What do you do with the cards and letters you receive?  Do you keep them all, just keep the photos, throw them away? 
Inspired by jacolily.

I usually keep mine until the ides of March, when I have a ceremonious burning of every card and gift that I received that year. Not really, but I could.

So life has been pretty not bad, not great, but I would use the term good. I'm still in Marshall, but that's going pretty good, for the most part. Things aren't too good at the church right now, so I need to get a real job, but I still love it down here. It's strange, because I knew that I wanted to come back after I was here on what was formerly called ACE Teams (it's now called A4, named after Acts 4, I think). I never really thought that I would like this place as much as I do. When I said that I fell in love with Marshall, I meant that I fell in love with what I do in Marshall; it would just be nice if I could get paid for it.

For those of you that care, I'm looking to leave sometime in May, so that I can move on with my life. It's great here; I get to hang out with teens almost everyday, I get to talk about what I believe and live out what I believe. But I think that it may be time for me to move on with my life soon. Sure I could stay in Marshall for the next 3 and a half years, but I would probably just become stagnant as a person. I would grow to a certain point, and then I would get bored with it, and I would grow to hate it. I don't want to hate this place, but if I'm here for 3 more years, I just might.

Things were so much simpler back in high school, no responsibility, I got to hang out with my friends every weekend, I didn't need to have a job, the only thing that I needed to pay for was gas and car insurance. I could still be at home, but I would hate it there, because the people that I love have all gone away to do grow-up stuff, like go off to college and get a "real" education. I'm getting an education exactly where I'm at. I probably know a lot more about what to do when the crap hits the fan than somebody my same age has been babied in a classroom. Not that there's anything wrong with college. There's a lot I don't know, because I didn't go to college, but I feel like I've made it up with experience. Ideally, I wouldn't need to go to college in the near future, but that may change, depending on circumstances and whatnot.

So I'm ending my rant about how I don't want to go to college now and whining about my life. I'm sorry, as usual, if I've broken your heart by telling you that I'm dating a girl...and she's black... That suprises people for some reason. Yes, my girlfriend is black, and yes, I'm white and I have red hair. But, no, I am not a neo-nazi, just because I shave my head. I am farthest from that. Although I may be apart of the IRA, you just never know.

So I'm really ending this blog now, I think, unless I don't, in which case, you don't have to read it

What's on your holiday wishlist?

A lot of stuff is on my holiday wishlist, with the main things being an Orange Box and a Radar Detector. Feel free to give me one if you want. I also wouldn't mind having a cold air or raim air intake for a 2002 Ford Focus SE

Write your own Wikipedia entry for yourself (or share the link if you already have one).

I'm not going to write my own Wikipedia entry, because that's against the Wikipedia rules. I know that most people don't actually follow those, I do. I've contributed to Wikipedia in the past, a few times, where I can, and I try to fix things as I see them go wrong on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it's not your myspace or facebook, where you put everything that you want people to know about you. It should be things that other people see and know about you. If we all wrote our own Wikipedia articles, it would just become the next big social networking craze. And we don't need any more of those.
