A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room.
"Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asked solemnly.
"Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?"
"Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to jail for 20 years?"
I remember that too" she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out today."

Just felt like sharing that.
So... today's been an all-around depressing day.
Meh. But I don't feel like talking about it.
The weather is FREAKISHLY warm today. It's SOOO nice.
Like 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hmmm..
I went to the library last Saturday. Did I mention that?
I was really excited. :D
I NEVER get to go to the library. EVER.
Like, once every two months. -_-
And I'm a book junkie. I can't go 24 hours without my "fix".
OHHHH!
I discovered a new favorite band.
Vertical Horizon.
Love "When You Cry", "Grey Sky Morning", "You're A God", "Everything You Want", and "Forever".
And Imogene Heap, even outside of the one-time band Frou Frou, is fantastic. "Hide and Seek" totally wowed me.
OneRepublic is good as well. Aside from the hit Apologize (without Timbaland, PLEASE) I've found that other good ones are "Goodbye, Apathy" and "Stop and Stare".
... on an entirely different note, I've learned that Marilyn Manson can actually make really good music. Fell in love with his remake of "Tainted Love". It's amazing! >.<
Haha I've been watching this JDrama called Liar Game.
It's so adorable! *squee*
Apperantly the lead character (known as Nao in the drama) was Misa in the Death Note movies? O.o
Anyways. She plays the part here of a hopelessly naiive and well-meaning girl... who incidentally gets involved in a contest known as "Liar Game" where each contestant recieves a large sum of money (100,000,000 yen, I think... roughly $1,000,000... perhaps a bit less) and has to steal their opponent's money. :O Quite amusing, although the first two episodes are slightly boring... the game evolves even more after that. The thing is, if you lose the game, you owe "The Company" all the money you lost. If you win, you pay the company back the initial amount and get the excess money for yourself. The thing is... Nao is pitted against her favorite middle school teacher. She's VERY easily tricked (it's kinda ridiculous) & immediately loses the money to him for "safekeeping"... However, she employs the help of a genius swindler recently released from jail. :O
It's really artistic... lots of darkened sets, a lot of cutting back-and-forth to emphasize certain aspects.
ANNNYYWAYS.
I should go finish start my Science project. Stupid Chemistry.
