One minute is enough

So I've done this before--the update in a minute thing--and I actually sort of like it becaue it forces me to get stuff out quickly.

I went to Disneyland yesterday and my sister's friend had Aladdin sign her pants, which was pretty cool. I had a good time.

MUN is not FUN at the moment, but it's getting to be resolved and I had a nice long talk with Tony that made me feel really good.

School starts in less than a week and I'm having nightmares about it but they're not too bad.

(no subject)

We are the music makers, the ones
who take the silence and bend our ways
around it so that somehow (we still don't know how) we produce
a song, a shout, a cry into the night.
But whatever it is, it's worth it.
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
picking up driftwood aimlessly -- maybe
to construct a house in the sand,
furnished with sea-glass windows that filter the light in
green and brown and blue.
And sitting by desolate streams; places quiet
like that are in short supply
now. "Alone" is not a bad word.
World-losers and world-forsakers --
after all, it's just a world, a mere phsycial
reality, and physicality's not always
something to be craved --
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems. Because who else
cares to move the world, nowadays? You'd be hard-pressed
to come up with a good answer to
that question. So it's up to us. It's up
to us.

I really wish someone would take "Ode" and set it to music so that I could sing it out loud in joy.

Forgetfulness

I was going to do something, but then I forgot what. Oh well, I hope it wasn't a particularly important sort of something. Probably not, if I've forgotten it this easily.

The MUN drama is over, thanks to some good advice and some good friends.

I still haven't started on the Spanish packet, but Rick's coming over later today and we're going to work on it together, so hopefully we'll make a dint in it. (I still don't know quite where mine is, I think it might be in my yearbook.)

I've got a mock trial meeting later today, but that shouldn't be too bad. Now, I think I'm just gonna sit back and read.
