I've officially gotten my Brick on!

My final answer is "yes." It looks like this summer is going to rock with a cool group of people living in Brick House and a cool group of people living in Rubber House. So, if any other current Shoupers and/or Foas want to hang out this summer, feel free to come get your Brick on with us or stop by the other house and get your Rubber on. Peace out!

Re: chicks and clipart

6 chicks at once? They must have been really light, too...
As for the clipart (that is indeed what it is), it was a tough choice between not having an illustration of the hope new life brings into the world and having some random baby (who is probably/hopefully not related to me) smiling up at us from the blog. I settled on the shadow/baby thing as a representation of the hope without being a real baby. So really, it's only a temporary placeholder until I get a real picture. Which, hopefully, will be soon and will come with a name!

Circle of life Mary Oyer rules!

Dude, Mary Oyer should prove to be way interesting. Once she taught our History of Christianity in Africa class and just up and started talking. After an hour of fascinating--if not totally coherent--ramblings about African religion and music she confided to us that her notes for the lecture were, as she said, "circular," at which we all duly chuckled until she pulled a paper with all her ideas written in a circle. "See, she said, I just kind of started in the middle. I don't like Western linearity." Now there's an awesome woman.
hope!

Speaking of which, my cousin's wife Rachel is in labour! As we speak! Yay childbirth! Best part is that my grandmother gets to live to become a great-grandmother, and we all get to have that feeling that really, in the face of strife and war and death, life does go on, and that, as long as good people like my Peter & Rachel keep having kids, there is yet hope for this world.

how to post a picture

in order to "post" pictures, as in up load them to the server that this blog is being stored on, we have to subscribe to "Blog*Spot Plus," and that means giving them money, fortunately, we here at getyourshoupon.org are cheap, and tend to "work it" when ever we get the chance

here's how to "work it":

1. the picture that you want to post must be somewhere on the web already. i.e. your own personal web page, on getyourshoupon.org, or where ever.

2. blogger accepts hyper text markup language, so type in <img src="http://www.goshen.edu/~katieah/thankyoukatieho/2002/images/ericmonkey.jpg">

3. same thing applies for adding links, just do what you would if you were writing in html

* just a note, if ever anyone wants to see how anyone did anything on the blog, while you're logged in, click "enter safe mode" and it will show the html versions of the blogs. this applies to anything on the web if you are curious how someone did something, there is always an option in web browsers to view the source code, this is usually a great resource for copying and pasting code.

best of luck!

Quick note

Weiss, sorry to hear about the bad things this week. I'm in a break from Health Care Ethics where we have been discussing death & dying for, like, ever, which has made me think of my grandmother a lot. Hope I get to see her before she goes... Boy, bad things suck.

But: soon we will be funking up prospectives!

And: Celeste is alive! As are you!

Also: Eric gets his dialogue performed!

And: Robin becomes a tiger!

We do what we can.

Bad things that have happened this week:
1. Celeste gets cut open by doctors.
2. Did badly on Money & Banking test.
3. Rejected from Cornell Law School.
4. Still haven't gotten my money back from bailing out John.

Good things that have happened this week:
1. Credit card bill contained no surprises.
2. Did well on Intro to Economic Development test.
3. Got paid for Hour After.
4. John says he has my money and will give it to me soon.

Also, I need to call my parents.

So:
GC is producing my postwar dialogue in the evening of one acts. It's their own fault. I hope it works. It'll be the first thing of my own i'll ever see on stage. pray for me or something.

i want to make NWP an official not-for-proffit organization that can actually some day pay it's employees. don yost is giving me advice. thank you to mike shank and derek bontreger of shoup house who, along with ben friesen and others, have saved NWP from certain doom. you guys rock. let's start talking about the future... pray for me or something.

we are in tech now for A&C. I have nothing to do so I watch the lighting guys work. I have actually spent a good chunk of the last couple days helping them hang and gel lights for the show. it was a blast.

that's the news from lake woe-be-gone (i just thought of that). I'll see you all in a week and a half. you are all my heroes. you wear leotards and capes. i love you.

Stars? Eric?

Okay, now to clear Eric's name. Eric said to add a couple of stars to the star chart, not the b v l chart. I believe those two stars on the b v l chart were a mistake. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Eric.)

Bowling for Oscars

Oh man, I am so clever! Anyway... If you haven't yet heard, "Bowling for Colombine" won the best documentary Oscar at this year's Academy Awards. That's not the best news, though. If you happened to miss it, then you also missed one of the best acceptance speeches that I have ever heard. First of all, Michael Moore had all of the other nominees for that category join him onstage and he said: "We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons whether it's the fiction of duct tape or the fiction of orange alerts. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you." Definitely one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen on TV. If you ever have an opportunity to see this footage (online, maybe?) you should watch it. (Adrian Brody won best actor for "The Pianist" and his speech went like this: "It fills me with great joy but I'm also filled with a lot of sadness tonight because I'm accepting an award at such a strange time and my experiences in making this film made me very aware of the sadness and the dehumanization of people at times of war and whether you believe in God or Allah may he watch over you and let's pray for a peaceful and swift resolution." Also, "Chicago" won for best picture.)

and where did my hat go? Damn hat.

i have started working with the techies here, hanging lights for the show, which has been a lot of fun and not officialy part of the internship. today I'm heading out to a pickup frisbee game that i just found out about. it should fall under the same catagory.

Hey, and I'm trying to get them to perform my dialogue in the one-act festival. sounds like i have a chance, but i don't want to count all my horses in one basket while my boat's in mid streem. so, i'm off. love you. thank you for shutting down chigago - you're my hero.

1) John arrived home last night around 1:30, after being released with $100 dollar bond, and a court date, he was charged with reckless conduct.
2) Weiss's alternator is broken
3) there is no three, it just doesn't make much sense to have a list, if there aren't at least three things
4) I just thought of something to add
5) some of us are going to hang around here and go to the rally, while the rest of us head home so we can get some work done, yay!

Update from Rosanna and Kate

All of us are out except John. Celeste and Nathaniel are going to the jail right now to wait for him. They're demanding bond and not releasing him. This is very ironic as he least of any of us was interested in getting arrested and hung back in the crowd. Nathaniel, Alburn and I were released this morning with no charges. We regrouped and went to the 5:00 protest today while Weiss and Paul waited at the jail all day for John. The protest tonight went very peaceably (the way last night's would've had the police not felt the need to arrest arbitrarily). We're staying at the CPT house here (some of the CPTers were actually arrested today at the 8:00 a.m. protest blocking the federal building). Celeste, Kate, Meg, Weiss, Paul and Sarah were also at this morning's protest but decided not to end rosanna, begin kate "get arrested" when were were offered the option of either protesting, or getting arrested. Following the protest we gathered at the CPT office, rounding up our beloved, fellow GCers, and were glad to see almost all of thier faces at long last. As of now, every one but Rosanna and I are at the jail, holding vigil for john, and the CPTers, as well as other men stilll waiting to be let out. so stay tuned for further update, Rosanna and I will keep an eye on the cookies, making sure no cookie monster comes by the CPT office, cheerio! kate

actually, to add to Rosanna's coment about the action this morning, involving CPT, I believe all of the CPTers directly involved in the action were arrested, and some, if not all, are still being held, please keep them in your thoughts. and e-mail us some toothbrushes, i forgot mine, thanks

thank you derek. i must say, it might be the war or it might be that i have been away for too long, but i am really starting to miss people, and the love is starting to flow. i love you guys. i don't know where i would be without shoup house. i love my fiance. i love eric k, jossiah g, dan e, and many other wonderful people out there. i love hearing about speciall shoup love (something which seems to run in a particular family) and about extra-shoupal love. i am also jealous and protective. to all you foas out there who get to sleep with my house while i am away: i know where you live. don't fuck with my house. i'll take your ass of the people i love list like that (snaps fingers, throws salt over left shoulder, spins around and winks three times). and sasha: i'm ashamed of you.

i'm proud of landon. let that be a lesson to the rest of you.

good god i miss you all. (oh and where on the web is the b vs. l chart?) chalk me up a couple b's will you? and give me a star or two.

maybe: you should give me a star every time you think about me. unless it's a bad thought and then give me a frowny face. (this way when i get home i'll know conclusively weather you love me or not).

peace,
culture for service,

Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

So, tonight we had our house meal, which turned out to be very good. Then, I thought, I should go up to the public library to get some more books about Dorothy Day for my War, Peace and Nonresistance paper. But my car was in use, so I thought I'd use Meg's bike instead. I left people playing on the computer, doing dishes, doing homework, etc. I ride up to the library, get a couple books and promptly return to my beloved Shoup House (the whole trip took no more than 20 minutes). ... Just to find that everyone had disappeared!!! (Dun, dun, dun!) I swear there were like 10 others here before I left! It was kind of creepy, I went knocking on everyone's bedroom door and, so far, nobody has answered (except for that damn squirrel in the Schrocks' room!). Where did everyone go? Will they ever return? What happened? Stay tuned! So anyway, here I sit. Alone. I did notice that a bike or two were missing. I may cry. I haven't decided yet.

Eric, you're just so willing to give the love out these days, that I thought I'd reciprocate: We love you too. (Well, I shouldn't really speak for the rest of the shoupers, but at least I love you, Man.) I tried out for the one-acts today and I think I'll find out tomorrow if I made them. So, we'll see how that goes. I talked Alex Miller into auditioning (I called him up at WGCS when I recognized his voice on the radio). And Alburn also ended up auditioning. Peace out.

yes, it is a short play. you can pass it along if you like, that would be grand if they would actually do it. thanks meg. while your at it, is there any way you could put that story generator on line - i need some ideas. or just give it a couple clicks and give me the options.

Congratulations!

Yes, Landon! Way to rock the Oswin George and David N. Gerber Scholarship in Mennonite Studies! We are all very happy for you. Someday you will make us all very proud ("and I was once his roommate"). Funny thing about the Gerber scholarship is the story of the two guys in whose honour it was established. I quote from the website:

"George attended both Goshen College Academy and Goshen College, graduating in 1937 with majors in history and Bible. David grew up a generation earlier and did not have the opportunity to attend college. Instead he became a blacksmith and was, according to John, "a colorful character." Because of his unorthodox behavior, David wasn't fully accepted into the church."

Well, maybe that speaks for itself. All I'm saying is he's my roomie, and if he gets to be George, I'm happy to be his David.
Shit.

The only new news for me is that I was awarded the Oswin and David Gerber Scholarship in Mennonite Studies by the GC history dep't for next year. Also, I filled out an NCAA tournament sheet, as most Shoupas are avid sports fans, I'm sure you all care that I picked Kentucky to win.

Recalcitant Recalculations

After some more number-crunching--due to the site being spread out like the manure it is all over the goshen.edu server--it has been determined that by getting our shoup on so dang much we are now responsible for over 3.45% of our dear college's web traffic.
Yeah.
Also: this blog, like a Platonic (but not 'platonic' by a long shot) body politic, rules.

yo', celeste is now the first official foas to be invited to join our oh so special blogspot, so if you're a foas, just dying to get a word in, e-mail shouphouse@skunkbox.com, and we'll add you to our list.
...or e-mail me, it'll probably be faster.

hey Meyer, good to see you. yeah, just hit post&publish and it'll show up. as for it calling you dyck, that you should be so lucky to have my name...

reminds me of the MCC lady last night who went on and on about their "commitment to Christ" and the "filters" they have to "screen" service applicants.
I mean really, do they know who I am? or my grandfather, at least? felt like saying "yeah, well Peter Dyck gave me his copy of the New Testament, does that count?"
goodness, blogging is fun.

so, when you're done, don't forget to hit the yellow "publish button"

as far as I can tell, post throws what you wrote on to the frame below but post & post and publish should stick it up on shoup.blogspot, only as far as i can tell it it doesn't, so when you're done writing, click "publish"

hey hey all.
so here it is, a blog.
today i went to rehearsal.
yesterday i went to rehearsal.
tomorrow, i think i'll go for a walk - to rehearsal.
today antony killed himself
yesterday antony whipped dollabella
tomorrow cleopatra will kill herself.
so it goes.*

I realized that shakespears tragedies** can all be boiled down to the same basic moral.
don't tell your lover that you killed yourself.
just don't do it.
it never turns out the way you want it to.
it's a bloody mess, and i dont want to clean it up.

(that's what i do. that's part of what i do. i clean up after rehearsal.)

i love you, you are my own dear shoup house.
good night.

eric

holy shit, we have a blog!

maybe this is a good time to talk about acceptable content on our house blog...

yes, Derek, I am looking at you.

but seriously, let's not be inhibited just 'cause our grandparents might read this, just write what you feel.

Great.

so, here are some links: www.mksm.org and www.getyourshoupon.org.
