So I am sitting here in my apartment with the worst of my fears realized. We had a small flood in the south east corner of the apartment. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out why this has happened to me. And as you might realize I have this mad paranoia of floods, fires, and really anything the TVR (Thompson Valley Restoration). had cleaned up when I worked for them. So basically I am freaked out of my mind seeing as I hated going into other peoples houses and having them displaced because of disasters. Really, so if you could send me some disaster love, that would be great. Drop me a line here and then we can chat and I can share my paranoia with you. And Yes I am fine in every other way, my mind is a little scattered as you can see by this little update, but really I just want to be hugged. Thanks for reading about my day, I wish that TVR was here so they could do this for me, but sadly they are not and thats a little annoying but alas, peace yo.

On the prompting of my father, elder Gregory Houghton, I have decided to update this shindig. The first couple of weeks of this new semester have been fairly uneventful, and by uneventful I mean nothing wild and crazy has happened. I have been super busy with things though. I spent a weekend on American soil with a band. We went down through Great Falls and Billings Montana, and then to Cody Wyoming, stopping and doing worship things and meeting with teens along the way. It was a great time had by all. There was 10 of us who went in a 15 passenger van with one seat removed so needless to say it was fairly packed, we got to know each other very well in a few short days. Other then that one brief excursion, I have been doing reading, working on Youth Conference, being cultured by going to a Jazz dance thing, and to 21 Grams. I feel so close to culture now its great, but I live in a christian dorm so how cultured can I really be. Anyways, Life is Beautiful, and I am enjoying my time here, so ya its been good, and now I feel that its bed time, I am getting old and I hate 8:15's which are annoying but I have to go anyways. Peace yo, and in the words of Mike Schalin, It gives you calcium.

I woke this morning to the wonderful sound of a fire alarm. It was a blustery -20 or so when my brother, my dad and I had to bust out into the freezing cold Calgary air. It was not a way I wanted to wake up, but it was quite effective in bringing my senses to fruition. It was a malfunctioning alarm on the sixth floor which started this alarm. It was no good. So we stayed up and went to the school to check my mail, but sadly the building was closed. So generally the day was doomed already, and then I had to say good by to my dad and brother. I had a great break with my family at home and it was sad to see them go. I then spent the day watching various TV shows and listening to music and eating food, it was pretty boring, as you can tell by this aimless writing. Now my roommate is back so that is cool and I think I may be heading out for dinner later, so that should be cool.
