L O V E

I don’t like downloading programs using other programs. Yeah, that made a lot of sense. Take the new Google Pack, a compilation of various Google and third-party applications that you can download using the nifty Google Updater. None of the apps are very big. The biggest is Norton AntiVirus 2005 SE, which is 24 megs. I could download that in about five minutes on my current Internet connection. But it’s taken Google almost all afternoon, and the little thingy says it’s got fifty-four minutes to go. Gar. I’d download it seperately, but I can’t figure out how. But this is all beside the point because I don’t like Norton and use avast! instead. It’s free.

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you

Free Askar

National Flag

The Democratic States of Free Askar

“Without personal liberties, we are nothing.”

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Excellent	Economy: Good	Political Freedoms: Excellent

Location: The North Pacific

The Democratic States of Free Askar is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning askarian eagle population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23%. A large private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Crime is a problem. Free Askar’s national animal is the askarian eagle and its currency is the askot.

Ian got me hooked. I don’t like the bit about the cheese, but there’s not much I can do about that. Meh.

I got back from PLU yesterday. It was all right. I was planning to rant on how I’m doomed to mediocrity because I’m not some rich snob who can drop a few thousand dollars on quality equipment, but I realized that would be whining, and I’m not much of a whiner. But I have decided I’m not continuing on with concert performance in college. No more clarinet for me, until I’m filthy rich and can afford a really good one. Instead, I’ll concentrate more on marching band. I think I’d have a lot of fun playing at football games and doing field shows. Yeah.

I also got new glasses. They’re snazzy.

Talk to my agent

Hmm, I can’t seem to use the rich text editing box. Probably a problem with Firefox, but I just can’t figure it out…oh well.

I’m off to PLU tomorrow for a glorious two-day adventure in playing music I’ve probably never seen before! And I’m still rusty on my audition materials! Big surprise there. Anyways, I’ll be gone all day Friday (we leave at 5:00 in the morning… *groan*) and most of Saturday, so if I don’t return your calls, don’t think I hate you. It’s just that my agent is an anti-social person. Kidding.

So who watched the Rose Bowl? Oh, I don’t care about the game. I just watched it for the USC band. That’s the kind of stuff I want to be doing. I’m serious. I’ve always wanted to dance like Michael Jackson in the middle of a football field. Really.

Feelings

Happy New Year everyone! Yeah, a bit late. Oh well.

This is going to be one my “feelings” posts, so if you ever find the urge to retch becoming powerful, you’d best stop reading.

I’ve never really been good at expressing myself, especially when girls are involved, and even more especially when I’m dating said girls. Even once we’re well past first base, I still find it a little hard to just sit down and tell her how I feel. Of course, I’ve only dated, what, two girls, so I’m not expecting to be an expert or anything. But I still find it odd that I can’t just tell my girlfriend how I feel about her. And why not? Am I afraid of some sort of rejection? It’s really just silly. I’ve made out with her, for crying out loud, I should be able to talk to her.

For the most part, I’m talking about Lindsay here. But I also realize that I was the same way back in sophomore year, when I dated Becca. Now, what I’m about to say may violate common sense, but I’ve got to say it anyways:

Becca and Lindsay, you two are the best things that ever happened to me. I’d never dream of hurting either of you. If I never made that clear before, I’m saying it now. Thanks.

All right, I’m done. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, whatever that may be.
