Your intellect is all riled up today, and you might find that you're much better able to absorb new info and concepts. Education is a snap for you, but so is research and investigation.
"You cannot slander human nature; it is worse than words can paint it." -Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"I haven't left you for days now
And I'm becoming amazed how
You're quite affectionate in public
In fact your friend said it made her feel sick
And even though it's moving forward
There's just the right amount of awkward
And today you accidentally called me baby"
I highly recommend listening and re-listening to Lily Allen's
Who'd Have Known on the It's Not Me, Its You album. Even if the whole rest of the album were crap, I'd still love her for this song.
Randoms:
Then again, I love Roseanne Cash's version of Tennessee Flat Top Box too, so my opinion may not have the same weight another's would.
("In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around. and all the girls from there to Austin were slipping away from home and putting jewelry in hock to take a trip to go and listen to the little dark haired boy who'd play the little Tennessee Flat Top Box ... and he would play (guitar solo)") It must be memories of the whole family being in the van coming home from a night of dad's softball games or something just laying out on the bed jamming to the speakers above... (and hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked... and he would play...) :-) Same way I feel about most 80's country. (Is this another sign I should take
guitar lessons instead of buying a piano-weighted keyboard?)
You girls are fun, but I'm glad movie night is only one night a week... I am WORE out, lol. I guess I stayed up too late (Stayed up to watch Greek.) So I guess, really, Greek wore me out! Thanks for coming and watching He's Just Not That Into You
How I'm doing/Main Topic:
sigh. Ask me if my email to Sabrina (BBBS little sister from years ago) brought back that she's been living in homeless shelters because she doesn't have a job and that she might live with her aunt soon and she might be getting surgery. geez.

Confessions:
Fairly certain that eating only milk and oatmeal has done horrible things to my breath.
Am actually looking forward to going home to a clean house where I can WiiFit it up. That's not to say that when I get there, like usual, I'll sit my butt down until bedtime, but as of now, I want to wii-yoga it up.

... "have you seen yourself today, could you recognize your face, have you told me what to say, mine's lost without a trace." -Amy Johnson
... "I can make it all match up, I can hold my own, I can deal with the situation and right down to the bone I can survive and I can endure and I don't even think about her... most of the time. Most of the time my head is on straight. Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate. I don't build up illusion 'til it makes me sick. I'm not 'fraid of confusion, not matter how thick. I can smile in the face of mankind. Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine... most of the time." - Bob Dylan (discovered on the High Fidelity soundtrack)
... Dwight Yoakam songs.
