As per tradition and etiquette, here is a brief introduction. I am a 28 year old male, originally from Washington state, and am now attending medical school in the midwest. I served a mission in Germany. I am single. I am the organist in my YSA branch, thus the name and the following scripture.
D&C 45:71 "And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy."
I am known on Nauvoo.com as Jason, but will refrain from using that name here in order to avoid confusion with another one known as Jason.
Welcome Nauvoo Jason aka Organist! I'm sure you'll recognize a number of names here.
I have a friend who is a physician. At one time, I thought about becoming a pediatrician. After seeing my friend go through four years of med school, then take the boards, then move away for another four years of residency, I gratefully pursued another path. So good on ya for perservering through a challenging career choice.

Welcome Doc. Mind if I refer to you as Doc? When I was still involved with the place across the river, it was always so confusing to see a Jason that was so different in personality and experience than my pal Jason from here.

Arghh!!!!!! It was confusing enough having three Jasons in my elementary school class!!! Actually, if you want to hear something really funny! All three members of the Elder's Quorum Presidency in our ward are named Jason. Talk about confusing! Welcome Organ Playing Jason. Hopefully we won't get too confused!!!
I have a brother named Jason too... I like to think of all Jasons as my brothers. Jason from Nauvoo is the one I used to believe was an alien from outerspace, more insectoid than human... but now that I see he came from Washington State, I have completely revised my belief system... it just makes so much sense. :)
I hope that you find yourself well here Organist. Don't be afraid to cause a controversy while you're here... get a few threads locked by your love of unconventional beliefsystems that make other mormons squeamish. Okay? :P

Rhyming silly names has its place...far far from me. The advertising company that produces the commercials for a shoe insole where everything rhymes with "gellin" should be fired and barred from ever working in advertising again.

Boy, do I agree with that! Horrible commercials!
My brother Jason was due on Halloween. Thankfully, he was born a few days early. It would have been creepy to be born on Halloween and have the name Jason.
kill, kill, kill, kill, die, die, die, die, Jason, Jason, Jason, Jason. That first Haloween movie was creepy! Made the name Jason much more intimidating though which was cool for me!
