MOOSE
So, I just put two and two together.
(That was a lot of twos up there)
The Loyal Order Of The Moose is a family fraternity... (similar to the one they had in REO's golden days). A couple weeks ago I went to the Fillmore Detroit and nearby was a HUGE building that said "The Loyal Order Of The Moose" my friend pointed it out and mentioned it was a funny name but other than that I didn't pay much attention to it...
Until now.
Duh.
I had a picture (because he took one of the building because he thought it was THAT funny) but it must have been deleted :/
Time for sleep? At 4:48 a.m.?
Maybe it would be if I weren't a freakin' college student!
Oyyyyyye.

kickin' it!
...into high gear! wowowowoooo! caffeinated beverages galoreeee!!!
It's been a weekend dedicated to the paper!!!!
AND I've been re-reading The Story Of REO Joe for the book review
1) because it's the one I'm most familiar with
2) because it's the one I was most interested in because it takes place in Lansing
3) because I went to the museum and it was pretty interesting and it's cool to connect the two
4) because every time they talk about MSU it makes me smile, hah
5) because the company as a family thing interests me quite a bit!
Here is a video that basically gives a tour of the museum if you didn't get a chance to go!

bam.
This weekend I received my first (and hopefully last) concussion.
This unfortunately has hindered my paper writing.... a lot. I am still having horrible headaches and am still nauseous, dizzy, throwing up and at times am confused. I saw a doctor and if I throw up again I have to go to the ER for a CT scan.
So yeah. This really friggen sucks.

I thought the movie today was interesting!
Personally, during the part where the older man started crying I would have had a hard time not reaching out to him and comforting him. But that's journalism, I suppose! And I've gotta figure out a way to get used to it.
It's sad how much we take equal rights for granted these days, when back then they had to fight ferociously for even a chance at them.
I really enjoyed our in depth discussions on Tuesday. A surprising feat considering how early the class is!
I liked how much we got off topic and how many different definitions for one word there can be, and how technically no single definition is more wrong or right than another because it's all a matter of perspective.
Interviews, writing, uploading, editing...

^^^^^ that is how I felt in the morning is and STILL how I feel! I have the immune system of a paper clip.... aka nonexistent.
BUT because I feel so crummy means it's the perfect time to get a ton of reading done! aka: The Great Arizona Abduction and Purpose For The Pain (TWLOHA book) so yay! Hopefully a warm, cozy night of reading and cookies and coziness awaits me! I am sad I missed out on class because I actually really do enjoy the discussions, even though I may not 'actively' participate most of the time.
I borrowed the recorder from the IMPACT so I'm hoping to do some audio interviews this weekend.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just went to webs.com to make the website for this and "yourstorymatters.webs.com" is already taken!!! AHHHHHHHHH! And I went to the website and it's completely blank! UGH! Jerk.

yeah, everything is alright.
I got my books today! I'm very excited to read them! I plan on cracking into at least one of them tonight!!
I did another interview today! Woo!
I was supposed to have a meeting with a couple people from MSU who also feel very strongly about TWLOHA today. We were going to discuss why we felt that way and I was going to get some interviews as well as contact info for others who feel the same way. I got to the Union and found out the meeting was cancelled! Awesome.
Today's class discussion made me think of my philosophy class a lot. What defines a person and who they are and how we come to those conclusions and how a lot of the time the only way we can find to 'define' things is by saying everything that it is not, rather than what it actually is. Yepp.
Personally, if someone told me I was now Canadian I'd be pretty freakin' pissed... even though I love Canada and make a point to go there at least once a year. I'M AN AMERICAN, DAMMIT! AH-MUR-CA! YEAH!!! Even though I'm technically half filipino...
I often wonder what my mom classifies herself as. My mom was born in the Philippines, lived in Italy for 6 years and then lived in Canada for 4 years and then finally moved to the US to be with my dad and became a US citizen. I feel like she changes her 'nationality' to fit her mood for the day....

Stuffffff
I am getting my books in person tomorrow around noon!
So far one person officially helped me and we did an online interview and she summarized how she felt about TWLOHA in a paragraph. I am also working on creating a Uchapter for TWLOHA here at MSU and I've been talking to some of the people who are helping me with that as well. And of course, I plan on interviewing them as well. I will choose a domain name for my website this week. At the moment, I am leaning towards www.freewebs.com/yourstorymatters but we'll see.
Below is a picture of me at the museum! To prove that I went and everything just in case I forget my receipt tomorrow for some reason... I look like and felt like death!!
