Song: Consider This - Anna Nalick
Today after cleaning my room (or attempting to) I didn't feel so great. So I took some pain medicine...About an hour later I was quite giddy. It was wonderful. I was in church service when the 'high' feeling hit. I started giggling for no reason. Then I had this odd disconnected feeling. About half an hour passed and I felt nauseous...which is why I don't take medicine much.

Song: Come Unto Me - Nicole C. Mullen
You know, it's rather disturbing to find holes in what you otherwise thought of as a solid argument. However, fixing these holes helps people to intellectually grow. Logically, a wall filled with plugged holes is not sound. You have to tear down the old wall and build a stronger one. If you find holes that need to be fixed in that one, repeat the process.

Song: Bleed - Anna Nalick
Ah, Wednesday. My day off. Much to be done today. My room will have to be painted soon. I'm not looking forward to painting it. Do I look like a painter to you?! Anyway, it will be blue, and so will I once I start painting. Knowing me, there will be more paint on me than the walls.

Song: Polly Wolly Doodle
"Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less." I finally understand. All this time I was thinking it was the former. I, in fact, was thinking a lot of myself and what a horrible person I am. Very depressing. Hopefully that will change now that I have a definition.

Song: My Own Worst Enemy - Lit
Buh-bye to Six Flags. Ah well, I get a day off anyway. I heard an interesting quote tonight at church, "The past is gone, the present is confusing, and the future scares me." Am I crazy or have I said that before, even verbatim? Then the preacher said "Obviously a Christian didn't say that." Ouch. There's another thing I need to change.

Song: Finding Me - Vertical Horizon
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." - FDR. Yeah...right. Did you also know that I have to completely change? The thought itself doesn't sound appealing, but whatever it takes, I'll do it. I'll still be Rebekah...just without the foolishness.

Song: Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts
Lesson learned today: never argue with my grandmother about government and constitutionality. Every time I take a class, I get caught up in it. But I suppose you've figured that out by now if you've been a faithful reader. Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that if you want to argue about a moral principle, it does no good cite the Bible as a resource if your opponents have no respect for it. You have to use logic and generally accepted sources, even if your original reason for your stance is religious and biblically founded.

Song: My Ding-a-Ling - Chuck Berry
What an odd song. Anyhoo, Monk is finally in a new season! I bet you can guess what I'll be doing at 11 tonight. Hello television. Interesting news of the day: a town landmark was demolished by a runaway log truck today. No one was hurt, so I can laugh about it. It's not necessarily that funny, it's just ironic. And we all know how I laugh in the face of irony. I sat at the bank for three hours doing practically nothing since the power was out and all. I was getting paid at least. It wasn't a complete waste of time.

Song: Breathe (2 am) - Anna Nalick
"And you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable. Life's like an hourglass glued to the table." You know, I thought that a class on American Govt would be trying to persuade a student to a political state of mind, but what I've read, especially the chapter on bureaucracy, disgusts me even more. They waste money, they won't listen to the economists, and because they don't have to guard their jobs like in the private sector they're also not very fast or efficient. But there's no use in getting angry over it. I can't change it unless I infiltrate the system, and I refuse to do that.

Song: They Can't Take That Away From Me - Gershwin
I still don't like Atlanta. With that being said, I fortunately don't have to go back for a while. Anyway, I've been sick today. Too sick to play the piano, even. I think it's just a 24 bug, but that doesn't make me feel any better. Guess what today is, it's the nine month anniversary. It seems like forever since the accident, but it seems like only yesterday that he was still here.

Song: Unwell - Matchbox Twenty
I've taken up a project: I want to know who God is. I want to throw out all things I've heard and go strictly by the Bible. You've got love and peace preachers and you've got fire and brimstone preachers. Both have got their points, but I've got an idea that sometimes people make up traits for Him that they want Him to have.

Song: Somewhere - West Side Story
I hate Atlanta. Need I say it again? Ok, I don't really hate it. I just don't like big cities. Too much chaos. I like order, as you probably know. I hope everyone had a good 4th. Mine was alright, except I didn't put enough salt in the mashed potatoes. Instant, of course.

Song: Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
I feel very...level-headed. Levels are useful tools. They're practical and logical. Sigh. Who needs euphoria anyway?
