Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
(hallelujah, rufus wainwright...if you haven't heard this song, download it. it's from the shrek soundtrack so i know everyone's heard it. i've probably told you this before, but it's so beautiful.)

hello hello. as you might have guessed from my last post, i'm in a sort of pissed-off mood. and who can blame me? but i'm also in the phase of "horray for everything." this is the phase where i pretend life is worth living, the birds are singing, everything is wonderful kind of bullshit. don't worry kiddies, i'd never kill myself. i honestly LOVE my life so much. you all know this. :) but i just want to let you know where i am so you don't think i'm all wacked out on crack. well, maybe that's true, too. but i think this phase is important for a girl, because she needs to think that things are going to be good around the bend. and i know they will be. let me have my rose colored glasses for a week. and some comfort food. and kind words.

so as most of you know, i'm a wanna-be geologist. i would have loved to major in geology, but was afraid of getting really bad grades at physics and math. so i decided to minor in it. only to fail the last class i needed, and not being able to re-take it in time. it was all crap, the professor was giving us the hardest homework problems. retard. see, for the minor, the math and physics classes are not required. this guy thought i should have been stronger in math. poo on you!! i still really really love geology, and took a ton of extra classes just cause it was so interesting to me. (i should have gotten the minor cause i had the heart...but i don't live in a dreamworld.) after feeling several earthquakes today and feeling really excited because i knew so much about them, i went exploring online. i found a site where you could report what you felt, how others reacted, etc. so cool!! (for me, a nerd, I KNOW!! but you're still reading so shutup.) so i want you all to be safe when you feel the next one. first, go to a doorway and wait for the shaking to stop. :) but then, go online and check out the map of california, and you can locate the epicenter of the earthquake. and if you feel so cool as to describe your experience, go here and tell 'em what you felt. :) i think it's cool cause it looks like the faults were just releasing stress through a series of minor earthquakes. which seems to be better than a couple of major jolts. although, i wouldn't know since i didn't minor in geology. :)

i hope you enjoyed the nhl all-star game today. pretty exciting at the end. and who would have guessed that the nfl pro bowl would have at least one exciting play? did anyone see the last play of the first half? not only did the refs call an illegal forward lateral (which has to be BY FAR the best looking call...it's the, "i farted and it's really smelly" motion) but al michaels made a reference to "the play." i knew we kept him around for something.

so i have a few links for ya tonight. i didn't put these up last night because it was such an opposite reaction to my entire day. i was upset to hear that the crew of space shuttle columbia died during re-entry. i can't believe that parts of the shuttle actually made it to earth, including this. moment of silence please.

but honestly...people all over the world die every day. there could be a train that derails in india and 200 people die, and nobody really cares. why do these people get so much publicity? not to downplay their deaths at all, but it just saddens me that worse things happen and nobody seems to care. i think i get pissed at people who get all emotional over this, but as they hear about something like the train derailing, they change the channel. i'm not mad at you, just others.

okay. that's enough out of me for a night. don't forget to send me your applications. or maybe i should make one up. excellent....
