Thanks to D and Haloscan, you can now tell us what you think right on the site! Just click the comments link at the end of each post and tell us how you feel.

…the moment you’ve all been waiting for: pictures! Now you can see how we spent our Spring Break. That took entirely too long to get fixed. Hopefully it won’t happen again…My favorite:

(Don’t ask me what he’s doing)

Wow, today has been a busy day for me and CE. And yet, I don’t feel like I’ve done anything else. It’s been kinda nice.

For the third time in 24 hours I’m at the desk. Three times doesn’t sound like much, but when you consider it’s for a total of 11 hours with very little to do, and nowhere to go…it’s not the greatest. Since I don’t have much to do for a change, I’m actually getting to browse the net. You can find some really interesting things if you know where to look. Try these on for size: Photoshop, Reincarnation, and a different kind of church.

Anyone curious about the meaning of my last post, email me, IM me, or call me. I’d be happy to discuss it. Also, we want feedback about what kind of cool stuff we could have on this site. Current ideas include trivia contests, a hall of fame page (with game high scores), and other stuff we think would be cool. All of this is, of course, dependent on people actually reading this site. So if you’re reading now, send me an email and let me know. Seriously.

Tomorrow I start over.

That pretty much sums it up lately. No matter what I do, I’m not getting enough sleep. It seems like most of the time I don’t have a chance to go to bed early, and then any night when I get a chance that’s when I choose to stay up late. I’m beginning to wonder why I do this to myself, but each time that thought enters my head, I remind myself I have no idea.

Note to self: putting head down on desk while at work = bad idea. It’ll get you scared awake by the most god-forsaken sound on the planet when someone goes out the elevator door five minutes later. Drunk people are starting to come home, so that should keep me entertained for the rest of my shift. Ok, some really short girl just walked in the door that I have never seen before. I guess I should pay more attention.

Song: Something Corporate – Ruthless

Have you ever been a part of something that you enjoyed just for the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that it brought to you? Ever been a part of something that seems to be the perfect fit for you? Something that you stick with through all the crap that might go on in the middle because you truly believe you belong there and you can make a difference for yourself and others?

Have you ever had one person go out of their way to bring it all crashing down around you? I have. Tonight. I’d like to say I handled it well, but that would be a lie. I didn’t act out and do anything stupid. But I was not myself.

I actually hate this person. The thought is so totally horrible, but I truly HATE this person. If he ceased to live, I might even throw a party. I can’t even find the words to form this into a coherent post. I’m just going to stop. I hope your night was better than mine.

How else can I describe it? The opening band didn’t suck for a change. Both headlining bands opened with my favorite songs. Yellowcard – Believe and Something Corporate – Hurricane. The energy of the crowd was absolutely amazing, especially during Yellowcard’s hour set. They covered Nirvana, they played old stuff, they played new stuff. Something Corporate covered Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) and Hey Ya (Outkast). They played 21 and Invincible for me (well, not really). Seriously. Best concert I’ve ever.

I’ve had too much time to think lately. It’s all the driving I’ve done in the last week and a half. Sometimes it’s a truly great escape, but lately it’s been more of a curse. Especially when it ends up costing me in the range of $200 for a statute I didn’t even violate in a state I will rarely (if ever) visit again. Of course, when I drive I listen to music, and when I listen to music and drive, my mind tends to wander over all the things in my life and even some things in other people’s. As much as I hate to admit it, coming back to school is probably good for me because being busy again will give me an opportunity to shut out all those thoughts that have been constantly running through my head. It might allow me to actually make some decisions about some things in my life instead of just constantly going over the possibilities.

I’ve fallen into a very bad habit of staying up too late. Call it voluntary insomnia. I don’t feel tired when it’s time to go to bed so I stay up. But do I actually do anything? Not really. Somehow I’ve gotten really good at wasting time when I’m avoiding sleep. What is it that I’m afraid of anyway? It’s not my dreams; I usually don’t remember them anyway. It’s not that I won’t be able to sleep once I lay down in my bed; I almost always fall asleep within minutes. I think it’s the fact that I know when I wake up in the morning, everything in my life will be right there waiting for me, just where I left it. For some reason that thought hasn’t been very comforting lately. And yet, eventually my eyelids get heavy, and I can’t put off the inevitable any longer. G’nite.

Alabama was incredible. It couldn’t have come at a better time either. A few days on the beach with no obligations was just what I needed. Unfortunately, it couldn’t last forever.

The reality of all the things I’ve got to do in the next few weeks is crashing down around me. The one bright spot is my birthday…

…so I’m in the middle of a post and I completely lost my train of thought. And it’s all Darci’s fault. She just introduced me to a song I’ve never heard before, that just happens to be “the most freaking amazing song ever” in her words. When someone makes a statement that bold, I’ve gotta check it out. So after downloading the song, queuing it up in Winamp and listening for 1 minute, I hit the repeat button and now I’m on my third pass. At this point I really can’t argue with her statement. Konstantine by Something Corporate is just short of 10 minutes with some of the best lines i’ve ever heard all assembled in one song. I can’t even concentrate to finish this post. Go download this song. Now.

Yesterday I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it was everything I thought it could be. I could really get used to this place! If I had a real keyboard here I would post more, but since this point-n-click method takes forever I’ll keep it short. I leave you with this: “Hey, shut up, Wonka!”
