An interesting e-mail in the box today...

As you (probably) know, was "Going for Guiness" tonight, as our local NBC affiliate put it. (This, to me, conjures up images of taps in the Dining Common dispensing Guiness. Is that wrong? Probably. Oh, you didn't know Guiness, the book of world records, and Guiness, the Irish beer company, were one and the same? Well, now you know.)

So, one of the student organizers of the thing emails me today, asking me not to guess how many people actually showed up until after Christmas, so that we can maintain our new record for a while. ::shrug:: Sure. Why not? Since I didn't go, your guess is as good as mine as far as attendees go. I'm going to say 600,000 people showed up. Beat *THAT* Berkeley!

He also sent me a cool little sticker that I've placed over on the sidebar to the left. It indicates that I'm a BJU blogger. (No, really, it does!) Beneath it is a list that includes his blog and several other blogs maintained by BJU students. Except for the one run by the BJU PR guy, Jonathan Pait. I'd also like to congratulate Mounty on keeping me up at least an hour later than usual. :-)

Anyways, I work tomorrow. Sleep cometh.

You're right, you don't know me. I'm Jeremy **name removed**, a junior Comprehensive Business major. I think I've seen you around campus every now and then, but we haven't actually met.

ok I know who you are (after consulting the vintage...)
you were an acad weren't you?

Posted by: gwen at December 5, 2004 03:23 PM

Not an acad; I went to the elementary school up until the fourth grade, but then my family moved to Georgia. We moved back to Spartanburg a few years ago, but I went to a local school, Westgate Christian School.

Westgate, eh? Did you know the Hudson's? Ceyth? Sterling? They are my wife's cousins. Not that that necessarily means anything - I don't remember exactly when they graduated but I figure it would be about the time you were there

Posted by: Jonathan at December 7, 2004 12:40 AM

Yeah, actually, I do. Ceyth graduated the year before I did, and Sterling the same year I did.
