Honto ni, arigato!

What have I been up to during my last days of summer?

I started learning to play go and now play semi-regularly on the Kiseido Go Server. I’m still very bad and somewhere in the 25kyu area there, but I plan to get better! Kevin told me I need to find a “perfect opponent” in order for my go “strength” to grow quickly, and perhaps I will find one if friends from school become interested in the game.

Also, on Tuesday, Kevin, Allen, Jonathan, and I played mahjong for about four hours. Allen likes chickens, or somehow gets a lot of points without meaning to. It was lots of fun anyway. Jonathan left for California, so we won’t see him again for some time. Good luck and have fun (gl hf am i rite) to you and Kevin for the next four years.

All the TAMS people move in some time next week, but actually don’t have classes until the Monday after the coming one. For some reason, some of them have started studying, although I don’t think Jimmy has. (…?)

In other news, I only have to wear my retainers at night now!

And now I will continue trying to finish up my summer homework.

One time I found an email in my Thunderbird inbox with the subject, “The most important desision in life Stringer” (sic). An unusual subject for a spam email, no? So I looked at the body of the email:

Before its too late make peace with GOD, and make sure the ones you love do also.

Its the greatest pleasure you can ever have and it lasts foever.

Accept him.

Repent.

Get baptized.

See you in heaven.

Hmm, maybe this isn’t spam? But wait, it has a random nonsensical string at the end of the email, just like a spam bot would generate:

In denton we can bacchus as always melodramatic deferral theirfore motive is peasanthood and snag.

That’s not the only one I got. Here’s another one:

Hello Bjwrenn,

If you die today where will you go ?

This is the most important thing in life.

Without God we have nothing.

Save yourself and the ones you love:

Say, “Oh God, save my soul. I’m so sorry that I have sinned against you, but I have come home. I will serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. Deliver me from all my sinful habits. Set me free! I do believe Jesus died on Calvary for me, and I believe in His blood, that there is power in His blood to wash away all my sins, all my sins!” Say, “Come into my heart, Jesus; come on in, Jesus. Come on in!”

If you meant it, He has come. If you meant it, Jesus is yours. Start reading your Bible, pray daily and believe that somebody’s listening; His name is Jesus.
