We caught Lord Of The Rings just now! I am absolutely overwhelmed by the whole movie. It's fantastic. Go watch it quick!! We might catch it a second time with a group of friends this weekend. It's worth it man...

Jeffrey emailed and said he would like to withdraw from the HFC committee. Ian called me this noon to talk about it. He thought that I knew about it beforehand. I did not. Anyway, I would like to know what are his reasons for withdawing. Ian also mentioned that Pam might know some things and that his fear was the big group of volunteers might just go along with Jeff. He asked me to talk to Pam to check out how things were. All these, I do have the intention of doing, even before Ian called.

It just dawned on me that this is a responsibility for me now, since I am supposed to have officially taken over the position from Ian. It's up to me to make those phonecalls and to do such PR things. The thought of having such a big responsibility falling on my shoulders is really quite a scary thought. Ian's phonecall was kind of like a reminder that "Hey, it's your call now. You call the shots, so you got to handle this."

All of a sudden, there's this little conflict in me with the "want to do it" vs the "have to do it". It's a thin line to draw. I suppose with the first one, I still have the choice. I want to do it but if I have no time, then my "wants" change and I won't do it. But if I have to do it, then the whole thing becomes very different. Almost a dread.

I wonder if I am this kind of...well...what do you call it...PR(?) person. Some people love to make phonecalls and chat over the phone, even if it's something serious to discuss about. Personally, I hate making phonecalls. I can chat with you for hours over the phone if you call, but I won't actually sit down and pick up the phone and make a call to anyone just for a chat.

So as much as I hate to make phonecalls, I want to speak to Jeff about his withdrawal from the committee and etc. So, I have to make that phonecall anyway.
