Song: I Wait for the Lord - Jeremy Camp
I have begun Myst III: Exile. Although I was a bit disappointed that Cyan didn't do this one and they had done such a great job on the others, Presto Studios has done something even better. More player control. More visuals. It's like really being in the game. The villain is much creepier too. You still can't beat the classics, though. Exile seems to be almost too colorful and fantastic. The others, while I do complain about player control, seem weathered and real.

Song: Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson
I seem to be craving the sound of major distortion. (Yes, it's Kelly Clarkson, but there's plenty of loud angry chords.) I was having a pretty good day until I discovered that I failed a room inspection twice. If I had actually known I'd failed in the first place I would have tried to fix it. But no. No notification. How unfair. ANYHOO. Wow, he was right. Pop music is boring. Same chord progression. Take out the voice and it could be any number of songs. So that's how Max Martin and Diana Warren crank out like a thousand songs a year...That makes me sick. Bored? Count how many times I've used the word 'anyhoo'. Have fun.

Song: Cross My Heart - S Club 7
I was going to change the page for March, but I'm too lazy right now. Um...anyhoo...this has been a strange day. Snow. Freezing cold. Suddenly too warm. Breezy. And to top it all off, someone who I thought wouldn't ever call me again did. I must be rational about this. For one thing, I'm not sure why he called. Bored, maybe? But it is possible that Mr. "ack! you're 19!" is still interested. If he is, does he meet my qualifications? Never underestimate the power of qualifications. It's all about the checklist.

Song: In the Morning - Norah Jones
The Procrastinator is here! How very ironic. Procrastinating + Punctual = Stress. I wonder why I never thought about that before... Courtesy of my uncommon sense. Yay for uncommon sense! It's the best kind. ??Tchaikovsky! Symphonies! Business ethics class in 5 minutes! Wait...take the ! off. That's no place for a ! . That's more of a "joy." punctuation.

Song: Driving a Truck - Weird Al
I went to a donor family meeting thingy today. Talk about depressing. I don't like crying, and that was just asking for it. It's like they're trying to get people to burst into tears. Anyhoo. Question of the day: what should I eat for supper? No deep thinking right now. I'm trying to keep my spirit light (and my stomach full).

Song: Home on the Range
Yeah, so I'm still in a foul mood, and I'm still limping! I'm also hungry. What a great combination. I am also still 19. Get over it!!! Which brings me to the fact that I am also incredibly single. I like video games, classic rock, and I'm fairly good at ping-pong and pool. What more could a guy want? Well whatever it is, I apparantly don't have it.

Song: Changes - David Bowie
Ack!!! Bad timing! Bad timing! I like to be punctual, but it seems that everyone else is late. Anyhoo! Since no one is online right now to tell, I'll just have to talk it out right here. Ok, first of all I got a knee injury last night. So I'm limping around. Second, on my way to aural skills someone asked me out. Totally unexpected. And I've actually been interested in the guy for quite some time. But the problem is that I also like someone else. This is why it is bad timing. If guy #1 had asked me out two semesters ago like I thought he was going to in the first place, I probably wouldn't like guy #2. Ok, now I"ve got to study. I've already hyperventilated once this week, and I don't need to do it again UPDATE: Yaaaaaargh! Stupid men! Honestly. I look less than 19 and I'm a sophomore. So why on earth would he get the idea that I'm older?! Really! Use your common sense people!! I need a tub of ice cream and something to throw. Not necessarily in that order.

Song: Papa Can You Hear Me? - Charlotte Church
Today I tried to convince my mother that bribery was necessary and even ethical in undemocratic countries. (Ethical if you take a utilitarian approach.) As I was speaking I thought "I'm advocating bribery. What has happened to me?!" I'll tell you what has happened to me. I took a business ethics class and now I'm studying for the exam. The data being put into my brain is apparantly more serious than I thought.

Song: Open Arms - Journey
An 80's song. Yet enjoyable. This cannot be! Oh well. There are always exceptions. The day began rather well. Awake at 6:30 and shopping at Walmart by 8:00. I was in dire need of Kleenex. So I just bought the works: thermometer, vapor rub, hand sanitizer, Antiviral Kleenex, cough drops, etc. I should have just worn a sign saying "Sick Person Here: May Sneeze." Anyhoo, it began going downhill when I swallowed that cough drop (a lemony-tasting acidy feeling). *cough* Fast-forward to the good part: I came home and ate much barbeque.

Song: Where Is Your Heart - Kelly Clarkson
I have made great progress in the emotional department. I am beginning to trust some people around here. Unfortunately in the physical department I am declining. I have a cold and my throat hurts. Inverse relationship, possibly? Oh, good news on yesterday's entry. I think the call was completely unrelated to my previous conversation. Not awkward anymore. Mostly, anyway.

Song: Moon River - Henry Mancini
Late night talks are a bad idea. They're very depressing, and I usually start acting a little crazy (yes, more crazy than usual). Face it Rebekah: You're crazy, and despite all these reassurances, nobody wants you. Lovely. Wonderful. I think I'll go create mnemonic devices for the 27 Amendments now. 1:16 pm. I believe I have gotten myself into a mess. I don't know for sure yet, but I suspect it strongly. I have a feeling that people are worried about my mental health and are going to confront me with it... I got a call from someone while I was in class. This person wouldn't have called me unless it was something like that. I do believe that last night while I was being crazy and backed into a corner, I said a few things just to get them to stop bugging me. What I said was true, but really not a big deal. Truths, but not important truths. They may have interpreted it wrongly. How very awkward.

Song: Gravity - Shawn McDonald
Happy Single Awareness Day! Ok, I borrowed that. You know what I mean. Anyhoo...No more experiments. I need to try to be myself instead of what I think other people want me to be. Scavenger hunt tonight. Should be great fun. I hope...I'm going to try to be a driver. Being a passenger with no control is terrifying.
