Here is a bit of a blog post from Space Camp’s website; I’m famous!

Alex A. and His Effect on Women

We close with a side note. I’ve been impressed with Alex A’s talent both as a programmer but also as a Flight Director. This weekend I was witness to another undiscovered talent. Alex A’s effect on females.

I returned from running an errand in Orem and found a woman wearing a Phoenix uniform sitting in the Briefing Room. A man was standing beside her, also in uniform. Of course I guessed they were part of the Phoenix crew. Alex was their Flight Director. They were on a five hour mission. The woman didn’t look well. The man was beside her as if offering additional support.
“I’m feeling better,” I heard her say. I turned around to ask about the circumstances and found the Phoenix Control Room empty. The crew was on a break. A few moments later Alex appeared.
“We had a woman faint on the bridge,” he said innocently. “ I was in the middle of the mission and she just fainted. It was the craziest thing.”
I looked at him in amazement.
“Alex, are you telling me that this woman, not girl, a WOMAN fainted during one of your missions? What effect to you have on women anyway? Was it your voice? Was it your inflection? Perhaps it was a combination of the music and your voice. I’ve heard such a thing was possible but never in my 18 years as a Flight Director have I ever brought light headedness to a woman. I’ve caused multiple cases of vomiting but never fainting. What a Casanova. You stud!”
It was dark so I couldn’t see the multiple shades of red parading across Alex’s face but he did laugh. I told him this was something I had to write about in this week’s Troubadour Post.
“Why do you think I told you,” he responded. With that he disappeared into the Phoenix’s Control Room.
I noticed a moment later his Engineer character suddenly had a very suave voice. I mentioned to his second chair, Dave Daymont, to keep an eye on him and not let him get carried away.

Have a Great Week Troops!

So anyhow.  I have spent today with the very lovely Sarah.  We had a Sarah-Addie day, as only Sarah and Addie can have.  It was pretty fantastic.  She gave me a haircut!  I’ve really been needing one.  The last haircut that I had was back around my birthday in May.  This one is very very cute!  I didn’t even have to pay anything for it.  Free, cute haircuts for the win!  Yay!

We also wound up playing around with her macbook photobooth a lot.  Once Sarah posts the results on facebook, I’ll put some of them in here.  They’re pretty fantastic.

I am so, so tired…  Without going into gory details, Katrina didn’t get home last night until about 3:30.  Ian, her darling boyfriend, was quite distraught because he couldn’t get a hold of her, and so I invited him to come up to the dorms and wait for her to return.

No sleep for Addie.  >.<

Which also means that I should get my biochemistry homework done, so that I can actually get some sleep tonight.

Love y’all!
