A Bit Of A Random Post Tonight

Love is like another life given to you. When it starts, you feel like you've been born again, and when it ends you feel like you're dying. Ok, maybe just another life given to your emotions.

I saw a version of that quote somewhere (of course, I improved it) and found it slightly interesting. Thought I'd post it.

This is the greatest line: "We won't forget Tony and Johnny, oh oh!" heehee "No matter how the miss us they still wish us the best on the road. Garrett took a plane to Paris, France, now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls."

I have written down the words in Catch-22 that I didn't know, looked them up quickly with the help of my friend, and here are some of the ones that I found interesting so far.

saturnine- Having the temperament of one born under the supposed astrological influence of Saturn (which I thought sounded pretty cool) a.k.a. sullen, depressed, melancholy, bitter.
unctuous- characterized by insincere earnestness (this is fun)
paroxysm- a sudden outburst of emotion or action, a fit or spasm
avuncular- Get this-- of or having to do with an uncle. That's the real definition! Isn't that great?
And one more for the road...
aplomb- confidence, self-confident assurance, that sort of thing

There. You've had your vocabulary lesson for the day.

I'd tell you what I did today, but I just emailed Crystal and don't feel like typing it all over again. So... COPY.......PASTE......Ta-da! Here you go!

For a quick list of things I've been meaning to tell you, before I forget:

1. Harvey and Ariel broke up.
2. "Last Call" is perfect for doing The Dance. We'll do it at the show.
3. Mom says- "Send the license paper back here with the money and we'll send it in."
4. I realized today that most -if not all- skater boys are loud and annoying. In spite of their good style, they're usually obnoxious.

I know, I haven't written you in awhile. But I can't really think of anything to say. I don't know. I'm really tired. I finished my book Lucas just a bit ago, and it was rEally good. The one with the kid on the cover with his really blue, intense eye staring at you? It made me want to be British (the whole thing takes place on this island in the south of England). I'm working along in Catch-22, page 82 out of 455. I know that sounds pathetic, but I'm feeling good. It's a nice book so far. I have never quite been able to grasp the meaning of the phrase "Catch-22," so I figured I'd better read the book. And if I still don't get when I've gone through all that, well, I guess it's just hopeless. Kind of like me and euchre. At least it's a good book. Odd, but good. If I've already told you all this before, I apologize. I listened to "Down And Out" again, and I can hardly wait until the whole album comes out. Are you enjoying your Anberlin cd? I was sad yesterday when Mom yelled at me for being on the phone with you for 10 minutes, and then she took the phone and talked for 25. Oh well. You just go on. I'm really bored here. I don't have anything to do except read, homework, check email and such, watch Seinfeld. It all gets a bit routine. Hopefully I will be going to get my permit on Monday. It's Wednesday. I don't know what I'm going to do when after I send you this. Mom and Julie are at church and it's very quiet. Maybe I'll go try and catch up on my webcomic. A few days ago I went through about 20 of them, and still loads more to go. It's fun. I drank some black coffee in a just-over-half-full glass today. It was sort of weird.

Well, I think I'm out. Of things to say. Talk to you soon, and you stay out of Mr. Magic's way.
