold it up so he could see. one was "nate is wearing
a green shirt" nate saw it before we were done so he and brain slipped
into the bathroom and changed shirts without us noticing. haley lifted
up the picture to show him and he had a red and black shirt on. it was
really funny.

thats all. today i have no finals so i slept in and have done nothing
yet. one final tomorrow two wednesday heading home thursday or friday.

Answer: i cut his hair
Question: where did i go to eat on saturday? (no answering josh)



In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme


ok here is a story about nate miller (from college not nate miller from high school...)


it is a retelling of the story he told me of a recent phone converstation he had....

someone called the ocho while he was there taking a survey the following is their conversation

Survey Guy: hi, i am working on a project from stats class. how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Nate: well are we talking weekday mornings or weekend mornings?
SG: uh, i don't know weekday mornings.
N: oh ok... monday, wednesday, friday or tuesday, thursday?
SG: either. does it really make a difference?

N:
it makes a big difference.
(getting slightly excited) monday, wednesday, friday i have an eight
o'clock class tuesday thursday i....
SG: (interrupting) ok fine, monday, wednesday, friday

N:
well first i have an eight
o'clock class but then i don't have class untill chapel, so i ususally
get ready then. so do i count before my class, or after, or both?
SG: i don't know, count whatever you want to count. how long does it take you to get ready for the day?

N:
ok... then about... 3 hours.
SG: what 3 hours? you can't count 3 hours?

N:
well you said i could count what ever i want, i figure chapel is getting ready for the day, you spiritually...
SG: (interuppting again) no just how long does it take you from when you get out of bed untill you leave your room.

N:
oh.well thats easy. 15 seconds.
SG: you can't say fifteen seconds... i'll just put you down for fifteen minutes

N:
what. there is no way it
takes me fifteen minutes. it's only like twenty feet. i could do that
for sure in fifteen seconds, maybe less.
SG: look if you don't give me a good answer i am just going to have to call someone else.

N:
(very sarcastically) oh no don't bug somebody else... please keep bugging me.

THE END

friday night a group of us went to the sentinal. it's a pretty good
movie. keifer's character is kind of a mix of jack bauer and sherlock
holmes. i really liked the movie, it had thinking in it aswell as
action.

saturday was the variety show. after that some of us went swimming.
jerry and i decided to see who would stay in longer. he was in for 40
mins i was in for 50 because i had to go around to the bridge because
nate, micah, and colin said so. i was walking around to the bridge and
the seaweed was so bad close to it. it was packed down from winter
still so it was almost solid but then your foot would sink through and
it would grab onto you up to your knees

after swimming we went to perkins. i was cold the whole time and i
think i smelled like lake really bad, but no one else said they could
smell it so thats good.

sunday i woke up to nate trying to put a sock in my mouth. he was just
starting and it was not in my mouth yet but hanging over my head. i
really was just kind of out of it and didn't know what it was. i
thought it was a raw chicken breast at first.

sunday night i had a strange dream

monday was a normal day. school and what not.

tuesday we had a choir concert at concordia academy high school. first
we sang for their chapel, then we had a choral exchange with both thier
choirs.
we had pizza when we came back to northwestern. then i napped untill
6:20, ate and the wen had our choir concert with womens choral, mens
chorus, and chamber singers. i think this was my favorite concert to
sing this year.

cleaned the room after that. hung out for a while. nate jerry and i
were supposed to meet with micah in his room at 11 and we were going to
play a game. well nate and micha never showed up but jerry and i did so
we just waited in micahs room for an hour watching stomp.

i am in art class now. it is so boring. i wish i didn't have to come.

Answer: see above. linn gets 100 points
Question: how many classes (class periods) do i have left this year? (not counting finals)

ok so this is long but its a good read. read it

well i was home untill sunday. saturday night i went into mexican
village at midnight and helped clean/paint/remodel. they called it
remodeling. i am not sure how much real remodeling was really being
done, i sw somw people taking out the lattice stuff between the boothes
but how much more they did i have no idea. i was working in the back we
painted the break room and pressure washed the floor back by the walk
in coolers and the fryers.... it was so disgusting. i have never seen
water so black before in my life.

anyways. so i worked 12-3:30 then came home and showered cause it was
gross... didn't get to bed till like 5. then for some reason we were in
the second row in church (no one in front of us) and i was struggling
to stay awake... ahhh.... oh

came back sunday. it was nice having a day off here to chill and have fun with people without classes.

tuesday at supper nate and i caught a mouse. we named him ice mountain
because he really likes powerade. nate was flipping a cup over to catch
him. when he tipped it some powerade dribbled out and then ice mountain
ran like a foot and a half at least maybe two feet over to under the
cup and started drinking the powerade that had spilled out. nate just
set the cup down.

the powerade made it was easier than we thought it would be. after he
was caught he was licking the powerade off the inside of the glass. he
liked it so much. later he got really hyper, i guess powerade works. he
also likes bread and cheese, he in no way likes corn. not at all.

wednesday i was walking to supper. (with sandals on and on the
sidewalk) when i step near this stick/twig on the ground. i guess 
stepped a little two close and it got stuck in my foot.at first i
didn't realize that it went in my foot i just thought it touched my
foot. i realized when i tried to step and this stick was stuck to my
foot hanging off. long story short we took it out. it was a two and a
half inch thorn that went an inch into the side of my foot. it didn't
hurt when it was in at all. it was a little wierd because i could
wiggle my big toe and the stick would move. it hurt taking it out and
it hurt so much that night i couldn't sleep and it hurt yesterday but
now it is pretty good. still hurts some when i move and what not but
its getting better.

i might put a picture up sometime so you can see what it looked like.
it didn't bleed at all with the stink in. so it just looks kind of like
i glued a stick to my foot. i am not sure why anyone would glue a stick
to their foot but hey. what do i care what you glue to your foot.

so later wednesday night i am telling nate about my expierence. and
show him my stick from my foot. turns out earlier he broke that branch
off a tree and was trying to hit drew with the thorn. then drew took
the stick and threw it on the path.
its all thier fault my foot hurt.

thats my interesting news for this week.

oh and i got that test back from the class i am not in but i took the test. i got an 87. pretty good i think.

well i came home yesterday. got burgertime. got M&H. thats when i knew i was home.


well our house is just about sold, move out by july 1st the house
getting built won't be built untill late aug or sept. my parents are
looking into renting a house/apt for the summer. my dad is pretty keen
on the idea of having an RV for the whole summer to live in. mom is not
so keen on it


played ultimate for a week straight (meaning every day for a week) then not
yesterday or today. i miss it. it sure is a good sport. maybe i can
teach ultimate as a skills class this summer. that would be one sweet
skills class.


well i think that is all i have to say right now... hope it was worth it


Answer:
basically olber's paradox says that because the universe is infinate
and there are infinately many stars then why is the night sky not
filled with light. basically its because some stars are so far away
that the light from them has not reached us yet. so eventually in
billions of years the whole night sky will be lit by stars.
just so you know i would have let you answer with looking it up... you
just wouldn't have gotten bonus points. no sam you do not get points,
yes you can hit me.

well this is the last entry from nashville. at least for a while at least... hopefully next year i'll be back again.


still not a great amount of free stuff. i almost won a 57 inch flat screen HD tv last night. it was a drawing and the guy had to go through 48 numbers untill he finally got on that somebody had. my number was like 2 away from being called twice. two higher and two lower... ahh. that would have been sweet to win.


some drawings later today and then we start the trek home.


thats about all for now


talk to you all soon


Answer: i got a gift acrd to starbucks... what good does that do me?
Question: what was my number for the drawing last night. here is a hint. it had the digits 2,3,4,8 in it. there are still 24 ways to arrange those... take your best shot.


In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well so nashville is going good. lots of sweet people here. lots of fun... not as much free stuff this year as last year. they really should work on that.


last night there was a sweet thunderstorm and i videotaped it from my 21 floor room. is crazy good looking.


thats about all i have for now...


Answer: if you read the entry you would know by now. i am going to give 25 points to caroline for being the only one even close to close... don't think this is going to be ahabit or anything. i know some of you (probably sam) right now are thinking "14 thats not close to 21" but the next closest answer was 5 thats 16 off. 14is only 7 off. thats less than half of how far off 5 is... so pretty good.
Question: one of the few free things i have gotten so far was a 3 dollar giftcertificate to where?


In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well here i am, comin to ya from the magnificent nashville public library.


really this is pretty magnificent. its the best public library i have ever been in. yeah...

wow so last night i was down in the eagles nest. jenilee said how the
fact that the juices were not in any order bugged her. then it bugged
me too. so we started rearranging them. first we did the juice. then
she had to get back to working. ross jumped into help. we then
organized the powerade, then the lemonade, then milk, then pop. now it
looks so nice here it is. it ended up that i was working on it for at least 2 hours.

it was a lot of work so check it out.

In God's Hands,

well i sid i would update more but really i just end up talking to real people when i am in the cafeteria for 4.5 hours a day.

the weekend was a good one. battle of the bands went down saturday.
that was good, but one of the moshers ripped my sweatshirt. stinkin
mosher. jenny decided she wanted to learn how to punch so i was
teaching her and she was punching my alot. the next day i had a big ol
bruise. bj was practicing how to mosh on my by  jumping into over
and over. that was fun, i switched off between seeing how little i
could move when she ran into me and how fan i could bounce her back. a
few time she tried to sneak up on me but i saw her coming.

sunday night some guys went for a walk...

the ice on lake johanna is thee feet thick. man is it hard to make a whole in it.

i gave blood yesterday for the blood drive. it was more ghetto than moorhead blood drives... odd

went for a walk last night too.

in the past week:
one girl has made me her confidant
one girl has a crush on me (that i know of)
one girl has said "quick lets interdigitate"
and one girl has ripped my shirt off


i think i am doin pretty good

Answer: i was in the cafeteria. or in naz (or nazareth) if you will... no points
Question: my sweatshirt and shirt are both from the same thing today. what are they from?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well its been a while huh.... i should be updating more now because i
have more free time in between classes where i will be hanging out on
the "academic side" of campus still cause i am too lazy to walk back to
the dorms inbetween.

last week was spring break.
i went home and found out we are moving.
moving to osgood in fargo. its out by the radio station so that will be good for dad.
mainly we jsut want a smaller house.
not counting the appartment in our basement we have 7 bedrooms and its just my parents.
so spring break was full of cleaning. man was that fun
we should be listing our house sometime this week.
we are building a house. we are trying to convince the rents to put in a sauna.

i ambushed sam during break. it was good.
i drove all around concordia untill i found his car.
i parked a few cars back
4 to be precise
and waited

eventually he came out. i drove up. windows down and unloaded airsoft on him

speaking of airsoft i am currently in the middle of a campaign to make
sirsoft legal at college. they say we can't have it because its law and
they are considered firearms... but actually they are not considered
firearms by law, nor are they banned from colleges.

working on that

what else is going on

i started a photo documentary of everything i eat.
i am going to turn it into a book called "All Gone"

its gonna be good.
here is a link to the beginnings of this project.

Answer:
emily was right it was my parents who came to visit me 100 points. but
she also answered in a mocking tone (that how i read it at least) so
minus 25 for her.
Question: where i am i right now (more specific than the academic side)?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

i would never ever be a setter for volleyball... middle blocker all the way
well its been a while....

here is a summary of my life i sent in an email yesterday...

broken thumb huh... i broke my finger(left ring) earlier this year
playing rugby. it was kind of bad i almost needed surgery on it. but it
was no fun because i could not play ultimate frisbee for like 2 monthes
and then it was snowing and what not. so i am looking forward for
spring to come back so i can play again. we play just about everyday
here.




school is going good i guess. my major is digital media
art with an animation emphasis. i am not sure if that is what it will
stay but i figure if i am going to take classes that i end up not
having as my major they might aswell be fun art ones. i am also
thinking about either math or maybe something to go into camping
ministry. not really sure yet.




besides school i am involved with
a once a month worship night that is called "the gathering" i am in
charge of running all the computer stuff. its pretty fun we have
multiple screens, some with videos that have images and videos that
match up with the words and what not. the other has the words and
simple videos in the background.




i am in IM basketball, we are
0-12 but we have the biggest fan section because we just have fun. we
do crazy plays like one we have called "fouth down" someone yells fouth
down and everyone else runs to the otherside of the court and the guy
punts the basketball. things like that. the tournament starts tonight -
some teams got eliminated because they forfeit to much during the
normal season. so we are already in the quarter finals playing the team
we got 45-48 against so we might make it to the semi's and they might
throw the game so we get to the championship. it would be really funny.




i
was in volleyball IM in the fall and now i am in volleyball class. i
thought it would just be a lot of fun but the teacher is the volleyball
coach is it is pretty intense. we have to learn all the diving and
rolling over and jumping back up. it it fun still. we are going to
start a IM for spring and our slogan will be "we took volleyball
class... that means we will own you"




well i think that about sums up my whole life.

well since yesterday when i wrote that was the last basketball
game for caucasian invasion. we lost. but i did get 6 points. that over
doubles my season total and brings it up to 10. it was a really fun
game. i got fouled. hit in the nose. but i made two free throws off of
it so its worth it.

i also realized that i am in way better shape now than at the begining
of IM basketball. the last half i played 13 minutes or so and i could
have played more. at the begining i could not have played that long. so
i guess thats a good thing

i shall try to write more but there is the fact that i only got three
comments on my last post... i think i need lots of comments this time.

Answer: i
needed my roommate to get sandals for me... in fact i still need him
to. i hvae just been going barefoot lately since my sandals are broken.
100 points to raechel
Question: who is coming to visit me on monday?

In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well i haven't been on to much lately... i have been on the internet
less in general... ok so i am on during class but not much of the other
time....

well you heard earlier about my skiiing adeventures... in the rain.
then in that same week i went swimming while it was snowing... yeah
thats right i went swimming out in the good ol lake johanna. we madea
hole in the ice. it was really sweet. so sweet in fact that i went 4
nights in a row. i would have gone 5 but no one else wanted to go the
fifth night so i wasn't going by myself.

so i started writing this like 2 hours ago then nate came in and
grabbed my chair, walked out with it pausing only breifly to say
"follow me if you want to see" so i put my lappy down and went to
follow... little did i know he went into jerrys room two doors down....
so i walked all the way down, couldn't find him. his room was locked...
finally i went into jerrys room cause i heard his voice as i walked
by... we played a game of settlers... it was a good game...

anyway what was i talking about... oh yeah. iceswimming... its lots of fun.

um school is going good... i had class at 9:15 mwf but i dropped it so
now if i miss my 8 oclock i can just go to the 9:15 new testament class
and it counts... now i know lots of you are thinking why not just
always go to the 9:15 and the answer is simple... cause then i would
never eat breakfast... and if i got the the 8 then have a break at 9:15
i will eat... and i like to eat... so i go to the 8 if i wake up and if
i feel like sleeping more i go to the 9:15 its a really good deal.

fargo/moorhead people my spring break is march 2-12 anything going on then?

thats all i have to say for now because i think i am going to try find something to eat.

have a wonderful day

Answer: i
dropped college comp. no one got it right but raechel did know there
was a girl in it who saved me a seat the day i dropped it... so 50
points to her.
Question: what of mine that is
currently being stored at my roommate tonys house (so its out of our
room but not all the way at my house) do i need him to get for me....
no answering josh.

so saturday was the ski trip to afton alps. i had been to afton alps
two years ago with salem, so i knew where all the cool runs are. it was
a pretty good day, it didn't look like it was going to be to great, it
was warm and rainy. but it was good. the snow stayed nice. the only
thing was we got really wet, but it was not to cold so it didn't matter
to much

towards the end of the night (like 8:30 or 9 or so) my skis started
going haywire... i was going off jumps and my left ski just fell off
when i was in mid air... that is not a recipe for success. then it
happened again. no one beleived me that my skis were just falling off.
they thought i was just falling. then later my right ski jeft fell off
while i was going down the hill. (i think i was turning to a stop) and
maggie and olga saw it. that me made me feel better. people beleive me
now. (courtney probably won't beleive me)

the day was by far a very fun day

sunday i was sore. my right bicep (from pushing when i was on the flat
parts) and my "right here" muscle in my legs hurts. thats what i call
it because i don't know what it is called so i point to it (right above
my knees in the back/inside) and say "my right here muscle hurts"

but that only really hurts when i am climbing on the ocho balcony. a little other times but then it hurts really bad

thats my news from here for now, because i said so.
how do you like that sentence all 5 w's answered in it

Answer: what class did i drop just today?
Question: i can't remember what
the question was or who got it right but i think it was sam. A) because
he "always" gets it and B) i think i remember him getting it. let me
check. ok it was how many fingers am i holding up.... the answer was 0
because i am typing duh... 100 points to caroline and austen
