Congrats to the Tall Skinny Kiwi
Today was a first for me. Andrew Jones- aka Tall Skinny Kiwi- hosted a party his silver anniversary of journalling/blogging. It was in a room he created at Habbo Hotel. Rather than a chat room, you create a character for yourself and interact with the virtual environment. Some of us showed up early, gathering in a circle near the fireplace. When more people showed up, we decided to move to the table where there were more chairs. Now, since we could all “hear” each other from anywhere in the room, this was entirely unnecessary. Why did we do it? Because it seemed so natural. A truly bizarre experience.
At any rate, it was a great time to get to know some new people, pray for each other (those being prayed for hopped in an empty bathtub which we all surrounded- I know, I know…). Andrew then made an annoucement about the new position he will be taking with Church Mission Society (CMS). While it will be a pay cut for him, he is excited by the oportunity to invest more into the UK. Check out his blog for more details.
In the screen shots, I am Voyageur, the guy wearing the red toque. Now, for my non-Canadian readers who are uninitiated in the world of the toque (or tuque), it “is a knitted hat, originally usually of wool though now often of synthetic fibers, that is designed to provide warmth in winter. Sometimes considered Canada’s national hat, all tuques are tapered and brimless, and they are often topped with pompoms.” (from Wikipedia). For more information, rent “Strange Brew“, post haste!
