I'll bet that confused you.I'm listening to M-Pact's Christmas album. That song just happens to be playing, and it's a perfect melancholy, "I've got the blues" song. Lovely harmonies. Just lovely. Just as lovely as the harmony that makes my life.I'm sure you've all had these kinds of days--the days where you aren't really happy, but you aren't really sad, but you feel kind of down, and all you

Yesterday, Chris T. and I had one of our little tea and snack get-togethers, and I helped him with some Encore stuff. He has some great songs on his list. It's too bad we're both booked to the max, because there is so much we want to do, but he has his audition at U of Michigan, and I've got theater rehearsal and Model UN. We watched Beauty and the Beast and then Anastasia, but we ended up

I called you today. We had plans and we kept them, despite what we said, despite what you read. Then you spoke back to me. I couldn't believe you were talking on the phone. You hate it so much, but then, you were talking more than I was. You made a decision. It was a first. I was so excited. You chose well and we enjoyed it fully, friends and all. I love your laugh.

I've always believed there is a time for what is right and what is wrong. There is such a thing as you shouldn't cut off your nose to spite your face, and I fear a friend of mine did just that.

Day 2 of school is over. I never want to go through that again. How dare a renowned teacher do that? That is completely unfair. To suggest to a few students of the class that they should take a lower class because of "last year's" math scores. I don't think she realizes how biased that is. Comparing one year to the next is low...it's a new low on the teacher scale. I know they already are

I'd like to clear things up a bit here. First off, I am not perfect and never will be even close to that. Probably not even half. I've sown seeds of rumor, I've said what I didn't want to, said what I didn't mean to, and have thrown away what is precious many times...those are among the worst things I have done.

Hmmmm...so this is a blog...nothing like Free Open Diary. Much better in fact...Well, for my first comment of the day! Shalom! Hey! Yo! And all of that. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Today was a most interesting day.
