Mr. Giblon


Here is the wonderful, cuddly Nickolas Giblon. Don't you want to be his friend? Benefits of friendship include +5 to coolness and 5 sec. off cooldown for all your spells.

John - since I don't have your e-mail and I saw Tommy posting on here earlier, I thought I'd ask here:

Are you and Tommy intersted in a little photography gig on the 23rd of June next year? You sounded open to it, but I hadn't said anything to you about it all summer, so I thought it was about time to bring it up again.

Mr. Giblon, good to see your Capn' Cuddliness in person! And do beat our photographer here, but spare the camera.

Em, does this concern a certain matrimonial ceremony somewhere abouts KS?

Kakashi said...

Em, I may in fact be interested. Let me talk to Tommy.

Nick, this was the only picture of you smiling. Oh, and the +5 thing is humor, and also because I've been playing World of Warcraft on my brother's account. I'm a level 13 Undead Rouge!

Emily said...

Yes, Tommy, it does involve a certain matrimonial ceremony in Kansas City, Missouri. :) You are invited to photograph the Curry/Harrison wedding.

I had been scouting for photographers, and since I have some photography experience myself I am extremely picky. Oftentimes the eye of the photographer (especially in wedding photography) reflects his or her values, and there are lots of photographers who don't share my values. You and John DO, (or at least for the most part, eh, Boyer? ;) so you seem to be the fellows for the job, if you can make it.

You live in Boise, eh, Mr. Giblon? Evan and I have a friend in Boise.

Well, as a matter of fact, it is. But you spelled their name wrong (it's an "e", not an "i"). Greg, a.k.a. "Mort", is one of my dearest friends. If my fiance and I ever need anyone to "put us up" in the future, you can bet he'll be contacted first.

. . . You're kinda odd . . . not that that would be unusual for my circles . . . or, most espeically, for Boyer's circles :) (tee hee hee - I can see the look on your face, John). . . but you're really quite odd.

Emily said...

Yeah, T.A.C. is eccentricity central, and that's why I didn't necessarily mean the term "odd" to be an insult, per-se. Just an observation. ;) You would be one of our more eccentric eccentrics . . . but the community finds them rather entertaining, so that's not necessarily a bad thing.

John's a dern good theologian (at least I never had any cause to complain of him in class). I found him to be a stellar intellectual and a fabulous section-mate this past year. I really hope to have him in class again. As far as the religious life goes - I pray that God puts John into the best possible vocation for the sanctification of his soul, wherever that may be.

Pax,
Em

Yes, I'm also to be a senior there this year. Many of the readers on this blog are John's schoolmates. In fact . . . you're one of the only people I could not identify right off the bat.

My fiance has already graduated from T.A.C. - he will be continuing his schooling this year in systematic theology. He hopes to teach at the collegiate level.

Well, to be frank, California is not my kind of place, either. In fact, I think that goes for a lot of TACers. But then again, the campus scarcely associates with the common culture - the fact that it is so alien to our values is probably more of a help to T.A.C.'s contemplative lifestyle than a a hindrance.

God bless,
Em

No, I'm NOT a Californian. (eeeeek!! Nononononono)

I'm a Missourian. I was born and raised here, and I wish I never had to leave. But hey, God's will be done. California and Florida will be my states of residence for the next seven years, at least.

Pax Christi sit semper tecum,
Emily

I was born in Independence, MO., where the R.L.D.S. believe Joseph Smith will appear again someday. As a whole, the area ignores those people as much as possible. They're weird.

Yeah, unfortunately the "Protect the Children" video was headed up under my former bishop's direction. We have a new guy, though, who is getting national attention for the changes he is making. Bishop Robert Finn. The National Catholic Reporter, the nastiest rag of liberal 'Catholic' nonsense known to journalism, wrote an article about it "more than half the length of Matthew's gospel" (to quote Our Sunday Visitor). I think it's the best argument for how much good he's doing for us around here. See the article at http://ncronline.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2006b/051206/051206a.php.

The good bishop came over for dinner last Sunday. He is surprisingly frank, beautifully commanding and relievingly wise. My fiance and I admire him a great deal.

Missouri is a good place for the Church right now. Unfortunately, it's also a frightening place for the right to life. Please pray for Missouri, especially for KC, as it battles the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and they're multi-million amendment to the state constitution, which claims that it will ban cloning but actually protects embryonic stem cell research from any goverment regulations whatsoever, through the old "it's not a clone until it's implanted into a woman's womb" clause. It's frightening. PLEASE pray. Missouri doesn't have the smartest voting record in the world (see election 2000 . . . we elected a dead man as our state senator! Augh!)
