I made out like a bandit! But seriously, I feel so loved right now.

Oh, and apparently, Sarah, he would have asked me to prom regardless. But, heh, he seemed to find your conversation amusing. And, eh, at least he's done with the asking now. I don't have to wait for it.

All in all, twas an excellent day. I'm quite grateful to all my friends who wished me a happy birthday or participated in the chipotle and/or movie.

dude

What, is it past midnight? this computer's running slow again.

ayn rand essay - completed!

I submitted it... ten minutes ago. Take that, Chaffin! Though I'll admit it's not my best work. Not really that much competition now is it? Oh well, hopefully most of the people who bothered to enter will be like that dumb kid who didn't read the book. They'll all probably talk about charity, because that's what adults usually want to hear. Haha! Ok, maybe not. But here's hoping.

partay!

Or not. Well, ok. Anyone wanna come on friday? It's been decided that 6pm or so we'll go to Chipotle and eat food. Mmm, food. Between 7 and 8 we'll go see Kill Bill, vol. 2. All of you are welcome to come to either! But if you wanna come to the movie, you gotta let me (or Sarah) know so tickets can be purchased before the theater fills up. Also, if you're going to come to either it'd be cool if you'd comment on this entry and let me know.

^.^

yet another reason to love The Cure

current song: Blink 182 - Always

Boulder's gonna be fun. Anime Anonymous

I wanna procrastinate some more... don't wanna do my overdue physics homework... don't wanna study for the Vietnam test... don't wanna fill out the contract sheet for CAS... don't wanna do the math assignments I've been skipping...

So I bought two new CDs yesterday. The new Blink 182 cd, and the self-titled Fountains of Wayne cd. I'm enjoying them both so far. The best part of the Blink 182 cd is that one of the tracks is sung by Robert Smith. Gotta love it. I'ma point that out to Greg next time I see him.

Today's Sunday. More significantly, it's Easter Sunday. This is probably the first Easter where we've done absolutely nothing. I mean, last year I got some candy, and for a long time my parents set up easter egg hunts around the house (so fun!). I'm probably too old for that now anyway. And I won't even be home next year. Erm, living at home. Of course I'll be with my family around this time next year. But I may not come home every weekend, so unless Easter's on the same weekend as my birthday, I probably won't be there for Easter. Hmmm...

Maybe I should eat some matzo. I haven't celebrated passover since I was, like, six. Is it already over? Eh. At any rate, I'm not even sure what you're supposed to do for it anymore. The only parts I remember are eating pieces of matzo and sipping on some nasty tasting red wine. Blech. When I have kids, I'm gonna let 'em drink red wine if they want, it's so bitter they'll be put off alcohol for years, I bet.

Ownership of guns is rather controversial in my mind. If my uncle hadn't had twelve billion guns lying around, he'd probably still be alive. Conversely, if alcohol didn't exist he'd also probably still be alive. But, I mean, it says in the constitution that we can have 'em. And, I mean, it depends on how you use them. Listening to tales of shooting tin cans and jars of spaghetti sauce made my day. Strange how it works.

He didn't live exclusively in Maryland, he also lived in Texas and Colorado a bit before that. So I wouldn't get freaked out about it, Nikki.
