Quick update before my trip:
Burned four CDs, 'Eclectic,' 'Twilight,' 'Retrofitted,' and 'Audio Shame.' Eclectic is just a collection of songs I thought I'd put onto a CD, and the different styles that ended up there produced the name. Twilight is the next in a long line of my Evening-type CDs, meaning it's rather high on the unrequited-love-and-regret scale. Retrofitted is a compilation of Mega Man game music remixes; much the fun stuff there, yes. And finally, Audio Shame is a CD of my "guilty pleasures," all those songs I enjoy, but can't admit to liking. I'd give an example or two, but that'd be telling. ^_~
Dad power-washed the back deck t'day. It had what we estimated to be 15 years of accumulated gunk. It looks like a new deck now!
I'm seeing people t'day. That means I shaved.
I'm -trying- to make plans to see my lovely cousins up in Ohio this coming month, before Rachel and I head out to our espective schools.
Still no word on extending my contract.
'Smurf,' a term coined by my younger brother to replace vulgar expletives, has taken up a following, both in Ohio and South Africa, it seems. I will dedicate days of my life toward the propagation of this term.
I will never watch a show of "The Smurfs" on Cartoon Network the same way again.
Talked with Emily the other day. I rather like her, yes'm. The sky is blue.
Talked with Nancy the other day. I think we may yet have a decent friendship. The fingerprints of koala bears are nearly indistinguishable from humans'.
I amuse myself by imagining that someone, somewhere, might read my posts and giggle.
Sometimes, I imagine I'm clever.
And now, off to Gettysburg!

Yeah, about that...
Date: 2003-07-28 05:40 am (UTC)See, here's a bit of that imagined cleverness I was talking about. I think far too much about my own writings...
It's a series of six lines, really, two sets. The first set is "Talked with Emily the other day. I rather like her, yes'm. The sky is blue." The first line is the setup, the second the conclusion, and the third a logical connection to The World At Large. In this case, it's all rather obvious, no?
The second set is the one you refer to, "Talked with Nancy the other day. I think we may yet have a decent friendship. The fingerprints of koala bears are nearly indistinguishable from humans'." Setup, conclusion, connection; in this case, apparently it's a fact, but no one would have ever guessed it.
And I suppose to explain further: I've been back in touch with Nancy, we've written a few emails back and forth, and there's actually been a bit of substance there. So... -shrugs- There you have it.
