I went and saw V for Vendetta and totally loved it. I like a movie that gives a glimpse of a bleak, political future. Exciting. Seriously it was a really good movie. And since the political future of the United States seems rather bleak, it was good satire. I've always known this, but Donald Rumsfeld is rather stupid and I thought I'd mention it on here. Please accept Mr. Rumsfeld's resignation Mr. Bush.
I have a sore throat and my tonsils are really big. Jennifer has a mild case of the flu. Life is fantastic. I was hoping this spring break would be peaceful but so far there's been no success.

I'm trying to sleep but I'm up for the moment. Maybe updating this thing will make me sleepy. I've had a lot of trouble sleeing lately. That's not a big surprise is it? This is the kind of no-sleep that causes me to form bad sentences on my Geocities journal. I don't sleep enough and when I do it's not restful. It feels like I'm on a ferris wheel and everytime I come back around near the ground I ask the operator to stop and let me off but he doesn't. So I'm stuck, and I'm stuck being exhausted and if affects everything around me. I even had trouble figuring out whether to use "affect" or "effect" in the last sentence. Ugh.
Denyce Graves came and sang at UCA last Saturday and it was astounding. I love career performers. I wanted to do that once. Maybe I'll want to do it again. Politics is calling my name. Anyway. She gave a masterclass on Monday that Jennifer Crippen, Nisheedah Golden, and I participated in. We all sang well even though we were nervous as shit. And shit gets pretty nervous. My legs wouldn't stop shaking and I kept having to shift my weight to control them. However, when I finished singing and she came on stage she made me feel like we had known each other forever. She held my hand, spoke eloquently and sincerely, and basically made me feel very at ease. I loved everything she said, and it was all stuff I needed to hear, but I won't bore you with the details. Although I will say she has this intense presence which is very inspiring and made me want to listen to her speak all day long. Only three of us gave pieces, but I wanted three hundred more up there. It's not everyday you get the chance to sing for an international opera star, and so far I've gotten to sing for two. Pretty awesome resume, eh? That's something I don't mind bragging about.

Thanks to everyone who decided to celebrate my birthday with me this weekend, and to those who called and wrote on my wall on facebook. I love you all! For the rest of you, I fart in your general direction. A big fat juicy one. With extra cheese. And some fries. Maybe an apple pie. I wonder if McDonald's is open...?

The past weekend has been hectic. I partied on Friday, worked all day Saturday, and went to church on Sunday. I've never been too fond of busy weekends. I like the chance to rest and reflect and maybe visit my grandfather. However, at the moment I can't drive too far because my radiator is acting up.

I should be asleep. It's been a smattering of posts this month. I haven't had anything worthwhile to write about and I just haven't felt like keeping up with this thing. It doesn't seem as rewarding as it used to be.
It's about to become official that I'm graduating in May. Hooray... Expect an extreme depression to overcome this frail mentality near the end of the semester. Or perhaps sooner.
I LOVE my US Gov't and Politics class. Love, love, love it. However, it feels too basic and I really want more. I want to cram all the knowledge I can into my freaky little head.

I was walking out of the bathroom a while ago, and for a moment I forgot where I was. I knew I had been in the bathroom but for some reason I had no idea where I was in relation to everywhere else. There's gotta be a medical term for that.
When someone says, "It's like sleeping on a cloud," I think to myself, what the hell is sleeping on a cloud like? I understand the metaphor, I'd just like to know where it came from and why someone found it to be descriptive of "peaceful sleep". Wouldn't you fall through a cloud if you tried to lay on it?
That's all for today.

I'm going to my grandfather's today for one last visit before school begins. I also need to go to my old bank in Jacksonville and cancel my account.
I've noticed lately how easy it is for those in positions of authority to elevate themselves above the law. I know this makes me sound naive because most of us understand that it happens often. But lately it's more prevelant in our government. Everyone says they're innocent, but when there are this many scandals going on someone's gotta be guilty. However, I'm a little biased because Tom Delay just looks guilty. And he looks like a child molester.
I'm graduating in May and I'm rather indifferent. It would help if I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Going to school, getting lots of degrees, and living off the government sounds wonderful.
