Oh my god I feel so wonderful. I finally finished and can RELAX. I'm still bummed about the church thing but I care not to dwell on it right now. Life is good.

Shelly...I want to hear how everything went for you. Contact me.

Anyone who's home over break and home means somewhere near Harrisonburg, call me. We'll play. In the snow.

Peace.

I just have to get this off my chest. Next time I do you a huge favor, do not get impatient with me. I am your friend. Trust me. If I couldn't come through, I wouldn't offer. Ok, now that I've said it, I'm over it. Moving on.

After a really shitty couple of days, things are good again. Jer and I went for a drive today. We were supposed to pick up Link in Waynesboro but Link did not contact us, so instead we visited his Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Fun:) Then Jer and I went bowling. He won the first game by one point (102 to 101), then I won the second game (105 to 101), so technically I won the day. By three points. It counts. But now my fingers hurt.

I am very close to beating Super Mario 2, which I originally thought was impossible to do. The last level is fucking ridiculous, though, so it still may be too hard for me. But I can make it all the way to the end. That's saying something.

Someone I haven't talked to in a long time IMed me today. This is a person I'd like very much to get back into contact with, but I think he has me blocked, or uses a screen name I don't know. Anyway, it'd be nice to chat. You know who you are. Unghostify sometime and we'll catch up.

Anyway, I'm off to tackle the Nintendo. I *love* not having schoolwork hanging over my head - for the first time since that stupid Marshall Scholarship my second year of college. Why couldn't I just have been an underachiever all along? Ahwell. Got some good resume credits in the meantime.

Peace.

Ok kids, it's time to test your knowledge of my playlist. Here are 30 random lyrics from 30 random songs. Name that tune!

3) "In the deep blue night, I sleep next to a stranger..."
4) "My lonely days are over, and life is like a song..."
5) "I would sell my soul for something pure and true - someone like you..."
6) "As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain..."
7) "She never has time to inspect her surroundings, it's touch and go with everything..."

14) "Cellophane flowers in yellow and green towering over your head..."
15) "Sometimes when I'm ridin' high, feelin' fine, you know there's something troubling my mind, so I reach into my pocket for some small change..."
16) "Then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then you say..."
17) "If you die, will I get word when you're gone? Will I hear it in passing on the station?"
18) "Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen?"
19) "They heard someone yell 'Ceasar!' 'How you think he means that? You think as in 'to seize her?'"
20) "You might say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..."
21) "Don't go for second best, baby, put your love to the test..."
22) "Never gonna stop, give it up, I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind..."
23) "They made up their mind, and they started packing, and left before the sun came up that day..."
24) "Long time ago I had me a feller, three cocked hat and a coat of yeller..."
25) "So go and tell your servants, dear, to tie up all your silken gear, tell them you're to England gone, gone to buy your wedding gown..."
26) "I wanted you to see 'em all, I wished that you were there, I looked across the room and saw you standin' on the stair..."
27) "Couldn't you have got a couple piercings and decided maybe that you were gay?"
28) "Wonder if you're listening...does it make you think about the time we ran out naked in the summer rain?"
29) "Before I know it I'm going down this little bitty river in a boat a little bigger than a bathtub..."

Good luck, you'll probably need it;)
Put your answers in the comments and I'll post the key next weekish.
