Chi Alpha

Just a quick post to try and get the word out as quick as possible...
I am no longer working with Chi Alpha. As many or most of my readers know I began phasing my way out at the beginning of this year and due to my insane schedule I have now had to leave completely. Thanks to all my supporters through the years. I love all you guys and I couldn't have done it with out you.

What's Your 1996 Theme Song?

In 1996 I was a freshmen in high school at Benjamin Franklin High School. I got my drivers license. I went to my first "party"...know what I mean? I went to 3 homecoming dances including one in the Superdome. I had my sweet sixteen party in the warehouse district in New Orleans. I played softball for a city team and tennis for my high school. I had really really short hair and wore a size 4. Hmmm...

Look Who's Blogging Now...

Similar to Look Who's Talking but different...
Here's an interesting piece from Slate about blogs written by TV characters. There are tons of them out there (maybe too many): Creed from The Office, Margene from Big Love, Barney from How I Met Your Mother, to name a few.

"In general, they're written with more attention to detail -- and better punctuation -- than the average day-in-the-life blog," the story says. "And, theoretically at least, they could be a welcome development ... With a few notable exceptions, however, most of these blogs kind of stink."

I agree. I have a hard time reading character blogs because I know the task is falling to assistants or cast members or interns or anyone but the writers who should be doing them in the first place. Frankly, I'd rather read about the inner-workings of a show (like this) than spend time with the show's character.

WAY TOO EARLY

So recently I've been having to get up earlier due to my job and our 6:15AM opening time. And you know what I've discovered? Apparently it's true that when you have to all the time get up super early you really can't sleep in late when you don't have to get up that early. I always had friends who'd get up early and tell me that's why but I never really understood not being able to sleep later then 8am. Actually I woke up at 6:30AM this morning. And today is my day off! I've got to fix this now!

Facebook

I joined facebook and have been ignoring all my blogs. My bad. But I HAD to share this with my blogging world...speaking of facebook.

The Best

Here's the best song from High School Musical 2. And yes that is Zac Efron who also is the star of the hit movie Hairspray. And yes I am so cool that I do know these things and have seen high school musical 1 and 2.

IDEAS

Hey all I'm using this blog as a source to see if there are any ideas out there that you would like to share with me. Let me be more specific...EVERYONE loved the chi alpha 1950s video and the district would love to continue on this track of fun videos that are short, funny, but still get the messege across. Also we'd like to stick with Jo. So share your thoughts with me. I need some ideas on other videos or concepts that could be done or "mocked".
Videos that we could do and need ideas for...
Promo to attract new chi alpha workers to this area
General retreat video
Freshman adjustment
Churches doing out reach on campuses near by
Chi Alpha internship in DC
Get involved in missions

There are probably more but that's all I can think of right now...so if something strikes you or if you have an idea you've always wanted to see or be a part of LET ME KNOW and tell your friends.
