11.09 AM If you're out on the road, Feeling lonely and so cold, All you have to do is call my name, And I'll be there on the next train. Where you lead, I will follow. Anywhere, that you tell me to. If you need, you need me to be with you, I will follow, Where you lead. Yes, I wish that I had someone to sing me that song and sing it truthfully. Anyways, that's the Gilmore Girls theme song, in case you live in a bubble and aren't obsessed like me. Yes, I know, my life is sad. But everyone gets their kicks somewhere, right? Mine just happened to be in the form of a TV show. Speaking of TV shows, I haven't watched Friends, Scrubs, ER, etc from last week. Not ready for this week's episodes. Oh well. I don't know, I'm just not up to watching them. It could be because all the dirtiness of the shows (at least Friends and Will & Grace) has finally gotten to me. Seriously, all their stupid drama/who's having sex with whom seems kind of trivial to me now. But it could also be because I feel dumb watching it by myself. Sometimes, I really miss last year. Hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . Anyways, it's Thursday so I don't want to ruin the great day by sounding too complainy. I actually love life and what not and did I mention Thursdays rock?!?! Because they do!!!! I'm in a particularily good mood today because I got to talk to Cindy last night online, even if it was only for like 3 minutes. She left me messages in my journal (happiness). I miss my good old Salami friend. We are both way too busy for humans. Maybe robots could handle it but I have a feeling they would even power down. Anyways, we made a phone date for Sunday. Since I haven't talked to her since school started, that will be great. So many things to talk about though!! I should make a list of topics so that we will not waste times with pauses of silence. Making my new list of things to do. It will be very long, I think. Yesterday's list was 20 and I did 8 and a half things on it. Woo hoo for me. Now I must transfer those other 12 things to my new list. Woo hoo for lists!! Today's Quote: "Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness." Amos Bronson Alcott Also a good quote that I think applies to my life right now: "So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter." Gordon William Allport Yeah, so I can do anything about the stuff that is messed up in my life, but I can at least laugh at it. So that is what I am doing right now . . . laughing at the silliness that is me. ha Ha HA Hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . really want to watch Gilmore Girls now. I know that when Megan reads about my GG obsession, she is just sitting over in her corner of the room laughing the evil laugh. All I have to say is that I am still cooler than you, so beat that! PS - Chemistry still sucks. Yeah, major. Except for the fact that Professor Bean lit magnesium on fire and put it in dry ice today, chemistry is pointless. And I really need to learn what the heck is going on. Because if I get C+/B- on the exam when I think I know what's going on, I don't want to know what this exam will be like when I have no idea. I think I will be busting open that "Chemistry: The Central Science" book soon. Not that I haven't read it already this year. In fact, that's all I did to study for the test. Read the chapters, I think that's why I did so well and stupid people who just concentrated on the problems did bad. Ha ha to them. Woo hoo for reading. Speaking of reading, I really need a new book. I think I'm going to go old school and buy a classic book this time. This is the influence of Rory Gilmore (yes, from the TV show). Her favorite book is Anna Karenina, which although long is supposed to be very good. If I get it and read it, I'll let you know what it's like. Memory Verses for my one-on-one with Clare today: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" -- 2 Corinthians 5:17 "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him." -- Colossians 2:6 "For in Christ, the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head of every power and authority." -- Colossians 2: 9, 10 Woo hoo for me because there were only 3 minor mistakes in those. I fixed them, don't worry. But I'm learning something, even if it's not necessary for classes. It is, though, necessary for me. Made my list, it only has 14 things on it! Woo hoo, it exactly fills up the front of my card, I don't have to use the back. I rock today! Since I was accused this week of being more mature than last year, I will end this journal entry with this quote: "You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself." Ethel Barrymore you know you love me ;)
