Lay Down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end

Sleep now
Dream--of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time

Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

-Return of the King

I took the Tickle/Emode Classic IQ test:

Your IQ score is 135

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test. According to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Visionary Philosopher.

This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns.

YAY, I FEEL SO NORANT!

So... definitely haven't written in a while.

[WB RECAP]

The break is over -- I worked for most of it... then went to Downtown Disney with Aimee and her sis, Naomi. I'd write more about the break, except that most of it passed in a blur of popcorn, The Return of the King, Big Fish, and Jerry O'Connell.

[1st Week of Classes]

It was a pretty long week... I've been adding classes like CRAZY... finally got in to Family Violence, and the Research in Bio.... I am VERY excited about both... and most of my other classes... Taking a full-load again, but it should be alright...

First of work shifts... work is pretty laid back... can't really complain about work that's ten times less annoying than last semesters... except for today when i didn't get a dinner break even though i worked for 8 hours... but Kristin gave me LOTS of little breaks... so it was pretty cool...

FINALLY got my paycheck from AMC... pretty sweet....

My birthday was about 3 days ago, and it was the best birthday that I have ever had. They did a lot for me -- Harry Potter cake and balloons, getting people together to celebrate it with me, wonderful presents, and awesome cards. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :D ... Thank you EVERYONE - Momo, Becca, Danielle, Trish, Melissa, Steve, Dave, Zach, Jenn, Katie, Sarah, and everyone else that made it so special. And of course, thanks Josh -- for brining down your Ithacappella buddies to sing me a happy b-day. :D ... that was CRAZY... haha... And thanks everyone who wished me a happy bday :D

On Friday night, the girls threw a party... Becca's little ceramic tub thing broke... which BITES... then I ran away -- I went to the movies w/ Joe... someone broke my hot sauce bottle and made a little mess then didn't clean it up... the girls got written up by a cop for hosting underage drinking... or something like that... anywho... big drama... everyone trying to calm themselves by saying it won't be a big deal... which probably and hopefully won't be a big deal. Just the normal college stuff... right?

So, that's the jist of everything, I guess.

[Some other Pensive-y stuff]
It's a new decade in my life, now. It's weird. Somehow, I do feel different, and at the same time, I feel like I am struggling against something that I can't see. I suppose I will find out sooner or later. There is an irksome feeling that will not dissipate, and perhaps my senility is kicking in already. Not that I'm lamenting about my age... I kind of like the idea that I am 20... maybe I'll finally grow up and be an adult...

Been thinking a lot about Seth lately.

Family Violence is going to be tough. I hope I don't break, yet. I hope I am ready for this.
