"This should probably be posted on your blog"

Another one of my infamous emails to the Doctor G:

But as the soon-will-be-famous Stephenson says, can you ever truly understand art or is the beauty of it in not understanding?
And I'm much too brain dead to organize the rest of these sentences into some type of paragraph form....
-gave Sally your message, including the quote
-I don't think these are going to end up being sentences
-it will be quite some time before I wear the shirt to carp since I'm never there
-having more faculty would have been more effective if the staff wasn't teachers (as a wise guy pointed out earlier today)
-true true, both of us do miss Sally because I've recently realized that I never see her to talk about anything other than our increasing number of issues
-you need to get some sleep
-I need to get some sleep because I can't think anymore
-though I daresay both of us will be just as tired on Monday
-I have a book for you for sometime
-you gotta watch random liquids around your keyboard. My sister completely fried her laptop this summer with a glass of water
-why ever would I graduate??? I've been a senior for what, two or three years now?
-was quite surprised to get an email back!
-relieved to know I'm not the only person in the school who knows about the ancient mummification processes (though embalming by diet sodas have to be the best. And this is just making me think of "Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain")
-are you sure that you've gotten worse since you were a pro photographer or are you just harder on yourself?
-since I started writing this (it's harder than I thought it would be to watch tv and come up with an email at the same time, so it's been a good hour....) Sally assured me that she isn't mad at you, you just make her feel stupid
-we all have grandiose plans and do nothing about it. I have movies in my head, and what do I do about it? I sleep on my roof.
-the extra cost for Kosher hot dogs was definitely worth it
-everyone's lives are falling apart; too little duck tape to go around; I'm the only sane person left in Club Psycho
-there are too many rhetorical questions in here.
-know the length of your battery cord thing for the laptop to maximize efficiency
-take good notes that you'll never, ever look at again
-most of this is pretty random

I promise

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong


Tonight I throw myself into
And out of the red
Out of her head she sang


Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me


Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head
Out of her head she sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when...she sang


Breathe out so I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head I sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
she sang


And I wonder
If everything could ever feel with real forever
If anything could be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You got to promise not to stop when I say when

"I think you're the only one left sane in Club Psycho, Joy. Unless you're not telling me something. And I've found you're very good at skirting issues you don't want to talk about."

"When you said "Good night, fair fearsome beast," I got the image of you affectionately tucking in a T. rex. Which is cool."

Spam

Spam messages are, other than annoying if you lack a good spam filter, quite humorous to read.


"I should have known youd do anything to get your pills, but when I get mad, I get.

Hurt or not, that man had had the guts to at least try to stand up to Annie Wilkes. But both had discovered that good advice was sometimes easier to give than receive."

"soul. But that leadeth thee. Let it be against Keilah. Then"

"sandwich-box nearly all the way, except when he had been drinking soon cleared out, the horses had been taken out before the luggage, this cost him, or the consciousness of talking in that feeble way, game. Happily, too, the greater part of the boys came back"

"think he told me so, but I was half asleep, until we came to the Oh yes, I replied; I had a good memory, and I believed I afterwards found that he generally acted, with his strong voice, as If youre Master Murdstone, said the lady, why do you go and"

"Well, if you want to know for sure, just check the six oclock news, he thought, and then had to raise both hands to his mouth to plug up the giggles. They bookended Annie and she was saying something to them, first looking up to speak to Goliath, then half-turning and looking down to reply to David.

"Getting into the chair didnt hurt as much as he had feared, and that was good, because previous experience had shown him that he would hurt plenty afterward.
The prosecution wove its net as well as it could, but he handprint with the mark of the ring was really the most damning bit of evidence it could come up with. With that thought in mind he found the pulse in his left thigh, and though he had never injected himself in his life, he did it efficiently now, even eagerly."

"For a moment Geoffrey Alliburton was not sure who the old man at the door was, and this was not entirely because the bell had awakened him from a deepening doze.
He replaced the receiver slowly, a line from an old Roger Miller song occurring to him and seeming to make a certain senseless sense: No phone, no pool, no pets.
Geoffrey realized with cold certainty that what they had seen when Hezekiah pulled the protective screen of bushes aside had come very close to driving Ian mad.
"Annie, do you remember telling me what a little kid says to his mother when she catches him playing with the cleaning fluid under the sink and makes him stop?"

""So computers are tools of the devil?" thought Newt. He had no problem believing it. Computers had to be the tools of somebody, and all he knew for certain was that it definitely wasn't him."

Yes I do

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around

Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life, Simple Plan

Two very special guys.

For the past very long while, there have been two amazing guys in my life, Matt and Josh.
Now, Matt has been amazing for much longer, but that makes Josh no less spectacular.

These two have one thing in common --they are the only people who have hugged me while picking me up and spinning me around in the air.
For some reason, that really turns me on.
It's just awesome.

Matt did that a year or two ago at church; he just hugged me, and before I knew it, I was swinging around the hallway.
It was over too soon.

Yesterday, when I took my group of six eighth graders into Media Broadcasting, I saw Josh and exclaimed "JOSH!"
"That sounds like Joy.... It is Joy!"
When I finally got into the control room, I received my hug, followed by a very unexpected lift and 1020 degree trip. (I do believe everyone who was there was surprised. Including Josh)
It was amazing.

Then, tonight, I came out of the elevator in my church, turned down the hallway, and stopped to read a bulletin board. From further down the hallway, I hear someone running --fast. I see a blue blur, think "Is that Phil? No, Phil wasn't wearing blue--" and then felt an arm knocking across my chest, and a body behind me, barely sweeping me off the ground (they were crouched down), and spinning me around.
"Matt" I think.
"Ow, I think you gave me a bruise,"
"Yes! I gave Matt a bruise!"


It just seems, awesome to me that these guys know exactly how to cheer me up.
Just lift me up.
Which is something that Mason never did.
Which is kindof sad, in a way.
Because those guys are guys that would never date me.
And they're still amazing to me.

Which is why they are my two very special guys.
(For tonight, anyway...)

You're irreplaceable
